Look what I can write all by myself:

Mama and I spent a few days with Oma and Opa. We went swimming, played soccer, and had lots of fun!

Mesquite Rodeo

Mama, Daddy and I went to the rodeo with Grandma and Granddad. The best part? Cotton Candy! It was the first time I got to eat that.

I'm 4 years old!

Here are a few pictures from my birthday. Oma and Mama made a Lego cake for me.






Here's my "Wobble Deck." I can use it to make music.



And here is the scooter I got from Mama and Daddy. I can go super-fast!






That evenin, Grandma, Granddad, Aunt Amy und Uncle Jay came over. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of us yet. But we had lots of fun. We ate pizza, jumped on the trampoline, and I got to show them my scooter.

Boating and Fort Worth

On Monday, we rented a boat. I even got to help steer.




Afterwards, we drove to Fort Worth. I saw real longhorns and Oma and Opa and I went through a maze looking for letters. I got to pet a horse, too.

Circus

Last Sunday, Mama, Daddy and I went to the circus with Oma and Opa. That was so much fun!







Of course, in the evening, I had to jump on my trampoline again.

Birthday Party

On August 8th, my friends, Oma and Opa, Grandma and Granddad, Aunt Amy and Uncle Jay came to celebrate my 4th birthday. We had so much fun!







Mama made my hat, shirt, and shorts. Daddy made the design: a "4" out of Legos.


Oma, Opa, Grandma and Granddad helped me build. I got the Legos from Grandma and Granddad.


Oma and Opa gave me a trampoline for my birthday. Jumping is so much fun!


We all took turns on the trampoline.




This year I got to blow out 4 candles...not as easy as it looks.



All of us kids eating:



After the party, I had to try out my new tennis racket from Aunt Amy and Uncle Jay.
