Painting Pagan Eggs

Before Easter I painted some eggs. Usually I do this with my Daddy but this year someone else helped.

My Nana painted eggs with me...her egg had a cross on it--so it was not so pagan as mine with faces on them.

We had a lot of fun together.

We laughed about a few things...

I giggled about many more things...

I never looked at the camera for my Mommy--I was having too much fun.

Picnic and Hike

Sometimes we picnic. I love eating outside.
I think Daddy must have been really hungry.

We started walking uphill and I started collecting sticks...

My Daddy would not let me ride in the pack on his back with my sticks--so I had to leave them behind.

We went by an area where there were piles of rocks.

When we got past the rocks we had a lovely view of the surrounding mountains.

My Daddy got tired of carrying me and Mommy wanting us to stop so she could take pictures.

At some point we stopped and I found some rocks to throw.

I planned on taking these rocks home but Daddy would not carry me and the rocks in the pack.

The views seemed much better on the way down.

Before we got in the car--my Mommy and I posed for a picture and "bear" pushed her way between us I think she wanted to be in the picture too.

Orange isThree!

I went to a party for Oren a few weeks ago--he is three just like me.

His Cousin Carter was there to celebrate Oren's big day.

I helped Oren blow out the candles on his cake.

We had tunnel races...all of our eyes were red--now our eyes just look strange.

Jumping with a tunnel is harder than it looks.

Daddy and I spent some time posing for the cameras.

Boy Scout Tree Trail

After Cousin Drew came to visit my Daddy revealed that he had never been to the end of the Boy Scout Tree Trail. So here we are in a not so great picture at the beginning of the trail--my Mommy tried to get it so you could see our faces but the sun is too strong.

Here is almost the same shot of us in the sunbeam...you can kind of see how big the trees are and how small we are in comparison.

I walked a lot of the way myself and I did not collect all of the sticks I wanted to bring home.

There were big trees in on the trail we had to climb over to finish the trail.

At the end of the marvelous trail is a waterfall...it was beautiful.

Mommy brought us some food to eat when we got to eat by the waterfall.

Here is a picture of me, my Mommy and a dog that suspiciously looks like our dog.

In all honesty--most of the way Daddy carried me in the JEO pack...I have a strong and wonderful Daddy.

I love big trees and you (Hilary and Charles) should come and see the trees for yourself.

Nana and Papa's house

Sometimes my Mommy takes me to visit my Nana and Papa.
They have great wind chimes in the backyard

I like to play on the patio.

There are also piles of dirt to play on.

Here I am with the basket of books. My Daddy said he looked at these books when he was a little guy.

This is Doby... He does not really like me.

This is the closest Doby has ever let me get to him. Maybe we can be friends.

Sunday Afternoon

Sometimes after church we go on walks.
I like to sit on these stairs.

I also like to sit on these stairs.

Here is a stick I picked up on our walk...I sure do love sticks.

I love when the ground is wet enough to use sticks for digging.

Here is a different sign which gives me hope...but what does temporarily mean to the posters of the sign...
to me it means a day....

Notice that the purple play ground equipment all put together...when will I get to see if they put it together properly?

Nardin Nomads

My cousin Drew came to visit and brought some friends.
In this picture: Colby, Issac, me, Cousin Drew, Sean, Matt.

In this picture--I got to hold the very important football. They spent two nights at our house and I had to sleep in my crib...

Wichita

In Wichita--we went to Aunt Mary Ann's house...my cousin's were red heads--not really like me because their hair is really red.
(Unfortunately my Mommy did not take many pictures...yes above is a link to Aunt Margaret's blog again.)

In the backyard is a trampoline--my Daddy and I got to play on it.

The hotel we stayed at had bronze sculptures everywhere...
with no no climbing signs.
(Aunt Margaret got a picture of this too.)

My Aunt's, Mommy, Anna and I tried to pose on the couch...my Mommy and I could not find the right camera.

Pictured from the left to right: me, Mommy, Aunt Linda, Aunt Margaret, Anna, Aunt Mary Ann.

Nardin

These are my older cousins Lainey and Drew... along with me and Anna of course...My Aunt Margaret has a better picture.

My cousin Lainey did a puzzle with Anna and I.
(Yes Lainey does look good in orange doesn't she?)

My cousin Spencer has a trap set--I don't know that my use was authorized.

Aunt Margaret had this fun toy...kind of a lego dollhouse...not made by lego.
