Picnic Fun!

A few weeks ago Daddy's work had a BIG OL' PICNIC! It was lots of fun. They had horse drawn wagons that took you from your car to the picnic. They also had air brush tatoos (we didn't get one because the line was too long), ballons, music, bingo, remote controled car racing, a mechanical bull (we REALLY didn't go on that one! It was WAY scary), food and lots of circus type treats: fresh kettle corn, corn on the cob, cotton candy and snow cones. We really liked the snow cones and the hot dogs. Aunt Krissy came also to help Mommy and Daddy "wrangle" us.

Iceys are yummy!

We had fun feeding the ducks our Kixs

Art by Michael

I LOVE to draw and paint.



This is a picture of an elephant (in case you couldn't tell).




Coming soon - my latest masterpiece: a lion!


I really like Blue's Clues. I LOVE to go around and find my own clues and put them in my notebook.

A few weeks ago there was a new episode where Blue looks for his new baby brother. The clues that they looked for were: 1-different colors, 2-spots, 3-"Puppy" (the word). A few days later Mommy was cleaning up my desk and found this page in my notebook. I did this from memory - not during the show.

Mommy especially likes my picture of a puppy (which was not on the original show). It is what the 3 clues added up to.

Another Creation by Michael...

Michael, The Master Builder!

"Mommy look! I built a city!"

"Sing us a song, you're the piano girl"

Sometimes after dinner I like to entertain Mommy and Daddy and Michael by playing a little tune on our piano. I'm very good. Do you like my bear backpack? I wear it all the time!

Class of 1996 Reunion!

Mommy had her 10 year high school reunion at the end of July. One day there was a picnic at the park. Lots of Mommy's classmates came and brought their kids. We played on the swings a lot. Mommy also brought our big bubble blower. That was a big hit.

I like to swing with Mommy.

Daddy likes to swing too - look how HIGH he goes!

This is my friend Jacob. He is Auntie Amanda's (Mommy's best friend) little boy.
He is 3 months older than me. He is lots of fun to play with.

Auntie Jenney (Mommy's other best friend) is VERY good at pushing on the swings.

Mommy thinks I look very sweet here.

Reading is Fun!

Mommy and Daddy took us out for yummy mexican food. Afterwards we went to the "libary" to check out some books. I found some Maisy books that Abby and I really like! While we were at the 'libary' there was a puppet show. Abby and I really liked watching the puppet show.


Do you see the little couch we are sitting on? My Papa and Dama gave it to me for my birthday. It folds out to a little bed and has a sleeping bag. It is a very popular spot in the house now.

Dental Health is VERY Important!

I believe that you cannot brush your teeth too much. Therefore I brush mine whenever I can! I like to stand on my stool and brush my teeth in the bathroom. I have lots of teeth now and it is important for a girl to keep them as white and shiney as she can.

So Sleepy!

I was so tired!!! but also very hungry!!! So Mommy gave me a Gogurt (YUM!) and I was eating it while sitting with Mommy and all of a sudden........ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
