Snakes, Tigers, and Taylor...

My cousin, Taylor, and I had a blast at the Natural Science Center!! Just look at all that we saw!!

Taylor and I made sure we didn't miss one thing that day!

Take a look at this little Lemur! He only has 1 arm!! Poor little guy! But he didn't seem to mind! He was chowin down on the watermelons provided by the Science Center!

AWWW, is this big floppy rabbit not the absolute cutest thing you have ever seen?! And his fur! Oh my, how soft!! Sooo adorable!

YIKESS!! Yes ladies and gentlemen, your eyes are not playing tricks, this is indeed a real snake!! But he was super friendly! I pet him and so did my mommy. Taylor, like most girls are terrified of snakes. She did put one finger on it, kudos my dear cousin!! His skin felt soo smooth!! Do you think my mommy will let me have one of these?? I'll have to find the perfect time to ask....wink wink!

My cutie pa-tootie cousin Taylor, her mommy, me and my mommy went to the Natural Science Center http://www.natsci.org/ last Wednesday! Boy, was it oodles of fun! It was Watermelon day! So cute! All of the animals, (yes all) tigers, horses, birds, goats, sheep, monkeys, lemurs and wolves were eating watermelon. Even Taylor and I had some, it was oh so delish!! We got some on our shirts but our mommy's didn't care! It was hot as...well something that is really really really hot, outside! We were sweatin like little stuffed pigs!

Both of us were interested in much more than the camara...so much to see!

Momma's Bday

Mommy's lovely cake from Daddy! Daddy did a good job! Mommy loved it!

Saturday night, we went out to dinner to celebrate my Mommy's birthday! Also, I'm half a year older now! We went to eat at Kabuto and had a delicious dinner! I even used chopsticks folks!





Mommy, and Aunt Heather, and Nanny met for lunch on Sunday at Macarroni Grill...

We had a yummy dinner...I was a little afraid of the fire (you know..when they cook in front of you at the table...the cooks apparently think its really cool to scare the heeby-jeebys out of the guests by lighting various foods on fire...I, however; would like to suggest that thier pyromania antics are not funny).

Zoo Trip = WAAAAY HOT!

Mommy, Daddy and I went to the zoo last Friday..... it was waaaaay too hott! My momma is crazy for thinking it was "perfect weather"...but on the contrary, we had a splendid time!! They have a 4D Dora and Diego show which was THE MOST AMAZING THING EVER!! The seats vibrated, water sprayed from the ceiling, we wore 3D glasses, (catching breath), I mean it was sooo real! Mommy and I watched it twice! (I think Mommy liked it as much as me!) Oh, it was oodles of fun!

OK, So yes we went to the zoo...and we saw every animal you can imagine! Well except there were no hippos, zebras, or tigers...but on the positive note..the ELEPHANTS WERE THIIIIIS BIG! (see below...*wink*)

I loved watching the snakes...weird I know, but Daddy and I find them sooo facinating! Touching them...well that's another story (ugh!..no way!)

Look! They have a new honey bee exhibit at the zoo! YOWZA! Gotta be careful here folks! These bees are real and yes they sting! But out of the thousands of bees ~ I FOUND THE QUEEN BEE!! See the one in the pic with the green dot? Well that's her! And you know what we learned, this momma lays like a thousand eggs a day! Whew! Poor thing!

Ok...kisses and hugs...

gone far too long....

my dearest family and friends! I APOLOGIZE sincerely for not updating you in quite a while....

now...hmmmm....where to begin....

I last posted in January! Wow! OHHH MY GAHHH, how time flies!

Ok, since January, I turned 3, learned to ride a bike, went on several vacations, grew TALLER, got sassier ;) and finished up my first semester at preschool! Oh, and found a new love for Hannah Montanna, and singing...

Mommy and Daddy are good...working, schooling...you know the normal "adult stuff"

ok...so let me begin with turning 3! I had a DORA birthday party, because, well, Dora is so fabulous!

Ok, I digress....let me tell you, well update you on life as a 3 year old! I'm very well spoken....it may take me a little time to warm up, but boy once I do...I could talk for hours! Also, my parents says I'm becomming a very strategic thinker...asking lots of questions...you know...needing to know all the answers.

I'm very into reading! I love love LOVE books! The bookshelf in my room is huge...and piled with tons of books! Nothing is better than a rainy day with stacks of books to read!

I also love photography....I know, I know.."seriously, she's 3?" But honestly, if you could see me with a camara (ask my Gammy and PawPaw too!), you would probably be amazed! I really enjoy taking pictures...and not just your average "say cheese, this is gonna be cute" picture...I'm talking: flowers, animals, nature, people, just random things...I love it...I'll post some to show you later.. Maybe this talent is like one of those hidden talents where I could be like, I don't know, AMAZING at it!? Ha! For now, it's just fun...

For those of you who haven't gotten one of my beautifully painted pieces of artwork (no exaggeration, *smiles*), not to worry...Mommy and Daddy have tons to share! I'm loving painting lately! I'm talking, construction paper, an easel of like 9 paints, 13 paint brushes (yes, this is serious) - I just love making colorful things...

I've been spending the summer at the pool soaking in the Vitamin D (hello sunshine!!) every single day, getting in some play time with my friends and family and doing all the things I love (like eating chocolate icecream EVERY SINGLE DAY! *smiles bigger*)

More pics to come soon...as you can see, by the timing of this post...it's ummm...past my bedtime (sighs), but I promise to be back soon....

Kisses, Hugs, and Smiles to all

wow....its been a while!

Hey Friends and Family! It's been far too long I know, but trust me I have been sooo busy lately! Let's see....first I will update you on my birthday... So as you know I turned the big 3! Hard to believe, isn't it!? I had a really fun Dora party (because I'm a huge Dora fan, and insisted that my mother buy everything Dora)! It was fun to hang with my friends and family! I missed the rest of my family that were unable to make it. Mommy and Daddy made sure that my birthday was extra special...as they always do!

Ok, so enough about my super fabulous party! Ok in March, Mommy and Daddy and I went on a little vacation to the beach...we needed some rest and relaxation! It was so nice and perfect weather! It was still a little too chilly for swimming but our hotel had really nice indoor heated pools and lazy rivers! So much fun!

I’m a DANCER!

I started dance classes last Friday! The class I’m in is called Creative Movement! It’s for 3 to 5 year olds! I absolutely love it!! I have been learning how to do ballet twirls, ballet walks, and much much more! I will keep you posted on how it goes!

Helping the Kids in Haiti

Mommy and I made special Hygiene Kits to help children in Haiti who lost their homes and families because of the earthquake…

These are the bags we made! If you are interested in helping out, you can contact the American Red Cross!

My First Dentist Trip!

I went to the dentist for the first time in early January! I did fine until the dental hygienist wanted to clean my teeth, I got a little scared! But after that, I was so excited to have such shiny teeth! My dentist, Dr. Mike, was super nice and very kid-friendly – which made the experience sooo much better!

MY NEW SCHOOL!

Guess what!! I started a new school! I go on Tuesday and Thursdays from 9 until 1 and I absolutely have been loving it!! I learn Spanish, get to go to an arts center for painting, and learn about new things! It’s so much fun!

I Had A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 

Here are some of my new Christmas things – I had such a wonderful Christmas at home with Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Heather & Glenn, Nanny, Gammy & PawPaw! I got way too many presents and ate too much food – but it was fun!! Santa came to my house, ate all the cookies I left out for him, took the carrots for his reindeer, drank most of the milk, and there was some snow left on the floor near the chimney where he came down!! I couldn’t believe it! Overall, it was just magical! What a wonderful time!

Christmas Fun!!

Here is my dog, Dixie posing for the camara at my tree!


Me, Dixie and Sammy in my room hanging out!


I was trying on my Christmas dress!

Mommy took me to go see the new movie "Princess and the Frog"! I wanted to dress up like a princess to go see it so I wore this!! The movie was soooooo cute!! I highly recommend it!!

Santa Clause is Coming to Town!!

Santa Clause came to visit all the children in my neighborhood!! I was a little scared of him because of his big white hairy beard and white gloves! I did ask him for a computer and gum!


He was really nice and friendly just as I suspected!



He even brought special goodies for all the kids!!
