Again, here is the big helper, who loves to help wash out the dogs little kiddie pool in the back yard. This is him holding the keys to the shed and crying because I would not open in for the simple green "shshss" and broom because it was to cold to be getting all wet today. Sorry buddy, maybe tomorrow.

McClain has always been a big helper with whatever I may be doing. But he became a big fan of rolling out and cutting sugar cookies during the holidays. Now he asks all the time to make cookies. Here he is enjoying one of his masterpieces. Yummy!

McClain's first time out to dinner with the kids to celebrate a Birthday. Dinner at Miguels and a play day around the lake at Dos Lagos in Corona. Happy Birthday Auntie Mindy!

This was a Christmas gift from Mimi and G. Paul. What a hit, McClain loves his quad that Ivy gave him and his Dad re-built so much. But it is still just to big for him to get around on, and he is always asking to ride. So this new quad is the perfect fit. He can step on the gas and go, well with a little steering direction that is. Thank you Mimi and G. Paul.

Wow, what a spoiled guy. This is McClain's play room days after Christmas, just trying to find a home for all those new and old favorite toys. Hope we can do it.

Popsicles are a new found treat. But boy are they messy! So unless we are outside, we save this after dinner treat for bath time. Wash that sticky mess right down the drain.

McClain is a totally Dads guy and outdoors guy. He loves to be right in the middle of all the lawn work. I don't know what he likes better sitting on the lawn mower or blowing the cut grass down the driveway.

Two things McClain loves, Ivy and music. Put them together and watch the good times roll.

This is McClain's famous "cheese" smile. He has become quite the ham and loves taking pictures. Wonder why? The poor guys has had a camera in his face every day since birth. Any how he now loves to say "cheese" for the camera, then look at the picture in the camera to see what he looks like. To funny.

This may very wells be one of the best days ever!! This was our Christmas celebration with Clint's family. And this was the very fist time that McClain was able to play with his cousins. All the little ones. This was the first time we have ever had them over to the house, let alone inside, all of them. It was the greatest time; ok so I admit I was a little freaked out at first, but once I got over that it truly was the greatest time ever.

This is a Christmas gift from Oma. She sure knows how to pick a toy!! McClain loves this little school house, with apple tree. There is a little girl figurine he calls Ivy and boy that he calls Dad. He will go into his playroom and climb up to his table and play with this for a long time. He loves to drop the apples into the tree and put the little pizza's into the oven at the corner pizza parlor. Very cute.

McClain's new train table, this was a Christmas present from Santa Clause, and he just loves it! He runs straight to the table and climbs up every morning and says "Mom, whhoo, whoo" . This means I better figure out how to put together a track for the day so Thomas and his friends can go round and round.

A very happy New Years Day for the Blackmon Family. The Burns' family came over for dinner to celebrate 2009.
