Quiet Week

Wow - it has been a fairly quiet week here in my world. Mommy finished the fundraiser last week so this week she had to get back to work as normal. School was fun this week as we learned about rain. I got to play in the water and color an umbrella, raincoat and rain boots! I earned lots of coins this week becuase I have been going to sleep in my own bed. I almost have enough coins for another surprise!!! The highlight of my week was visiting Papa at school on Wednesday and then going to the farm for a while. Oh yes - and the most exciting part of all was my first official ride in the red Corvette. Boy was that fun. Mommy has a couple of pictures that she will have to post later. You've never seen 2 more handsome dudes! Hope you had as goo of a week as I did.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! This morning mommy explained to me that today is Easter. She told me that on Easter we celebrate Jesus. I love Jesus and I know that He loves me too! Then mommy said we have all done bad things like disobeying and hitting or taking toys away. She told me that becuase of these bad things Jesus had to die. I don't really know what "die" means though. Mommy told me that when Jesus died for me he took away the bad things that I have done. I don't really understand that but it was very nice of Jesus to take away the bad stuff. She also told me that Jesus now lives in heaven with God. A lot of this I don't understand or know what it means; but I do know this - Jesus loves me and you and that's reason enough to celebrate!!!

Happy Easter!

Who needs Rachel Ray!

I hear that Rachel Ray is all the rage making 30 minute meals (mommy really likes to watch her!). But who needs a boring old 30 minute meal without any fun. Let me show you how it's done - Landry's 30 minute meal and fun!!!!

Step 1 - Have mommy hardboil some eggs while you sit on the counter and watch. (Approx. 12 minutes)

Step 2 - While the eggs are boiling prepare the work area.

Step 3 - After the eggs have cooled in some ice water dye them pretty colors.

Step 4 - After they all done (and barely dry) have a blast cracking and peeling them

Step 5 - Egg Salad for Dinner!

How's that for a 30 minute meal and fun all in one!!!! I promise - 30 minutes is all it takes - and it was a blast!!!!

New Member in the Family

I have a new "cousin" - actually 2! Yesterday I got to meet my new cousins out at the farm. There are 2 new baby cows and they are very cute! One is a little over a week old and the other is only a few days old. I had such a great time seeing these new babies for the first time. It was also fun to play in the fields (without the cows!). The farm is so pretty this time of year. THere are thousands of purple flowers everywhere! Papa says the rain has been really good for the farm and the cows are eating good!!

One week old A few days old

I also made a new friend with one of the "big kid" cows. He was very friendly and was interested in checking us out up close and personal. He even licked mommy's hand!

Oh yeah - I can't forget the cow that was taking a bath - that was very funny!

The walk from the barn to the cow field was pretty far for a little guy like me. I got awfully tired on the way back. I decided to hitch a ride. Luckinly a really nice man drove by and he let me jump in the back of his pick-up.

I can't forget all the fun I had on the tractor! Papa and I got all ready for some farming and then we took the tractor out for some hard work (and play!).

p.s. For those of you that are having trouble sleeping becuase you don't know the status of my reward - I just wanted to let you know that I went to the bouncy place in the mall. I had so much fun. There was a Batman and a Spiderman bouncer this time!!! Mommy didn't take her camera - but that's a good thing becuase I was jumping so much she probably couldn't have gotten me in focus!
