Cameron and Max at 3 years (and two weeks)

We finally remembered to take my picture with Max the Bunny last night. Here I am with Max.


Here is me and Ben. I am definitely catching up to him.


Here we are again in a "cute" pose.

Swim Lessons

I'm about half way through my latest round of swim lessons. I can swim under water and I am learning how to do the freestyle stroke. Here I am watching my teacher.

Growing Grass

Both of us planted grass and are growing it for projects from school. Mine is much further along than Cameron's, but his will soon be as bushy as mine.

More Projects from the past few weeks

Here's a few more projects from school. We must apologize: we haven't been doing a good job keeping up with all of the stuff going on here.

My Birthday Crown

My teachers at school made me this great birthday crown last week.

Fun with Sunsets

While we were having s'mores by the fire for Cameron's birthday, Daddy and I noticed the sun was setting and went to take some of these beautiful, fun and silly pictures.


That's me in the distance, messing around in front of the setting sun.

My 3rd Birthday

My 3rd birthday was yesterday. We went down to Algona for Hayden's christening and Grandma Jan's retirement party, so we celebrated part of my birthday at home on Thursday. I had a bunch of presents to open.


One of my favorite presents was a Jeff Gordon remote controlled race car.



When we got to Aunt Michelle's house, Ben had Daddy hang up this Happy Birthday sign. He had been working on it all week.


He also made a lot of great Monster Truck decorations like this one.


We finished the day with a slice of Monster Truck / NASCAR cake, a lot more nice presents and some s'mores from the firepit.



Thanks to everyone for all of the great presents and birthday wishes!

A Lot of Art

Here is a lot of art that we did at school or at church. Here is a decorated plate that I made to look like Mommy. (Ben)



Here is a friendship necklace that I made at church. (Ben)



This is a potato painting that I made at school. It is not of a potato, it was with a potato, silly. (Cameron)



We sang the peanut butter and jelly song at school on Friday (the same one from Ben's last day at Peppermint Fence last year) and then I painted this sandwich. (Cameron)



This night star has lots of little holes in it to make it look like a lot of stars. (Ben)

Really Snappy Dressers

Today after church, we came home and changed our clothes. Both of us picked out our own clothes and Mommy and Daddy thought we had excellent taste and a good ability to match colors. What do you think?

Weather Station Installation

Today, it was finally nice enough to put my weather station out in the backyard. Cameron got it for me for Christmas, so I let him be in the picture.


He wouldn't take the drum stick out of his mouth, so Daddy took a picture of just me and the weather station.

Do Not Come In

The other day, I didn't want Mommy to come in my room, so I wrote this sign.

The Empty Cars Tissue Box

Today, we used the last tissue from the Cars tissue box. It was time to recycle the box, so I made Mommy take a picture of it for me.


Cameron also got in on the action, although with some other non-Cars tissue box.

The Last Show and Tell of my Preschool Career

Wednesday was the last show and tell I had at Joyful Noise. I brought my new NASCAR racers (Jimmie Johnson, Dale Jr. and Jeff Gordon) and my Daddy's Jimmie Johnson hat (autographed by Chad Knaus, his crew chief). It was really fun.

Here I am with the show and tell bag.



And here is a funny picture of me with the show and tell bag.

A Basketball Hoop at Lowe's

On Saturday, we went to the Learn and Grow project at Lowe's. This time, it was a basketball hoop to celebrate the Final Four.



In case you forgot, the last time we went, I made the Valentine's Day mailbox.

Giant Pumpkin Experiment: Step 1

Last night, we took the first step in our giant pumpkin experiment: we bought the seeds, dirt and some pots to get the seeds started.



We also talked the ear of the gentleman at the store off about Jimmie Johnson and the Lowe's 48 car.
