First Haircut

4th of July in St. Louis

Things we did in St. Louis:

went to the playground with Grannie.

had a dance party at GG's house

giggled with Uncle Larry... and ate ice cream!

went to the St. Louis Zoo with our cousins from Texas

"there's a monkey!"

rode the train at the zoo

"choo choo"

played with Jaxon

shared dinner with Grandpa King

played with Benny

and rode another "choo choo" with Grannie.

It was a special treat to have the whole King side

of the family together for the first time in years!

It was a busy week, as usual. But we had a wonderful time seeing everyone.

Izzy cone...

We took Oscar to Izzy's Ice Cream for a little treat. He had never eaten an ice cream cone before but he knew just what to do. Loved it!

going...

going...

gone.

"What are you lookin' at?!"

"Have that?"

Happy Father's Day!!

Happy Father's Day, Dada!

I love you very much. I have so much fun playing with you, wrestling with you, swimming, going for walks, sharing snacks, listening to you read me stories, and snuggling with you. I am so lucky to have such an awesome dad.

Love, Oscar

ps. I am having fun with you this weekend at the cabin... and I will give you you're gift when we get back home.

Grannie and Grandpa Irv came to visit!

I know I'm behind schedule... but you're used to it!

Grannie Annie and Grandpa Irv came to visit at the end on May. We did our best to relax, but managed to still keep them busy.

We did some sight-seeing in downtown Minneapolis and took a quick walk through the Guthrie Theater to enjoy the amazing views of the "Mill City".

Oscar was excited to show off his new summer stuff!

Barefoot, shirtless and in his swim trunks - doesn't get anymore summery than that!

We couldn't pass up a garage sale with some good deals on Oscar paraphenalia - some furniture, indoor and out. For some reason he was compelled to move the furniture around... hmmmm, I wonder where he gets that from?

"I don't think I can dunk it YET!"

Of course we had some delicious meals... Sea Salt Eatery at Minnehaha Falls, one of our summer favorites.

A lovely outdoor brunch with Matt's parents.

Oscar was pleased that Grandpa Irv shared with him.

We even managed to do a little yard work.

Oscar got tired of just watching us so he decided to get out his mower and help!

And Oscar's new favorite game... airplane!!

Wheeee!

Impromptu dance party

How can you not get yo' booty movin' when this song comes on the radio!

Rrrrrrrr-icky

Uncle Rick came to town! Oscar had lots of fun with him... Rick wasn't too sure that Oscar was enjoying his visit. But I think the pictures show that he was.

"I'm just chillin'.""Are you watching me Uncle Rick?"

A game of tag after dinner outside of the Guthrie.

"You can't catch me!"

"I'm too fast!"

"Toes!"

I think they were having fun, don't you?

Uncle Rick took me to see M Butterfly at the Guthrie... it was wonderful.

Thanks for coming to visit us. We really did enjoy your stay and we hope you come back again soon.
