Snow Day!

I woke up today and snow was falling around our house and in the yard. It was neat! Mommy said that at least 2 or 3 inches came down. We bundled up and went into the back yard to make snow angels and throw snow at the dogs and each other!

It was great but got really cold so we didn't stay out too long. Mommy made me hot chocolate, and then I had what daddy called a sugar high. Fun!

The weather lady says it will be below freezing for the next week. Wow, that could be great - all of us stuck in the house for a whole week. I am so exited about that, I mixed up my numbers when daddy had me count to ten:

December Is Fun!

This month has been a blast so far. Mommy and daddy bought what they are calling a 'baby backpack' and I ride on their backs in it. I guess I am very 'heaby' but I sure have fun looking around while they do all the work on our hikes.

On our last hike, we ended up at this cool waterfall. The spray from the water was freezing so we stayed away from that but we did take some neat pictures with my brothers.

I can't believe it has been a whole year since Santa made me cry. But this year I am not so scared. I actually really want to go see Santa! Mommy and daddy promise to take me to see him soon. I'll be sure to write about that.

We did go to a tree farm last weekend and while it was great to get our very own Christmas tree, they had tractors and dirtmovers there! I almost jumped our of my dipies I was so excited. Daddy sat me on the tractor and before long I felt like I could very easily drive it.

We also got to ride in a "Gator" that daddy drove, to get the tree we had chosen. That was almost as fun as the tractor but it wasn't as big, so not quite as fun.

When it got too cold, we went into the house with our friends who run the tree farm and had snacks.





I found their dog's kennel and thought it was really super fun when my brothers put me in there and locked the door. It was really cozy in there and I made them give me my blanket and a drink.

The day ended with a super colorful sky. It looked like a painting I might have made with my favorite teachers at school. I was really tired but man, what a great day! The next day we all decorated the tree and aside from being sick for a few days, everything has been hunky dory since then.

Halloween is FUN

Last night after school I got to put my dragonosaurus costume on and go BACK to school for a super fun Halloween party. It was kind of weird to be back at school with loads of mommys and daddys there and different things to do in every classroom. It was also dark, and I never go to school in the dark. Fun!

I got to see my teachers and some friends from class and it was a good time. And daddy found out that the school director is a big fan of The Who, so he had a good time too!

Watch Me Rock Out!

As mommy, daddy, my brothers and Miss Bev from school can attest to, I am turning into quite the drummer. Daddy made my first rock video the other day and here it is:

Alphabet and Numbers With Style

I heard someone talk about how hard it is to walk and chew gum at the same time. I have no idea what that is about but I do know that I can jump in my crib and sing the alphabet at the same time! Daddy says I am missing a few letters but I think I sound pretty awesome. My numbers are coming along too. Check it out!

Just a regular 'ol fall weekend

Jam packed weekend--all sorts of fun to talk about. Uncle David and Auntie Sherry came over yesterday for some play time. I got to feed Auntie Sherry's granddaughter a bottle--aren't I good with the babies? See--I've got a sensitive side too :)

Saturday night I watched a video with mommy and daddy and got my very own popcorn! I feel more like a grown up every day. I was happy we watched a video I picked out, not that I don't like Iron Maiden videos, I just feel that animated shows are much more my speed (sorry daddy).

Today we went to the pumpkin patch! We saw all the animals in the barn and took a hay ride to pick out my very own pumpkin. It was a beautiful day and I loved my first (and hopefully not last) hay ride. The day ended with me throwing a 2 year old blow out tantrum because I wanted the "WHOLE" elephant ear--not shared with mommy and daddy. I thought I'd let mommy and daddy know that this type of decision will just not do, so I cried for the entire ride home (30 minutes). I got the last laugh though--cuz I threw the whole thing on the ground and no one got to eat it! Did I mention it was past my nap time? Irrelevant really, the point is I should be in charge of rationing the elephant ears.

I FOUND IT!

NO WAY DADDY--THIS IS MINE, I DON'T WANT TO TRADE!

HAY RIDES ARE FUN!

I Love My Family

I have been learning all sorts of things at school, including how to share and serve others. Here I am making coffee for my brothers and giving mommy and daddy big hugs. Of course I can't help but being a bit bossy here and there - it's in my DNA (or at least that's what daddy says!)
