Hello World!

Quote of the Day

2011-05-24T21:48:00.002-05:00

"Mommy, when I'm 33, I'm going to sleep in my big girl bed all by myself - just like you."

This is humorous because I go to bed each night in my bed and wake up after an hour or two and then I sleep with Mommy and Daddy for the rest of the night. Seems like this is my plan until I'm grown!

My Babies

2011-05-22T07:22:00.000-05:00

Most little girls like to play with baby dolls but I love stuffed animals! Especially cats. This is Kitten (who is also known as QP) and Pocoyo. I dress them in baby doll clothes - including diapers.

And I love pushing them in the stroller. I pushed them all the way to the lake!

Spring Flowers

2011-05-21T08:23:00.000-05:00

We went to the nursery to pick out some spring flowers for our planter. I knew I wanted purple flowers since purple is my favorite color!

When I saw this flower, I immediately named it a "peppermint flower" and knew I had to have it too.

My flowers look so pretty! YEA for warm weather!

Flower Girl, Take Four

2011-05-20T08:00:00.000-05:00

These are my cousins, Cade and Kaitlin. Their Mommy (Aunt Stephie) asked me to be her flower girl. When my Mommy was a little girl, she was supposed to be Aunt Stephie's flower girl, but she got the chicken pox and was not able to. AND, Kaitlin was Mommy and Daddy's flower girl!

Isn't my dress so cute?

Chloe, Aunt Stephie, Kaitlin, and Ashley. These girls are Aunt Stephie's beautiful daughters. Isn't Stephie a beautiful bride?

I did a great job of sprinklng petals down the aisle. Mommy was glad this church wasn't huge, and that she was close to me, because as soon as I got to the front I whispered in my LOUDEST whisper voice "I DIDN'T USE ALL OF MY PETALS. I HAVE SOME LEFT"
During the ceremony, I turned around and whispered "I'M VERY HUNGRY!" Mom was not amused. A few minutes later, I decided to sit down. See how ladylike? I put the basket under my poofy skirt for a minute until my cousins talked me into taking it out. See their faces?
I was a little naughty during this wedding. Probably a good thing this was not my first flower girl experience, or it might have been my last!
Oh, and one more thing, remember the left over flower petals? I dropped them down the aisle on my way out!

Finches

2011-05-19T19:55:00.003-05:00

My finches are back! Hooray! But, there has been another type of bird eating my finches' food. Every time I see these rascals I shout, "HEY! STOP EATING MY FINCHES' FOOD!" I make them fly away. Mommy took a picture of the other birds and sent it to Aunt Judy because she and Uncle Phil enjoy birds as much as I do. She thought they might know what kind of bird is eating my finches' food.

Guess what? Turns out this is also a finch! Aunt Judy said it's called a Common House Finch. OOPS! Sorry for yelling at you guys!

Holy Cross Graduation

2011-05-18T20:39:00.008-05:00

My Sweet FriendsThe Processional was to the song "What a Wonderful World" Then we sang some of our favorite songs

Ms. Nancy helped us with our caps

Miss Allie called my name - it was my turn
Ms. Angie gave me my diploma and a big hug

Miss Connie gave me a Bible and a big hug

My sweet teachers, Miss Nancy (the classroom Granny who volunteers her time)

Holy Cross Parade

2011-05-03T20:56:00.004-05:00

Last week we had a parade at school! These are my classmates and my teachers.

We made fish windsocks in honor of the upcoming Fish Fry Parade.

Can you tell how much I am enjoying this parade? VERY VERY much!

We sang the songs, Down By The Bay and Have You Ever Been Fishing, while we were marching. In this picture, we stopped marching to do the motions to Have You Ever Been Fishing. Here are the words (it's sung to the tune of Turkey in the Straw) . . .
Have you ever been fishing

on a bright and sunny day,

when you see those little fishies

swimming up and down the bay?

With their hands in their pockets

and their pockets in their pants.

All the little fishies do the hoochie coochie dance!

(And of course, Mommy got a picture of us doing the hoochie coochie dance)

We also recited a poem while we were marching. It is called, Once I Caught a Fish Alive. Here are the words.

1,2,3,4,5

Once I caught a fish alive.

6,7,8,9,10

Then I let it go again.

Why did you let it go?

Because it bit my finger so.

Which finger did it bite?

This little finger on the right.

YEA for parades!

One More Easter Post

2011-04-26T21:16:00.000-05:00

I had breakfast with the Easter Bunny last Saturday at church! Miss Kathy and Dr. Rob told us about the meaning of Easter.

Each egg had a symbol of the Easter story.

After the Easter story, Miss Kathy told us why chicks and bunnies are symbols of Easter. They represent new life, just like Jesus. After the serious stuff, it was time for fun! I got to hold the Easter Bunny's hand and lead my friends to the egg hunt!

While I was inside, Daddy and Audrey's Papa hid the eggs!

They did a great job! Ready, Set, GO!

Amelia and I

We played games after the egg hunt.

YIPPEE!

Then we had donuts (my favorite) and orange juice.

And, of course, a craft!

Easter Sunday

2011-04-25T20:52:00.003-05:00

On Easter Sunday, Mommy and Nana and I got up early and went to church. These are my church friends, Mary Kate, Audrey, Russell, and Amelia. We ate strawberries, grapes, and blueberry muffins for snack.

Mommy and I wore our new Easter dresses.

I insisted we make a picture with silly faces!

After church, we went to Nana's for brunch. Aunt Lori was there. I love her!

After eating it was egg coloring time!

Nana helped me make the prettiest eggs!

Happy Easter!

2011-04-24T08:00:00.001-05:00

Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!
Earth and heaven in chorus say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply, Alleluia!

Holy Cross Egg Hunt

2011-04-21T15:15:00.005-05:00

Today I had my first real Easter Egg hunt of the year. Mommy and I have been hiding eggs and hunting them for weeks, but this was the real thing . . . lots of eggs with candy inside and hunting with preschool friends! Here is Ms. Angie getting us all lined up and ready to hunt.

Ms. Angie is so wonderful. She explained to everyone that God gave us all different gifts . . . and running speeds, and that not all of us would be as fast at collecting eggs as others. She told us what an image of God we would be if we saw that a friend had not gathered as many eggs as we had, and we shared our eggs with them. It was so sweet after the hunt to see my friends looking around at eachothers baskets and sharing eggs. Everyone got lots of eggs!

On the hunt!

This is "my sweet buddy" Jasmine.

Did you notice my cute shirt? Mama Kaye embriodered it for me!
This egg was my favorite! An ice cream cone Easter Egg! Sadly, it did not have ice cream inside, just jelly beans! I'll settle for jelly beans.

Another Pretty Dress!

2011-04-10T22:50:00.005-05:00

Mama Kaye surprised me by making me this sweet dress and sending to me in the mail. Did you know that I love to get mail?

It has cute yellow chicks and pink tulips. I love the bow in the back! Here are my sweet friends, Audrey and Amelia.

Guess what? Mommy took me to buy a yellow hairbow to match my new dress. I spotted this kitten (whom I have named, Kitten) and had to have her. Since she was only a dollar, Mommy said okay.

Olivia and me . . .

. . . being silly. What else would you expect?

Easter Dress

2011-04-07T18:18:00.002-05:00

Cousin Emily made me the most beautiful dress!

Isn't the smocking gorgeous? Cousin Melissa did the sweet tatting on the sleeves - you can barely see it in this picture. The fabric pattern is called "Over the Moon" and has a nursery rhyme theme. You can see a close-up of it here.

Statue

2011-04-04T16:04:00.004-05:00

My assignment in Kindermusik this past week was to make a statue. We could make anything . . . so of course I chose a kitty cat.

Mommy and I decided to use paper mache to make my statue. I mixed up flour and water for the paste.

Then we soaked strips of newspaper in the paste and stuck them to the balloon.

Before the paint.

Mommy forgot to take any pictures of me painting my sculpture . . . maybe because I demanded my cat be purple (my favorite color). Mommy was thinking black or brown - you know, real cat colors. The directions for the statue encouraged CREATIVITY. My cat is purple, it has one brown eye and one blue eye, a blue nose, and a green mouth . . . now that's creative. By the way, my teacher loved it!

New Monday Afternoon Tradition

2011-03-28T18:44:00.003-05:00

I was playing outside when I heard music. Much to my suprise, it was an ice cream truck! A truck that comes to my house, plays music, AND brings me ice cream? WOW!

It's hard to believe that last Monday it was warm enough for sandals and a skirt! I am ready for warm weather. I walked up to the ice cream lady and picked my treat! I am one happy girl! And guess what? The ice cream lady said she would bring me ice cream every Monday after school! Hooray!

YEA SPRING!

2011-03-20T08:00:00.000-05:00

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

2011-03-16T14:54:00.003-05:00

Mama Kaye made me the cutest outfit! I am going to wear it to school for St. Patrick's Day

Here is a close-up of the fabric. Isn't it cute?

Puppy Heaven!!!!!

2011-03-05T22:17:00.002-06:00

My cousins' dog, Dixie, had puppies! I got to visit them today. Deborah brought the basket of puppies into the garage since it was raining outside. Emily held me so I could see them.

Melissa helped me hold this sweet one. Her name is Shiloh.

Six sweet puppies!

This is as close as I like to get to Mama Flo's puppy (there's a sliding glass door between us).

Pajamas with No Holes

2011-03-03T19:26:00.001-06:00

My favorite pajamas are pajamas with no holes. That's what I call the pj's with footies in them. I wear pajamas with no holes to bed every night. I was so happy when Daddy bought Mommy her very own pajamas with no holes! Mommy put them on and I said "Oh, Mommy, you look so cute! Maybe Daddy will take our picture." And he did!

The Birds

2011-02-28T19:17:00.002-06:00

We could hear these crazy birds from INSIDE our house. We decided to go outside and see what was going on.

In case you didn't get that . . . I thought they were having a birthday party!

Gnomeo and Juliet

2011-02-19T20:30:00.002-06:00

Mommy took me to see Gnomeo and Juliet in 3D! This was my first 3D movie experience. I wore my glasses long enough for Mommy to take my picture - and that's all. I didn't want to wear them during the movie. It sure looked fuzzy without them!

Happy Valentine's Day

2011-02-14T13:49:00.002-06:00

I haven't been to school in a week because of the snow! I was so happy to go back today. I was also happy to celebrate Valentine's Day! First, I passed out my Valentine cards.

Next, I opened some of my Valentines and made a craft.

After crafts, it was game time! I played Pass the Heart . . .
. . . and Bingo.

BINGO!
My most favorite part of the party was next . . . a CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN!

Hope your Valentine's Day is SWEET!

Fun in the Snow

2011-02-08T11:16:00.007-06:00

I didn't go to school yesterday because I had a fever and Mommy took me to the doctor. I have a virus and I'm feeling much better today. When we got home from the doctor's office, I really wanted to play in the snow, but Mommy wouldn't let me since I was sick. She did let me catch a couple of snowflakes on my tongue!

When I got up today, Mommy and I went out to play!

Mommy and I love how the sun makes the snow sparkle.
We made a snowman and gave him a carrot nose.

Then I made snow angels . . . .lots and lots of snow angels!

I had so much fun!

Before we went inside, we scooped up some snow for snowcream!

I got a warm bath and put my pj's back on.

A little sugar,
add some milk and vanilla and stir it up.
Next, we added the snow.
We needed a bigger bowl!
YUM!!!
We have enjoyed our snow day!

Roller Skating

2011-02-05T20:24:00.003-06:00

I went roller skating for the very first time today! The roller skating rink in town just reopened. It was open a long time ago, when Mommy was a little girl. She liked going roller skating and decided to take me. We met Amelia and her Mommy and Nanny there. Oh, and Amelia brought her penguin along.

Wow! I can do this!

I was a little alarmed when they turned off the house lights and turned on the disco lights. Once I realized it was okay, I said, "Wow, this is awesome!" That is exactly what my Mommy was thinking too.

I did the Hokey Pokey! It was lots of fun!

Then, I did the Limbo! Here I am following Amelia under the Limbo stick.

We made it! Can you believe I did this?

This is what happened when we Limboed lower

After I fell on my rear, and the guy blew his whistle at me, I cried big, fat tears. I really, really wanted to be the winner. I tried to be a good sport for Amelia, but I just couldn't stop crying. She was the Limbo winner!

I'm planning to win next week!

MIA

2011-01-24T17:15:00.004-06:00

Have you been looking for us?

Don't worry . . .

We're all still here. Mommy has just become one of "those" bloggers. And now she's overwhelmed with the amount of pictures taken since Christmas and can't decide what to blog next!

Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas!

2010-12-22T19:20:00.000-06:00

Christmas Program

2010-12-20T13:19:00.006-06:00

My very first Christmas program! Mommy and Daddy were so excited!

I sang some Christmas songs with my friends.

Daddy was disappointed that I was on the second row. He thought I should have been on the first row so everybody could see me.

I got to hold up the letter A in the Christmas Poem!

And then . . . to Mommy's surprise and delight . . .

I got to be an angel in the Nativity!

Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus!

Addison's Birthday

2010-12-15T21:14:00.002-06:00

My friends and I celebrated Addison's 4th birthday at Little Monkeys - an inflatables bounce center.

My Daddy was so proud of me!

Happy Birthday, Addison!

Chase Game

2010-12-12T13:26:00.008-06:00

I love to chase my Papa and for my Papa to chase me! I had a fun time playing the chase game at Mama Flo's while we were all there for Thanksgiving. It was my turn to chase Papa, but watch what happened . . .
and please note the laughter of my audience . . .
I love my cousins!
And my Papa!

Star of the Week

2010-12-04T08:28:00.004-06:00

This week at school was very special! It was my Star Week at school. I got to bring Isaac the Monkey home.
Mommy picked some pictures of my family to take. Here are my friends, Aden and Carter, standing next to my poster.
I got to tell my friends about my favorite color (purple), my favorite foods (macaroni and cheese, cheese, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, M&Ms), my favorite things to do (play Hide and Seek, play in the leaves, play on the computer, and paint), my favorite movie (Wow, Wow Wubbzy - Wubbzy Goes to School), and how Isaac and I spend our weekend together. I also got to share my favorite book (A Mouse About the House) and toy (small Gund stuffed animals - Pinkie pig, Tabitha cat, Stiggy zebra, Roberta hippo, Fifi dog) with my class.
Miss Connie gave me my Star Crown to wear!

I got to sit in Miss Angie's lap.
I also got to bring a Star Snack for my friends. I picked Cheetos, cupcakes, and grape Capri Suns. I really had a hard time choosing between cupcakes or donuts. I was so happy that Miss Nancy brought a special snack of donuts to celebrate Miss Connie's birthday! By the way . . . Miss Connie said I don't always sit with the boys, it was just a coincidence today!
I also got to lead my friends in the blessing before snack.

As Star of the Week, I also got to bring a Star Guest to entertain my friends. I picked my Mommy and Daddy. They decided to do a puppet show for me and my friends (this video is kind of long . . . about 8 minutes).

Happy Thanksgiving!

2010-11-24T08:57:00.002-06:00

Bitsy Bitsy Spider

2010-11-12T17:57:00.002-06:00

Happy Halloween, Pardner!

2010-10-31T23:30:00.002-05:00

Just to clarify . . . I am a girl cowBOY. Not a cowgirl. Got it?

Here is my candy bag!

Boots, chaps and cowboy hats…. nothing else matters.Well,except maybe a pink flower glow-stick and a red wagon too (Mommy and Nana pulled me this year).

I visited several houses in my neighborhood. Before saying trick-or-treat, my question to the person with the candy bowl was . . . "Do you have a puppy or a kitty?" Followed by . . . "What is his name?" And then the question that really made Mommy cringe . . . "Can I come in your house and see him/her?" I only asked to go in a couple of times, because Mommy explained to me that asking yourself in someone else's house is not nice manners. I just could not refrain from asking if the person with the candy bowl had a pet, and the name of the pet though! I met lots of puppies and kitties in my neighborhood this Halloween . . . oh, and I got lots of candy too! Happy Halloween!

Mr. Ricky's Sorghum Mill

2010-10-29T08:00:00.000-05:00

I got to visit another farm! Mr. Ricky is a bus driver at my other preschool. He has a sorghum mill on his farm. Here we are on the way to the bus!
Riding the bus is very exciting! Please note that I am wearing my seatbelt. Daddy was very happy about this!
When we got to Mr. Ricky's farm, his wife had a picnic lunch ready for us.
Here is my friend Conner telling me how delicious hot dogs taste. This is the one and only bite of hot dog I have ever eaten.
Ummmm . . . yum. . .
Please notice, all of my friends have finished and I am still eating. This happens to me all the time.
I didn't eat the hot dog, but the ketchup and bun were good!

This is a sorghum cane. The top is filled with seeds.
The seeds are planed in a field and the crop grows and looks like this.
Mr. Ricky cut down the stalks and cut off the leaves.
Next, he squeezed the juice out with this contraption.
See the juice going into the bucket?
This is the sorghum juice before it is cooked.
A closer look.
Mr.Ricky let us taste the green juice. It was sweet,
When Mr. Ricky was a boy, he did not have money for a jump rope. He and his brothers used the cane that had been through the press for a jump rope.
Next the juice goes into a vat. Mr. Ricky scoops out all the gunk that doesn't belong with this scoop. Next the juice is heated.
Then it changes to sorghum syrup and he pours it into containers like this.
We got to try the sorghum. I did not like the way it tasted! Mr. Ricky's wife made sorghum cookies and muffins. They were delicious! We also got to try vanilla ice cream with sorghum syrup. By the way, this is my sweet friend, Tyler, who brought me flowers at the beginning of the school year.

After our trip to Mr. Ricky's farm, we stopped at the park to play.

Holt Farm

2010-10-27T08:00:00.000-05:00

The children of my church got to visit Holt Farm on Fall Break. I got to ride the bus with Caitlyn (Macey's big sister)! There was not room for Mommy on the bus so she followed in the car. Miss Kathy (our children's leader) was so nice to let me ride the bus. I cried and cried when I thought I had to ride in the car with Mommy. I still have my tissue in my hand
Amelia and me
Mr. Andy Holt taught us about plants.

And animals!

We went on a hayride to a pumpkin patch. But first, we stopped at a corn maze.

It was lots of fun!

We could be sisters.
At the pumpkin patch, when you find your pumpkin, you are supposed to raise your hand.
Mr. Andy picked my pumpkin off the vine. It's perfect!
Audrey made a corn angel (instead of a snow angel) in the corn pit.

Before time to go, I rode this train. That's right. . . train. Mommy tried to tell me it was a horse but I think she was a little confused.

Fall Festival

2010-10-25T08:00:00.002-05:00

We had Fall Festival at church and I got to wear my Halloween costume!
Please, please, don't call me a cowgirl. I am a cowBOY. I understand how you might be confused.
The costume parade
Me and Amelia
Audrey, a princess; Amelia, a fairy princess; and me, a cowboy!
This is my friend Ava's baby brother. His name is Aiden. His daddy brings him and Ava to preschool every morning. I would rather play with him than my friends! Isn't he cute?
Ava is also a princess!
There were games at the Fall Festival. My friend, Caitlyn, helped me golf.
I decorated a cookie with white icing . . .
. . .and a couple of sprinkles.
I painted a pumpkin.
And I did a cake walk.
Guess what? I won!
Next was bowling. What, Mom? I'm not supposed to kick the ball?
Oh . . . roll it like this.
I got lots of candy at the Fall Festival and I had a great time with my friends!

Miss Connie's Farm

2010-10-23T10:18:00.000-05:00

I got to go on a field trip with my friends from Holy Cross. We went to my teacher, Miss Connie's, farm. Macey and I are excited!
First stop . . .the chicken coop.
I got some eggs from the hen house!
Next stop . . . horseback riding. This was by far, my favorite part of the trip.
I love this guy.

Stop three . . . feeding the calf a bottle!
Next, I tried fishing. I was not impressed. My friend, Ava, caught 3 fish! I was too impatient to catch even one.
The last thing I did on Miss Connie's farm was take a hayride. It was fun! Here are my classmates and my teachers!

When it was time to leave, I cried all the way to the car!

Artist at Work

Balloon Game

2010-10-15T08:00:00.000-05:00

After Anna and Steven's wedding, I enjoyed a game of balloon with cousin, Bryant. I also enjoyed my audience - Jessica, Jeremy, Tamsyn, Aunt Judy, Uncle Phil, Mama Flo, and Mommy!

Anna's Wedding

2010-10-13T18:49:00.006-05:00

The Rehearsal:

I had music and an audience. You know what that means . . .

All of the important people got a card with directions for the rehearsal and wedding.

Just practice!

Wedding Day:

Rebekah helped me with my sash.
Emily and Melissa made my dress. Isn't it beautiful?
Talking with Amanda
This is fun, but I would rather be playing out there!
Me and the girls!
Beautiful Anna and Mama Flo
The real thing . . .

Uncle Doug giving Anna away.
You might not be able to tell from this picture unless Mommy tells you, but at this point in the wedding ceremony, I am praying. Here, I have just finished praying and am making the Sign of the Cross (that I learned at preschool), pointing to my forehead, and then pointing to my chest (when Mommy snapped this picture) and saying "In the name of the Fadduh, the Son," then I crossed myself and said, "and the Holy Spirit." Then I put my hands together and said "Amen." Mommy asked me what I was praying about but I wouldn't tell her. Shortly after this, I had a huge yawn - or two. I would really liked to have stretched out on the floor right there and taken a nap. I ended up sitting with Mommy because I was so sleepy. I fell asleep before the wedding was over.
Being a flower girl is hard work.

Mr. and Mrs. Steven Corbett
Congratulations Anna and Steven!

Oktoberfest

2010-10-08T19:15:00.001-05:00

I met Amelia at the Oktoberfest Saturday.
We watched the opening ceremony. It was performed by a local saddle club.
The first thing we decided to do was a pony ride!
My horse's name was Pee Wee. I loved riding him! I was only a tiny bit afraid (notice me squeezing my Mommy's hand).
Next, I wanted to visit the petting zoo. Amelia wanted no part of that, so we went our separate ways.
See him sticking his little pink tongue out?
Now THAT'S a pig!
I decided not to be afraid of balloons today - until it was time to leave. . . then I made Mommy put it in the trunk!
I played a fun fishing game.
And I climbed on the bouncy slide. . . again, and again, and again!

Whee!
There was live music at the Oktoberfest too. These sweet girls let me dance with them. I had so much fun!

Pumpkin Contest

2010-10-06T12:45:00.007-05:00

My teacher sent home a flyer about a no-carve pumpkin decorating contest that would be held at the Oktoberfest at my school. Mimi and Mommy and Daddy helped me decorate my pumpkin like Cinderella's coach.
Mommy and I picked the perfect pumpkin at Hart's Produce. Mommy borrowed some corn planters from a friend to use as wheels and Daddy built a carriage to hold the pumpkin.

We spray painted small pumpkins to be the mice.
We used a soap dish for the driver's seat, and coat hooks for the reign holders.
Mimi helped me screw in the screws.
Mommy and I screwed in cabinet drawer hinges for the doors.
I love this project!
Here are the mice!

And here is my pumpkin in the contest.
I won Honorable Mention - and a big box of junk toys! I couldn't have been happier!

Beautiful Sunset

2010-10-01T17:44:00.000-05:00

We saw a pink and purple sunset at Mama Flo's house. It was so pretty!

The Sign of the Cross

2010-09-29T17:28:00.002-05:00

I love, love, love, Holy Cross Catholic Preschool. I taught Mommy and Daddy what I learned.

First Pep Rally

2010-09-21T21:40:00.004-05:00

I got to go to my first pep rally at school today! Mommy was worried that it would be too loud for me. It wasn't! I loved it!

Go, Hawks, Go!

This is my new friend, Abidale (Abigail). Her mommy is a teacher too.

Ducks and Swingset with Amelia

2010-09-17T22:35:00.000-05:00

Amelia came over today for a visit. I was so happy to see her! Amelia and I have been going to Mother's Morning Out together for a long time. Before that, we played together at Baby Club. Since Amelia's birthday is in November, she doesn't get to go to Holy Cross until next year. I have been missing my friend! Amelia brought some bread for the ducks! We haven't been to see the ducks in a while. We walked to the lake.

Here they come!

Throw them some bread!

Here ducky, ducky, ducky!

YEA! The ducks were glad to see us and we were glad to see them.

Now let's play on the swingset!

Serious girl talk.

We finished our fun afternoon with a little sidewalk chalk.

Peace, Love & Hawks

2010-09-15T06:00:00.001-05:00

I have a new school spirit shirt. In addition to Holy Cross, I go to Mommy's school 2 days a week. Mommy and I both love pink so we were so happy to get pink school spirit shirts!

And look at my new shoes! Pink, sparkly, light up shoes . . . what more could a girl want?

Bed Hog

2010-09-13T22:22:00.003-05:00

In case you are wondering why my Mommy and Daddy seem so tired all the time . . .

I call this (king size bed) Mommy's, Daddy's, and my bed.

Restaurant

2010-09-10T21:50:00.007-05:00

Yesterday I had an ear appointment in Paducah. Mommy, Daddy and I drove through Murray on the way home. I was reading signs and the following conversation took place . . .

Me: I'm hungry.
Mommy: We'll get something to eat as soon as we get home.
Me: I want to go to a restaurant.
Mommy: laughs (because we rarely go out to eat), I will cook you some macaroni and cheese when we get home.
Me: Restaurants have macaroni and cheese.
Daddy: We don't have any money to go to a restaurant right now.
Me: whine, ok.

We got home and Mommy fixed my favorite, macaroni and cheese. Then it was bath time and bed time. While mommy was rocking me, this was our conversation (by the way, yes, I am 4, and yes, my Mommy still rocks me to sleep). . .

Me: Mommy, we can use some money from my piggy bank to go to a restaurant.
Mommy: laughs and hugs me, Oh Allie, that is so sweet. I think we can find some money to go to a restaurant, we don't have to use your money.
Me: It's otay, we can just dump out some money from my bank.

When I got home from school today, Daddy had already left for Alabama. He left me a note and $2o to take Mommy to a restaurant. I was so excited! After I called and thanked Daddy, Mommy and I discussed which restaurant we would go to.

Mommy: Do you want to go to a restaurant where you can eat pizza or macaroni and cheese.
Me: Macaroni and cheese!
Mommy: Hmmmm . . . I can't think of a restaurant that has macaroni and cheese.
Me: How 'bout that one we went to for your birthday . . . you know, the one with the animals (that is Patti's, by the way - a special occasion only restaurant).
Mommy: It takes a long time to drive to Patti's
Me: How 'bout the one we went to with Lori? It had macaroni and cheese (that one was in Jackson . . . O'Charley's).
Mommy: laughing her head off, That one takes a long time to get to too.

Mommy thought it was hysterical that my choices of restaurants were Patti's and O'Charley's. No McDonald's or Taco Bell or Chuck E. Cheese for me. Not even close this time! Mommy called 3 restaurants in town before finding one that serves macaroni and cheese. We ended up going to Ace's Pizza. Nana joined us. I was one happy girl.

Mommy: Allie, how is your macaroni and cheese?
Me: FANTASTIC! (yes, I really used this word)

Holy Cross Catholic Preschool

2010-09-07T22:24:00.003-05:00

Today was my first day at Holy Cross. My teacher, Miss Angie, came to my house to visit me shortly after I was born. I have been on the waiting list for Holy Cross since that visit. Miss Angie is special to Mommy because she taught kindergarten at the school where my Mommy taught, and Mommy had her youngest son as a student when he was in 1st grade. Holy Cross is the best preschool around!

As soon as I got to school, Mommy signed me in and I found my cubby and put my things away.

My face says it all here! I am beyond excited to be at Holy Cross today!

I put my picture in the pocket chart to tell Miss Angie I'm here.

Then I was off to play with my friends, Macey and Olivia. They both go to church with me. Soon after Mommy snapped this picture, we spotted Peter, the gerbil. I love him! I was so busy watching him that I wasn't even sad to see Mommy go. I had a great day!

Go Dog Go!

2010-08-31T21:47:00.003-05:00

For Rebekah . . . thank you for encouraging my Mommy to teach me to read, and for believing that I could do it!

Sweet Treat

2010-08-26T08:00:00.001-05:00

I am getting too big to ride in the cart at Wal-Mart. Mommy let me walk with her while she was doing her grocery shopping. Even though I picked up every box of sweet cereal and every box of gummies and tried putting them in the cart while Mommy was picking out a healthy cereal bar, she thought overall my behavior was very good. When we were at the check out, Mommy let me pick a treat. I picked a ring pop. Can you guess what color it was?

Costume Day

2010-08-24T08:00:00.001-05:00

I got to wear a costume to Mother's Morning Out! My choices were Cinderella, Fancy Nancy, or a cat. Guess what I chose? I love to pretend to be a kitty. Mommy made my day when she drew on whiskers and found these kitty ears.

Here are some of my friends and Miss Tina! Happy Costume Day!

Entertainment

2010-08-22T23:12:00.003-05:00

Mommy! There is a man at my window!!! Actually, this man and his crew provided hours of entertainment for me last week when they installed our new windows.

Frogs and Family

2010-08-14T21:22:00.002-05:00

Mommy and Nana and I went to Selmer to visit Mama Flo. I love my Mama Flo!

We went to my cousins' house so Emily could measure me for my flower girl dress for Anna's wedding.

Stand up straight and tall! Anna wants it to be this long. My cousin, Melissa, is making the most beautiful wedding dress for Anna. I got to see it and Anna's veil too. How very exciting!

Besides visiting my cousins, and playing at Mama Flo's house, my favorite thing do to in Selmer is to go to Mama Flo's church and see the bullfrogs at the pond there, and play on the playground. See the frog?

These frogs are huge. Bigger than any frogs Mommy and I have ever seen. We love to walk around the outside of the pond. As we go around, the frogs jump in and make big splashes. Sometimes they make the funniest "PEEP" before jumping. It makes me laugh every time!

After walking around the pond, I played on the playground a while.

King (or Kingy, as I call him) is so happy to see me when we visit!

Just a Peek

2010-08-08T12:23:00.005-05:00

Wow! Has it really been over a month since the blog has been updated? I'm so sorry. You see, we have just been entirely too busy to spend any time at home on the computer. I am going to give you a sneak peek of the things that have been keeping me busy. I promise to give each of these pictures a story soon! I will have more time now that summer vacation is over!

Swimming Lessons

2010-07-06T20:53:00.005-05:00

I started swimming lessons this week. The very first thing I had to to was sit on the steps and reach for a plastic ring that was on the step below me. Some of my friends were braver than me and reached right down and picked up their ring. This means their heads went all the way UNDER the water. I reached my ring with my toes and picked it up with my foot - I did NOT put my head under the water. My teacher, Miss Karla, tried all lesson long to get me to pick up that ring, but I just couldn't do it! Mommy was giving me a bath after swimming lessons. Our conversation went like this:
Mommy: Allie, are you going to reach that ring at swimming lessons tomorrow?
Me: If my arms grow longer I will.
Mommy thought this was hilarious.

On Day 2 of swimming lessons I felt a little braver. This is Miss Karla and me and some of my buddies. Miss Karla is trying to persuade me to blow bubbles.

Like this . . .

I finally got brave enough to put my mouth in the water and blow bubbles!

We played Ring Around the Rosie, but I did not go under the water all the way - only to my eyelashes, Miss Karla said. When it got time for our lesson to be over, Miss Karla asked, "Who is going to go under the water tomorrow?" All of my friends raised their hands and said "Meeeeee!" So, I did too. Miss Karla said, "Allie, you are going to go under the water tomorrow?" And I said, "NO . . . . today!" And I did!

After swimming lessons, I enjoyed swimming with my friends! Here's Caroline!
We also played a fun game called "Boat Wars." I am looking forward to swimming lessons tomorrow! By the way, Caroline and I are in the green "boat" and Amelia is in the blue "boat." My new friend, Ava is in the water.

4 Year-Old Stats

2010-07-01T08:00:00.000-05:00

I weigh 32 pounds and 4 ounces (25th percentile).

I am 37. 3 inches tall (10th percentile).

Goodbye Birthday Balloons

2010-06-30T08:00:00.000-05:00

I'm not a fan of balloons. I really am scared of them, but Mommy said birthday parties have to have balloons. Mommy meant to give the balloons away to my friends as they left my party, but she forgot. She did remember the party favor bags though!
This is as close as you are going to get me to a balloon.

We decided to let the balloons float away. I let Nana and Daddy hold onto them and let them go.

WOW!

There they go!

Bye balloons!

Toy Story 3 Birthday

2010-06-28T08:00:00.001-05:00

All of my pals came to watch Toy Story 3 and eat cake with me on my birthday!

I got a swipe of the icing before Mommy got my piece cut . . . I just couldn't wait!

Sweet friends!

My friends brought presents!

Can you believe I'm 4?

A "Fancy" Birthday

2010-06-26T22:38:00.006-05:00

One of my most favorite characters is Fancy Nancy. Mimi and Mama Kaye planned for me to go to Fancy Nancy's Tea Party to celebrate my birthday!

First things first . . . I had to get fancy. Look at all of my fancy swag!

I picked the Bonjour Butterfly ensemble!

I caught a glimpse of myself in Mimi's mirror.

PERFECT!

Aren't we fancy?!

Off we go to the Tea Room!

And then I saw her . . . FANCY NANCY herself!!!!

After the excitement of meeting Fancy Nancy, I drank some fancy tea.

I also ate some Cheetos fancily - please notice my pinkie. Fancy Nancy would be so proud.

After lunch I was so surprised that Fancy Nancy and all of the fancy ladies and girls at the tea party sang Happy Birthday to me. They even brought me cake and ice cream!

Thank you Mimi and Mama Kaye for making my birthday Fancy!

Happy Birthday, Sweet Allie!

2010-06-22T00:01:00.000-05:00

Ducks

2010-06-15T09:55:00.001-05:00

We have hardly had any time to visit the ducks this spring. When we walked down to the lake yesterday, I was thrilled to see this!

YEA for baby ducks!

Mama Flo's

2010-06-13T09:14:00.000-05:00

I got to spend some time at my Mama Flo's (my great-grandmother) house this past week. I had a wonderful time. We went to visit my cousins who live on a farm. Their blueberries and blackberries are beginning to ripen and they let me pick some!

This is Rebekah. She stayed at Mama Flo's with me one night. We played and played and played!

I ate the berries straight off of the bush. I wish we had a blueberry bush at my house!

YUM!

Here are the blackberries. I liked them too, but not as well as the blueberries.

Rebekah showed me how to pick the berries that were ripe.

While I was at Mama Flo's, I also made chocolate chip cookies for my Papa.

We found this turtle who we decided was very smart. He only poked his head out of his shell a tiny bit the whole time I was playing outside! As soon as I got close to him he hid!

I had lots of fun at Mama Flo's and I am looking forward to going back!

Chuck E. Cheese Birthday Celebration

2010-06-11T20:43:00.003-05:00

My birthday is coming up, June "twenty-seconds," you know. Amelia is going to be on vacation on my birthday, so she and her Mommy treated me to Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate my birthday! Wow! Wasn't that nice? Ms. Sharon got us these cute princess cups!

This was my favorite game . . . SpongeBob Bowling.

Concentrate . . .

I played this game lots of times! Look at all of my tickets!

I also enjoyed watching Amelia play this game (and dancing).

After we went to Chuck E. Cheese, we ran some errands and then Ms. Sharon got us ice cream!

Thanks, Amelia and Ms. Sharon for such a fun day!

Another Funny

2010-06-08T21:45:00.000-05:00

During the first few minutes that I was visiting the beach, I was a little nervous about the waves. I held Mommy and Daddy's hands very tightly as the waves got my feet wet.

Mommy let go of my hand and bent down to get a picture of my "sweet feet."

Since I couldn't hold onto her hand, I grabbed a fist-full of her hair. I wish this picture showed how tightly I had my Mommy by the hair. We laughed and laughed. Thanks to Mama Kaye for snapping this picture!

A Sand Castle Funny

2010-06-06T21:00:00.000-05:00

I know I told you about my sand castle already . . . here we are building it.

I told Mommy we needed more water. We walked to the ocean to get some.

But before I used it for my sand castle, I just had to get all that scratchy sand off of mt feet!

Orange Beach - Day 3

2010-06-04T21:18:00.000-05:00

Mama Kaye, Mommy and I hit the beach first thing! We found some great shells!

After visiting the beach, I decided I wanted to swim in the pool. At first, I didn't want to let go of Mommy. She explained that my floaties would help me to swim.

I decided to give them a try!

I'm so glad I did! I swam and swam and swam!

I made it all the way across the pool by myself!

YEA!!!!!

After all of that swimming, I took a good nap! When I woke up, there was more fun waiting for me - The Orange Beach Waterfront Park.

After playing at the park, we went to eat at Lester's. There was a band playing there. The guy on the far left came to our table and said he was going to play and sing a song for me! He sang, "Down By the Bay." I really enjoyed it!

Orange Beach - Day 2

2010-06-02T19:51:00.007-05:00

Our first stop of the day was the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo.
I really liked this pile of alligators!

I fed this "reindeer."

And this sheep!

This was my favorite part of the zoo. I rode it twice.

Stop two of day two was a dolphin cruise.

I was less than thrilled to wear a stinky, hot, life jacket.

Once the boat ride started, I felt much better.

This boat went with us. We traveled side by side, creating a wave for the dolphins to ride.

That was too much fun for me . . . I need a nap!

Ahhhhhh! Perfect. I knew that life jacket would come in handy for something.

Our last stop of the day was Adventure Island. I played lots of games and won lots of tickets! My favorite part though, was playing air hockey with Daddy.

Orange Beach - Day 1

2010-05-26T23:26:00.006-05:00

We made it to the beach!!

My preschool teacher, Miss Donna, asked me to bring her a seashell.
I found the perfect one!

Now, let's go see the water!

Sweet feet.

Sand castle time!

Then I swam in the pool with Daddy.

I can't wait for day 2!

Peaches

2010-05-14T19:02:00.003-05:00

Mommy's second born fur-baby, Peaches, has been very sick. She had to spend 2 nights at the vet's office. She stopped eating and drinking. The vet ran all kinds of tests and found nothing wrong. She came home yesterday and has slowly started eating again. She is still not feeling well. Mommy and Daddy have warned me not to pet her - to leave her alone. I just couldn't stand it any longer . . . while Mommy was putting the groceries away and Daddy was out of the room, I did it. I petted her. This is what happened. . .

I cried and cried. My feelings were hurt more than anything. I'll be glad when Peaches is well (not that she will let me pet her then either :)

Happy Mother's Day

2010-05-08T23:46:00.006-05:00

Happy Mother's Day to the sweetest mommy in the whole wide world.

Who's That Lady?

2010-05-08T21:30:00.002-05:00

Mommy took me grocery shopping this afternoon after we played at the park. We were in the dairy section when a lady walked up to us. She was old - really old and wrinkly. She had very large glasses. Her hair was in rollers (for church tomorrow I am sure) and her hair and her rollers were covered with a scarf. She had a very deep scratchy voice (Mommy said she surely is a smoker and has been for years). She told me how beautiful I was and how much I reminded her of her granddaughter. Mommy asked her how old her granddaughter was. She smiled and said "Oh she is grown now," and went on talking about how they grow up and move away and break your heart - whatever that means. I told her goodbye and that it was nice to meet her. As we were walking away, I looked at Mommy very seriously and said, "What was he, a pirate?" Mommy absolutely lost it . . . she laughed hysterically at me. I was serious . . . he/she looked and sounded just like a pirate to me. Later, in the bread aisle, we walked by the lady again. She said, "Tell your Mama she needs to get you into the movies. You are beautiful." I politely said, "Thank you" without even being prompted. Then as we walked away, I looked at Mommy and said "There's that pirate again!" Mommy cracked up again (after she double checked to make sure we were out of earshot of the sweet lady).

Carnival

2010-05-04T08:00:00.000-05:00

The "tarnaball" comes to town at Fish Fry time! I went with Amelia, Ms. Sharon, Nana, and Mommy. The weather was yucky! It had rained off and on all day, but Mommy and I had talked about how much fun it would be to go to the carnival this year. There was a break in the heavy rain, so we decided to go. We got sprinkled on just a little.
This was my favorite ride!

Amelia talked me into riding the roller coaster. I was relieved when it was over!

Nana rode this with me.

And this too (I was in a blue dragon)!

Maybe next year I'll ride this one (or maybe when I'm 25).

I had fun at the carnival despite the sprinkles (and the roller coaster).

Fish Fry Fun

2010-05-02T15:16:00.004-05:00

Papa and Nana went with me and Mommy to the Fish Fry Parade! I borrowed Papa's sunglasses!

What is on your hat, Nana? I like it!

Papa got me a surprise! What is it?

Forget the parade . . . I have a bubble gun!

My Mommy

2010-04-28T15:44:00.001-05:00

Ran a half-marathon. You can read about it here if you are interested!

Raggedy Ann and Andy

2010-04-23T08:00:00.000-05:00

Nana surprised me by MAKING me my very own Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy dolls. I love them! Thank you, Nana!

The Barnyard

2010-04-21T08:00:00.000-05:00

While Daddy was at the A-Day game, Mommy and I went to The Barnyard. It it way, way, way out in the sticks!

I fed the sheep,

and this pig,

and a goat.

I did NOT feed this donkey, he was too loud! HEEHAW!!!!!

I fed this piglet a bottle!

Can you believe I rode this pony . . . twice? I did ask Mommy to hold my hand though.

Hi, kid!

This turkey gobbled at me as loud as the donkey heehawed!

Llama, llama!

Look at this sweet chick!

I told Mommy I wanted to hold that gray one . . .

I reached right down and picked him up!

I loved on the bunnies.

After playing with all of the animals, I decided to play on the playground.

Before leaving, Mommy and I enjoyed a popsicle.

The Barnyard, in Tuscaloosa, AL, is a great place to visit!

"Slide Into Spring" Trip

2010-04-18T21:20:00.005-05:00

On Spring Break last week, the children of my church took a trip called Slide Into Spring. We went to Chuck E. Cheese - it's about an hour and a half from church. On the way, we stopped at 5 parks. We got out of the church vans and went down the slides at the parks as quickly as we could, then ran back to the vans. Here we are getting out of the vans . . .

. . . racing to the slides!

I went down the slide with Ms. Sharon (Amelia's Mommy)!

And I went down this one with her too.

Here are my church friends who went on the trip.

Pizza time!

Fun!

I loved playing air hockey.

Love this guy, too!

My favorite part of this trip was the ride home. Amelia and I laughed and laughed every time we went over a bump - maybe just to stay awake! I went to sleep in the car between church and home (that's about a 3 minute ride)!

Outside, Finally

2010-04-10T08:00:00.000-05:00

It's been a long, long winter! YEA SPRING!

Flowers

2010-04-08T08:02:00.000-05:00

The weather has been so beautiful that Mommy and Papa and Nana and I decided to look for some flowers to plant. We learned very quickly that we should have called Mimi or Mama Kaye before we went shopping, because all that was at the nursery were pansies and marigolds. Mommy doesn't know a lot about gardening, but she does know these are fall flowers. I really want some ye-yoh flowers. We'll go back in a couple of weeks.

I enjoyed looking at all of the plants.

Pulling the labels out and "reading" them was as much fun as looking at the flowers.

I stomped on the ground covering and the pebbles on the ground bounced. I laughed and laughed and stomped and stomped.

What a fountain! I asked for a drink. Mommy said no.

What are these? Let's read the label!

Thanks for going flower shopping with me, Papa and Nana. Maybe we can find some ye-yoh flowers next week!

Eating Boiled Eggs

2010-04-06T16:00:00.000-05:00

Mommy thought this deserved a post all of its own.
I am a very picky eater in case you didn't know. I am just like my Daddy - in that, I know if I like the way something tastes just by looking at it. So, you can imagine Mommy's shock when I asked her if I could eat one of the hard boiled eggs that Amelia and I colored. Mommy said, "Sure!" but warned me it was not a sweet treat.

Can you see that tiny bite I got? Bet you thought it was going to be a big one . . . so did Mommy!

"Where can I spit this out?" was my next question.

Amelia tried a hard boiled egg too!

Although her face does not look sure, she did enjoy her egg.

She ate it all!

Mmmmmmm mmmmmm!

Happy Easter!

2010-04-04T15:00:00.000-05:00

I hope you have lots of time to spend on my blog today. . . this is a long post!
Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny was good to me. He brought me an Easter puppy. . .

. . .and some M's . . .

. . . and Skittles . . .

. . . and a George DVD . . .

. . . and best of all, my first pair of flip flops!

Mommy and I went to church. The children brought flowers to decorate the cross in the sanctuary.

Mommy helped me make an Easter Bunny cake. I am not afraid of the mixer any more.

Mainly because I know I can lick the beater when the cake batter is in the pan!

I got a bath while the cake was cooking and cooling. Mommy cut the cake so it would look like a bunny wearing a bow tie!

I only asked Mommy 527 times if I could lick the icing while we were icing the cake. She let me lick the icing and she kept on working.

After I ate some icing, I helped Mommy put eyes, a nose, a mouth, ears, whiskers, and a bow tie on the bunny.

Delicious Bunny Cake!

A Day at Amelia's

2010-04-03T21:35:00.000-05:00

I spent Friday morning at Amelia's house. First, we colored Easter eggs.

After they dried, we decorated them with stickers.

Next, we went on an egg hunt.

We played outside for a while, and then we had a picnic.

We played a little more, then we planted seeds - sunflowers and tomatoes.

Mother's Morning Out Egg Hunt

2010-04-02T21:11:00.005-05:00

Do you like my bunny hat?

We are ready to hunt eggs!

Ready . . . set . . . go!

I would like to get these eggs but I would not like for these bushes to touch my hand!

YEA!

Look at my loot!

*GASP* SKITTLES!!!!!! My favorite!

Breakfast with the Easter Bunny

2010-03-27T14:07:00.007-05:00

Today I got to have breakfast with the Easter Bunny! My best friend, Amelia was there too. We had a great time!

Ready for an egg hunt!

My friend, Caitlyn asked if she could come help me hunt eggs. Of course, I said, "SURE!"

This year the preschool aged children got their very own spot to hunt eggs - in the playground area! Look at all of those eggs!

Caitlyn is giving me some egg hunting tips.

Ready, set, go!

There's one!

Wow! Look at my basket! It's full!

Egg hunt #2 - this time I went with Amelia.

Sweet Friends!

We checked out our loot before we left! I might have enough candy to last until my next egg hunt (it's Tuesday).

My Nana went too! We had so much fun!

March Birthdays

2010-03-25T15:20:00.003-05:00

March is a popular birthday month in my family. Mama Kaye celebrates a birthday in March. Today is Mimi's birthday, and yesterday was Lori's birthday. Happy Birthday!

I went to Nana's house yesterday to celebrate Lori's birthday. Nana made Lori's favorite - Banana Split Cake. It has a Double Stuff Oreo cookie crust, a layer of sliced bananas, a layer of vanilla ice cream, a layer of strawberry ice cream, and Cool Whip on top. Yummy!

Lori was so sweet to let me help her blow out her candles.

Happy Birthday!

"Old Lady Golfing" With Papa

2010-03-21T16:15:00.002-05:00

On Sunday afternoons, sometimes I go visit my Papa at work. He always takes time to play with me and we have so much fun! Last week, he took me to see a bird nest. Sometimes he spins me around and around in his chair. He plays hide-and-seek, and my favorite, the tickle-chase game. Papa has a cup full of bouncy balls on his desk that I always dump out on the floor and play with. This week I found some golf tees while I was chasing bouncy balls around his office. Papa and I played a new game today!
First, you have to put a bouncy ball on the golf tee.

Here's a closer look (if you were wondering, yes, my Papa uses a SpongeBob pencil :) )

Then, you knock the bouncy ball, or "old lady" as I called it today, off. Then you chase the bouncy ball around the floor yelling, "Come back here, you old lady." Then, you do it again!

You can also use your fist or a poster tube to knock the "old lady" off the tee.

It was a fun game that I am sure I will play again and again with my Papa!

Happy Mr. Krab's Day

2010-03-18T17:33:00.002-05:00

Me: Mommy can today be Mr. Krabs' day since yesterday was Patrick's Day?
Mommy: laugh, laugh, laugh . . .Of course today can be Mr. Krabs' Day!
