First Car Ride

I would like to take a moment to reflect upon my childhood. I remember being catapulted into the world, wrapped in a straightjacket and whisked off almost immediately in a car seat that could have fit two of me wearing nothing but a T-shirt and diaper (early spring in Bozeman is NOT the warmest time of year), looking like Ronald McDonald. Young children should not have to endure such indignities.

I usually try not to fall asleep, uh, ever, but sometimes I just can't resist. This pretty lady is my Mor Mor. She says she's making me my own Bunad, whatever that is.

My cousin Johnny and I hung out together this summer at Spirit Lake. Mostly, we just tanned on the dock, watching my dad screw up the motorboats. My Aunt Jenny is a pretty good waterskier. Uncle Tom's got a little practicing to do, though.

Here's my cuzn Claire and aunt Eliza hangin out in my van. They borrowed it last weekend and went somewhere. I'm not really sure where.
I sure like roadtrippin in the van. My parents pay a lot of attention to me cuz its such a small place. It seems like Claire liked the van, too.
Claire's cool. We hang out. Mostly we sort of wave our arms at each other and drool. The annoying thing is that we can't do anything on our own, our parents are always hovering around laughing and taking pictures and stuff. It'll be cool when we can take a roadtrip just the two of us in the van.

Missing my bootie

I sure love wearing homemade outfits. My sweater and hat was knit by my Grannie Nanny and the booties by my Great Aunt Sally. Unfortunately, I lost one of my booties in the Lewis and Clark Caverns one evening when mom, dad, and Aunt Annie took me on an after-bedtime THREE HOUR tour of the place. Wow. What a spectacular collection of stalagtites and stalagmites! You should really pay a visit to the Caverns next time your in the area (take Annie with you, 'cause she knows a lot more than the guides). Oh, and look around for my blue bootie.

How much more obvious do I have to make it?
Today while out birthday present shopping for Annie as my dad was paying for a card the guy at the register said, "what a nice, quite, little ... boy?"
I was dressed in all pink. Whaddo I have to do, lift up my dress?

Our cat Toast, who really is just a kitten herself, arrived on our back porch hungry and homeless a few weeks ago. When her stomach started bloating my dad took her to the vet to get her dewormed -- turns out the worms were kittens. We've now got a half-dozen cats under our roof. I'm not sure I like sharing the attention...

Here I am up, way past my bedtime, hanging out with some of my friends. They're pretty cool. This guy, Stewart, sure is loud though...

Here's a new trick I've been practicing. I think it'll give me a good headstart on my swim-racing career. Or maybe it'll permanently scar me -- well, I'll have plenty of material for therapy later in life.

Aunt Annie's 29th birthday is coming up next Monday. I sure hope she makes it back to Bozeman so we can celebrate with her. Who knows, maybe she's run off with a French longboarder... oui, oui

Hazel hits the web

After spending an afternoon with Uncle Tim, Hazel has created her very own blog! (Whatever that means)
We hope you enjoy it -- don't count on daily updates, but we'll do our best...
