Happy Fourth of July!!

Mommy, Daddy, and I all LOVE the 4th of July.

What better way to start our day than with an awesome parade!

I waited patiently for things to start.

The police cars were first in line. I LOVE to hear sirens!

This float was really cool. These men did an excellent job of

recreating the scene from Iwo Jima.

I was soooooooo excited when I saw this big, beautiful, shiny MACK dumptruck.

I wonder what's next!!

There were TONS of cool sports cars. This was one of my favorites.

God Bless the U.S.A.

More construction trucks....WOO HOO!!

Check out this string band. Mommy LOVES them. Daddy just doesn't get it.

I'm somewhere in between.....

Mommy tells me that this car was in a TV show she used to watch when she was growing up. Do any of you recognize it?

A cool car decorated with colorful balloons......LOVE IT!

This was Mommy's favorite car in her favorite color!

There were TONS of firetrucks---old ones, new ones, LOUD ones!!

This one is from our town....Clementon!

Just about every car threw out candy.

It was amazing!

I was soooo sticky by the time the parade was over! : )

MORE FIRETRUCKS!!!

MORE CANDY!!!!

The parade was about an hour and a half long. By the time it was over, I was exhausted!

Time for sweet dreams of trucks and candy....zzzzzzzzz

My First Time at the Movies! - July 2, 2009

Today was so exciting! Mommy and Daddy took me to see my very first BIG SCREEN MOVIE!

We went to see "UP".

I made Mommy and Daddy VERY proud because I was soooooooo good during the whole movie. Even the ladies sitting in front of us commented on how well-behaved I was.

I can't wait to go back to the movie theater. Maybe next time I'll get some yummy popcorn to munch on during the show.

7.3.09 - Daddy's Birthday Breakfast

Today is a special day for my Daddy....It's his 32nd birthday!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

We met Grandmom and PopPop for breakfast.

They bought Daddy this cool Phillies stuff!

Since we go to this diner all the time, the people there know us pretty well.

The owner had a special piece of cake sent out as a special treat for Daddy!

I helped him blow out the candle!

I love Daddy and Mommy!

Thanks for breakfast Grandmom and PopPop!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!

7.1.09 - HAIRCUT!

We're getting our family pictures soon.

Mommy wanted me to look extra handsome for the pictures, so she took me for a haircut.

Lookin' good!

Hmmm....I think maybe my bangs need a trim.

All done!  Time to brush off any loose hairs!

Beach Day with the Stewarts - June 25, 2009

Today, Mommy, Daddy, and I headed down to Ocean City to visit with some of our

 favorite people....The Stewarts!

We headed straight to the beach....otherwise known as the biggest sandbox ever!!

Cole likes to play in the sand just like me!

My feet are getting so big...just like Daddy's!  Check out my cool tattoo.

Cole found a seashell in the shape of a "C"--Isn't that cool?

Digging big holes is so much fun!

Time for a Boogie Board Break.

After dinner, we headed to the boardwalk. 

I am fascinated by ferris wheels.  Isn't this one pretty?

Cole and I went on the race cars.  It was awesome!

Then we went on the hot air balloons.

Daulton joined in on the hot air balloon fun too!

We love the Stewarts!

June 9, 2009 - BABY SHOWER

Today was a very special day for my Mommy.

Her students and co-workers at school threw her a 

SURPRISE BABY SHOWER!

One of Mommy's students made this cool sign.

Another one of Mommy's students and her Mom made these cool lollipops.

Mommy said that the SNACK BUFFET was PERFECT!

Mommy had a little taste of everything.

Notice she put everything on a BLUE plate,

but then chose a PINK lollipop.  Hmmmm.....

Here's Mommy with her co-teacher, Lisa.

Mommy wanted all of her students to predict whether Baby Russell will be a

BOY or a GIRL.

Here's what she came up with.

Hmmm....looks like PINK is in the lead.

What do YOU think??

A Collection of Big D Moments - May and June 2009

Mommy and I were going through some pictures today.

We decided to present you with a smorgasbord of pictures from recent happenings.

Prepare yourself---you may begin to experience "CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!!!"

This was taken after a trip to our brand new LOCAL Sonic!  Daddy shared his HUGE drink with me...and by "shared" I really meant "gave".  : )

This was taken at IKEA---one of our favorite stores.  Even though I didn't look very happy, I was actually just hammin' in up for the camera.  I was having a ball!!

Our pool is finally opened!!  Here's a pic of me and my kitty cat, Chic, during

 my first swim of the season.

This picture was taken shortly after I came in from swimming.  

Hmmm...I think I was tired.....

This was taken on Gloucester Township Day.  The rides weren't opened yet, so I had lots of time to play!!

Like my haircut??  : )

Here I am at Rita's Water Ice.

I told Mommy I didn't want anything, but as soon as I tasted what she got, 

I made her fork it over!

Here's me playing out back on Father's Day.  

I was keeping an eye on Daddy while he mowed the lawn.

Why Daddy was working on Father's Day I have NO idea..... 

I hope you enjoyed the update!!!  : )
