IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Today was my birthday... I'm finally 4!!!

I woke up to a room full of balloons, it was so cool.
Kellen and I had so much fun having a "balloon fight" in my room!!! It was the perfect way to wake up on my birthday.

Kellen and Mommy made me a birthday cake while I was at school. Kellen loved eating the batter... I'm kinda jealous that I didn't get to help lick the beaters:)

Then Mom and Kellen brought up snacks to school. They stayed around for a little bit and got to see what I do at school all day and play with my school friends

I took Mom's camera and had fun taking pictures of all my friends and my Mom!!

"Open shut and open shut give a little clap clap clap, open shut and open shut then put them in your lap lap lap." That's the song that we sing when we are getting ready for a snack or an activity at the table!

My teachers even made me a special birthday crown

See Kellen sitting in the front? He loves coming to my school and listening to Mrs. Carlisle read us books

We even got to play outside today, this was the first time in months that we have had outdoor recess. Mom and Kellen came out with us, Mrs. Carlisle said she was happy to have an extra pusher for the swings!!!

I got to eat ice cream for lunch, I had to add lots of extra sprinkles... I love my birthday!!

Kellen enjoying his lunch, he wasn't lucky enough to get ice cream for lunch, maybe on his birthday he will!!!!

I'm 4 (and of course I'm wearing my birthday Daisy shirt thanks Grandma!!)

The best birthday present was that my Nana and cousin Austin flew in to spend a couple days with us! We had to pick them up from the airport then they got to enjoy cake and presents with us!

HIPPOS!!!!!!

ummmmm

(that's the sound I make when I see a hippo and give it kisses)

Mommy got me a Mickey Mouse computer game

There is Austin... Nana says it's just about impossible to take his picture!!!

He sure did enjoy my birthday cake!! I'm so glad he was here to celebrate with me.

After I ate my cake I realized that I wasn't wearing my crown so I insisted Mom take my picture again, and insisted she lights the candles again too!!!!

I had the best birthday ever, i'm not sure how it could get any better than this year!! Thanks to everyone who helped me celebrate this year, I love you all.

MY BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!!!

Sunday I had my birthday party!!! I invited my friends Katie, Addison, Hailey (but she was sick and wasn't able to come) and my cousins.

It was a Daisy party (even though Mom didn't really find anything Daisy but Grandma did get me a Daisy shirt to wear)
First we started in the food court at the Mall for some pizza, cupcakes and presents. I got to play in the play place while we waited for all my friends to come.

Addison, Katie, and I eating pizza!!

You'd think I would be able to blow out those 4 candles really easy but it wasn't as easy as you might think. It took me quite a few times to get all 4 out!!! Man who knows what I'm gonna do when there are lots of candles on my birthday cake!!

Look whos 4!!!!!

Thank you Mom for my birthday party... it was perfect!!!

A Snow White doll from Addison

Addison also got me Trouble, Grandma and I had lots of fun playing it last night.

Katie got me a play-doh kitchen, Konnor and I made lots of yummy food with it.

Uncle Klint and Aunt Paris got me Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast movies.

Grandma got me lots of Hippo books and the best present of all.... A REAL HIPPO!!!!

She adopted a Hippo at the zoo for me, I'm so excited to go this spring and tell everyone that it's my hippo. Daddy has been telling me that he was gonna get me a real hippo but I've been worried about where it was gonna live, I didn't want it in my house out of fear that it would get me and Kellen, so a hippo at the zoo was perfect!!

After pizza we walked down to Monkey Bizness where we all got to run around and play. Kellen had lots of fun too.

I loved going down the slide!

Kellen can't wait to be big enough to play air hockey with Konnor and Uncle P

Aunt Pretty even climbed up and went down the slide

Daddy and Uncle P

Kellen climbed all the way to the top and the only way down was to come down the slide. Kourtnee was up there with him, all we could see from the bottom was Kellen's arms and legs flailing he did not want to go down that slide. Mom kept yelling telling Kourtnee to just push him down, he wasn't so happy when he got to the bottom.

Brayden, Kourtnee

Konnor, Me and Addison

Kellen was so over Monkey Bizness

Aunt Pretty was on the top level swinging the kids really fast on the swing

Konnor and I playing with my new play-doh kitchen

Grandma and Kellen doing puzzles

Valentine's Party

Mommy and Mrs. Lori were in charge of our valentine's day party, Mom came to school the day before to take a class picture for our craft project. I LOVE it when my Mom comes to my school.

Here are all my friends. We just got a couple new students that we are all getting to know. Yes Ethan is still my "boyfriend" and yes he has his finger in his nose :)
Making our picture frames!!

Look at mine!!! I made three frames the night before for my teachers, so I considered myself a pro and tried helping my friends

Mommy and I made heart cookies the night before and we all got to decorate them and eat them for snacks! I loved the icing the best...big surprise huh?!!

We also got to play musical chairs. Kellen tried playing with us but all he really did was hold up the line when we were circling the chairs. All my friends love my brother!

I got so many valentine's from my friends. And yes I did finally finish writing my name on all my valentines!!!

We all had a great Valentine's Day party, Katie and I have the best Mom's...they always know how to throw the best parties.

On a side note, Mom had my conference this week, she said that it went great. I'm getting better at following directions and not worrying so much about what everyone else is doing. I love school so much!!!

Fun with the Burris' kids

Yesterday we went to an open play at the gym with Cameron, Cole and Mr. Dennis, we had SO much fun jumping in the foam pit!!

Mom's not sure why there is a spot on my face, she said that every time she took a picture of us in the pit there were spots everywhere, maybe it's from all the foam flying everywhere!!
I was able to spin Kellen around really really fast, I think I had more fun then he did!!!

This was our favorite, Cameron and I loved running down the trampoline and jumping into the pit!!

Cameron, Cole and I jumping in the bounce house, I can't wait until Kellen is big enough to jump with me.

Mr. Dennis kept throwing the foam blocks at us, he did a really great job at smacking Mom in the head :)

Kellen enjoyed the pit too!!

Thanks Mr. Dennis for inviting us to play with you guys at the gym, I can't wait to go back!!!!

Take a look at Kellen's head, you can really see the screw poking out on his temple. Otherwise he is doing great, his hair is growing back and he really is back to acting like the old Kellen.
