As you all know, Auntie Jenny celebrates her birthday on the most important holiday on the Norwegian calendar. To celebrate with her, me and my mama came out to Seattle and doned our itchy (but lovely) bunads, gobbled down some salmon and salad at the best restaurant in Seattle, toasted the surprise of another Breen baby in the works, and marched in a huge parade in Ballard with our bunad-clad friends, the Strandoos. It was about ten hours past my bedtime, but I didn't care at all because it was the most exciting combination of sites and sounds I ever did see. Wow, those Norwegians sure know how to throw a parade!

Tell me Stewart...
I went on a big camping trip over Mother's Day weekend to North Dakota. This was our first campground in a huge State Park near Glendive. I didn't get to go mountain biking per se, but I did catch up with the bikers at each step of the way and I heard it was pretty badass. I mostly did a lot of dirt moving and tick finding with my buddies Claire and Zach.

Adrenaline Junkie
Guess what?! My Grannie (who I call "dada") got me a swing for my birthday! Last week, on a beautiful spring day, mom (aka "dada") hung it on the branch of a tree in our backyard. Then my dad ("dada") took these pictures while I swung super high and fast. I love swinging. I could just swing all day long.

Missed Meat
I've heard of a lot of crazy things, but have you ever eaten MEAT DONUTS? Doug and Sue brought "Dougie Fresh Doughnuts" to my parents' Meatloaf and Martini party -- they won, of course. I was put to bed before the whole thing, of course. I always miss out on the good stuff. Who says meatloaf and martinis can't be part of a youngster's diet. I mean, I am ONE after all... Jeez.

Feeling old
Well, I hit my first major milestone this weekend when I turned ONE. I think I was the only one disturbed by the fact that my candle was unlit, and therefore couldn't make a wish. Nevertheless, it was a fun party, and I pulled in a truckload of booty. I got to climb the staircase to the attic all by myself AND I discovered that my car seat had been turned to face forward (which would have been my wish, had the candle been lit).
As my mom tucked me into bed that night, I began to realize that I'm getting old really fast. Next year, I'll be twice my age!

Chico Hot Springs
Here's me, Johnny, and Van floating around in the steamy hot tub at Chico Hot Springs. I've got tons of photos from the weekend--to see them, click this photo and visit my Flickr site.
By the way, does everyone know it's my birthday this Saturday???

Watching Glen Shovel Snow
Me and my cousins from Seattle had a great time together this weekend. This was one of our favorite moments--the cat, snow, Glen with his snow blower--I could go on, but I don't really have the attention span yet.

mom and gmoms
Look at this motley crew. While I napped away at the Leidecker's pad in Warm Springs, my mom, dad, Nannie, and Mor Mor "shredded the gnar" on Baldy Mountain. Dad tried to take me up to the top, but the mean old lifty wouldn't let him. I guess I'll have to save somethings for next year.

New Friend
My parent's friends Karen and Stewart finally had their baby. It's a boy I guess, but I'll be nice to him. I think his name is Zachary Ingmar Quinn Junior or something like that. After he rests for a week or so I'm going to start teaching him how to crawl and mess with his dad's stereo. I'm pretty sure he'll be up for just about anything. I guess we're going mountain biking together in May -- he better get busy if he's gonna keep up with me.

Ruby visit
This is my friend, Ruby. I've known her since she was eight weeks old. She is spending the day with me at home, so I let her play with my elephant, frog, and snail. And then when I felt like I really trusted her, I let her play with Mr. Montana who is missing a leg ever since Claire and I wrestled over him a few weeks ago. Excuse me, we have to eat our Cheerios now.

Be mine
I was very relieved the other day to open the mailbox and find my very own Valentines Day card from my Grandpa Schaub. I am also very happy to report that my hair is coming in.

Literary Giant
I'm really struggling to find a good read right now. I've plowed through most of the great novels and have enjoyed some of what I've read by James Joyce, Hemmingway and Maya Angelou. But to tell you the truth I prefer the classics -- like Barnyard Dance and Are You My Mommy? Now, where'd I leave Happy Baby Words?

Quilt on couch
This is my mom's spider quilt. She won't tell me if she likes it, she just says she's glad it's done.
Nanny and us
Here we are again, stuffed into our red snowsuits and ready for walking! I loved our visit from Nanny. She let me play in her room during the wee morning hours while my parents snoozed like teenagers.

Snappy
It's been a really great New Year. Now that I figured out the crawling and standing thing, I feel like I've got the whole world at my feet. Dad says I'm not allowed to stand in the bathtub, and I don't seem to be tall enough to ascend stairs, but otherwise, I get pretty wide access to the entire house. Like my silky PJs?

Christmas hats
Ho ho ho. Me n' Claire got these strawberry hats from Claire's grandma Carolyn. Man, just the thought of strawberries gave us the munchies so bad! Claire gets nutty for Zweiback toast, so I just sucked on a lemon. Check.

Pre-Crawl
Wait, wait...I think I'm getting the hang of it. No. Wait. I think I'm stuck. Maybe if I rock a little. No. OOh. My muscles kind of hurt. Uh. Can someone help me?

Grandpa Schaub turns 65!
Well, would ya take a gander at these crazy folks! You all know my dad by now. He's the rock-star-cum-lumberjack on the left. Next to him Great Aunt Suzie. She's Grandpa Schaub's sister. Man, G-Schaub looks like he's going to blow those birthday candles straight outta cake! Uncle Tim seems surprised--are his arms crossed or is he wearing a straightjacket? Aunt Annie, well, I don't know what to think about her drinking. We don't really talk about that in the family.
Me, I was hangin with my cousin Claire that weekend while our moms went skiing at Bridger Bowl and took in the best powder days of the season (so far).
Happy Birthday, Grandpa Schaub!!!

Grannie Nannie
My Grannie Nannie just came to Bozeman for a visit. She's real nice because she dresses me warmer than my parents and takes me on sledding rides. Sometimes I could just blow bubbles with her all day.

The Next Generation
Here's another picture from Thanksgiving. These are my mom's sisters and their 2005 babies. I'm not sure exactly what I'm chewing on--it looks like a fresh kill from this angle. Hm. Maybe a Zweibeck toast? I love those.
