HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2006!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

We want to send extra special Thanksgiving wishes out to Nana, DziaDzia and Uncle Pat in Alabama and Uncle John in Rome. We wish you all were here!

This Thanksgiving we spent the day at Grandma and Papa's house. We had 24 guests for dinner. We had a very special event happen on Wednesday...Aunt Amanda's boyfriend (who is visiting us for Thanksgiving) PROPOSED!!!

Our new Uncle Josh is the coolest! He does magic tricks and pulled a ball out from behind my ear! How'd he do that?!?!

Here is another picture of Uncle Josh and Aunt Mandy...because they are just THAT cute!

We also got to play with Uncle Jim and his girlfriend Lindsay. She is a 2nd grade teacher and lots n lots of fun. I wish she didn't live so far away though.

A Thanksgiving Feast!

Abby liked her carrots and ham the most!

Of COURSE I sat with Sara...she is my favorite ya know!

Abby LOVES to play with cousin Rachel.

I like it when cousin Joe reads me a story...he is taller than Aunt Susan now and comes up to my mommy's eyes!

It just wouldn't be a holiday without a picture of Daddy and cousin Katie.

Thanksgiving at preschool.

We had our Thanksgiving feast at preschool yesterday. It was very fun and I wore the neat headband I had made...I have a lot to be thankful for.

Time Out! zzzzzzzzz

Mommy and I were having a little battle of wills over me picking up my toys. So I was in timeout and when the timer went off Mommy came to get me and found me sound asleep...don't ask her what time I ended up waking up!

Rain Rain Go Away...

It started raining here in Oregon. It hasn't rained in a LONG time. I like the rain...so I pulled Abby's chair up to the back window so I could watch it while I had a snack.

Abby's Hat

Mommy likes me in this hat...It is very cute.

Where is Abby?

One day we were all in the livingroom and Daddy looked over at the breakfast nook and saw two little feet sticking out from the curtains. He got the camera and took the picture. Then he said "where's Abby?" and we heard lots of giggling from behind the curtain.

...Nana? Did you picture this when you made us those curtains? :)

Halloween...uhhhhhhmm...

You can't make me wear my Ladybug costume if I don't want to!

...there is a reason why there are NO pictures of Michael in his fireman costume either...oh well!

End of Fall Fun!

One day we lost all the leaves on our tree. All at once. So Mommy and Grandma took Abby and I out to play in the leaves. They were dry and we had lots of fun!

Michael - 3 years old

Nothing to say except....dang!...I'm cute!!!

CHEESE!!!!

Mommy forgot to add this to the pumpkin patch post. She said "Michael! Look at Mommy!" and I looked at her and said "CHEESE!" - I'm such a ham! HAM!

The Pumpkin Patch...a muddy experience...

My preschool took a field trip to the pumpkin patch today. Mommy and Abby came too. It was very rainy and muddy but we had lots of fun.
They had this water pump thingy and you could pump it and water would come out and go down a little trugh. They put little toy duckies in there too and we raced them by who could pump the fastest.
Abby really liked the big sandbox of corn. Lamby liked it too.
I liked to climb to the top of the haystack - I'm the KING!
I found a perfect pumpkin for Abby.
"Here you go Abby"
Now THIS is a pumpkin!
Abby liked to balance Lamby on the pumpkin stem.
Abby doesn't like to be muddy and she cried when Lamby fell in the mud but I told her it was OK and she gotted over it.

Everyone got baths when we got home - it was lots n lots of fun though!

Quiet Mornings...

In the morning I like to sit in the big bean bag and drink my baba and hold Lamb and Puppy...Life is good...

Chillin' with Daddy...

Just a girl...Her Dad...and an ipod

...oh...and a flashlight.

Silly Michael!

I think it is very funny to put the oven mits on my feet and walk around.

Fun with Cousin Katie!

On September 29th cousin Katie came over to play with us. She just turned 8 years old. She is lots of fun to play with.
Ahhhhhhhh - Cute Cousins! - time for me to get them!

Here I Come!
Make room for me!

Katie knows A LOT about little sisters so I let her do my hair! She did a great job!!! Mommy says that Katie was my age when Mommy and Daddy got married...wow! That was a LONG time ago.

Talking to Nana!

End of Summer Fun - Goodbye Uncle John!

Okay - so this is very very very late! Uncle John left at the beginning of September!!!! But here are some very cute pictures Aunt Fessy took at Uncle John's going away party. We all went to Uncle Douglas (the fireman) and Aunt Kathy's house.

I like to go down the slide! Mommy's cousin Jennifer is super cool and made sure that I had lots n lots of fun!!!
I'm a dinosaur!!! *RRROOOAAARRR* Look at THIS COOL TOY!!! I had lots of fun playing with Joe and mommy's cousin John (different than Uncle John).

"Hey Sawa...wanna go for a ride!"

Uncle Douglas has a motorcycle. He letted us get on and pretend to drive around! How cool is THAT!!!

Mommy and Daddy got to see Penny and we didn't *grrrrrr*

So while Mommy and Daddy were at Notre Dame they got to see Penny. Why do THEY GET TO HAVE ALL THE FUN!!!!

Mommy and Daddy Crash Chi-town!

Mommy and Daddy, Aunt Kelly and Uncle Ray went to Chicago and South Bend on September 15-17. They went to watch Notre Dame vs Michigan and got to see the Bears vs Detroit. The above picture was the view from their hotel room in Chicago.
The Golden Dome at Notre Dame - Daddy takes really good pictures.
Daddy and Mommy before the game (before it all went horribly wrong!).

They sat in the South endzone with all the Michigan fans. It wasn't the most fun section to sit in...Mommy says she knows more Michigan cheers than she cared to know - furious brain scrubbing ensued.

This is Soldier Field in Chicago. This is where Daddy's favorite NFL team, the Chicago Bears, play. Abby and I can now sing the "Bear Down Song." Mommy says if she can get us to do it on tape she'll put it on the blog.

The fearsome foursome had really nice seats for the Bears game. It was nice to cheer for the winning team this time!

Mommy and Daddy had a really good time just the two of them. If you were wondering what we did while Mommy and Daddy where gone...well...we had a big party at Dama and Papa's house. Our 5 cousins and us had sleep over - 7 kids under the age of 12 was big fun for Dama and Papa!!
