Mr. Grabby and Nakey Boy

When I decided to take a picture of Glenn here, he was holding my cell phone up to his ear like he was listening to somebody... but then he saw the camera and dropped the phone in hopes of getting something better.



The below pictures were taken at Granna & Pada's lake house, at Rough River. We swam at the beach and went out on Grandpa's boat on Friday - Glenn's first boat ride, and he fell asleep about 1/4 of the way into it. Saturday, we went for a little jaunt in the paddle boat, and Glenn fell asleep again. Naturally, we forgot to take the camera along for those adventures. Go figure.

As we were getting ready to leave on Saturday, I decided to change Master Glenn's diaper and his clothes. Shirt came off and then the diaper. I was getting the new diaper ready to go under his tushie and he took off. (Notice what he is wearing? I don't know where he got his constant desire to wear shoes, but it sure didn't come from me...)

Yes, the diaper he's carrying is clean. No, he didn't "mark" any territory on his nakey jaunt. And yes, I realize that he's probably going to seriously dislike me for this picture later, but I did at least refrain from getting a frontal picture.

Contemplating... something. Still no diaper.
And trying to put a shoe back on, after I finally pinned him down for a dry diaper. This boy loves to wear shoes!

Kentucky State Fair

Glenn's first fair, and my first state fair in at least 10 years.

First stop was to see the "Mules & Jacks" - I showed my total lack of farm-animal knowledge when I repeatedly asked nobody in particular "What's the difference between a mule & a jack?" Scott didn't know, either, so he looked it up. Now we know.

Anyhow, the mules were absolutely gorgeous! I had no idea they were so big, and the ones we saw were all really gentle and most were lovin' the lovin' the visitors were showering upon them.

Does he look like he knows something nobody else does? Or is it just me?
Sleeping goats. Aren't they sweet?
Little bitty goats!
The black & white one in the middle/left was headbutting anybody who got near him. I think there was some other action going on near the gate, but I can't swear to it... (Everywhere we go, it seems we see animals procreating. What's up with that?)

These are cakes. Real cakes!! These were two of my favorites. There was also one that looked amazingly like a tree wearing it's fall colors, but I didn't get a picture of that one.

The Muppets

Jungle Cake

(Don't know why this one is so fuzzy...)

Danger Boy

Is there anything this boy won't do to get what he wants? (In this case, it's the toilet paper he wants.)



The answer would be, "No."

He climbed up there all on his own. I have no idea how, and don't think I want to know...

15 Months

I made a sign, but it didn't last long enough for even one picture...

My ever moving boy... (hence the fuzziness)

playing with 'his' camera

Trying to get down from the chair, while the ghost dog walks by (I don't know why Caesar is transparent. Because he was moving?)

Trying another way down

More dog in the way
Glenn in motion!!
Self-portrait. Sort of.

"Hmmm. The blue one, or the blue one?"

More Glenn in motion

Relaxing on the doggie. Being a boy is hard work, you know!

First Haircut!!!

I finally gave in & agreed to get Glenn's hair cut. We went to Great Clips today (Saturday), so that Daddy could go, too. Glenn did great, but he looks so different!!

Check out the shaggy boy:


Scott did a great job of catching me mid-word, didn't he?
Glenn was quite the relaxed customer.


The finished look. What a gorgeous boy!

A Boy and His Dog, part 2

Scott took these while I was out doing something the other day. I love them! (The boys, and the pictures.)

Glenn and Caesar love looking out the windows in the kitchen. They don't always share the same space, tho...

Weekend in Nashville

Father's Day Weekend, we went to Nashville with Tina, Ted, Ethan and Simon.

On Friday, just after we got into our hotel room (room 2125), Glenn took his first steps!!! He watched Simon run around like a wild man and just decided to give it a try. Yay!! (Coincidentally, I took my first steps while on 'vacation', too. We were in Virginia celebrating my first birthday with Mom's extended family.)

Saturday, Glenn slept in.

After breakfast, we all piled into the Pilot and set out for The Parthenon. I turned on the vents in the back, so that Ted and Ethan could get some air, and this is what happened.
Crazy hair!
The Parthenon is a full-scale model (?) of the original Parthenon in Greece. We couldn't take any pictures until we got to Athena's floor, for some unknown reason. Anyhow, she's almost 42 feet tall. The last time I saw her, I was in Nashville with my Mom and she (Athena) was getting a major make-over for the Parthenon's Nashville 100 year anniversary.
Ethan wandering around

A nice family shot.

A Gryphon. I just thought he was neat.

Another nice family shot. Notice Simon trying to escape...
The guys at the front



Apparently, we wore Scott out.

And Ethan. Ted's the only real trooper.

We ate lunch at The Rainforest Cafe at the Opry Mills Mall. Simon wasn't thrilled about the "thunder storms" inside, but Glenn liked them.

There wasn't a race on the tv, but the boys sacked out in the hotel anyhow. I went swimming (there'll probably never be a picture of that!)
