More funnies...

Marlie likes to try and hover around the dining table when we eat. Mom and Dad try to keep an eye on her and make her go lay down when she does it. Well I've been helping in out with that job for awhile but the other morning I was eating breakfast and Marlie was begging at my chair. I said, "MARLIE OUT!" Mom came to help out and said, "Marlie, go lay down." As Marlie started to walk over to her bed I said, "Keep movin'!" That made Mom giggle.

What a weekend!

I had such a fun but busy weekend! It started on Friday morning, Mom and I got up, got ready and were on the road by 9:30 to meet Grandpa Cota so I could spend the day with him. We had a lot of fun. He showed me the huge pink elephant in Marquette. I guess it's been there a very long time. When we got back to his and Grandma's house we played with toys. They have some wood blocks I used as bowling pins and bowled for quite awhile.

That evening Mom came and picked me up and we headed out to meet Granmda Dahlstrom and Kari so I could spend the evening with them at Peggy's house while Mom went to watch Bailey in a play. Mom came to Peggy's later and we all spent the night there. Saturday we had cinnamon rolls. They were so yummy. When Mom first asked if I wanted one she told me, "they are kind of like cake". Well if it's like cake count me in! I LOVED them! Later I got to have actual cake too for Kari's baby shower. I sat with Great-Grandma Dahlstrom while I ate my cake. After I ate my piece of cake I got down off my chair and said, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOMMY!" :)

During the gift opening I was kind of trying to steal the show with my Wheel of Fortune bit. There was a gift bag that said, "BABY" and I started in on the whole, "is there B? Yes there's one B. Ding. I buy a vowel? An "A"..... etc. Everyone thought I was pretty funny. I like to make people laugh. :)

During the shower I had fun playing with Kaylee, Julia and some of my other cousins. Kaylee and I got to drive a JD Gator around. It was fun, but I thought it was a little bumpy.

After the Baby Shower Mom and I loaded up and headed back to Harpers. I needed a nap before the big St. Patrick's Day party and Grandpa and Grandma Cota's house. I took my nap and when I woke Granny made me mac and cheese and gave me some peas and oranges. When I got up in my chair at the table I said, "No. Pancakes." (Granny always makes pancakes for me when I'm at her house). Mommy explained I would have mac and cheese for dinner and Granny would make pancakes for breakfast. So I went ahead and ate my dinner.

After Mom and I were at the St. Patrick's party for about an hour I came out from the bedroom where I was playing and said to Mom, "I'm ready". Mom thought that was pretty funny. She got my coat on and took me back to Granny's. When Mom told Granny what I has said she laughed too. Well right after Mom left to go back to the party it was very clear to Granny why I was "ready" to leave. I hopped up in my chair at the table, put my hands in the air and said to Granny, "PANCAKES?!" So Granny made me pancakes and I gobbled down two of them. :)

Sunday Mom and I got up and went and visited my Great-Grandpa and Grandma Cota and then my Great-Grandpa and Grandma Jones before we headed back for home.

It was a fun and tiring weekend. I got to see so many people this trip!

Here a couple more Gator pics:

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Mom and I went to the Cedar Rapids St. Patrick's Day parade. There were so many people dressed in green! Mom's friend Kelli works downtown at the Gazette so she met us for a little bit. She and Mom mostly chatted while I sat on Mom's shoulders and watched the parade. I saw puppies, one was colored green, and a HUGE duck, a dump truck and some big snakes. I had fun watching and listening to the music. We didn't stay for the entire parade because Mom wanted to get out of the parking ramp and out of downtown before everyone else was leaving. Fun day!

Funny

Just a list of some of my 'funnies' lately.

Mom and I went to the park a couple days ago. It was our first trip this spring. I was so excited to try out the slides and swings. There are two slides at the park we go to. I told mom one was "VERY slidey". The twisty slide though, I told her, "That was is not very slidey. It's sticky". Then I went on the swings. Mom was pushing me pretty high and I said, "It's very swingy!" We had played almost an hour and Mom said she'd give me 5 more pushes on the swing then when the swing stopped I could slide one more time and then we had to leave. So as my swing was slowing down Mom asked, "Is that fun?" and I said, "It's very slowy." Mommy giggled. :)

Marlie will whine or whimper a little, and I say, "Mars, what's the problem?"

Buzzed...

Ugh! Mom finally let my hair grow out some and was able to kind of style it cute and stuff. She knew it was getting a little long and needed to be trimmed. She was going to wait and have her friend Emily cut it but she got impatient and thought she'd just use the #4 guide on the trimmer and clean it up - that shouldn't take too much off, right? WRONG! She made me look so goofy. *Sigh* I need to get working on growing my hair out again. Thanks a lot, MOM!
