Summer Fun

Mom got to school a couple minutes early and was able to see me playing on the playground and lining up to go back into the room. I'm the second girl in line wearing the purple dress. If you could see us walk you'd know it was me cause I'd be "bee-bopping" on my way back into the school. I always walk on my tip toes and am constantly "bee-bopping" everywhere I go.
This is my new favorite funny face to make!!

TOUCHDOWN!!!

(Ok not really I think he was just excited, but it looks like he's doing touchdown!!)

Randomly I decided that I wanted to wear "Notre Dame" so of course I made Mom put Notre Dame on Kellen. I spent the whole day telling people that I was gonna "go to football with Daddy". Mom says that none of that is true, I just wanted to wear Notre Dame... is it almost football season though!!

Randomly last Thursday we were all playing outside and a couple parents decided to order pizza and before you knew it there were 8 families that wanted in on the pizza order. So everyone brought over their picnic tables and someone made lemonade and we sat down for a neighborhood pizza party. I have the best neighbors, where else would you have a Thursday night pizza party that was put together in a matter of 30 minutes.

After the pizza us girls got to jump on the trampoline!!!

My first day of school

I started school this week!!! I have been looking forward to this for so long. I didn't even think twice about running into my classroom. I basically just ran in, looked back and said "BYE MOM".

This is my teacher Mrs. Carlisle. Her husband drives the school bus, but they won't let me start riding it for another couple weeks. Everyday when I get into the car I ask Mom if I can ride the bus. I'm pretty sure Mom wants me to ride the bus just as bad as I do!!
Here I am on the first day of school. I refused to take my sunglasses off cause I didn't want the sun in my eyes. Don't you LOVE my princess backpack? I do!!

After the first day Mom took me to get some new shoes... who knew that I wasn't supposed to wear flip flops to school??! That is the only kind of shoes that I own. But we found some shoes that will go with all my dresses. Mom is just gonna have to get over the fact that they are gonna get dirty. After I came home the first day it looked like I had been wearing those shoes for months. She keeps telling me that I'm not supposed to kick the rocks but it's so much fun!!

Kellen sure does get excited when I get back in the car after school. I think he misses me!! He gets so excited kicking his feet and talking to me!!

These are my projects that I brought home this week. We also got to go to the Library, the computer lab, art class and music class. I am going to have a blast in school!!

Fun times in Wichita

Kellen and Mom had to go to Phoenix for Kellen's doctor appointment so I got to stay in Wichita a couple extra days. Mom told me that they were going to the doctor but she didn't tell me she was getting on an airplane and gonna be gone for 4 days. Everytime I talked to her I asked "Are you still at the doctor??"But I had so much fun playing with my cousins and getting to spend the night at my Aunt "Pretty's" house. They can go back to the doctor anytime as long as I get to spend more time with my cousins!!

Kellen and I splashing around in Grandma's bathtub. We love this tub cause there is no texture on the bottom and we are able to slide around like crazy. Sometimes Kellen gets so excited he slides right off his bottom and ends up face first in the water. But I always keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't drink too much water!!
Easton came over and played with me. We both thought we were so funny trying on the Mr. Potato Head accessories!! This picture of Easton is priceless!!

It was a little bit harder to keep my mustache on, I guess my nostriles are too big (thanks Dad!!)

Easton's Mom came over so my Grandma could help her make some Super Hero capes for Brett's birthday party. In case you didn't know my Grandma can fix anything!! (The last thing I was at the Gap, they had a book that had a ripped page and I brought it over to my Mom and told her not to worry cause my Grandma would fix it). Of course Easton and I had to try them out, we thought they were the coolest thing ever. Grandma said she was gonna make me one too... I hope I get a purple one!!

Kellen and I playing in the basement while Grandma made the capes. I sat at the easel forever writing everyone's names down. I am getting really good at writing my own name.

Brayden got a weight bench for Christmas and I have been watching him lift weights. When he's not around I like to lift weights too. Everyone thinks it's really funny watching me!! He better watch out before long my "guns" are gonna be bigger than his (it probably won't take long considering Brayden is a "stick boy" and it's impossible for him to gain weight!!!!)

Grandma and Kellen

We've got the best Grandma. She let's us wear our jammies all day, that is definitely the way to my heart.

Grandma even encouraged me to play in the rain with her. We both got all wet but we had a great time!!

I have become quite the snuggle buddy lately, I love crawling up on the couch and laying with my Mom.

Grandma bought this car ramp at the consignment sale not realizing that all the pieces were not there. But we found a way to still play with it. Kellen thought that it was too funny when the cars came flying at him.

Aunt Pretty took us to All-Star Sports. I had so much fun riding all the rides, I loved the go-karts, and the bumper boats. I had so much fun getting the big kids all wet!

Me and my Aunt Pretty!!

I even got to drive the go-kart by myself!!

We also got to go to Kourtnee's birthday party. While all the big kids were playing inside Konnor and I took over the slide and pool, we were having so much fun sliding down head first!!

This was my favorite way to go down. It wasn't as much fun at Grandma's house without the pool to catch me, I just ended up with my head in a pile of dirt!!

My brother just loves his Uncle P.

"MOM, KELLEN IS EATING MY WHY-FLYER, MAKE HIM STOP!!!!"

I thought I would tease him and offer him my toys not knowing that he could actually reach them and he took it right out of my hand and stuck it straight into his mouth. That's the last time I offer him one of my favorite toys in the car. Because he is too far away Mom couldn't even get it from him so I had to watch him play with my "Why-Flyers" until we got home... I was NOT happy about it!! After 10 days we were all ready to get home. I don't think that we have anymore trips planned for a long time. Although I keep asking my Mom if we can go see Grammy and Papi, so maybe she'll give in and take us to see them. I'll keep you updated!!

Summer Fun

We've been home for a couple weeks now, which is a long time for us, but we are leaving on Friday for a trip to Wichita and then Mom and Kellen are going to Phoenix for a doctors appointment (they are trying to keep it a secret from me but I overheard Mom talking to Michelle about it. I really really want to go but Mom says I can't).

Otherwise things have been going well here. Kellen is getting so big, I can't believe he is almost 1, he is crawling all over the place and getting into all my stuff. He also loves to get into Mom's plants, I am constantly having to pull him away from the plants and vacuum up the mess!! We are getting ready for the summer to end and school to start. This year I am going to preschool at the elementary school where I am going to be a peer-model for special needs kids. My neighbor Katie is going to be in my class and we get to ride the bus together!! I am so excited about it. I convinced Mom to let me have a princess backpack even though she tried her hardest to get me a different one!! Last night while Mom was out mowing the grass I got my little mower out and still wearing my tutu I followed Mom around the yard "helping" her. The neighbors thought it was the funniest thing.

School is getting ready to start so Addison and I got to go shopping for some new schools clothes. I love my Addison!!
Kellen is starting to play with all my toys. He really likes to play with my vanity set, I think he just likes looking at himself in the mirror.

WOW look at my tower...

KELLEN NO!!! Every time I built it really high he crawled over so fast and knocked it over!!

And he thought it was funny, he would look at Mom and laugh about it every time he knocked it over. I didn't think it was that funny.

Kellen is trying to walk. Mom pulled out my walker and Kellen has been pushing it around everywhere. Mom will really have her hands full when he starts walking everywhere.

I love to have tea parties, but sometimes Kellen wants to join in. Mom usually tells me to let him play with me. Evidently he didn't want the yellow cup, that's why he's looking so disgusted!!

Kellen thinks it funny to throw all my stuff on the ground.

I always have to tell him NO KELLEN!!

And it eventually leads to me taking the toy away from him. We are still working on sharing. I know that if he has something that I want I have to find a replacement toy for him before I can have the other. Mom thinks it's kinda funny listening to me try to rationalize with a 11 month old. In the end I just take the toy and distract him with something else so he doesn't get mad.

Kellen is starting to turn into a fish just like I did. We could hang out in the pool all day. Whenever Kellen gets tired he just lays his head back on his raft and closes his eyes, it's pretty cute!!

My BFF Addison

Kellen playing with my vanity once again, it might be time for Mom to buy some boy toys!!
