BOO!!

2011-11-08T22:55:00.000-08:00

I was able to celebrate Halloween several times this year. At daycare we had a Halloween party. We ate pizza, cheese puffs, and cupcakes. We also made ghosts, bats and pumpkins. My friend Ryder and I played enjoyed getting our face painted.

I celebrated again at Steve & Tara's house on Friday night. Everyone was invited and asked to dress up. We decorated cookies, made spider rings, colored Halloween pictures and ate dirt pie filled with worms. I had fun playing on Sadie and with all my friends that came.

On Halloween, Daddy picked me up from daycare to take me home to get ready. He even did my makeup. When Mommy got home we went to Steve & Tara's get start the hay ride. We rode all around going trick or treating. We visited the nursing home and the downtown carnival. I received tons of candy but most of it didn't make it home ( because mommy and daddy got into my bag). I was so upset when the ride was over. I didn't want to go home yet. I cried the whole way home begging to go back on the hayride. I guess it was for the best because when we got home I was very tired and went straight to sleep.

Camping Trip

2011-10-15T20:12:00.000-07:00

We went camping this weekend. We went fishing, went for walks, watched football ( of course), had a campfire and made S'mores ( which I didn't want anything to do with). We brought little fish to catch the big fish and Daddy showed my how to put it on the hook. I continued to let him do that for me. I like to put my hand in the bucket but I never could catch one of the little fish, they swim to fast for me.

My friend Haylee even stayed the night with us one night. Thanks Uncle Andy and Aunt Ashley for letting us borrow the camper. We have a lot of fun!!!

On the boat again....

2011-10-01T20:23:00.000-07:00

We have been on the boat all summer but this was one of the last times we got to ride. Notice no bathing suits, the water is already getting cold. I love when Daddy let me drive and sit in his captains chair. It was very calm on the water today. There was not many people out, so we had a peaceful day of riding and enjoying the scenery.

The day after the wedding we went to Steve & Tara's lake house and went out on their boat. We also took the sea dos out for the ride. Grama and Aunt Sharron rode the intertube, then it was Uncle Jamie's turn and Aunt Cynthia and Emily rode with him. It was also the first time Aunt Cynthia rode a sea do. We all enjoyed ourselves, wish we could do this more often!!

I received books, clothes,a big pink ball, bubbles, and a toy dog. O yea, and don't forget my princess chair. Then we all played on the slides, swings and jungle gym that was at the park. So much fun. Thanks to all my family and friends for the gifts.

18 Month Check Up

2011-02-03T07:59:00.000-08:00

Today I had to go see my Dr. for my 18 month check up. I now weigh 20lbs 14oz and I am 31.5 in tall. My Dr. was happy about my weight so I no longer have to have pedisure. He also said that I am right on track for my age( I have hit all the milestones on time), but Mommy and Daddy think that I am way smarter than I should be. : ) I know all my body parts and a couple animal sounds. My vocabulary is about 30-35 words.I still eat just about anything that I can fit into my mouth. I have 12 teeth and a dentist appointment in March. I'll let you know how that goes.
I like watching SpongeBob Square Pants, he is my favorite cartoon. My favorite toys are my baby dolls, my rocking horse, books, and my Cozy Coup. O Yea and SHOES I LOVE SHOES.

Happy Turkey Day!!!!

2010-11-29T21:23:00.000-08:00

For Thanksgiving we went to see all of our family and friends in Michigan. It was a long drive so I slept most of the trip. I spent time with grandparents, uncles and aunts, cousins and family friends. It was VERY cold, a lot different than what I am used to, but there was not a lot of snow. We did all kinds of fun things while we were there. Us "girls" went to an art & craft show and a parade where I got to decorate a gingerbread man. Emily, Javus and I played hard and got into some trouble at grandma's house..... there was so many things to play with??? Grandma bought me a new book and recorded the story for me so I will remember her voice. And then it was time to come home. I was awake for more of the trip on the way home so we stopped often for me to get out and run around a bit.
I'm not sure when I will get to go back but I hope it is soon.

BEEautiful

2010-11-01T19:44:00.000-07:00

I was a BEE for Halloween.This is my first year (last year they say I dressed up but I don't remember). I had alot of fun. We went on a hay ride and "trick or treating". I received lots of candy but mommy and daddy will not let me have a lot. PLUS, daddy has already ate half of it. We went back to Steve and Tara's house after all the activies and I got to play with all the kids there including cousin Lucas while mommy painted Aunt Jaz' belly to look like a pumpkin. We ate lots of good food and I tried something they called " dirt pie" IT WAS YUMMY!!!! I would like to have that everyday!

I can't wait for next Halloweem.

The Great Pumpkin Patch

2010-10-22T13:39:00.000-07:00

We went to the pumpkin patch today. We took pictures with the pumpkins, visited the animals at the petting zoo, rode a pony and went for a hay ride. It was great. I loved the petting zoo the most. I was also very interested in the HUGE blow up slide they had but daddy and mommy said I was too small. Maybe next year....

Playing with Alyssa

2010-10-22T13:29:00.000-07:00

We went to Uncle Ryan and Aunt Jaz' house to play for a while. It is a very pretty day so Alyssa and I played outside.

WAR TIDE????

2010-10-19T11:18:00.000-07:00

As most of you know I live in a split house hold. Mommy is an AUBURN fan and Daddy is an ALABAMA fan. On game days they have a hard time deciding what I am going to wear. So............. for the Auburn game I wear orange and blue and then for the Alabama game I change into crimson and white. If they play at the same time I get to wear to pink. Just wait next year I will be able to tell them what I want to wear and that will make Saturday morning a lot easier. WAR EAGLE & ROLL TIDE!!

This looked like a nice place to play.............

2010-10-13T09:21:00.000-07:00

Daddy, mommy and I went to a couple friends house. I wanted to play outside and I found this big flower pot full of dirt. It looked pretty safe.... the dirt is inside there...I really can't get dirty...... I'll just take this stick and play. It was so fun. I was playing in this pot for a while when I uncovered something shiny in all that dirt. I reached ..... and reached.. and the next thing I knew I fell head first into this huge pot. I was trying to get out and crying for help. Mommy helped me out and I was covered from head to chest with dirt, in my eyes, up my nose, in my mouth and all over my dress. Everyone laughed after they realized that I was okay but they would not let me play in the dirt anymore??

MaKayla's 1st Birthday

2010-08-20T21:43:00.000-07:00

My first trip the beach!!

2010-07-19T13:53:00.000-07:00

I went to the beach for the first time. The weather was awesome and no oil had reached Panama City Beach. There was people walking the beach 24/7 looking for tar balls, none found as far as I know. I had fun other than running a fever for two days and then breaking out in a horrible rash! I liked playing in the sand with Haylee. Most of all, I liked to destroy the sand castles that everyone had made. I had my first taste of salt water and it wasn't very good. I also tried " AL E. GATOR" and crab, not bad at all. I would definitly go back to the beach, maybe next time without getting sick.

Hope you all enjoyed the 4th, we did.....

2010-07-10T21:49:00.000-07:00

Just a few pictures from the 4th of July. I had fun hanging out at the pool with Lucas and Haylee, and I really enjoyed the fireworks.

Happy 4th of July!!!

2010-07-03T17:50:00.000-07:00

We are at the pool, waiting on the fireworks!!! Makayla is loving the pool.... can't get her out. I will post pictures soon. We are having so much fun. We are hanging out with good friends..... Haylee and Makayla are besties and the weather is awesome. Can't ask for anything more!!!

My first camping trip

2010-05-02T12:18:00.000-07:00

Daddy and Mommy took me to Guntersville State Park to camp for the weekend. I liked being outside all day. I had lots of fun and I experienced more "first". I seen a lot of new animals and tasted dirt for the first time. Haylee thought that since she was having so much fun playing in the dirt that I should get to play with dirt too. So she put a couple piles of dirt in the tray of my walker. I really like it. I sat really quite playing in the dirt so that no one would know what I was doing. When mommy and daddy found it I had already tried a bite. Not bad.

We also went for a couple strolls in the park at night, looking for deer and other wildlife. We didn't see any deer but I did get to check out ducks, squirrels, ANTS and a crane. We had tons of fun and I am sure that we will be going back soon.

My first fishing trip

2010-05-02T12:01:00.000-07:00

This is pictures of my first fishing trip. Daddy was trying to teach me how to fish but I was too interested in all the sounds. I like the sound of the water and the boats taking off. I did get to see a fish that Heather caught, that was really neat.

9 month check up

2010-04-27T13:55:00.000-07:00

Today I am 9 months old, and had to go to the doctor for a check up. I am now 15 lbs 15 oz and 26.5 in long. The doctor said that I was looking great. I didn't have to get shots this time but I did have my finger pricked so that they could do a blood count. The doc said it was good too. I don't like having a band aid on my finger. I have tried everything to get it off. I don't have to go back until I am 1 year old..... which is just around the corner. My second tooth has started to come in so I have been a little irritated by it but not to bad. I am learning new things everyday so I will keep you updated on my new adventures. Bye Bye for now!

2010-04-22T18:37:00.000-07:00

Sorry Its been so long... I have a lot of new things going on. I have one tooth and starting to talk all the time. I can say DADA ( which was my first word), bye bye, and hi. I am pulling myself up and holding on to what ever I can grab onto to help me stand up. I know how to wash my hands and play peek-a-boo. I love being out side and walking in my walker. But most of all I LOVE FOOD.... any food... what ever someone feeds me I get, well expect for melon. My favorite is oatmeal and sweet potatoes. I will be going back to the Dr. in a few days for my 9 month check up so I'll let you know more then..... LOVE YA!
