Playing ALL Day

Today was busy for me. First thing this morning Jackie picked me up and we went and got Lauren and her friend, Katelyn. Then we played ALL morning. Jackie brought me home for my nap and when I got up, I went swimming with the girls. Later in the afternoon mommy let us play "dress up" with her nightgowns and we had fun!

I am spending the night with Lauren, Katelyn, Jackie and Pop Pop. I am such a big girl!

All dressed up and no where to go!

Ready for the walk in the rain!

Working on the tractor with Daddy

Yes, I really do know how to drive this monster!

Company

I was feeling pretty important over the weekend. First Nana and Poppy came on Saturday to drop Aunt Kate off (she was meeting up with her friend, Jeremy). Aunt Kate brought me some great gifts (see below) and then they went to dinner with me! I had a great time...especially since I got fries!

Then Kate and Jeremy came to dinner last night. Mommy isn't sure what to call Jeremy, so she calls him Aunt Kate's friend, but when she says that she holds up two fingers and make bunnies ears. I don't get it, but she says one day I will.

Anyway, I had a fun time with Aunt Kate and Jeremy. We visited all of the animals and played on the swing set. Then we had dinner together. We had a nice time!

Aunt Kate brought me some great gifts

like my Playhouse sign by
The Monkey's Tale, hair brush
by Herdoos and of course
a Katydid Design headband and belt.

No comments on the hair, but

Aren't I cute?!?!

Busy Morning

I had a very busy morning and it went something like this!
After mommy got home from her bike ride she decided that we needed to give the truck a bath. She was on the phone when she put the soap and sponge outside and didn't notice that I stayed outside with the cleaning products!!! When she returned, I was already busy trying to get ready to bathe the truck. Since it was a full bottle, the soap came out really fast and made a great big puddle!
Mommy wasn't too happy with me, but still let me wash the truck. Since we had so much soap, I thought I better was the dog, the door, the pool pump and yes, even me!!
Mommy was really happy when Lauren (a.k.a. Ren) came by and took me to the swing set. But while we were there, I fell off the swing and busted my lip. I was crying a lot and even had blood in my mouth. But once mommy got me all cleaned up, she offered me ice cream and I stopped crying right away (I especially like Ice Cream Sandwiches and that's what she gave me!).
My morning was topped off with a picnic with Ren and Grandma Jackie (a.k.a. Jackie). We ate lunch in the swing set fort and had a nice time. Thank you Jackie and Ren!

I don't know what mommy was upset
about. I really didn't spill that much soap!

Who me, no I didn't do that!

My Favorite Book

My mommy found this great blog (http://www.jodisorganizedchaos.com) and contest and wanted me to to enter. I have to talk about my favorite book. It was hard for me to decide since I enjoy reading, but I decided on just one!!

My favorite book is Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. My mommy started reading it to me when I was very little. I especially like looking for the little mouse that is hiding on the different pages. At first I had to really look for the mouse, but now I know exactly where he's at!

My mommy also liked Goodnight Moon when she was growing up and wanted to pass it along to me. We enjoy reading it together at night!

If you haven't read Goodnight Moon yet, you are really missing out! Buy it and enjoy!!

Happy Birthday, Uncle Awesome!!

Today my Uncle Awesome turns the BIG 25!! He is the coolest uncle who loves to take me to the beach, lets me jump on beds and even gives me Coke (Mommy says that's really bad...we are a Pepsi ONLY family!).
If you are wondering, his real name is Nathan, but he thought Uncle Awesome would be a way cooler name. I can finally say "Awesome" but it's not easy!

Uncle Awesome, hope you have a great birthday!!!

Isn't he a cutie pie?!?!

Friends, Nana, and A Swing Set!

Today Nana came to visit. I was so happy to see her that I jumped up and down when I heard her van pull up! We spent the morning playing together and setting up a toy bin for ALL of my toys. We even went to WalMart!!
When we came home my friends, Hannah and Cody, were at my house. We swam in the pool and played on my newly finished swing set. We had a really good time. We even played with the bubble machine (thanks Aunt Mindy!!).

The infamous Swing Set!

My friend, Hannah. We share
the same birthdate! Hannah is a couple
hours older!

Walking with Nana! Someone has to
show her the way!

Bubbles, bubbles, and more bubbles!

Trouble On Canevari Lane

It is usually very quiet at our house, but not today. Daddy had ordered for some dirt to be delivered for my swing set. Everything was fine until the first truck hit some soft grass and started to sink. The second truck tried to pull him out, but it only made it worse. Finally, a BIG front-end loader (I think that's what it's called!) came to pull it out. I got to watch the whole thing, well, no not really. I was playing in the sand and Mommy watched the whole thing and took pictures! She kept on saying, "this will be great for your blog!"
But the trucks made a BIG mess. Our yard is really torn up and Mommy says that it won't be fun to mow the grass now. I guess my swing set it turning out to be a big ordeal!

A Swingset for Lilly

I am so excited! I've been wanting a swing set for a LONG time and finally I am getting one! One of daddy's workers started it on Friday and then daddy and mommy worked on it ALL day yesterday. I helped out too, but then I had to go to Jackie's house because I was getting into trouble. For some reason mommy and daddy didn't like me dumping out the screws and pouring water on them.

It's not done yet, but at least I can play in my fort! Mommy says that they picked a really bad time to build a swing set. It was really hot yesterday like over 95 degrees...whatever that means! And today mommy is pretty tired and has a bad sunburn. She keeps on saying she doesn't know how daddy works out in that heat!

Here are a few pics of my day! I will have mommy post the swing set picture tomorrow. Daddy and mommy stopped when it was dark, so the picture didn't turn out!

Checking out the progress!

"I can do it too!"

Look at me! One day I will have my own tools!

What does this button do?

Look at me, I'm a big help!

Posing on the job!

Daddy, smile! Aren't you having fun?

Mommy and me working hard!

I'm a princess! That's what I said when I looked out my castle window!

Pop Pop was being silly with the drill!

Company

Today I had some very special friends come a visit. My mommy grew up with their mommy and so they've known eachother for a long time. They own property close to my house, so them came to visit.
I had so much fun playing with Taylor and Trent. I showed them all of the animals and we even rode Pettie, until he threw Taylor off!! We swam in the pool for a long time too and then had lunch. Mommy made me a sandwich, but I just ate the cheese and ham!
I hope they come to visit again soon!

Bad Hair Day

Mommy always complains about my hair in the morning. She says it's just like my Aunt Kate's, but I don't know what that means. All I know is that is has a mind of it's own and is a little wild, kinda like me!

This morning mommy wanted to take a pic of my bad hair and I just didn't want to pose. In fact I was trying to run away and hide and she kept on following me and taking pictures. "MOMMY, NO." Here are a few she was able to get!

This one says it all!

Family and Pets

I wanted to introduce some of my friends, family, and pets to you!

This is my daddy! Once in a while he plays dress up with me!

I am taking a nap with my Nana! She and Poppy live in WestP alm Beach, so I don't get to see them all the time. But I love seeing them and talking to them on the phone!

Swimming with my cousins, Kassie, Louie and Lauren

Hanging out with Kassie

Swimming with Lauren

This is Grandma's goat, Baxter. This is when he was only a couple of weeks old. Now he's much bigger and eats everything!

I am holding some chics that are now full grown and VERY big! I liked holding them when they were little!

Daddy wants me to be a hunting girl, but mommy says "NO". And yes, I am holding a dead duck, yuck!

This is my grandma's dog, Kieko. I know he's really mine. I love to hold him, especially by the neck or legs. I torture him all the time, but he still loves me!

This is Pettie. Grandma bought him for us. He is very nice and friendly and sometimes I feel like riding on him, but not all the time. I like taking him for walks better!
