2010 Spring / Summer Catch up

Oops! This year seemed to get away from me so I am going to attempt to give some "highlights"!






We went to the beach for a week in April for my birthday and had a WONDERFUL time. The crazy weather worked in our favor that week and we had 75 degree days the whole week. We played hard!! We got to fly a kite at Jockey's Ridge, we visited the Aquarium and we were actually able to swim OUTDOORS!

We found out that the local "balloon man" visits one of our favorite pizza places every week so Connor decided that would become a "tradition" in our family.

We went to SC to visit our friends Molli & JJ. While we were there we got to visit the zoo. Connor had a blast hanging out with his new buddy Erin.

Little Cutie!

I'm adorable! Enough said!

More Sledding Fun!

We had lots of fun sledding. I loved pulling the sled back up the hill. Mommy and Daddy would also let me ride the sled by myself and pull me REALLY fast!!

Sleding!

Weeeeeeeeee! There was so much snow the second time it snowed that we went sledding! Mommy and I went down the hill SOOOOOO fast. It was a lot of fun. I was a little nervous but I did it anyway. I can't wait until next year when I can drive ALL BY MYSELF!!

SNOW!

WOW! We got a lot of snow this year. This was the first big snow. I think we got about 7 inches ~ WOAH! We played in it, road in my wagon around the neighborhood and made snow cream ~YUMMY! We tried to make a snowman but it was too icy. Some people in the neighborhood were going down the street on the hill with a sled. It looked fun but really scary!! I love the snow ~ it is so pretty!!

Merry Christmas!

Santa came to see me!!!! He brought me exactly what I asked for. I got a Thomas the train set, a Santa train, a cheeseburger and cash register (McDonalds play set), movies, puzzles, cars, Diego toys, a fishing rod, and much more. I played ALL morning. I LOVE SANTA!!! My uncle David had made me a train table so Santa put my train on that ~ it was perfect. I wonder how long I have to wait until Santa comes again?

Gingerbread House AKA Mickey's House!

Mommy and I made a gingerbread house today! Mommy took care of the construction and once it was a house I DECORATED!!!! I ate lots of the icing and the candy while we were making it ~ YUMMY! Mommy said I did a REALLY good job ~ I was trying really hard!! Isn't it BEAUTIFUL!!!
We have this new elf, Mickey, staying with us until Christmas. He's our "elf on the shelf" and Mommy and Daddy say he reports back to Santa every night so I have to be REALLY good! I made this gingerbread house for him. I'll definitely get good presents from Santa now!!!

All I Want for Christmas!

Mommy and Daddy and I watched Christmas movies this weekend and now I know ALL about Santa. I've been telling him what I want for Christmas and I even wrote him a list. Mommy said she would email him everything to make sure he doesn't miss anything. I can't wait until Santa comes. Mommy says I have to wait until Christmas Eve but I don't even know when that is ~ I hope it's soon. I hope Santa doesn't forget my cheeseburgers!!

PeeeeUuuuuuu! Stinky Pits!

I've seen Mommy and Daddy put deodorant on every day and now I want to!! I know how so I don't know why they won't let me. Here's me showing my skills of applying deodorant.

Santa Visit

Mommy and Daddy took me to see Santa Claus! I was very excited while we were waiting in line and promised Mommy and Daddy I would sit in Santa's lap. Mommy even bought some jelly beans for bribery. When it was my turn I was NER-VOUS!!!! I was so scared to sit in his lap. Once I got down I talked to him and told him what I wanted. I told him "cheeseburger, choo choo train, Diego, baby jaguar, baby dragon, and candy". He said he'd remember and gave me a hat and a coloring book. I really liked Santa and next year I'll do better.

Deck the Halls!

We decorated our tree together and I helped a lot!! I couldn't quite figure out how to hang ornaments so I just laid them on the limb I wanted them on and Mommy fixed them! Our tree is beautiful! Santa is going to LOVE it!

O Christmas Tree!

We picked out a PERFECT tree! There were so many but we picked the BEST one!! Just wait until you see it decorated!!

Thanksgiving ~ Gobble, Gobble!

We went to Alta's for Thanksgiving. Everyone was there, even cousin Reece. We played outside all day. We watered the flowers for a REALLY long time! We had all kinds of food and desserts ~ it was SO yummy!
I am so thankful for my family.

My New Bike!

Gama, Gamama and G Daddy got me a tricycle for my birthday. It is so cool! It's got a bell and a secret compartment for my rocks. It's also got a big bar that goes on the back so Mommy or Daddy can push me if we go for a walk. I figured out how to peddle really quickly.

Chugga chugga choo choo ~ I'm turning 2!!

Whoooohoooo! It's my birthday!!! We had a party and Mommy made a Thomas the train cake. It had train tracks and everything!!! I got so many awesome presents and got to see lots of my family. Mommy and Daddy got me a Thomas the train tent and a JumpOLene and we got to jump in it. It was so much fun. I love birthdays!!

Tick or Treat!

I was a TRAIN ENGINEER for Halloween! I love trains so it was perfect!! Aidan and his Mommy and Daddy came over and we had a Halloween PAR-TAY!! Mommy made a jack-o-lantern cake and Aunt Jamie made chili. We went to the costume contest and stinkin' Robin Hood won :( Then we went trick or treating and we got lots of candy. Aidan and I figured it out pretty quickly. If the light is on knock on the door and they'll give you candy. Some houses even had buckets of candy just sitting on their doorstep ~ nice!!!! Then we went back to our house and watched cartoons in our jammies and had a snack. Mommy was so tired she made a bed on the floor and we pretended to go to sleep! We had such a fun day!

And on that farm they had a..........Connor!

Mommy and Daddy took me to a pumpkin farm so I could pick out my own pumpkin. They had so many cool things to do there. We rode on a hay ride and picked out our pumpkins. We went to see the animals and I fed the goats corn ~ they don't like theirs cooked like we do! They had a big hay slide that I went down a bunch of times ~ it was FAST! They had a hay maze but that was boring because I am so smart and figured it out in like 3 minutes!! I got to "drive" a tractor for a little while ~ it was a red tractor. Then we went and played in the Corn Crib. It was a huge pool of corn. It was like a huge sand box but with corn instead of sand and WAY DEEPER!! You could jump off of hay into the corn and pretend to swim around ~ it was soo fun! I had corn everywhere.

Aren't I cute in my farm gear!!!

First Day of School!

I finally started preschool! This was my first day. I went for a few hours with my Daddy. I loved it ~ I played and played! I think I'm going to learn a lot while I'm there. One of my favorite things is their mini-potty. They have a real toilet but its tiny ~ for tiny hineys!
