The St. Louis Zoological Park

This is the Polar Bear. He was walking around and playing in the pool. Bears say, "Raaahhhrrrr!"

This is a Puffin. They live in the same house as the penguins but look sorta like ducks. They can fly but penguins can not.
This is my penguin, St. Louis. He is very soft. I picked him out all by myself. I take him with me everywhere that I go. I like to snuggle St. Louis.
Me and St. Louis are checking out the flood on Lacleed's Landing.

These penguins were outside and they are so stinky! They eat fish.
These penguins are inside and are really fun to watch. One of them splashed me! I watched them for a long time. It is very cold in their house.
This is a Rock Hopper Penguin. They have funny hair.

Daddy's Shoes & The Roberts Mayfair

This is the hotel where we stayed in St. Louis. Daddy had to go to a conference there for Big Brothers Big Sisters. It's called The Roberts Mayfair hotel. It is a historic hotel and they are credited with starting the chocolates on the pillow tradition that many hotels still do.
I am waiting for Daddy to bring our car around.
The Roberts Mayfair has an old Rolls Royce sitting out front.
They use it to shuttle people to and from places.

These are my Daddy's shoes and I am walking around in them in our hotel bathroom.

My Trip To Greenville

In this picture I am sitting in a tree...but don't worry, Mommy is not far off so she can catch me if I slip.
This is Hogue Hall. Mommy & Daddy were supposed to be married on these steps but it rained that day so they got married in the church across the street. This building is 150 years old and has to be torn down and reconstructed now because the bricks are falling apart. Each brick was made my hand by the women who attended the college in the mid 1800's. Daddy is helping to raise the money for the new building.
Me and Mommy are peeking through two trees. Mommy thinks they look like "dancing trees."
Hello!

Art and a Few Pictures

Mommy says she thinks this looks like a humming bird or a mosquito so she took a picture of it. Aren't I a good artist?
I won the costume contest with my dress!
Grape Safety Pops are yummy!

My Can Can Dress

Mommy and Daddy are taking me to Aunt Karen's for this year's Sievers Reunion. It's going to be an Old West theme party this year and I'm going as a Saloon Dancer.
My Maui made me this dress and it has lots of pink ruffles on the underside of the skirt.
My Mommy hasn't made her costume yet but she'd better hurry and figure it out cuz the party is this weekend!
Daddy gets lots of "Bear Kisses" from me!
I like my new dress up dress!

My First Ponytail

Daddy's Birthday @ Crossroads Village & Huckleberry Railroad

These are Daddy's birthday treats. Nana made them. When Daddy was a little boy she would make these for him to take to school on his birthday. She can do the whole zoo! They are very yummy and smash on faces really well but nobody got a picture of me doing that!
On our way in! I'm ready for some fun...I've got my hat and I'm covered in sunscreen so I smell like a coconut.
I'm riding in a train pulled by a steam engine! It's fun!!!
Mommy got in trouble for this picture because she stuck her camera out the window to take it and then the conducter came on the intercom and said, "Please keep all arms & legs inside the train."
Daddy, Mommy, and Me
Uncle Nick, Aunt Lacey, Malachi & Sierra

Nana & Papa with me, Malachi, & Sierra

This is my new baby cousin that is a GIRL just like me! She is sleeping now but Mommy says she'll grow up soon and will play dollies with me.

I got to ride on this big paddle boat. I had fun throwing popcorn into the water for the ducks.

This is me peeking through the bars of the upper deck on the boat.

Books and Backyards

I love to sit and read books with my daddy.
Mommy said I could help get the garden ready to plant.
I think I'll dig right here.

Jammies & a Hat

Up for an early morning drive...
I can be your style guru.

2008 Bowl For Kids' Sake

On the way to BFKS I had to stop to kiss the flowers in my front yard.
This red one needed a kiss too.
Daddy helps me to bowl for the first time. This is fun!
This is our BFKS team. Mommy got the LOW score!
These are my favorite snack. I LOVE THEM!!!
