little katelynn, erika, & abbey

great grandpa lee sent this in the mail as a gift for the bears first bday... the box said it was for 3 yrs and above, but i figured he could start now...

by the way- i (mama) put it together all by myself!

papa helping the bear ride it...

auntie christina finished her Masters program at APU so we celebrated at Toyko Delves... fun place! the servers & bartenders perform all over with singing and dancing and they encourage audience participation!

the grad enjoying her moment of glory atop her chair!

some other random pix....

the bear absolutely LOVES balloons...

he also loves his cousin taylor .. which by the way-- he said her name TWICE a few days ago without even being prompted to-- he just said it all by himself! anyhow- they both love the park... the bear wanted to climb...
