The world’s cutest penguin EVER!!

Screaming very loudly!!

Packed and ready to go trick-or-treating.

Come on Momma

A crazy penguin on the loose . . .

Running crazy through the neighbors yard. Who needs sidewalks?

Some of the neighbors are worried that this crazy penguin is rabid!!

Lets go over there next!!

I had fun but I am getting tired.

Daddy lets go inside.

Ready for bed, but man, I am thirsty. I need a big cup of ice water.

For all those who may be wondering how I made out this year with candy, well I got none. It seems I am far more interested in running up and down the street, climbing curbs, screaming and playing with bushes than I am in candy.

Happy Birthday Grampa. I love you so much that I am gonna help you eat all of that cake!!

Ready for the next bite!!

Who is that little ham in the middle?

My great grandpa Papa and Mimi

Bibs and Pops

Reading books with Gramma

Now that Grampa’s birthday is over, I gotta get ready for Halloween.

My serious face . . .  and my happy face.

It all starts with breakfast- my favorite meal of the day because I wake up very hungry.

Who me? I am innocent, whatever it was.

I love to play with Momma’s keys!!

Watching football with Daddy . . .

all those games wear me out.

Happy 7th birthday to my brother Sammy!!

Just sitting in the corner, minding my own business, and maybe getting ready to take all the DVDs out of the entertainment center. I usually feel the need to do that atleast once a day.

Just playing with some of the toys
I got for my first birthday.

Getting so big . . .

I always ride in the car with my hands behind my head. My momma loves this about me, my added character at only 14 mos.

I love to play at the park, especially climbing up the slides. I don’t so much care to go down them though.

Such a ham our little guy- he loves the attention that comes with getting your picture taken.

Here are some of his photos from Sears Portrait.

My first haircut- who knew how I would behave?? Even I myself wasn’t sure.

First I climbed into Daddy’s lap. I gave my haircut lady a quick smile to get her on my “good side.” I gotta make sure she is looking out for me and gives me a good haircut.

Then I hold real still, I mean she is holding a pair of scissors.

I tell her a little of the sides and back, but please leave the top alone!!

My first haircut went really well. In Dad’s lap, smiling at Mom with her camera, I could do this again.

I had two 1st birthday parties:

One in Huntsville and one in Hallettsville. Thank you everyone for coming to my party and for all of my gifts!! I had a great birthday week.

My first vacation was with Mom, Gramma, Aunt Katie and Crissy to visit family in Utah and Idaho. I went to the airport and had my first plane ride . . .

Nothing better than a little caffeine to jump start me for a 3 1/2 hr plane ride.

When we got to Salt Lake City, we drove up to my Uncle Ted and Aunt Jane’s cabin in Southern Idaho.

I got to see the largest fish ever to exist in a pond, I think it is because my Uncle Ted keeps feeding them dog food. My cousin Crissy caught one using a net.

My Uncle Ted taught me a lot about pitching.

Come on Mom, quit taking pictures and feed me!!

Then we went back to South Jordan Utah and I got to meet my Uncle Wally and Aunt Pauline’s family. I have lots of cousins, and Grace is closest to me in age. She is a little bit older, but I am a little bit bigger.

Aunt Katie, Aunt Pauline, Gramma, Parker, Me, Mom, Grace, Teddy, Hope and Crazy Uncle Wally (come on Uncle Wally, put the basketball down and grab a baseball).

Then we went to my cousins Kenny, Tammy, and Luke’s house way up in the mountains overlooking Salt Lake City and Provo.

Here is a picture of me and a bunch of women in my family: Mom, Gabby, Aunt Jane, Me, Gramma, Aunt Katie and Crissy.

Here is me with the guys: Uncle Ted, Uncle Ken, Luke, Kenny and Me

And me and with my boy cousins Luke and Cade.

And another family picture: Kenny, Stacy, Tammy, Luke, Gramma, Cade, Aunt Peggy, Uncle Ken, Crissy, Austin, Mom, Me and Aunt Katie.

A quick picture with Gramma and Mom . . .

A final look at the beautiful mountains, then it is back home to the greatest state in the country: TEXAS!!

Ahhhh! Home sweet home (even if it is 104 outside).

Thanks to everyone for a wonderful vacation, it was great meeting everyone. And for those who are concerned- I have slept much better once I got home!!

If I hear music, I just gotta dance!!

A busy weekend indeed!!

I discovered that I love to stand up in the tub.

My grandparents from Hallettsville came to see. Granddad Albert pushed me in the swing until I fell asleep.

It took a while . . .

We had a good visit. I hope I didn’t send them home too tired.

Then I got to go “swimming” in my pool. It was great fun, except that my brothers (the dog ones) bark loud and think that my pool is their big water bowl.

I stole the ball from Jackson . . .

but I threw it back to him.

Then it is back to my swing to dry off.
