Happy New Year!

Tonight we went over to Zach & Tessa's house for a New Year's Eve party. We had pizza and Becca had hats for us to decorate with stickers. Some of them even glow in the dark! It was so much fun playing with everyone and I went to bed way too late, but it was worth it.

More Fun At Gymnastics

Today was another fun day at gymnastics. Daddy took some video of me today. Enjoy!

It's Christmas! (#2)

Merry Christmas! I had so much fun this year! I had to wake up Mommy with a kiss this morning to get her going. Mommy & Daddy sleep in a tent in front of the Christmas tree every year. Mommy thinks it's a bit silly, but Daddy insists on it every year. Maybe one year I'll get to sleep in a tent too!

The first gift we open is the smallest one under the tree. Guess what it was? Baby Jesus! Because He is the greatest gift of all! I got to put Him in the manager.

I was so excited to open presents, everyone had to restrain me from opening everyone else's too. After we opened presents at our house, we went over to Grandpa & Grandma's for the rest of the day. I received more fun construction stuff. I think I will be entertained for a long time! Papa sent me this cute sweater that I am wearing in front of our Christmas tree.

Fun With Friends

Today Daddy invited some friends over to play. We had a lot of fun playing in my room and outside today. Thanks for coming over!

Gymnastics!

On Monday's Daddy takes me to Santa Barbara Gymnastics. We stretch, jump on the trampoline, walk on a balance beam, do flips on a bar, do somersaults, go on a zip line and much more! It's lots of fun!

It's Christmas! (#1)

Today with celebrated Christmas with Nana, Opa, Uncle Chris, Aunt Stephanie and Madisen. Nana & Opa are leaving for Arizona tomorrow and won't be here on Christmas, so we had breakfast for everyone at our house this morning. Then Madisen and I got to open our presents from Nana & Opa. They gave me some fun construction vehicles, cars and helicopters, a puzzle, a blanket and a few other things. This is the first year that I've figured out Christmas stuff. I love the lights and the presents. So much fun. I love playing with my Little People nativity set too. Thanks for coming over today and for all the great presents!

Swing!

Nana & Opa each take one arm and one leg and swing me high over their heads. I love it! Everytime they finish, I say "Do it again" or "One more time."

A Fun Morning with Nathaniel!

This morning Nathaniel came over to play with me. We had a blast playing with construction toys, airplanes, tools and singing. We had lunch together and laughed the whole time. The cool thing was he wore a shirt that I have too, so we got to be twins for the day. I hope he can come over again soon.

Jingle Bells

I've been learning to sing Jingle Bells and now it's one of my favorite songs to sing. I can sing it over and over again. Today I even made Daddy call people so I could sing it to them over the phone.

Christmas Party!

Tonight we went to a Christmas party at Kylie and Nathaniel's house. As usual our Mommies tried to get a good group picture, but it's hard to get us all to look at the camera and smile at the same time, plus I kept trying to escape. Sorry Mommy! We had a lot of fun playing together though. We successfully destroyed both Kylie and Nathaniel's rooms with toys everywhere! I did help clean up a little bit before I went home though. We also got to make Christmas trees out of ice cream cones, frosting and m&m's. Mine turned out pretty good. I put lots of m&m's on it. It tasted pretty good too! Thank you for having us over tonight!

King of Light

Mommy sang in the choir and rang handbells this weekend at church. Daddy and I went and watched the performance today, along with Grandma, Grandpa, Nana, Aunt Stephanie, Uncle Chris & Madisen. I even got Mommy to hold me during one of the sing-along songs when she stood in the aisle. I've missed Mommy this week, since she's been at church all week. Then they threw "snow" and I had fun playing with it until the show was over. Good job Mommy!

Bubble Time

Daddy made a ton of bubbles in my bath today. (Actually it was Mommy's bath, but I kind of took over, when I saw the amount of bubbles in there). I had so much fun putting bubbles on my head and splashing around in the tub.

O Christmas Tree

Today we went to Home Depot and picked out our Christmas tree. I was more interested in picking up the pine needles on the ground, but it was fun to get our tree too. Daddy got it set up in our living room, and Mommy put the lights on it while I took my nap. Now I can come into the living room and turn on the lights, since Mommy showed me how.

Happy Thanksgiving!

For Thanksgiving we went to Nana & Opa's house for dinner. I had fun playing with backhoe's and dump trucks and with Opa and Madisen on the trampoline. Then I even got to have some pumpkin pie for dessert. Hmmmm, yummy! Then on Friday we went to Grandpa & Grandma's to celebrate Thanksgiving with them.

Just Reading Some Books

Daddy came into my room today and found me reading my books. My favorite ones have pictures of backhoe's and construction vehicles in them.

Stunt Man In Training

Daddy and I were playing around today. We had so much fun. He was pretending to hit me with a pillow and I'd fall over. I'm a pretty good actor don't you think?

Bike Training

Daddy got a bike trainer from a friend to help get his knee back in shape after the surgery he had last month. We thought it would be fun to hook my bike up to it so I could "train" too. Have to start getting ready for a triathlon you know.

Peanut Butter Jelly Time

Daddy is teaching me how to make my own peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. It's one of my favorites. It's one of Daddy's favorites too! So yummy! Best part is licking the knife when we're done.

SB Zoo With Matt

Today Daddy & I took Matt to the zoo with us. I had so much fun pushing Matt down the big hill. It's made of fake grass so it's really great to slide down. Thanks for coming with us Matt!

Future Gymnast

I love jumping off stuff. Doesn't really matter what - couches, walls, beds. It's all fun. Today I jumped off the wall and grabbed onto my play structure. I think I might do well on the uneven bars. Maybe I should take some classes....

All Clean & Cozy

After taking a shower today, Daddy wrapped me up in a big towel. It's a good way to keep warm after getting clean. Besides, I look cute all wrapped up.

Picture Perfect

Daddy always asks me "Are you cute?" and I'll say "Yes, I am!" Then he'll ask "Did God make you?" and I'll say "Yes, He did!" Mommy took this picture at just the right moment. I think it's her favorite at the moment.

Funny Daddy

Daddy is so funny. He was making me laugh so hard today. Mommy wanted to catch me on camera laughing, but (of course) I stopped once she got the camera out. I love my Daddy. He's so fun.

Trick or Treat

I wasn't too sure about the whole "trick or treat" thing. Thought it was a little weird to go knock on people's doors at nighttime, but after about 5 or 6 houses I didn't want to stop. I kept telling Mommy "one more house." It was so much fun. Mommy even let me eat a couple pieces of candy. Yummy!

Halloween Party

Tonight we went to the White's for a Halloween Party. It was fun to play with friends. I wasn't too sure about the whole costume thing. I only put mine on when Daddy bribed me with pumpkin pie. Once again it was hard to get a good picture of all of us, but we're a pretty cute bunch. From left to right is Zach, Kylie, Tessa, Nathaniel and me!

Pumpkin Patch!

After Mommy got off of work today, we went to the Pumpkin Patch. I was so excited to finally go. Every time we drive by it I exclaim "pumpkins!" I got to pump water, go on the hay ride, see lots of pumpkins, sit on a tractor, and pet some farm animals. The hay ride was so much fun I made Mommy go twice. Thanks for taking me!
