Play Date With The Gills

Tonight the Gill family came to visit. We had lots of fun playing with my toys, but even more fun when we got to go to the park. Here's some of my favorite picts from their visit.

Look at my concentration going down the slide...maybe someday that will be the same face you see while I'm at the free throw line with the game winning shot on the line.

So maybe I should forget basketball and go into gymnastics with these balancing skills.

Cutting The Grass

Helping Dad mow the yard has always been one of my favorite things to do outside, but now it's even more fun when Magic chases me and my lawnmower.

Driving Lessons

One of Dad's favorite toys as a kid was his "dribie," which was a pretend steering wheel. I have a similar John Deere version of the toy that Dad was showing me how to use. I'm thinking he hopes I'll like this better than the real thing, as recently I like to sneak into the garage and jump in Mom & Dad's car and pretend I'm driving. They have now decided they have to lock the cars and put the keys on the roof.

Here's my Magic pict for the day...can you believe how big he has gotten.

Tug-O-War

Even though Mom and Dad keep telling me that I'm teaching Magic bad habits, one of my new favorite things to do is play tug-o-war with him. It's lots of fun, plus I know a thing or two about teething and I think it feels good on his teeth, which he already has been to loose.

Arts & Crafts With Grandma

While Dad was away in California for work, Grandma Fernholz decided to come and visit. As if that wasn't enough fun, Cousin Grace also decided to spent the night with us. Here are a few picts of us getting creative with playdough.

Here's a pict of Grandma showing me how to roll my very own playdough ball...I think I still need a little practice.

Play Ball!

Today was opening day at the new MN Twins ballpark. My dad thought it would be a great idea to take Grandpa Johnson and me to the game....so the 3 of us got to spend the day together. Granted I won't remember the day, but it will be neat to say someday that I got to attend the open day game @ Target Field.

Here's my pict of Dad and Magic for the day...

The Newest Addition....Magic Johnson

Despite Mom & Dad's normally anal tendencies, I must have really made an impact at Grandma & Grandpa's house last weekend with Buddy...as they decided to get me my very own puppy. I am happy to introduce you to my brother, Magic. Mom and Dad have been talking about getting a chocolate lab for the last couple of years, but they finally decided there would never be a perfect time to take the plunge. I am already busy following him around and trying to get him to play fetch....guess I probably have to wait a bit longer for that.
