I am Four!

 I'm baking my Birthday Cake.
 I learned how to crack the eggs
and held the bowl as the batter was beaten.
 Voila!  A dinosaur Scene-A-Rama!
 With Daddy, Mommy, and Elena
Thanks, Grama! 
There's a volcano in the bottom left corner.
I find volcanos fascinating.
 Is this what I think it is?
 Our Grampa-Grandson shirt with the photo from the Cruise!
I invited my friends to Pump It Up for my Birthday Party.
Here I come!
When Grampa saw this photo he noted that
I've come a LONG Way!
 Pile Up!
Elena is between Daddy and me. 
I am the Birthday Boy
at the head of the table at the Pizza Feast.
Thanks, Mommy and Daddy, for a great time!
I made my hand print.
It's the best ever!
I've grown so much since my first hand print.
I received some super gifts from my friends but this is what
I really wanted and Mommy and Daddy gave it to me...
Mega Loop Mayhem!
 
 

Parks & Puppies and Habby Ahbby

Hi Everybody! 
I love dogs and cats so in the late afternoon
I take Cat and go to the Gazebo
to visit my Puppy Friend.
At a picnic I met this fluffy puppy.
And here is a Halloween Kitty!
My new winter clothes have kitties and doggies on them at my insistence!
I also love to play.  I played in a Bouncy House at the picnic
and a Slide at the park
They were lots of fun.
I watched Mommy doing  something very strange 
and then decided to try it.
My favorite song is "Habby Ahbby" aka "Happy Birthday"
and I have had lots of opportunities to sing it.
Grampa was in Europe on his recent birthday
so we surprised him when he came to visit with a
Cruise Ship Birthday Cake.
"Habby Ahbby to You!"
I couldn't play on all the toys at Pump It Up for
Judah's Birthday.
So I had a great time with my good friend Annabel..
And of course Grampa and Grama were there.
So many happy times!

Cruising with My Family

 
Events still take me by surprise so one day I was delighted
to discover that my Grama and Grampa, aunts and uncle
came to our house to go on a Caribbean Cruise to
celebrate Grama and Grampa's 40th Wedding Anniversary.
You can safely say I fell in love with my Aunt Stacy.

(To better see the photos, double click on the first one and scroll through.)
 Videos of Uncle Simeon's dog Gizmo kept me entertained
 especially as we waited to board the ship.
Here we all are!
Ready to Cruise!
Aunt Stacy and Uncle Simeon, Aunt Sarah,
Grama and Grampa, and, of course,
Judah, Mommy, Daddy and me, Elena!
 We ladies are exploring the ship.
 Look at the wake!
 Yep, Aunt Stacy is sure nice.
I'm so calm with her.
 Grampa and I on our combined balcony.
 Let me in, Grama!
 Ah!  Enjoying the pool with Mommy.
 All dressed for supper and waiting for everyone else.
 There were plenty of elevators and stairs to go
up and down on.
 While Mommy and Daddy and my aunts and uncle
went zip-lining on Jamaica
I lounged on Deck 12.
 Such a nice day!
 Grama and I are trying these petal chairs.
What a wonderful way to enjoy a beautiful day!
 The Stroller is "just in case" but since Grama's handy,
I don't need it.
Judah let me wear his Captain's Hat.
 Mommy and I are dancing with the waiter during dinner.
 Cuddle time with Aunt Stacy!
 I'm too short to go on the slide with Judah
 but no matter!
 I love
 getting soaked
by all the water falling from the slides!
 It was SO great being with Daddy and Mommy and Judah!
 With Aunt Sarah ready to go to dinner again.
He's not a real sailor, but has a nice lap to sit on here
on the Grand Cayman.
 We went to this beach in Mexico.
 It's a nice hot day!
 Grama took me for a stroll in the botanical garden
 and Mayan ruins.  A great time for a little nap!
 Take a close look.  Grampa and I have the same toes!
Grama noticed this interesting bit of genetics!
 Enjoying Deck 5 with my dear Aunt Stacy
 and my Grama and Mommy.
 There is plenty of room to run around!
 Who needs
 a club
 to play Mini-Golf?
 Bye! Bye! at the end of a great week at Sea!
