Mommy's Going Away Party

Mommy only has one more week left at work which I know she is sad about. Dr. Paul and the girls threw her a going away party last weekend at Macaroni Grill and Daddy went with her to say goodbye to everyone. I can't believe Mommy has worked at Monument longer than I've even been born! It's crazy! She tells me she's going to miss the people she works with and especially the animals she gets to take care of, but hopes she can find an even better clinic to work at in Illinois when she's ready again.

We have packed up just about everything we can. Everything else that's still out is stuff we still use on a daily basis so we can't really do anything about that. I'm super excited for Gramma and Grandpa to come out (even though I won't even get to see Grandpa until we're back in Chicago). Mommy says I'll have a new movie to watch on the plane ride home if I'm a good boy!

Birthday Party

This weekend we went to Logen's 4th birthday party. Logen is Miss Brielle's son, and he used to go to daycare with me at Miss Brandi's house. It was a very nice day out for the party, which was outside. We jumped on the trampoline, rode in PowerWheels, saw the horses and goats and chickens, and ate pizza and cake! It was a lot of fun. Here are some pictures from the party!

Painting Pop's Houses!

Pops made me some awesome houses for my wooden train set for Christmas and we finally got around to painting all of them last week. They look so cool! Mommy and Daddy helped me set up and got the paint ready, but I did all the tough work by myself! I made Dee's Diner, Charlie's Chowhouse, Sara's Sweets (a fudge and ice cream shoppe), Dr. T's Pet Hospital, and Jeremy's Garage. Pop's actually named the garage for me, and that is by far my favorite. I love putting my Matchbox cars in the little garage openings and parking lines of them along the outside.

Thanks Pops!

Snakes and Lizards!

Mommy took Jaxson and I to the zoo last Thursday. It was a beautiful day out and the sun was shining. I got to walk instead of sitting in the stroller and Mommy had to practically run to keep up with me! Because it was so nice out, all the animals were out in their exhibits and I wanted to see all of them! And we did, too! My favorites of the day were the otters playing in the water, the birds flying over me in the aviary, and the lizard and snake we saw in the reptile house. Enjoy the pictures!

I found a really neat bench that looked like a turtle shell!
