Gardens and Slides

It has been a while since my last post so I'll catch you up on the news. First, I love my new swing set! I spend every moment possible in the backyard now. I enjoy it most when someone is out with me, but I can play outside by myself too! Dad has been working on another project, wow he is a busy guy! This time it is a couple vegetable gardens for mom and I! I can't wait to grow something yummy! In between my swing and slide I run over to help him out when he needs it. I am getting so big and helpful!
Something else exciting is that I went to a really awesome place called the Jump Zone for the very first time! My friend Jude just turned 3 and we went to celebrate with him. They have a bunch of really, REALLY big inflatable houses and slides to play on. I had so much fun and was super duper brave! I loved it and am going to ask my mom to go back sometime. That is about all the news for now. I have been taking naps and sleeping a lot, which means I must be growing! I feel great and am happy, which makes everyone happy! Now, we are just waiting for Easter and I can't wait!

Helping with the rake. Step 1!

Jump Zone! Practicing my climbing.
The BIG slide! It was sooo fast!

I had to go home and slide some more!

I went home and climbed my rock wall for the very first time! Thanks Jump Zone!

Ok...back to the garden. Dad...Step 3!

Smoothing out the dirt! This is kinda hard.

Prayer

Momma cut off the beginning but this clip is of my favorite prayer to say before bed, Angel of God. I am thankful for my guardian angel ;)

Super Duper Fun!!!

This weekend my Grandma Bonnie, Papa Jim, Auntie Becky, and Uncle Doug came over from Spokane and my brother had another birthday celebration. Little did Papa and Doug know that Dada had a surprise in store for them - assembling our new playset . Thanks guys for helping out, I love it and will use it as often as I can.

Nice hat you have there Samuel

Strollin' to the park. Hope the hoopsters are there - I brought my ball.
Becky giving me pretty toes to match hers... I was really excited to see her.

Grandma Bonnie took me to this cool park in Lynden.

We had a picnic at the propane plant... just kidding, they are a park sponsor

Grandma and her Granddaughters - I think she's in Heaven here.

Maggie and I having fun at the park.

I sure love hanging out with my friend Maddie. I think we should plan a campout in the fort Maddie...what do you think?

Wow, thanks Dada!!

This is how you get the "Gunk" out of the pond at Grandma Katie and Papa Bob's house.

Do you think this deserves an extra ice cream treat Grandma?

Happy Birthday Brother!

My little baby brother just turned one on Saturday! Sometimes I still call him "My baby," but he really isn't that much of a baby anymore. We had such a fun weekend with family and friends! First, my Auntie Joanie came. I know it was Sam's birthday but I was lucky enough to get a present from her too! On Sam's birthday I decided I must have needed to rest up because I slept until 9:30!! As most of you know, that NEVER happens! So, I was ready to party party! We went to a Saint Patrick's parade before the party and I even got to see some of my friends down there. A few hours later the party began! I had so much fun seeing everyone and celebrating with my brother. Sam, I can't believe you are one already and I know that sometimes I can be a little rough and tough, but I Love You Brother! Happy Birthday!

My new Icecream Machine. Now, only if it were real icecream! (Thanks Auntie)

" Hey Jude, Look at those big horsies!!"
Watchin' with Max and Lucy!
I just love parades....but I do not love the camera.

Birthday love....AKA birthday tackle.

Constructing some cool things with my buddy. I think this lasted a few seconds and then I had to taste the construction.

Ok, I think I may want to try this?? Dadas, can I go in?

This lasted just a few seconds, but it was fun!

Ok boys! Girls are allowed!

Thanks for letting me play boys ;)

Friends and Sunshine!

Wow, what a week! I am sure a lucky girl! A fun week filled with sunshine and friends, but now I feel I may be getting sick. Bummer! We are supposed to go to Mount Baker to play in the snow tomorrow....mom says we'll have to see how I'm feeling. Anyway, I told mom, "I don't feel well." She said, "What hurts?" I then responded with, "My feelings!" I did get my feelings hurt when I got a few things taken away today, but we all had a good laugh with that one! Enjoy the pictures!

Hanging out with Lucy. A few drizzles won't keep up inside!

Teeter Totter with Lucy. Didn't last long but fun while it did ;)

Kiera has a Mr. Potato Head at her house too! We had fun playing together.

Coloring with my friend

Runnig to the beach with Keira

Taking a little break from all the excitement. Never too busy for some Cheerios!

The big kids pushing Elijah on the swing

Fishing in my boat

Park fun!

A new treat...Nutella. Yummy! And I thought peanut butter was good!

Having fun on the boys' swing set!
Bye Bye hugs. Simeon is one of the sweetest boys I know!

A Couple Older Video Clips

My mom can't figure out how to upload video from her new camera or to post from the new computer, hence the slowdown in blog posts ;) Anyway, while cleaning off the old camera she found these dancing videos that she just had to share. Enjoy!
