Happy July!

This month of summer has been so much fun! This weekend Mommy, Daddy, and I went to the LaCrosse fair. We saw all kinds of animals. I wasn't scared of any of them. We even noticed how similar the piggies were to my puppy Mugsy. I could hardly stand waiting in line for the Merry Go Round. I tried out 3 different horsies to ride before I found this nice white one. It was so fun I didn't want to leave.
After the Merry Go Round, I found another great horsie to ride. Look at this sweet little pony I rode. Mommy thought I was such a grown up boy holding onto the saddle and riding this horse. He was a very nice horse and I had such a fun ride.
Another fun fair thing I did was check out all the great tractors. I showed Daddy how to sit up here and drive around like my Grandpa's have shown me.
Mugys and I are becoming better friends than ever. I've found she's really fun to try to ride around on. Funny thing is she tries to run away most of the time when I try to get a ride.
Last weekend we had a party for Andy and Krystal before they move. Uncle Andy got a new job in Phoenix so they moved last week. I can't wait until their wedding this fall so I can see them again and show them all my new dance moves.
For the 4th of July, Grandma and Grandpa Huneke had a nice picnic and fireworks. My Grandma and Grandpa Thomforde also came for the party. I had so much fun with all of them. Grandpa Huneke had a really good fireworks show. It was a little loud though so Mommy and I listened from in the house.
Grandpa helped me play with my trucks and tractors. I know he can help me with all the farm work my little tractors have to get done. That's why I was so confident when I saw all the big tractors at the fair-cause Grandpa's taught me so much.
Cousin Amaya gave me a nice ride in the stoller at the party. She would go really fast so I could laugh. She spent almost the whole day in the pool but still had energy to take me on a stroller ride!My cousin Garrett taught me the best new skill I've learned so far-how to drive the gator! It is really for kids at least 4, but I am so smart, I learned to drive it already at 1 3/4 years old! Garrett first took me on some rides so I could see how to use it.

It didn't take long though and I was ready to take the wheel. I can't wait to visit Grandpa and Grandma Huneke again so I can drive around some more. I wonder if Grandpa and Grandma Thomforde will buy a new car for me too???

Some Fun New Things!

Look at what Daddy taught me! At first I thought only 1 finger would work at a time, but I was wrong!
My first dinner with corn on the cob for this summer. Daddy thinks I only tried it because I saw him eating it. He always makes food look more yummy than I think.
Daddy got me this great new electric toothbrush. I am such a smartie I can turn it on and off all by myself. Plus I like using this one way more than my boring regular toothbrush.
Daddy brought home all these fun Star Wars toys that he used to (and still sometimes does) play with.
We thought we'd share one picture from Mommy and Daddy's vacation. They went to Milwaukee to watch the Twins beat the Brewers. Mommy said it was too hot, but they found the frozen margaritas helped deal with the heat. Thank goodness it was a short trip because Mommy missed me a lot and I like it when Mommy and Daddy are home to take care of me.

My stay at Grandpa and Grandma Thomforde's

Last week Mommy and Daddy were gone a couple of days so I stayed with my grandparents. I even got one day to spend with Grandma Huneke and Aunt Kelly. We went to the park and had fun all day. I don't have pictures of that day though so I'll show you the rest of my fun week. Andy and Krystal came and spent some time with us. They have exciting news that Andy got a new job being a mechanical engineer in Phoenix so they're moving soon! Don't worry, they'll be back for the wedding so I'll still be in a cute tux for a night of dancing.
Aunt Lauren was around too. She took time out from studying to help me with my cookie and lemonaide. She's always fun to play with.
Grandma took really good care of me. She lets me snuggle and cuddle as much as I want. I found this new hat of Grandpa's that I really liked.
I took some rides around the farm in this wheelbarrow. I visited the cows and watched the tractors.
Grandpa does all the fun farm work for me to watch and learn. I saw him feed the cows and drive the pick-up. He teaches me all about the farm.
