Mom wishes her tushie looked this good...

October Review

I realize I've been a slacker lately, but you'll see I've been quite busy!

Trying on snowsuits for my big Christmas trip to WY. Too bad I won't get much use out of it here.

Grandma and Grandpa Lolley came out to see me and we went to the Biltmore.
(This was before the flu episode)

Grandpa partying with me in the bug tent
(during flu, hence PJs are still on)

Mom and Dad got new countertops, I got to party in the cabinets
(post flu)

I tried to be a ladybug for Halloween. However, I wasn't interested in costume accessories. So, I'm a ladybug w/o wings or antennae.

Lots of leaves! Be sure to ask Dad if you should use a shopvac to blow leaves.

Raisins are the snack of the moment. That's probably because I can get them out of the kitchen all by myself.

Monkey Maze

Dad and I rolled our eyes as Mom put us in the car to check out a Corn Maze. However, it turned out much better than anyone anticipated. Who knew inflatable monkeys hiding in the corn could be so much fun!

(editors note: Yes, Claire squealed at every monkey in the maze)

(good thing mom dressed me in brown pants!)





I picked out this pumpkin, but someone else snagged it before Dad could get it for me :o(



Hmmm...this cow keeps popping up in strange places

Late Summer Fun

Mom and Dad are starting to limit my time on the computer. Something about altering the operating system, I think.



This is from our Labor Day weekend visit to the great state of Kentucky. This is Cumberland Falls... "the Niagara Falls of the South"... It was a good trip. While eating lunch, a snake and raccoon came up to my window!






Sherpa Dad taking me to all the sights. Mom was in charge of the pups. Dad must have won the coin toss.

Mom and Dad, you have spent so much time feeding me. My turn to pay you back... open wide!

Never to young to fall asleep while chatting with Grammie or Nana.

Weekend

I was a big help this weekend painting! (I hear I actually get to move into this house on Friday. I'll believe it when I actually get to sleep in my crib in the Very Hungry Caterpillar room)

Mom and Dad did found time to take me to the last day the outdoor pool was open this summer. Not sure who decided mid August was the end of pool season...

All tuckered out...(yes, this is Bruce's bed)

Play Ball!!!

For a while now, Mom and Dad have talked about going to a baseball game. Well, they finally found a strong enough reason to go... Rockies within driving distance. So we all loaded up and visited the Great American Ballpark. Not bad... I got to skip the minors and go straight to the big leagues! Best part... Rockies completed a SWEEP! At least that is what Dad says... Don't tell him, but I think I'm a Reds fan... and the Reds fans like me.

If one is good, two must be better... that and they are harder to lose this way.

And we are moving into our Tennessee home.

Getting caught up with all my travels

I guess I have become quite the little traveler. Pretty soon I will even have my own frequest flyer account! Anyway, here are some highlights of my recent trip to Casper, Wy., Delta, Co., and Pinedale, Wy.



Had to check out Great Grandpa Clark's new wheels!




Cousin Nicole and I hiding from the twins.

One of the many parks we found. Have I mentioned I like sliding and swinging? And no hand holding needed!

And I just had to take Aunt Dana's old car out for a spin.

And more fun with Cousin Nicole!!! We played for hours! So glad she was able to make the trip to Delta with me!!!
