Sometimes Mommy and Daddy are proud of me for being daring and taking risks, but other times, my adventuresome spirit gives them high blood pressure. Last night was one of those times. I was running at full speed pushing my dump truck on the sidewalk and fell chipping one of my front teeth. I cut my lip so there was lots of blood which really scared Mommy. We went to the dentist today, and he said I'll have to come back in a month for him to check on my tooth. At that point, he'll know best how to fix it. He said he can put something on it so it'll look like a normal tooth. Right now, Daddy says I look like a hill billy with my chipped tooth.
Mommy was very proud of me for how I sat still during the X-ray and while the dentist looked in my mouth. She was afraid I was not going to let him look at my teeth, but I proved her wrong. The dentist was very nice and had lots of neat things to look at in his office. When I go back in a month, I'll also have my teeth cleaned for the first time. I think it will be a fun place to visit so maybe this little accident was a good thing. Well, Mommy and Daddy probably wouldn't say that, but I think you should make lemonade out of lemons.
Don't worry...this little incident hasn't slowed me down any. Daddy says we have a new rule: the dump truck can only be pushed on the grass. I don't really like that rule because it just doesn't go as fast that way. He says that's exactly the point.
Mommy will try to take a picture of my hill billy smile sometime before my next dentist appointment so you can see for yourself.
Mommy and Daddy celebrated their 8th anniversary today. They said their life together keeps getting better every year. Maybe I have something to do with that.
After they ate dinner at a special restaurant, they got dessert at a yummy chocolate cafe. Hmmm...I think they need to take me here sometime. Mommy said my little brother enjoyed it very much.
We share a love of cars and trains.
I've gotten really good at showing off my chipped tooth. That's what I am doing here.
Good friends don't just shake hands-good friends gotta hug!
As you can see in this picture, my little brother is getting very big in Mommy's tummy. I think he enjoyed the hike, too.
We took Shelby with us, and she loved getting in the water and cooling off.
Here are our friends that went on the hike with us.
Kyle came over to go swimming with me today, and boy, did we have a great time! I love my buddy Kyle, I love to go swimming, and I love animal crackers (which is what Kyle shared with me during our little break from the pool). Mommy feels strongly that I need to take a swimming class this summer because I have no fear of the water.

Uncle Tim was kind enough to let us borrow his boat for the weekend. It was my second time out on it, and at first, I was not so sure about it. I immediately started saying "all done". After about 5 minutes of sitting in Mommy's lap, I realized it was kind of fun. At the end, I wanted to drive the boat myself.
This is Tucker, the newest addition to the Fulk family. I'm glad to have another boy around although I love playing with Emma and Gretchen. All weekend if Emma was out of my sight, I'd ask, "Where'd Emma go?" She and Gretchen thought I was quite funny, and I loved making them giggle.
The mommies and a few of the children: Marie and Maddie, Heidi and Tucker, and Mommy with Gretchen. 
The whole gang on the porch of our cabin. All the way home, I kept asking where Emma went. I wish they would all move to Nashville so we could play more often. We'll miss you friends!
Emma, Gretchen, and I practice our innertube skills. Actually, we never got in the lake so this was the extent of the inner tube experience for us. Our daddies did a little innertubing though.

The pool at the resort was not open so our parents decided to turn the heat way down and let us play in the hot tub. What a great idea!! Emma and I especially loved this.
Have you ever tried wearing a life jacket in a hot tub? It works pretty well. By the second day, I understood how to stay above the water, so I didn't have to wear the jacket. It wasn't very deep so I could touch and walk around in the water.
I'm always doing silly things that make Mommy laugh. Yesterday before Mommy dressed me for the day, I found my winter hat from last year and put it on. Then, I got on my bike and said I was going to get some pizza. Of course, I worked up a little thirst and needed to stop for a juice box break.
