Happy Birthday Dada!

Happy Late Valentine's Day!

Happy Saint Valentine's Day (Late)! We had a fun weekend and now Lent has begun. I am excited for the season and am counting down the days until Easter.

Showing Dada my Yoga moves before church

Posing with Mama..not many shots with her! (She's usually behind the camera)
Opening a surprise in the mail from Grandma Bonnie and Papa Jim! (Check out my tongue!)
Still working at it ;) I got a super neat book with googly eyes and lots of yummy homemade treats! Thank you!!

Fun, Fun, Fun!

I have been having a lot of fun lately. Sam is finally getting better so we have been trying to get outside and enjoy this rare and sunny February weather. Last weekend was the Superbowl so my friends Jude and Elijah came over so their parents could watch the game and we played. Also, my cousin Maggie came over this week so we could make Valentines and decorate yummy cookies. We always have fun together and I love seeing my Uncle Kevin. This weekend my (great) Auntie Colleen and Pedro are coming and Saint Valentine's Day is also coming. More fun!!

Mom found some football pictures for us to color and I got some new markers!

Jude and I playing....I think this was when we were playing our guitars.
Running to the mailbox

This swing is still a little big for me but it sure looks fun!

So happy to have Maggie here to paint with!!

Maggie's frame looked soo pretty!
My favorite....painting my hands by myself!
Mmm...this sure was fun!
Hanging out
Maggie liked the frosting and cookies too!
One of my favorite things to do is walk along beams...mom should get me back in gymnastics!
Playing on the boat at the park

You may have seen Sam's post about everyone feeling better and us getting out in the warm weather. I for one am back to my old self - sometimes mischievous, sometimes temperamental, but mostly loving and adorable. I'm also working on ditching my binkie and only have it for bedtime now - I even made it through church today without incident. I did have my 'pretend binky', but Dada said pretend binkies are ok in church.

What a cool sunset at the beach near our home. Rumor has it they are going to build a whole new park here - I can't wait!!

Maybe if I create a distraction, I can sneak a little closer to the water
Mom took me to an art class at the Co-op. Such fun times

I wonder what happens if I mix some blue with the red???

Uh, that purple paint was on the table when I got here - I promise

Glue stick and chapstick look very similar, but don't taste similar. Just kidding, I know the difference without having to taste them

Just being playful at the park

My best diva impression - no these aren't Mom's glasses

Winter Flu

Day 10 and I think I may live! Wow, this sickness lasted a long time and thank goodness it is on its way out. I got it first, then gave it to my brother and dada. Thank goodness my momma stayed somewhat healthy so she could take care of all of us. So for the last ten days (of which were sunny and very warm!) I have been doing art, hanging out on the couch, and watching some videos. I can't wait to see my friends again and get outside!

Two of my most favorite things! Binkie and Blankie!!

Making Grandma a birthday card. I got a new table this week too!

Painting on my easel. Blue is my favorite color still.
Hanging out in brother's room. Good night stories together.

Yesterday I finally got to enjoy some fresh air and amazing January weather. The twisty slide is so fun!

Big Girl!

I just wanted to share.....I am wearing panties!! Can you believe it? I am on day 3 with no accidents and am loving being such a big girl! (I'm still working on Number 2...don't tell ;)

Play date with my buddy Jude. He's a big boy too!!

Spokane's Christmas

Christmas came twice for me this year...I guess I must have been a good girl ;) We went to Spokane on Saturday for 4 days to visit the family and celebrate the holiday with them. I had a great trip over and my reputation for a good traveler wasn't changed. My brother even did better! Once we got there we got to open more presents. I got to see my Auntie Becky and Uncle Doug too! My cousin Maggie was even there! Wow, I saw so many family members and I have to say, I sure am loved! We spent one day in downtown Spokane having a lot of fun! I can't wait for our next trip!

Look at this bear! I was quite confused by the cries and sounds but I fed him and he went to sleep! Fun! Thanks Pam, Brian, Carlee, and Tayler.

Auntie Becky and Uncle Doug got me these Elmo hands! They tickle!
My parents got me a feeding set for my babies and I just had to take it to Spokane with my babies.

Snuggling with Grandma and Maggie while we watched Wonderpets (my favorite!) There wasn't a lot of sleeping going on!

We went to Grandma's work and saw her new office!

I got to go down the huge slide at the park!

See how huge it was?

What would a Spokane Blog post be without a picture of me on the carousel?

Maggie and I were holding hands in our bright yellow taxi strollers. Thanks Grandma...I really liked this!

Great Grandpa hosted a wonderful dinner at his church and Auntie Becky bought Maggie and I these really neat dollies that I can dress. We played with them for a long time!

More snuggling with Maggie!

I had a great time in Spokane! Thank you to all my family for the gifts and good times! I love you all!
