Lots of Excitement

Daddy and Mommy took me, Arabella, and Miss Debbie to Crossroads Village and Huckleberry Railroad. While we were there I rode the Genesee Belle River Boat and the train, which was pulled by a real steam engine. The engineer even let me sit in the engine and in the engineer's chair.
Mommy and Arabella with me in the caboose.

Bella fell asleep on the train...

I'm looking out of the coach at the sights passing me by on the train.

Me and Mommy and Arabella ride the train.

The engineer let me stand on the train for this picture! It's a BIG train...

Me and the engineer peek out of the window.

I'm standing between the coal tender and the engine on the steam train that the Huckleberry Railroad uses...

Arabella on the Genesee Belle

I learned to blow through my Thomas Whistle. It's a really neat toy!

Our first swim of the season and Arabella's first ever! That's Baby Tracy in the background.

Our new baby bushes. They are boxwoods. I like them much better than the old big ones. Mommy and Daddy let me help plant them.

Another house pic. They neighbors have all commented on how nice it looks.

Arabella eating her toes again.

She's so silly...

Goin' to Grampa & Maui's

Here's the Rockhopper penguin Arabella wanted to take home. Maui bought her a stufftie one.

A pretty flower.

Elephant toes...they are big!

Does Rockhopper penguin taste good Arabella?

A dainty tulip.

Me and Arabella slept right through the roadside attraction and nobody saved us any frozen custard.

Arabella in her Grandma Lou glasses.

Here I am in my new Lady t-shirt that Maui and Grampa made for me.

Here's mommy and daddy at Ted Drewe's having lots of yummy frozen custard. Did you ever see two such greedy two-fisted frozen custard eaters. I heard them say it was as good as Alton Brown said.
Three generations pretend to be elephants.

We are SO cute!

Arabella got a bath and is in my Wooly Elephant towel.
I love my trains!
I like to give my sitster kisses.
When I was a baby, I played in this same chair. Now, Arabella gets to use it.
She has such a cute little smile!
Happy Face...
Big eyes!
Love from me to you
Sleepy little girl
Sweet little face

Zehnder's Snowfest 2009

This was called "Winter Forest" but it looks more like a Frank Lloyd Wright vase to us.
The trees again
I don't know what this turned out to be but it's pretty cool looking so far.

Hagan Excavation had this carved. Ainsley likes the tractor!
