Hello, everyone. Sorry for the delay since my last post. Lots of things have been going on!
Going back a couple of weeks, Mom, Dad and I go our tomatoes planted. It was hard work.
Mom and I had several days to ourselves as Dad had his annual Okoboji trip. I laid on the charm and talked Mom into letting me sleep in her bed while he was gone. I don't know why Mom thought she needed to take a picture of it, but I look pretty comfortable.
The day before school got out for the year my class got to go to the park and pond near our school. Mom came along to help. It was a lot of fun.
That night I had soccer. It was the best weather yet and I played really well.

Friday school wrapped early so Mom and I headed to Grandma Kathy and Papa's house. It was wet and cold all weekend. Papa hasn't been in the field yet! (As of the date of this blog, June 5, 2013.) I had hoped for lots of tractor time but it wasn't meant to be.
This gave me the opportunity to do some fun things in the kitchen with Grandma. You should have seen our rainbow cupcakes!
We did go to a couple yard sales and one of my pick-ups was this awesome police helmet.
Uncle Eric came home that weekend so there was lots of guy time. We talked farming, firefighting, police work. It was a good time.
Finally, as we were wrapping up our visit I got to go drive tractors with Papa!
Once back in Des Moines Mom and I had a few days to fill. First up on the agenda? A trip to the Capitol. We took a shuttle bus which was fun.
What a big building! Mom? Will I live here someday?
Mom was nice and read all the signs to me as we toured the building. This sign was about the U.S.S. Iowa, a very famous ship. I was fascinated.
There were lots and lots of stairs in the Capitol.
And, after our visit we had lunch with Dad. It was an awesome day!
Uncle Howie and Aunt Jeanne sent me an awesome fire chief notebook and I couldn't wait to put it to good use.
The next day, keeping with the same theme, I continued my art pursuits outside with my hip sunglasses.
Mom and I hit yard sales in Des Moines too this past week. I got awesome boats and have totally taken over the bathtub with my new toys. (I gave them a good scrubbing before playing with them.)
The week ended with a fun bike ride with Mom ...
... and swimming lessons! It's that time of year again and I'm so excited to get back in the pool!
That's it, gang.
Later!
