Pledge of Allegiance

I came home from school today and instead of singing a song for Mom I wanted to do the pledge. After Mom heard it she said that she had to get that on video!!

Kellen and I

My brother is getting to be so big. I love that he walks all over the house now.

Kellen loves to chew on blankets.
We all think it's funny when he walks around chewing on a blanket and trips over the blanket. Mom hopes that he has more grace than I do, but as of now he hasn't learned to catch himself when he falls; he always catches himself with his head. Everyone teases and tells him that he has to wait for his helmet!!

Boy do I love my footsie jammies.

Lately I started taking my castle up on the landing so that Kellen couldn't mess it up while I play.

Kellen will just stand at the bottom on the steps saying "sissy, sissy" but I just ignore him!!! Before long I'll have to find another place to play cause he'll have the steps mastered!!

In case you didn't recognize it... THAT IS MY BLANKET!!! Mom says Kellen loves to chew on my blanket while I'm at school. I guess I need to do a better job at putting it up before I get on the bus.

Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend we drove down to Wichita so Mommy could go see "Wicked" with Grandma. Saturday morning we met Aunt Pretty and her family at the pumpkin patch.

These big tricycles were one of my favorite things. I was able to pedal them really really fast, I couldn't keep up with Brayden but I sure did try.
Konnor, Kellen, myself and Brayden on the school bus... Brayden was the crazy driver!!

Kellen wishes he could ride the bus with me. Everyday he watches me get on the bus and says "sissy...sissy" as I drive off.

Kellen LOVES animals. He could have stayed there all day feeding and petting the animals. I took one look at the animals and ran across the bridge to the slide.

Here comes Mom and Kellen down the big slide. Look at Konnor on the slide on the right, he's just about ready to wipe out!!

They also had a big zipline, I couldn't get it going really fast but I was able to go fast enough.

I even convinced Mom to go on the zipline. She was able to go a lot fast than me.

Brayden was trying to jump across the gap. Needless to say he never actually made it across but he came really close. Aunt Pretty was afraid he was really gonna hurt himself.

Grandma was showing me the corn in the corn maze. I actually got lost in the maze by myself. Everyone turned around and I wasn't there, they all split up and came looking for me. Luckily the worker guy found me and brought me to my family. Getting lost in a corn maze is no fun!!!

Kellen enjoying is first sucker.

Konnor and I on the train. You can also see Brayden way in the back riding in the caboose.

I found my pumpkin!!

Kellen also found a a pumpkin that he liked.

Kellen loved his pumpkin so much, he stood there forever hugging and kissing this pumpkin.

Everyone kept laughing at Kellen when he was laying on the pumpkin hopping up and down, I didn't think it was funny but they all did.

I kicked Kellen out of the stroller so I could enjoy the ride for a little bit.

Kellen

It turned cold so fast but we have gotten a couple of nice days lately. Yesterday I even talked Mom into getting my bike out of the garage so I could take it for a ride on the deck.

I've started doing "tricks" on my bike. I've been riding around while standing on my toes. Who would have thought that I'd ride on my toes, I do everything on my toes!!

It's kinda hard to tell but Kellen is going crazy for the neighbors dog. Kellen is such a dog lover!! Everyone thinks that it's funny that Kellen loves dogs so much and I hate them so much. Kellen will just sit there and let the dogs lick his face all day, he loves chasing the dogs around the neighbors house!!

It must have been a rough night last night, Kellen had to use the fridge to help him drink his milk!!!

That's one way to empty a box of Kleenex!! He's such a stinker!!

Block Party

Yesterday we had a neighborhood block party. We couldn't have had any better weather than we had. It has been so cold for the past couple week and be actually got some sunshine, it was the perfect day.

We always love the bounce house! We could all stay in there all day long.

We also got to decorate pumpkins.

Kellen wasn't able to decorate pumpkins with me but he was able to sit and enjoy a cookie. Actually he had lots of cookies, everytime I saw him he had a cookie in his hands. The neighbors just love my brother.

How cute is this pumpkin?!!! Hopefully we will be able to carve pumpkins this weekend at Grandma's house. Mom said that she would make me a princess pumpkin, we'll just have to wait and see!! I love my princesess!!

School Fun Fest

Last week my school had a big fun festival. Katie went with us and my Dad even came to the festival with us. We ate hot dogs and even got to have some cotton candy for dessert!!

This big slide was my favorite!! The line was the fastest of all the other rides so we spent the most time on this one.

I didn't always like the fact that I had to stand in line but I got the hang out it. I think the worker guy even caught on to my "line-cutting" he kept telling me that I had to get in the back of the line. It wasn't my fault that those kids weren't paying attention!!

Mommy and Kellen!

Kellen has finally started to say "Mama"... it's about dang time considering he's been saying "Dada" for months and it's Mom that's always been around!! Everytime Kellen says "Dada" I like to try and get him to say "Ken-dall, Ken=dall" it hasn't worked yet but someday it will.

Dad tried helping me play putt-putt, and when I did get the hole in one I didn't want that prize, I really wanted the consulation prize, so the worker gave in and gave me the yo-yo!!

Towards the end of the night Katie and I fell in love with the big obstacle course!

Katie coming down the BIG slide!

Katie and I

We had an amazing night and was lots of fun seeing all of our school friends.

Kellen walking

It's been a pretty uneventful month so far. The weather changed from warm to cold just about over night. I have enjoyed the cold weather cause that means that I get to wear my footsie jammies. But am having a hard time understanding why Mommy took my bike off the deck and put it in the garage. I always try to get her to bring it in the house so I can ride inside!!

When it's cold out Mom and I always like to bake cookies for our friends. I am very specific as to who I want to make cookies for. We always know that without a doubt the Stegman boys will always enjoy our cookies. Which is good cause it's normally Katie that I insist we make cookies for.

Kellen is getting so much bigger. I love it that he walks all around the place. I always have to make sure Mom knows when I see him walking. We have had lots of fun teaching him "tricks" like blowing kisses, high-fives, waving, clapping and sticking his tongue out!

Kellen thinks that he is hiding from the camera!

Look at those eye lashes... Mom says they are long and beautiful just like mine. We're not quite sure where we get the long eye lashes from, but I'll definitely appreciate mine when I get older.

Kellen blowing kisses!

Our "booger" (that's what Mom likes to call him) is getting so good at walking. He needs to practice so that he can go trick or treating with me in a couple weeks.
