Pimpin' Poolside

2009-06-21T17:59:00.000-07:00

My friend Zoe had her third birthday party this weekend. I was in attendance and was happy to find a very nice giraffe pool, sand turtle, and choo-choo water table. We had a great time! Zoe is a very gracious hostess and the company was wonderful. In the picture, you can see that I was working my hardest to get some digits. Lucky for me, Mommy calls Zoe's house alot.

First Day at the Zoo 2009

2009-04-19T19:13:00.000-07:00

My Mommy and Daddy took Kayla and me to the coolest place today. We got rained on alot, but it was really fun. We saw elephants and giraffes, gibbons and kitty cats, manatees, lions, and bears...oh my! I even got to ride a choo-choo and pet a hedgehog! And I hoo-hooed at a hoot owl close up! Mommy says we will go back soon. I can't wait! There are also birdies ALL OVER the place...oh, and squirrels, but they are really fast, couldn't catch even one...and lots of fish......

ABC's

So, I'm not feeling very good. I had thrown up all day long and then spent 4.5 hours in a little room with Mommy and Daddy at a place called Urgent Care. I thought I knew a definition for "urgent" but maybe I was wrong. Anyway...when I finally could have a popsicle or two, it was like 11:30. I felt so much better, I thought I'd sing to Mommy's new camera. By the way, feeling much better now...and I have to say, this isn't my best performance, but it'll do.

Silly Rabbit, Trix are for kids...

Come on...seriously? I think this should be emailed immediately to the General Mills, don't you?

Would you like some biscuits?

2009-03-29T13:17:00.000-07:00

My grandma taught me how to make these things called "biscuits" this weekend. It was fun. First, I got to stick my fingers in some sticky stuff...which is always a good time. Then I got to stretch it out and flip it around and smash it, etc. It was a good time. Then I used one of those broken sippy cups to make that sticky stuff into a circle. After that, Grandma put them all on a baking sheet and in that black thing that gets hot. After they cooled off, I got to eat some. They taste better after they have been cooked, just so that you know...I wish someone would have given me a head's up.

She thinks my tractor's sexy...

So, Troy and I are all pumped up about this evening. We finally have good weather and a couple of good hours before bedtime for Joey to try out his new John Deere. He sees it in the back yard, yells "Joey's twactoor!" and runs over to it. "Here we go!" we thought. He hops on, Troy hits the accelerator and he takes off, laughs, hits it again, laughs, stops, hops off and refuses to get on again. HA! He just says, "Push it! Push it!" So maybe he's not a farmer, just a Salt 'n Pepa fan. Ah, wait til Pa gets here...there will be some tractoring then!

Fun at the Dayton Mall

2009-02-15T18:53:00.000-08:00

Peek - A - Boo! I see you!

Wait a minute! Is that a sweet ride that I spy?

Oh, yeah!

Figures I would have to push it.

My Auntie Andrea gave me this shirt for Christmas. My Mommy says that archeologists need to have the rigth tools, so she gave me a couple of paintbrushes to practice uncovering artifacts carefully. So far it's just not as exciting as the movies. I'm gonna have to talk to Auntie Andrea about that...

The Remaining Igloo

2009-02-14T12:05:00.000-08:00

Kayla's igloo was so so well - built that it stuck around quite some time after our surprise thaw last week. Maybe she has a future in construction...architecture...real estate mogul...who knows?

This Bed is Too Small and the Poridge is Too Hot

2009-02-14T11:28:00.000-08:00

My Dad made this cradle for my Cabbage Patch Kids when I was a little girl. I think Joey is way cuter than the CPK's ever even thought about being.

Too Tired to Really Dance

2009-02-08T18:05:00.000-08:00

Yes, I'm tired. Usually I dance to "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Polka," but today, I can barely get out the "wah, wah waaaah."

Froggie has to Potty

2009-02-06T20:19:00.000-08:00

I was very excited to hear Joey say, "Go potty!" I said, "all right, let's go! DO you have to go potty, Joey?" "No, Proggie potty! Proggie poops!"

So, my hopes of cute Transformer undies dashed, we take Froggie to the bathroom.

Joey and Kayla in the Snow

2009-02-04T09:49:00.000-08:00

Joey and Kayla had a good time playing in the snow this weekend. Kayla made a big igloo in the backyard too. Here are a few shots of them playing together out front...in the balmy 40 degree weather.

Froggie has to stay home.

2009-01-31T18:19:00.000-08:00

me: C'mon, Joey, let's go bye-bye!
Joey: C'mon, Broggie, bye-bye...
and the wrestling commenced out the door...really, there are smaller toys from which to choose...

So I says to Grandma...

2009-01-30T14:40:00.000-08:00

Grandma, I like this froggie...I like it alot. Yes, I know it is too large and cumbersome for me to carry, but if I trip it provides a wonderfully squishy fall. Also, Grandma, I do not have a large froggie at my house, especially one with hearts and ribbons and such lovely eyes. 'Tis true that I have other large stuffed animals, but...I like this froggie Grandma.

The Joey Crashes!

2009-01-29T12:34:00.000-08:00

AHHHHHHHHH! Don't worry, no serious injuries!

The Joey Sleds

2009-01-29T11:54:00.000-08:00

Who knew I had such good balance in such a wide snowsuit?

Snow!

2009-01-28T11:02:00.000-08:00

Look at all this fluffy, cold, white stuff! I wonder what it is and how it got here? It appears to be falling from the sky, but those pieces are so little...and there is so much of it on the ground. If all this is made up of those little things, that's a whole bunch of little things! Let's count them...one two, tree, pibe!

Let's try this out...

I am not totally sure about why I'm starting this blog. It seems like a cool way to share information with my friends and family, which is a very important thing to me. I'm hoping that I will be able to keep up with this and put it to good use.
