My Newest Cousin

My newest baby cousin was born on Monday, April 9. Unfortunately, it is a girl, so I won't be able to play in the mud with her.

Her name is Mialee Ann Heer. She was 6 pounds 13 ounces.



Her brother Dillon was hanging out at my house while she was being born. My Mom made him a cool shirt.



He likes his baby sister a lot.



I like her okay, as long as my Mom isn't holding her!

When Mom Gets Bored

The other day my Mom got bored, and this was the end result.






She says the next time she gets bored, she's adding a zebra. Too bad she won't let me help...

Fishy Fish Fishes

The other day we got in our truck and went fishing! We were gone for 3 days, and we caught a lot of fish.
Here is my Dad with the first big fish he caught.



Here is my Great-Uncle Roger with the REALLY big fish he caught.



My Mom is mean. She tried to make me kiss the fish!



Here is Auntie Poo-poo with the tiny fish she caught.



Here is me catching a fish with my Dad.



I also caught a fish with my Mom and the fishing pole that my Uncle Scott got me for my birthday. My Dad tells me I am a natural fisherboy, even though I get distracted sometimes and forget to hold on to the pole.



Here's an itty bitty fish that my Mom caught and the dog tried to eat.



Me and Poo-poo did a lot of stuff together.



I was throwing a lot of rocks in the water, but it didn't scare away any fish!



I was a big bed hog when I slept with Mom and Poo-poo at the hotel.



Our room was pretty comfy.



On the last day we were fishing, we heard a big boom and saw lots of smoke, so Dad and Grandpa and I went to investigate. Someone's campfire got away from them and melted a fifth wheel camp trailer. By the time we got back with the camera, this is all that was left...



I got a good sunburn and a black eye, but I can't wait to go fishing again!

It's All Relative

So some people came and visited us last week, and apparently they are related to me. There was a kid my age- his name is Arthur, and he and I even speak the same language! It was nice to have someone that understands me for a change.

Here we are discussing the economy - I know, to you it sounds like gibberish, but believe me, I think I got him to agree with my point of view.



Mind you, we didn't spend his whole visit discussing important grown-up things, we also found time to behave like babies.



I have never taken a nap in the guest room before, but I have to say, the bed is mighty comfy!



Auntie Cheri was also visiting for a few days, and Arthur and I decided to try on he shoes, and as they say, walk a mile. We walked like 20 feet and then decided that high heels are TORTURE!



Arthur was also here for Easter. We got matching hats!



Here is Arthur's brother, Sam. He also got a hat, but I guess he didn't like it. Or maybe he didn't like having his picture taken.



Here is Arthur's dad, my Great Uncle Bruce. As you can see, he is almost as big of a dork as my Dad!



Hmm... maybe a bigger dork... I don't think my Dad has ever worn leiderhosen.

Tubby Time

I like baths. I actually really like water in general. For some odd reason (at least my Mom says it's odd), I enjoy having my hair washed. I also really like bath toys-but really, who doesn't?



And then there's splashing. You CAN'T tell me you don't LOVE splashing!



Apparently my Mom does not love splashing... Weirdo!

New Shoes and Other Important Stuff

My Auntie April, (whose name I have trouble pronouncing, to the great amusement of my Mommy)... Actually, let's just pause here and review how I pronounce "April"...



It sort of takes me a minute to get to the point in that video, doesn't it?

Anyway, recently Auntie April went to Hawaii and saw Tutu. My Mom and I went to pick her up at the airport, and she brought me a present from Hawaii! New shoes!!!!



These are special shoes that you can only wear when it's warm outside, and my Mom has hidden mine, because I keep trying to wear them out in the snow. Here I model the shoes by walking around my house!



The other cool thing about Auntie April coming back from Hawaii is that she brought a really cool toy. I had a lot of fun playing with it, and I was REALLY sad when she left and took it with her.



All well, I'll bet she comes here again!

I Like To Paint!

I really like to paint and fingerpaint. My Mom has lots of different paint for me to use, but she doesn't let me do it nearly enough.



I think a good technique is to smear all the colors together so it looks sort of tie-dyed...



And it is important to make lots of handprints!
