Me and my Cousin

I got to spend the weekend with my cuz! Isn't he the cutest baby you've ever seen!

Getting all dressed up for a wedding

This is my Mommy and me. We are getting ready to go to Meg and Jeremy's wedding reception. Below you will see some of my other family that came too.
I found a couple of kids to play with and if we weren't pushing each other down, we were having a good time.

This is my Grandma Gladys telling me to smile for the camera. I am thinking about eating her necklace.

This is my Uncle Souliyahn and my cousin Silo. And yes, I now can say "Uncle Souliyahn".

This is my Auntie Tia and Cousin Silo.

WELCOME TO SUNNY ARIZONA!

Hi! Me and my Mommy are visiting my Grandpa Don and my Grandma Jan. I had a great time and was happy to leave our below zero weather back in Duluth. We spent a lot of time outside to soak in the rays but we had to be inside every once in a while to watch the Olympics. When Grandma asked me "Where is your Daddy?" I said, "Torino, outside playing." When Daddy calls me, I always ask him, "Are you on a plane, Daddy?" Mom says, "I think you really want him to come home. Don't you sweetie."

I spent a lot of time in my stroller. On a walk with Grandpa I just couldn't get 'Jingle Bells' out of my head. I was making all the older people laugh as we strolled on by.

I had lots of fun picking oranges in Grandpa and Grandma's backyard.

Here we are at the Phoenix Zoo! It's definitely bigger than the Duluth Zoo.

I saw lots of animals! My favorites were the Giraffes, the Lion, the Humming bird and the Baboons.

This was really my favorite part of the Zoo. I kept my Mommy busy because sometimes I would pick up cigarette butts instead of sticks. It's just so much fun to keep my Mommy on her toes, quite funny to watch too.

I am holding Grandma Jan's baby. I told my Mommy to take a picture, that is why I am sitting so still. Later, I had to give my baby a Time Out in this very same spot for pushing me. I said to her, "You stay right there. You have a Time Out for pushing me!" (Apparently Lussi has experienced a few herself lately.)

While in Arizona I found a huge Honey Pot for my Pooh Bear. Mommy wouldn't let me bring it home though!

Here we are at Superstition Mountain. Apparently back in the late 1800's this was the site of an old mining town where millions of dollars worth of gold was extracted. The rumor is that hundreds of people have disappeared near Superstition Mountain while searching for gold. Scary! I want to go home Mommy.

After seeing Superstition Mountain, we drove to Canyon Lake where we had a picnic. As you can see by our jackets it was a little chilly by the lake. Grandma is trying to feed me the rest of her bread, but I was thinking about going for a swim.

I love swimming! I got really annoyed with my Mommy because she insisted on holding on to me the whole time and I wanted to go all by myself! I liked putting my face in, kicking on my back and jumping off the side. The water was warm like my bath.

Grandpa drove me around in his golf cart to see the ducks and the two black swans and to the swimming pool! This was one of my favorite things about the trip.

By the end of the trip I became very good at driving as you can see.

Group trip to the Zoo.

Graham and I are looking at a snow leopard chase its tail. I want a tail!

Thank you for coming to the zoo with me. This is the last exhibit, best known as Trouble the Grizzly Bear from Alaska.
