Circus and 2nd Birthday Party all in one week! April 19-25, 2009

Monte taking a walk…

…after a while he always sucks his thumb and rubs his diaper that sticks out.  Check out that big belly!

 

Monte and Warren say goodbye to “Turtle Power” as they set him free back into the wild.

 

Monte at daycare wearing a hat to keep the rain sprit out of his curls.

 

 

Monte looks like he had a little too much fun with his pudding snack at daycare.

 

Too funny!  This week at daycare they were learning about the circus and here Monte looks like a clown.

 

At naptime Monte woke up and talked to the ladies and then the next moment he fell back asleep, but forgot to get back on his cot!

 

 

Monte and Daddy at the circus.  Check out that clown tie.

 

Ornery and incorrigible will be the two words to describe this look when he is just a little bit older.

“Ewh, what that smell?”  A direct quote the Monte repeatedly asked during the circus when referencing the foul smell of elephant dung.

 

Monte is a big boy on their new T-Rex 4-wheeler.

  Safety first = wearing helmets

 

When Monte woke up from his nap on his party day, he didn’t want anything but to go out and see Uncle Mark’s bike!

 

Monte is behind this mask and check out all of those dinosaur eggs he found!

 

Aunt Taylor helps Monte sort through his eggs.

 

Happy 2nd Birthday Monte!

 

 
All of that for me?  Monte gets ready to eat his smash cake.

 

Monte had fun coloring his plaster dinosaur with Uncle Mark.

 

Here Monte shows us how old he is after his party!

 

McKenna an Olivia came over with their mommies and helped to decorate dinosaur cookies.  The girls got a bowl of ice-cream as their reward!

 

   

Monte did you save any eggs for your friends?

 

Check out the cool dude shades that Monte designed.

The boys enjoy a bowl of ice-cream after helping decorate cookies.

 

Mommy gives her only Grandma she has ever had a big hug!  Grandma Sally taught Mommy about love, family, cooking, sewing, and somewhere in there maybe a little patience wore off…. :)
