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!)

Summer Is OVER

Wow, that went fast. The last I remember, I was oohing and ahhing at these fancy things called fireworks, and now Daddy is already driving my brothers to school in the mornings.

I had a fun and busy summer. It seemed to rain a lot but now it's sunny all the time. I think that is weird but Mommy and Daddy say that is "Oregon." Here are some highlights to catch you all up:

I learned how to make pizza:


And I am starting to become what Grandma calls a 'chatterbox.' Here is what I had to say on my picture day:

The Mokus and Other Tales

So, daddy filmed me talking about some of the interesting stuff that has been going on with me lately.

Mainly, I am very interested in the mokus (smoke alarm) at Grandma and Grandpa's house, as well as buses, trains and motorcycles that are too loud for my small ears. We discuss my brothers' various minor boo-boos. And of course daddy makes me laugh so hard that I throw up my ice cream dessert. I have to say, it tasted as good coming up as it did going down - all in all a fun time. Enjoy:



Oh, and here is a bit of an older video where I discuss a visit to the zoo:
