Breakfast of Champions

Many of you know about my obsession with smoothies.  I usually make one everyday for breakfast.  Gus has taken to helping me lately.  He has gotten so good that he can practically make them by himself.  He is becoming such a good little helper.

"Fishing"

We finally had some rain this past week and our little creek behind the house had some water in it.  Gus and I want for a hike to see and he decided we needed to go fishing.  We caught 3 leaf fish, 1 pine needle fish and 2 stick fish.  We were so busy I didn't get a picture of the catch.

Massage for Mommy

After trying to clean the house and change the sheets this Saturday morning, Gus saw Mommy taking a "break".  Daddy suggested that Gus give Mommy a massage.  We often give him massages after bath time, so he is well aware of how good it feels.  If only his hands were a little bigger.

This is how he thought a massage should end.

Eating Melon

The beauty of being 2 1/2 is that no matter what you do, you put your whole heart into it.  Gus loves melon and these pictures are evidence of just how much.  He wouldn't wait for me to cut it into pieces, he wanted the half of melon.  I gave it to him because I am so glad that he likes fruits and vegetables.

I don't understand, why would I want to use a spoon?

Silly Gus Pictures

These are just a few pictures that are cute, but didn't fit into any of the other postings. 

Gus was using Thor's new Chuck Norris poster as binoculars

Yeah, Michigan State won on Jan.2.  Thanks Uncle Christian for the new MSU digs!

He likes to sit on the washer while Daddy is cooking so he can keep an eye on him

Keeping up on the latest in the world of flying

New Excavator

Uncle Sam bought this for Gus for Christmas.  Obviously, we had to ship it home.  When it arrived, it was like Christmas all over again.  He couldn't wait to put it to the test in his sand box.  It didn't take him long to to figure out how to move the sand around.

New Year's Day Hike

He woke up to beautiful weather here and so happy to be in our own beds!  It was about 65 and sunny, so we went for a family hike.  This trail is literally right out our back door.

Gus likes cutting pine needles with Daddy's leatherman.  So Mommy held the needles while Gus cut.

Futura was happy to see us too.
