Happy 4th of July

Daddy started the celebration by lighting sparklers with Nick and I.

I loved running around seeing the sparklers make smoke.I didn't want my mommy to spend time hugging on me...ugh!But, Nick was so happy to see his mom!On the 4th of July we went to my Papa and Grandma's house for Big party. There were lots of people there. We celebrated Keisha's 11th birthday and I was able to hit my first pinata. I LOVED it! I was like an old pro at swinging the bat.Here I am picking up my loot!Now I get to enjoy my loot....yummy M&M's.M&M face :-)This was our stash of fireworks. I stayed up to see them, but.....
They were just okay at first......Then I got a little bit nervous.....Then I buried myself in between my mommy and my grandma and begged to go home...we left early, but I still got to see some of the firework extravaganza!My Uncle Michael impressed everyone with some pretty cool fireworks.

We even were able to see fireworks from the neighbors...what a great day!

Sprinkler Fun

The other day my mom and dad set up the sprinkler so that I could run around and play. I had a great time! The water was really cold, but I didn't care...I did a lot of running and then told my mom and dad that I was all wet!

Ahh! Something cool to drink after lots and lots of running....refreshing!

I also went to a sprinkle park with my mom and Grandma. I was kind of chilly out to start, but it ended up being a great morning. My friend Hannah and her mommy were also at the park. We try to go to the park on Tuesdays to meet new friends from our MOPS group. We've been very blessed to meet Hannah and her mom, Becky. They really love the Lord and they also live only a mile away. Thank you God for putting them in our lives.

Running, running, running through the sprinklers!!!!

Where does that water come from??

I liked looking at the sprinklers more than I liked going through them. The water was really cold!!! I also liked climbing up the BIG hill and running around in the sandy areas with the climbing structures. It was a wonderful morning and I was sooooo happy my Grandma was able to come with me. I love making special memories.

I made it to the top!

On my way down!!!

Tutor Time and Play Time

A lot has happened in my little life since my mom last sat down to blog. The pics below are of my and my buddy Nick. My mom tutors him 2x per week and I love it because we also get bunches of time to hang out with each other. I think Nick is really cool...he's like my big brother!

This pic is of me stealing some of Nick's watermelon ...it was soooooooo good!

I also had a VERY fun play date last week with my friend Hannah. We had a great time! We shared toys together and my mommy and her mommy got to hang out and chat. We even spent some time rockin' away on the rocker. Isn't she adorable?!?!?! I can't wait to play with her again :-).

Me

Hi everyone!

Well, I was supposed to go to the Splash Park with my friends today, but the weather did not cooperate. Soooo, my mom let me make pudding pops as a treat and I even got to stir!!! I can't wait to eat one for snack time this afternoon.

When we were all done my mom told me to go to my room to get dressed because we were going to Chuck E. Cheese! I've been asking to go see the mouse for a long time...I was so excited. When we got there we bought some tokens and then I ran to see the mouse. I like him a lot from 10 feet away in my mom's arms, but I didn't really like him up close. The rides were a lot of fun though and I spent a lot of time running around and climbing in the play structure.

I was determined to learn how to put the tokens in all by myself...after a few tries I did it!!

I also wanted to tell you about my weekend. I went to a summer fun party at my Grandma and Papa's house on Saturday and then I went to my friends Lilly's b-day party on Sunday at Belle Isle Park. It was a great weekend!!Lilly LOVED her cake and I LOVED looking at her presents :-)Dad and I enjoyed hanging out looking at the water together.

Phew! I'm getting kind of sleepy. I'm going to go take a little nap now and then I will add pics of my time in the pool a little later (it won't be until after I enjoy my pudding pop though) :-) Have a great afternoon - I'll add to this blog later tonight.

Well, I'm back and sporting a pic of my big belly. I had so much fun doing this. I gave a huge ball to my mom and three balls to my dad and told them "put on - butt button (belly button)." we all laughed a lot and had a lot of fun. Anyway, as promised - here are a few of my pool pics. I had a lot of fun playing with my Grandma and my Uncle Michael in the pool. I love summer!

The pool was soooo much fun, but once I got out I was super tired and couldn't wait to take a nap. It isn't very often that I ask for nap time, but a day in the pool made me extra sleepy and I asked mom for my "blue" stuffed animal and fell right asleep.
Well, I will try to get my mom to post more after the big 4th of July weekend. My plans leading up the weekend are to spend some time with my Aunna on Wednesday while my mom and dad go out to lunch, have my friend Hannah and her mommy Becky over for some fun play time on Thursday, and then some more fun time with my Aunna on Friday while my mom and dad go to the movies to see "The Proposal." Then Saturday is the big party at my Grandma and Papa's house. Mom said that she would wake me up to see my first look at fireworks...I can't wait...mom hopes I'm not scared.

Have a great week everyone!!!
