stuff I do

Last weekend I went with my mom and dad to Minneapolis to see my Aunt Sarah, Uncle Troy and my cousins Max and Luke. I had a great time!


On Friday night, we went to a wedding. It was way fun, especially since I got to drink pop, which my mom never gives me. First, I just got the end of my cousin Luke's shirley temple...
... and before you know it, all the boys are bringing me drinks. Mom says it's a bad sign of things to come. I don't know what that means.
The next morning we got to go swimming. Remember when I hated swimming? How silly was that! I had such a good time that I kept trying to throw myself out of the arms of whoever was holding me at the time.Then I got crabby. Here we are at breakfast, and everyone was laughing at me. So what if my whole piece of toast was stuck to my bib? That's no reason to laugh! You sure know how to make a girl feel like a jerk!

just a few

Here are a few pics of me hangin' out. My mom's been wicked busy, so here's the best she's got for now.I'm enjoying the last of the great weather. I love to be outside!
So, again, my mom's been busy. Here's an example. She got the Halloween decorations out of the closet, but they sat in the plastic bin. I sat on the plastic bin. That's as good as it got.
I love my winter coat. I wear it around the house with Aunt Trixie's shades and man, do I look cool. You know this.

Fall Fun!

I was playing outside one day when my mom decided it was too cold for me to be playing without a hat (moms are such a drag). She made me put on this lame hat. Oh well, I had fun anyway!Here I am, indulging her. She can get so bent out of shape. But as soon as she turns her head...
I am free! I run away and tear off my hat. I love playing outside! But what can I use this hat for?
I know! I'll use it to clean off the steps. I'm sure Mom won't mind.
Busted! She totally caught me. Too bad I'm totally irresistible to her.
I love playing outside with my mom and dad! Won't you come play with me too?

I know, I know, blog overload. Just this one and one more, and then I promise that I will post them more regularly.I got to go out to lunch with my mom and my aunts Missy and Staci. I love a good seafood lunch.
I will not stay out of the tub. I don't know why anyone would stay out of the tub. I love my ducks and my whales and I would spend all day in the tub if I could!
I think I look a bit like a thug in this pic. Don't mess with me, homie. Word to your mother. Wait, actually, word to my mother. Hi Mom!

I love the pool!

Mom and Dad decided to give this pool business one more try. Holy cow, it's fun! Now you can't keep me out of the water, no matter where we are or what I'm wearing.So Dad's filling the pool, and I'm liking it.
I jumped in, in my clothes Man, the water's cold!
Wanna come in for a dip?
Ta da!
Two days later- back in the pool, this time in my suit. I love it. Too bad it is literally the last day of summer and there will be no more swimming in this pool 'til next year!

Holy buckets!

I am so sorry I haven't written in so long. Man, have I been busy! How 'bout I tell you a little about it?So here I am, just hangin' out in my favorite boots. I think they are so cool and I wear them all the time. They make such a great gallumping noise!
Hey, what's the dealeo, yo?
So, one morning my mom went out to buy me some fall clothes, and my dad stuck me in this tree! When my mom came home, she freaked out! She is so uncool.

These boots are made for... well, everything.

I love my John Deere boots. Today, Mom let me wear them all over, and I had so much fun!One of my new tricks is climbing. When I get to the top of, say, the couch or the trunk in the front hall, I yell until someone comes to look at me. I don't really understand why my mom always has a scared look on her face when she finds me. A new thing I learned is whenever I do something I think is impressive, I put up my arms and say, "ta-da!" and everybody laughs. These people are soooo easy.
The thing I struggle with is getting down. Thanks for the help, Mom. You just keep taking pictures, and I'll just fall down and break my leg. Good parenting.

Sometimes I just get sick of my mom following me around with a camera, so I go in my egg and pull down the shade. My mom still laughs at me, though, because I don't pull my legs up so just my little pink boots stick out the bottom.

This was when I got attacked by my water car. Again, thanks for the help, Mom.

What I've been up to

So, I've been so busy lately, it would be impossible for me to tell you everything. I'll just give you the highlights.I've found lately that I like to sit in the chair by myself and read. If anyone tries to sit with me I yell and run away. Sometimes a girl just wants to read!
So, remember when I thought I hated water? I was so wrong! Turns out water shoots out of my yard every other day, and I like nothing more than to run right up to the sprinklers and jump on 'em!
Mom and Dad and I play in the yard whenever we can (although they won't let me when the sprinklers are on. Pansies).
My mom thinks it's funny when I try to chase her up the hill and fall down and have to crawl. I don't even think it's fair! I mean, who runs up a hill in plastic Crocs? Jerk!

Mom's last project

My mom goes back to work tomorrow, and she is pretty sad about that. We were going to spend all week this week having fun, but she hurt her back pretty bad, so I've been going to daycare. Yesterday, she figured out that she could sit in her sewing chair with an ice pack and be pretty comfortable, so she made me this dress. I love it!

Here I am sitting in the grass with a banana pepper I picked out of the garden, which she let me chew on. Now that's what I call good parenting.
Now, I might be partial, but I think this looks pretty good on me!
I hate getting stuff on my feet, and no one would help me get it off. Jerks.

(Looks like Mom's next project should be a diaper cover. Jeez!)
Still with the banana pepper. Damn I look good!

My first Farmer's

Last weekend I went with my mom to Lake Park for my first Farmer's Appreciation Day celebration. It was great fun! My cousins Max and Luke were there and I got to play with them and my Aunt Sarah while my mom went to her ten-year class reunion (she is old). I went to a parade and I even got new John Deere boots!

This is me trying to get used to my new boots. It's hard to walk in these things!
This is my new surprised face. Every time I make it, people laugh, so I keep making it. 
Here I am hanging out on the counter at Gram's house with Max and Luke. My mom let me run around on the counter, and it was fun!
This is me and my mom and an enormous peppermint at the parade. As you can tell, I was not impressed.
After that, I needed a drink, and I needed something stronger than what was in my sipper. 

Bruck fam vacation

Sorry I haven't written in so long! I hid the camera cord from my mom  and she just found it today. I'm a good hider!

 A few weeks ago, I went on vacation with my mom and dad to my Aunt Missy and Uncle BJ's house. We had a good time hanging out and playing in the yard. I picked flowers with my dad and gramps, and then they taught me to put them in my mouth!

Ohlinger reunion fun!

Last Sunday, I went with my mom and dad to the Ohlinger family reunion. It was way fun!Here's me and my gramps. He takes me outside and we play a lot.
Here I am begging for some of my mom's chocolate cupcake.
Still begging. I mean, you'd give me some, right?
Grampa had this cool game where you throw beanbags through this hole. I am really good at, even though I tend to fall through the hole.
This is not at the reunion. This is me dancing with my beads. For some reason, this naked bead dancing concerns my mom. I don't get it.

Holy haircut, Batman!

Last Saturday, my mom and dad took me on a little outing. I was immediately suspicious. Turns out they were taking me to get my first haircut! IT WAS HORRIBLE!!!I did not like the cape. I did not care about the My Little Pony video they turned on for me. The girl sprayed me with water. She made me sit in a Bumbo seat (which I am far too big for). Nothing about this was good...
...until she gave me a sucker. I had never had a sucker before. They are good. I got to have two.
Look at how cute I am now!

After my mom had agreed to a cute little bob haircut for me, she kind of had a breakdown. I mean, didn't she know that in order to have a bob haircut, they would have to cut off all of my baby curls? Duh, Mom.
