We just spent a wonderful weekend in Tahoe because my Auntie & Uncle are back! They were in Jordan for the past year, and now they have returned because they missed me so much! And they are making me a cousin...hooray! I showed off all my skills that I acquired in their absence...such as speaking in sentences, going pee pee in the potty, being opinionated about EVERYTHING, and being such a good worker. We enjoyed working at the cabin and going to the beach...and we even celebrated my birthday again!
Dada gave me the most perfect birthday present ever! My very own leaf blower! I just have to be careful to not blow all the bark out of our backyard.
My cousin is in Auntie Aubree's belly!

We just got back from an amazing weekend in Aspen with our friends, the Moxleys.
What a special birthday trip! I had been waiting an agonizing few days once Mama told me that my birthday was coming up. Every day I have been asking for my special presents and special treats. I was rewarded well for my superb patience!
We stayed in a log cabin on the Roaring Fork River and I got dirtier on a daily basis than I have ever been in my life. We played until we dropped every day, and Mama literally had to carry me to bed most nights.
We got to go up to the top of the Mountain in the gondola, where I played in the one remaining patch of snow, climbed on the playground equipment, and even did a bungee jumping thingy. We also got to go on a wagon ride. But my favorite of all was the many hours we spent by the river, throwing in rocks and sticks. I learned all about buoyancy!
For my birthday, Loretta and Eleanor helped make a phenomenal dirt cake, which I preferred to any edible variety. I did celebrate with smores too! I still tell everyone that I'm two years old most of the time, but that's only because two was so cool. I'll be excited about three when I make sure I'll still have as much fun as a big boy!
Go America!
The men just chillin'

My birthday continues this weekend in Tahoe. Uncle Ben & Auntie Aubree are home from Jordan, and I can't wait to see them and show them how big I am since they left a year ago. Mostly, I can't wait to show them all the big sucker fans at Tahoe!
