End of Summer.

These first 3 pictures sum up my favorite part of summer.... STRAWBERRIES! Yummy!
Either by luck or Mommy's excellent gardening skills we ended up with two harvests of strawberries this season. One in June, like everyone else, and a extra large batch right now. We have so many I hope I can enjoy them all. I stand next to the garden every day and peek in to see if any more are ready. Sometime I eat the whole strawberry, stem and all. As you can see below, I love them!!!

For 7 days in August our town, Chaska, hosted the 91st Championship PGA. It was quite the big deal. Lots of golfers, volunteers and grandparents came to town. Grandma and Grandpa Raisanen were here for 8 days to enjoy the event. Grandma and Grandpa Wilson came to town for a few days as well. Each day someone was heading over there. I'm still not sure what the big fuss was about, watching old people play golf?? If you want to see a good golf game, you should check out mine. I'm awesome. Course I love pushing my bag around the most. Here's the best picture Daddy took. (That's Tiger's butt in case you don't recognize it).

My rocking horse is finally short enough for me to get on it all by myself. I ride it every day and say "weeeeee" each time. So much fun. The picture below is of my Mommy's horse when she was a kid. I have another horse down stairs that mine. Aren't I spoiled??

As explained in previous posts, I can say the word "shoes". Every day I say, "Momma Shoes", "Da Shoes". I just love trying on everyone's shoes. Please come visit our house, so I can try on your shoes.

Mommy likes this picture. For the longest time Mommy and Daddy couldn't figure out who I looked like most. But this picture clearly shows who I resemble most.

Welp, that's all I've got for now. Enjoy the pictures. I am heading to the State Fair next weekend with my buddy Jake. I'm looking forward to some Deep Fried Oreos and Chocolate Covered Bacon on a Stick. Yum, Yum!

Boy, we have been busy! July just flew by. Last time we posted we had just set up our fish tank. The fish tank has been in full swing for the past 4 weeks. A week ago we added two fish as our "tester" fish. Guinea is blue with a yellow tail and Pig has a blue head and white-ish body and tail. Hopefully you can connect the dots with the name choices. :) We recently added the two clown fish. We have yet to name them and welcome any suggestions. Andrew and Koko love the tank. Much time is spent just staring into it. (sorry about the flash in the photo).

Andrew loves shoes. All kinds. He loves pointing out everyone's shoes. He loves putting on his shoes, cause that means we're going outside. The typically outside routine is... 1) Put on Andrew's shoes, 2) Andrew finds Mommy's shoes and makes her put them on, 3) Andrew finds Daddy's shoes and makes him put them on, 4) go outside and have fun.

Well, now we love to put on Mommy's shoes and walk around the house. It's especially fun to wear the ones with heels. It's a little difficult to walk in those, but it's funny to watch him try.

And here's what we do when we get outside. Go to Andrew's park. We call it Andrew's park because all the equipment and swings are toddler size, so we are typically the only people there. He just loves the swings. At day care Linda has lots of toys in her backyard, but Andrew is content with just swinging all afternoon. If you ask him if he wants to get down, you hear a big "NO"!!!

Swinging with Daddy. He always laughs when someone swings with him. The higher the better!

More fun at the park!

We have another busy month ahead of us. The PGA Championship is coming to Chaska next week and with it both sets of Grandparents. We will have a busy house for a week, but Andrew will love all the attention and Mom and Dad will love all the extra help.
