January 2011

Not much is new here but I had to drop in to update with a few pictures. We have been trudging along with school, which I enjoy and it is a great way to keep us busy on these rainy winter days. I had a pretty bad cold (since Christmas) so the dr. gave me some antibiotics (the first time I have ever had to take them). Well, I gave my parents a fight and it took a whole jar of Nutella to get the medicine down...whew! I'm missing those chocolate smoothies though, good idea guys!

My dada is in Eugene for the week so I got to attend school with mama on Friday. I had soo much fun! I sat in the rocking chair and "read" stories to one of the "big girls" for a very very long time. I'm really good at making up stories now and was even rhyming my made up stories like I hear sometimes! She loved them and then I colored and drew with another big girl. I sure do miss my dada though. I asked my mom to go get him and take him from his workers the first night. I think we will have to start a countdown chart! Well, here are just a few snapshots of my life lately...

I like to stay in my jammies and these are my favorite "kitty jammies." I was doing an art project with marshmallows!

Playing with my friend Jude! We have missed each other lately!
Another thing I enjoy lately is helping my mom in the kitchen. We made cookies, a cake for my grandma's birthday, and I like to help out with the meals too!

I don't know why I see my brother's face looking like this in all the pictures of me hugging him, I think I'll have to try something else

Mama liked both of these pictures so here they are...

Ta Da!

"Fishing" with my brother

After the beach we always wash up....my brother and I got carried away playing in the water. He jumped around in the puddle so much he had to change all his clothes!

Letter B

This week "B" is for Beach, Books, Bed, and Brother. We have had beautiful, yet very cold weather lately so we have been bundling up and walking to the beach. We are excited the trail is open again (they were working on the park and trail system). My brother and I love it there! I have also been getting use to my big bed, yet still don't want to go to sleep at night. Once I'm asleep I sleep sooo good in my comfy bed though, and my brother loves it too. Sometimes we even read books together in it! Today is Monday and that means back to work for my dada (he worked from home last week), mama and I started school again, and my mama goes to work this afternoon, which means grandma is coming over...my favorite! Have a good week everyone!

I told my mama I was dressing up for Papa who comes home this week

Pushing my brother in our boat (hey, another "B" word!)
Books in Bed

Getting ready to go outside, yes it is about 25 degrees but I still want my pants "rolled up!"

Having fun at the beach in my boots!

Exploring with my bro!

Brrr....look at all the frost!
My brother and I built a fort with my umbrella and gathered a big pile of books to "read"
