At the Phoenix Zoo

On our last day in Phoenix we decided to go to the zoo with our old neighbors, Billy and MacKenzie. It was the perfect day for the zoo.
We got to see the giraffes up close.

There were so many tortoises at the zoo.



This was a big fish, we convinced Daddy to put his finger in the tank hoping a fish would bite him. They swam over to him but not close enough to bite, darn it!!



My family & friends in Phoenix

My Great Uncle Gregg and my Teta (Auntie Joni)


My family at the birthday party!! I love them!!


Nana, Austin and me.

Me and my second cousin Elena, I only sat with her cause she had fruit on her plate. Basically I was using her!! She didn't mind.


My Nana and I!!


This is my cousin Austin


Austin and I jumping in the bouncy thing!! He loved this thing!



These are our friends Jordan and Randee Cottam



Our friends Matt and Jessica Morrison. Daddy looks funny cause he had a little too much to drink!!

My Early Birthday Party

Mommy and Daddy decided that a birthday party for me was a great reason to get all of their friends together at one time. Everyone had lots of fun!!

I stuck my hand in the cake as soon as Mom sat it down. How was I supposed to know any different, that was what was expected from me last year!


As soon as everyone started singing "Happy Birthday" I got so excited/embarassed. I couldn't believe that they were all singing to me!!!

Blowing out the candles... it took me a few tries to figure out what I was supposed to be doing.

I got this kit that had nail polish in it, so I took the liberty to make sure everyone got a manicure.



The cake was really great. I shared my piece with anyone that wanted a bite.


We rented a bouncing thing, all the kids had lots of funny. Daddy and his friends had fun too, they wrestled in it later that night.

Traveling to Phoenix

I look like such a big girl walking through the airport with my backpack, blanket, and baby!

I was a little bit too slow for Daddy, but my legs are a lot shorter than his, he has to learn to walk slower.

This was my brand new coloring book. I think I colored every page before we got off the plane.


It was so late when we got to Phoenix that I was trying to walk around the airport but had a hard time keeping my balance. Daddy kept laughing at me when I fell down.

Hanging Out

I love giving people "wet-willies". My Daddy even taught me to give them to myself, I think it's pretty funny!!

I have such a small finger that I can stick it really far in my ear.


Making funny faces!

Here I am sitting on the couch having a snack...PEAS!!! I choose
peas over crackers almost everyday.

Eating ice cream

Here I am eating my first ice cream cone.
I shoved the last bit in my mouth, and it took me a minute to get it all chewed up. But it sure tasted GREAT!!

Mommy's Birthday

Daddy and I made cupcakes for Mommy's birthday. After we mixed up the batter, Daddy was getting out the liners, and when he turned back around I had picked up the big bowl and was attempting to drink the batter. Needless to say I had to change clothes after that. We were only able to make 10 cupcakes when the box said it makes 22. But we had lots of fun!!

They were trying to get me to decorate the cupcakes by sprinkling the sprinkles on each one, but I had a better idea. I just took the entire bowl and dumped it over one cupcake, and claimed that that was mine!!
Mommy turned around and I shoved that cupcake in my mouth so fast, there was no way she could have stopped me.



We went to dinner at Olive Garden with the Mages' for Mommy's birthday. We went the night before so that Daddy could watch the big football game the night of her real birthday, isn't Mommy nice?!!


Addison got this kitchen for Christmas, I love going over there and playing in it.

Visit from Brayden and Grandma

Grandma and Brayden came up for a few days while Daddy was working out of town. I was trying to get over my cold and having them around made me feel lots better.

Grandma helped us make cupcakes, I had to make sure they tasted ok before anyone else had one.



Brayden was reading me my bedtime stories.


Grandma was trying to teach me how to make snowballs but the snow was too dry. But we still had fun throwing snow at Brayden


Brayden and I playing in the snow.
