Miss You Much

May 12, 2007 - Today is a very sad day. My New York Gama died today. She was always fun to go shopping with and I'll never forget how she said,"water". Here are a few shots of her and I.


I'll miss you Gama!

Swinging

May 12, 2007 - We FINALLY got our new swingset today! YEAH!! Now mom doesn't have to worry about the old one falling down when all the neighborhood kids come to play. Even Grandpa got to break it in. Hey, who's swingset is this?



BIG BUBBLES, GAMPA!

We'll miss you Madeline!

May 11, 2007 - Ms Madeline and her parents are moving back to Minnesota so we decided to have a going away playdate with them.

Here's baby Aiden:

Here's baby Elise:

And here's the Maid of Honor, herself!


Here's some pictures of all of us playing:

I love Powell in the Spring...

May 5, 2007 - Spring has sprung and it's time to do some yard work. "Daddy, I do it!"


Well, my work here is done. I'm off to the gym...

Walk with the "nimals"...

April 30, 2007 - Mom took me to the zoo today to see the "nimals" (animals). I got to see Bears, "Pish" (fish), snakes, "nguins" (penguins), "tuttles" (turtles), and so much more! Sorry Grampa, we missed to Moose today; they must have been hiding...

Here's me with the "mingos" (flamingos):



We also walked around with Ms Negar and Baby Elise and Ms Cari and Baby Aiden. They did what babies do best - eat and poop!

I'm coming up so you better get this party started!

March 24, 2007 - Well, this week I turn 2!! We had some friends over to celebrate with me. It was so much fun to see everyone, especially Claire and Rebecca. We're only 6 weeks apart and we're so much alike.

Here's Claire and I sitting on a chair together. See mom, I can share!


Let's hit my dad with my birthday balloons!


Here's me getting serenaded.


Here's Uncle Brian holding Claire's sister Sarah. He looks a little nervous...

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

March 8, 2007 - Today is my daddy's birthday. Since I'm still recovering from the stomach bug, dad stayed home with me so I got to spend the WHOLE DAY with him! That's the best present anyone could get. Wouldn't you agree?!?

Yum, that looks good. Can I have some too?

BTW - Also, happy birthday wishes go out to Uncle Brian and Charlotte's dad, Jed! March birthday's rule!

Baby of Mine...

March 7, 2007 -
***UPDATE: HOUSTON, WE HAVE A NAME!!! Elise Bastani is Cohen's little sister. Isn't she cute!?!

Ms Negar, is your hair curled and are you wearing lipstick?!?


Welcome to the world Baby G! I'm so proud to say that Cohen has a baby sister... She weighed in at 8 lbs 3 oz and 20 inches. Now, her parents just need a name for her! Way to go Negar & Chad; we can't wait to meet her and have tea parties!

UGH!!

Monday, March 5, 2007 - I feel like crap. I'm going to take a nap!! This spot looks good. McKenna OUT.... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Party!

February 24, 2007 - Happy Birthday Grace!! I got invited to a birthday party at the Little Gym and boy did we have fun! Here's the whole gang. I thought you'd all like to see my belly...

Here's Preston executing a perfect "seat drop". I give it a 10!

I'm a big fan of birthday cake. Well, maybe just the frosting...

We Are the Champions...

February 20, 2007 - Today was my last class in this gymnastics session. As a treat, we got to run around on the "Floor Exercise" mat like the big kids.


For being such a good gymnast, Ms Vicki gave me stamps. I'd like it right here, please.



...And from the USA, McKenna wins the gold!

I'm too sexy...

February 14, 2007 - More snow and BRRRR is it cold! After another few rounds of shoveling (OK, I just hang out in the garage and supervise) we came inside and I got quite hot and stripped myself down to a onsie and my favorite Puma's. Check out those legs!


Then, mom got artsie with the camera. Do you think I should send these to Tyra?

Snow Day!

February 14, 2007 - Here's some more snow shots from Powell. Total was about 7 inches of snow (on top of 3 inches we got last week) and 2 inches of ice. Even Dad got a day and a half off!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

February 13, 2007 - Well the first major snowstorm of winter has FINALLY arrived and I'm bundled up and ready.

I'll just sit here and supervise dad while he shovels.


Dad you missed a spot!

Oh, here's my friend Logan. He always makes me laugh!

We are siamese if you please.

February 5, 2007 - There is no finer cat than I am...

Welcome Tiki!

February 4, 2007 - I'd like to announce the arrival of Owen Gilkerson. Tiki, as I call him, came into the world weighing a respectable 8 lbs 9 oz and was 20 1/4 inches long. He arrived just before the start of the second half of the Super Bowl, so we know he's destined for greatness! Please see Dillon's website for pictures of the cutie...

Way to go Kristy! We can't wait to have a playdate with the boys soon!

I'll be there for you...

February 2, 2007 - if you're there for me too! I've had lots of visitors laterly. Ms Rebecca and her mom came to see me. We had lots of fun playing!


Megan, Matthew and their parents came to have dinner with us too. And, joy of joys, their mom read me one of my favorite books! Thanks for the entertainment Megan. You guys can come back anytime! Matthew, you can come too and drive the ATV around again if you PROMISE not to hit anymore walls!
