Welcome Elizabeth Mae Poole!

Hi everyone! Check out my new sister Izzy. She is soooo sweet and I was so happy to have her and Mommy home from the hospital on Saturday. They were there when I woke up from my nap and I was THRILLED to have them back. It was nice to have a little break and spend some quality time with Mimi but I was ready to have mom and Baby Izzy home again. She was born on 10/5/11 at 8:03am and weighed 6lbs, 4oz. She was almost a whole pound heavier than I was!! She is eating great and sleeping a lot and we are all working on figuring out how to make all of our schedules work together. I have been spending a lot of extra time with Daddy and thank God Mimi is here to help!! I love to kiss her and point out her parts (eyes, ears, hat, etc) to mom and dad. I love her and hope you get to meet her soon! Here are some photos for you.

Aaaaaaand We're Back!

So sorry for the massive lapse in posts! Mom's 6year old Dell finally bit the dust and it took her and Dad FOREVER to get a new laptop fired up and in the loop. I promise to get you guys back up to date as soon as possible.

Daddy's Boy

Ummmmm.... Dad made some chocolate cake and I have been helping him with it. Yummmmmmmmmmmmm

Walks to the wa-wa

Every day (usually twice) we take a walk to check out the wa-wa (Mom calls it the river) and throw rocks in. The river has gotten huge with all of the snow we had over the winter and the warm weather this summer. Mom and Dad don't let me get too close, but as long as I can toss rocks in I am happy! Here are a couple of pics

Cars 2

My favorite movie in the world is Cars! They decided it would be cool to take me to Cars 2 to see my first movie. I loved it and sat through the whole thing with eyes wide open! HOW COOL! Here we are after the show

Happy Independence Day!

Well, it's 4th of July and I had no idea how much fun stuff there is to do on this day! We have been down and out with a tummy bug and it feels like we haven't been out of the house in WEEKS (Mom said it is really just DAYS, but still...) We walked into town and checked out the parade which I officially declared 'cooooool'. I was mostly just interested in the fire trucks that were honking horns, turning on sirens and shooting wa-wa into the crowd (Thankfully!! it was HOT!). Mom was nervous that I wouldn't like the sirens since they were soooo loud but I just kept saying "woo-woo! woo-woo!" and clapping.
I did like the bikes and other floats, too. There was a lot of flag waiving, candy throwning, dancing and general 4th of July celebrations. Whew! I need a nap!

I love being outside

It has been sooooo beautiful now that summer has decided to show up! All I want to do is go outside and play: throw rocks in the river, ride my bike, hike the doggies, play in the sandbox or just play with my cars. Mom thought these pictures were cute!
