Moving Brandy to Durham

We helped our friends Brandy and Jim move from Rocklin to Durham this weekend. While Mommy and Daddy were helping, they had to contain me in my pack 'n' play. I'm not so used to being in it, so I got a tiny bit upset. Mommy hung out with me most of the time. I made Mommy and Daddy laugh by pressing my face against the netting. Here I am playing with Daddy.


Here Daddy and Jim are taking the fridge through the small doorway. Woops... a few dings left behind. Lynette and Brandy were able to find the humor in it.

Once we got to Durham, I stayed up for a while and played with Abbey and Mason's toys. They were staying at their grandparents for the move. It was a long day and I crashed pretty good. Moving sure is tiring!

BBQ Time

My friends Colton, Redding Riley, and Landon (Tummy Baby) came over for a tri-tip BBQ. It was super yummy! I wish there was more time for 'Qing with our friends. We had tons of fun crawling around while our Mommies were chatting and the Daddies played horseshoes. Early in the evening, I got a smooch from Riley. Hubba hubba!!

Play Ball!

I've been keeping myself, Mommy and Daddy entertained by throwing my balls around. My favorite ball is my Orange ball. I know it by name and go get it when Mommy asks "Where is your Ball?" Daddy and Gramma Linda think I am so good at throwing the ball because I saw Daddy throwing footballs and softballs in the air. He's been doing this since I came home from the hospital... maybe even before my time!

Hike to Whiskeytown Falls

We left the house around 8:30am to go hike the new Whiskeytown Falls. We were really excited for the adventure.

We took a before picture of me, Daddy and Tarod. This was my first hike in my new carrier... and it was FUN!

Mommy and Tarod at their first water break. The uphill trek was difficult... but it was worth it once we got to our prize destination.

This picture doesn't do the steep terrain justice. Mommy's calves were burning. I'm not so sure that Fozzie would have made this one.

Pretty view of the creek along the way.

Here is Whiskeytown Falls - so refreshing and beautiful.

Yeah! We made it!

Oh yeah! Uh huh!

I love riding in the backpack.

We hiked up a narrow path to the end. We couldn't see the top of the falls. They seemed neverending.

Thanks for bringing me here, Daddy and Mommy.

Another shot of the Falls before heading home.

Snoozer baby managed to stay awake the entire way to the falls. Now it's relaxin' time on the way back.

Morgan Turns 1!!!

Today I went to my friend Morgan's birthday party. He is now one year old. His party was a lot of fun. First, we played with these huge baloons. They were so neat! Morgan liked them so much that when it came time to open his presents from all of his friends, he wanted to keep playing with the baloons. His mommy, Beth, helped him open his gifts. He got some clothes and a ton of toys. Mommy tried to get pictures of us playing together, but we gave her a hard time. Whenever we saw the camera coming, we scattered. It was funny.

Morgan is nearly walking now. He stood by himself at the coffee table. I can't wait to be like Morgan one day. He gave me a cool party favor! It is a light up frog and I love to bite it's legs.

Morgan had his own birthday cake. Everyone sang 'Happy Birthday' to him while he 'kicked back'. He had a Special #1 candle to blow out. Instead of blowing it out, he decided to pinch the flame. I think he thought about crying, but then realized he's a big boy now. All the big people got a kick out of his courage. Morgan was a little unsure about the cake at first. He started eating it slowly. To ensure a nice neat time, Morgan's daddy, Brian, covered the cake with Hershey's syrup. Yummy. He made a little bit of a mess and had to excuse himself for a bath.

I Want My Baby Back Ribs

This is the first time we shared real meat (vs. the pureed stuff) with Dub-J. He licked the bone clean. We had a great time watching him and playing along. He really enjoyed sharing his bone with Mommy. Fozzie was so jealous!!! Waylon is going to be a great Q'er someday... just like Daddy.

Visit with Cousin Tarod from Colorado

Waylon loves to be around Tarod. Tarod can makes him smile instantly!

Stretching out in my Crib

Here I am with my pals, Avery I (who I got from Auntie Teresa) and Avery II.

Lynette & James got Married!

Daddy, Mommy and I went to Lynette's wedding to James. It was fun to see Tina and Brandy, Mommy's school friends. I tried, but I wasn't able to last all night. Congrats to the Berrys!
