May 13, BBQ at Sarah and Dave's

This was a great BBQ, I got to going swimming at Sarah's with all my little friends from the Mommy's group. I had a great time. I love to splash and run around the pool and I have no fear of jumping into the pool. My parents are so glad we do not have a pool. I get to go to swimming lessons for 2 weeks in June, I can't wait!

Mother's Day!

We had a great mother's day. I got my mom flowers, a funny card, and lotion, and took her out to breakfast at her favorite place THE FARM. I am starting to not take naps because there are so many fun things to do! As you can see on mothers day I was very tired because I didn't take a nap for 3 days!

May 6, 2006 Tommy the Big Helper!

I was a big helper this weekend. Mom and dad decided to add some color in our back yard. I help plant some Jasmine, palm trees, and some red vine flowers ( my mom can not remember the name of them). I helped water the plants, play in the dirt, and for some reason, I think my dad thought my helping was getting in the way sometimes! But, I sure had fun! The pictures tell all!

I love to read!

I love to read. My mom and dad read to me everyday. I love to read myself as well. The pictures are so fascinating. I also like to make lots of noises. I am not saying a lot of words yet, because I am so curious with everything around me that I enjoy going, going, and going. On this day that I was reading, I got a time out, my parents do not think that pushing over chairs is very funny, though I like to do that when I don't get my way, so I had a time out in my room, but I didn't mind, because I made myself comfortable with a book and my purple bear!

Bath time!

I just wanted everyone to know that I (Thomas) love bath time and the water. Everynight before bed I take a bath and play with my toys. My dad gives me a bath and I wrap up in a froggy towel and I run to find mommy. It is so fun to be little and full of energy!

Easter April 16, 2006

April 16, 2006
This was a special time with Thomas' great granparents Pop Pop and Nana Rusling. They came for Easter to visit us, but especially to see Thomas. They even took Thomas so Bryan and I could have a date. They read books, played outside and took him on walks. I know it was wonderful to grow up with my great grandparents and what a blessing that Thomas has two sets of great grandparents. We will be going out in September of this year to go visit his Great Grandma and Grandpa Peltzer as they celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary.

Sedona Trip April 1, 2006

My mom came out for spring break and we went to Sedona for the night. I didn't realize how beautiful it was. The pictures don't do justice! We had a great time, we stayed at a beautiful hotel in which we enjoyed the pool, spa, and yoga. We enjoyed sight seeing the town and hiking the next day! Thomas was wonderful that weekend and really enjoyed the soft beds.

Picture of Our Home

Our new House in Phoenix, AZ

March 6, 2006

We took ownership of our new built house. I never thought in my life it would be less expensive to have a house built. But, with the huge growth in the valley, it surprising was. Here is Thomas showing everyone our front of our house, I will insert some more pictures. We are enjoying the space after living in a 800 sq. foot apartment with a dog and a very active little boy. We enjoy the one level after living on the 3rd level of the aparment complex and taking the dog to go the bathroom. We eventually trained our dog to go down 3 flights of stairs go the bathroom and come back up. What a good dog.
