Making cookies

Mommy and I made cookies. Daddy was really hungary for them, so mommy let me stir and dump in the stuff to make them. They turned out really good. P.S. this is the way that I smile now when asked to smile for the camera.

Fireworks

On the 4th we didn't do much but go to grandma and grandpas for dinner. Then mommy, daddy, me, grandma and aunt donz when to see the fireworks at the fairgrounds. They were really loud and I didn't like them at first, but then i got used to them and they were ok. I had more fun playing in the rocks in the parking lot. But a few days before my friend bethany shared her sparklers with me and I liked them a whole lot.

The Zoo

We went to the zoo!!! It was so cool. I got to see all kinds of animals, my favorite was the zebras. I also got to ride the train and the merry go round and the log simulation ride ( it was like a roller coaster!). They had this new thing there, mommy said it was dinosaures. They moved and roared and were really scary. Mommy said they were not real, but I don't know. There were lots of animal statues to take our pictures with, this is me on a blue frog. I got really sleepy when we stopped to see the sea lion show and fell asleep on grannys lap. They put me in the stroller and I slept through a rain storm and two animal houses that were really loud becasue everyone took shelter from the rain in them. It was a really good day... I hope to go back soon.

Magic...

while in St. Louis, mommy, ganny bert, bethy and I went to the Magic House. It was really fun. There were all kinds of kids running around everywhere and I wanted to run too, but mommy wouldn't let me. It was really fun to get to touch anything that I wanted though. These are some pictures of me going over the rope bridge and laying with the balls that hung in the air ( still can't figure out how they do that but it was my favorite!).

So Sorry

Mommy and I are terribly sorry for such the delay in postings. We have been horribly busy doing not alot of anything and have not taken any new pictures in a long time. We are planning a trip to St. Louis this week to visit the Zoo (my first time and i am sooooo excited to see all the animals) and also do lots of other cool stuff. We will have new pictures soon. On another note if you did not already know, my mommy has decided to go back to work... she got a job here at the middle school as the counselor. I am excited becuase now i get to go stay next door at the neighbors house as my babysitter and I love going there to play. Well, check in later this week for some new pictures and some exciting stories.

Swingset

This is my new swingset. I am so lucky that mommy got this for me. I love it and ask to play on in every morning when i wake up. One of the ladies that mommy works with sold her house and at her new house the yard is too small for this so mommy bought it for me. It took one afternoon, five people, and uncle garys truck and trailer to move it but it was worth it. It has three swings, a slide, a fort, rock stairs, bar/rings, and a climbing rope. It also has a telescope, steering wheel and water cannon that hooks into the hose in the fort. It is also supposed to have a sand box in the bottom of the fort, but mommy and daddy just moved my old sandbox behind it so we could still have the lid that covers it. Just wanted to share my new toy....

Cheerleader

This is my new cheerleader outfit that mommy got for me. I have a shirt, skirt and even pom poms. I like to wear it alot and say "rah rah". Mommy has gotten me lots of play dressup clothes at garage sales. Now i think that everything that she brings me comes from them, when anyone asks where i got something, i usually say at a garage sale, even if it wasn't.
