Wilson's Apple Orchard

We had a great time at the apple orchard this year! I picked and ate a dozen apples I think! Daddy even held me up to the tree so that I could reach the good apples way up top! Mommy was so excited to get some of the apples as she has been craving them all year. She is going to make some applesauce she said. Yummy!!

Hawkeye Game

Daddy took me to my first Hawkeye Football game. As a bonus, we rode the "Hawkeye Express" train to the game and it was a blast. It rained most of the game, but Daddy and I still had a good time. My favorite part was cheering for the Hawkeyes, only instead of saying "Go Hawks", I said "Go Big Red". Hopefully nobody noticed!

3rd Birthday

The weekend before my third birthday was spent in Des Moines, Iowa. We met Nana, Papa, Uncle Mitch, Namma, Grandpa and Sue, and Tierra and Zander at a hotel. We went swimming and had pizza. My friend Graham and his parents came over to the hotel and helped me celebrate too. I wanted some new Toy Story toys for my birthday and everybody blessed me with things that I wanted. Mommy's friend, Ginny, made me some awesome "Batman" cupcakes. I was so happy.

On my birthday, Mommy and Daddy both took the day off of work to share the day with me. We went to Chuckie Cheese for lunch. I got to ride on a bunch of rides and had pizza. We had a great day just hanging out!

Summer Update

This has been a busy summer. I played outside a lot this summer and also got to go on some fun trips. I also took my first set of swimming lessons. They were fun. I went to a big swimming pool and Daddy went with me. We traveled to St. Louis with our friends, the Walkers. While in St. Louis, I went swimming and we went to the zoo. We also went to Kansas City to see our friends, the Carters and the O'Hares. They both have new babies so I got a chance to get some practice in holding babies before my new sister comes. In August, we went back to Lincoln to watch Uncle Mitch in the State Special Olympics bowling. He did awesome! He got a silver (way to go, Mitch)!!

The rest of the summer was spent going to the park, playing in my back yard, learning to ride my bike (with training wheels), and swimming at Lake McBride. It was fun.
