i am 3.5!

mom and dad say that today is my three and a half birthday. i am not sure what that means, exactly, but i do know that you do not really get presents. bummer.

last week we went to indiana, and it was a good time! i acted like megaman a whole lot, and i played with some girls, and i played in a creek, and i rode in the car for a looooooooong time. elisabeth hates the car, but i do not mind it. you get to read books and play with toys and eat a lot of mcdonalds. you can pretend like you are moe, while dad is curly and elisabeth is shemp, and mom is larry. mom and betty do not play along very well, though. you can listen to strongbad and brak on the radio, and also some band called BNL. you can also draw on the door of the car with a marker, but only if you really just want to get in trouble.

here are some pictures! i really liked throwing rocks in the creek, next to the waterfall. i was not real keen on getting the water on my head, though, so i was pretty careful. in the chair, i am being megaman. oh, and elisabeth hates the grass.

my cousins

here are the pictures i promised of my cousins. they are a ton of fun. this past time i was there, we did all kinds of fun stuff. like hit each other with balloons. and eat our cheese like puppies!

elisabeth did more tame things, like look at a big ball, and bite my aunt keri.
again, i was worn out. balloons do not make very good pillows, but they will do if there is nothing else to lay your head on.

look! it's that peanut guy!

he is on our peanut jar.

he maked all those peanuts!

it was really nice to give us peanuts.

they are really brown.



mom says i should be in commercials, with product promotions like that. i agree.

my cousin becky

she cracks me up. we considered playing some scrabble but decided it was more fun to drink juice with a flourish.

i get to see all my cousins again this weekend for rachel's birthday! i am pretty excited and will be sure to post pictures.

giant cheeks

they run in my family. amber took this picture of me when i was little. people talk about elisabeth and her big cheeks, but i had big cheeks first! and also an eye infection, but that is not what you are supposed to be looking at.
