My Birthday: The One Day Each Year When It's All About Me!!!

Hi Everybody!

Sorry it's been a while since my last post. The summer has been way too busy to keep up. Well, I made another trip to Wisconsin. We spent a few days with mommy's side of the family and then the rest of the week we were with daddy's side of the family. It was so much fun. I made another trip to my grandpa's farm to see the baby cows, and this time I got to sit on the tractor and see his puppies. Here's me petting one of the puppies when it was three and a half weeks old.

Auntie Lacey bought us a very cool swimming pool (notice the monkeys climbing the tree)! I got some pool time in with my sister and cousins.

And now for the main event of the weekend: MY BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!

I got to open my presents. This is me opening my Dora the Explorer backpack!

Avery even joined the party - she had fun chewing on my party hats!

And sticking with the Dora theme, check out my fabulous cake!

In case you have forgotten, this day was all about me, so look how excited I was when everyone was singing "Happy Birthday Dear Addy!"

Here are me and my cousins enjoying the delicious cake. Notice in picture number two how I eat my cake very lady-like; meanwhile (I won't mention names) someone is shoving the cake in like he hasn't eaten in weeks!

Really, who needs plates when you can just dig right in. Yummy!

Ok, I fibbed a little. This day wasn't entirely all about me; I was kind enough to share it with Grandma. After all, how often does one meet the half century mark. The whole family got together to celebrate.

It was long day with lots of eating and celebrating, so what better way to end it than a bath with my cousins!

That's all I have for now. I'll try to keep the time in between posts a little shorter next time, but I'm not making any promises!

Love, Addy
