Time with Mommy & Daddy

Lazy Days at home

Dancing with Sammy always makes me laugh!


I look like I'm up to no good - and I was! Right before Mommy snapped this picture I was hiding my gummy snacks under the coffee table.

Don't I look innocent and sweet though?

Gym Class

Here I am with my teacher Ms. Carly - learning to walk on the balance beams.


I can do it by myself on the small balance beams!

I love swinging on the bars.

I finally learned to jump!!

I'm back!

It's been a long time since Mommy or myself have updated my blog so I wanted to give you all an update on how I've been! As you can see I'm really growing now! With my second birthday almost here, I've really been changing! I still stay at home with Mommy through the week and we try to make it home to Statesville to visit our family when we can. I have a surgery coming up February 6 - let me tell you a little about that.... Mommy and Daddy found a small lump on the left side of my eyebrow and took me to the doctor. After a check-up they determined it was a dermatoid cyst and should be removed soon. The doctors assured my Mommy and Daddy that it wasn't anything to be overly worried about and that it is fairly common in little ones. During my outpatient surgery they are going to remove the cyst and the piece of bone that it is attached to - and I will have minimal scarring. Please make sure to remember me in your prayers. Other than that, I've been in gym class every week learning new things and helping Mommy with chores around the house. She says I'm a very good helper.

Gobblins and Ghosts and Witches! OH MY!

It's the wicked witch of Greensboro! Thought I'd tell you all about my Halloween fun!




When are we going trick or treating!!!?



Here I am with my neighbor friends getting ready to go - these girls are pros at this so I thought I'd tag along with them.




With my Elmo basket and my witch hat on, I was ready to get the trick or treating started! I was very eager to go to each house and get some candy, I even tried to walk in a few houses. I wouldn't let anyone put any candy in my bucket, I preferred to do it myself!

Here I am with Daddy hurrying to the next house! And seeing all the kids dressed up was cool too! There were lots of princesses and supermans.

"Mom can I eat this now?"

Like I mentioned before, no one was gonna get their hands on my Elmo bucket or my candy!

We did run into a few somewhat scary creatures, like this guy. He decorated his entire garage like a haunted mansion! Still, I saw the candy and had Daddy take me in.

The best part was getting to enjoy some of my candy! The suckers were my favorite! Don't worry Mommy and Daddy only let me have one.

Man, theses things are good!

Halloween was lots of fun! (especially getting lots of candy!)

Random times with Miss Mackey

Look what we found in our backyard!!! A TURTLE!! Mommy and Daddy don't know how it got there since our yard is fenced in. And no we didn't keep it, Mommy says 2 dogs and a fish are plenty animals! We did take the turtle back down to the creek and left him there. At first I was scared to touch him but during our walk to the creek, I carried him close to me without dropping him.


As you can see by the excitement on Dixie's face, she loves to be tortured by me! I love to take her bones and treats and hide them. Then when she walks away, I pull on her tail. Poor Dixie didn't know life was so good until I came along!

Mommy and Daddy are going to the Notre Dame vs. Carolina game this weekend! Daddy is unbelievably excited! He can't stop talking about it! So Daddy, this is for the fighting Irish - We're # 1!!!!!!!!

Bur-Mil Park

Here we are yesterday spending the day at Bur-Mil Park. We had a big picnic and went for a long walk around the park. In this picture, I'm walking out on a fishing dock.

Daddy points out the fish to me.

Then we went to the playground - which I might add is always my favorite! I love the swings!

I was jumping off the ground to get to the slides!

Here I go down this big slide all by myself!!!

After a long day here, I was ready to go! I fell asleep quickly in the car.

Blowing Rock

We went to Blowing Rock this past weekend! It's a new tradition for us to go the first weekend in October. My Gammy and PawPaw joined us. We went shopping at the Tanger outlets for clothes for me. Then we went to eat at Nathanial Boone Inn. It was soooo delicious. It's like family style! They bring everything out at once and you eat as much as you like. I ate sooo much!


My Daddy and I. He's growing out his beard so he looks a little different - he says it brings luck for the fighting Irish! Go Notre Dame!

Here's Mommy and me.

Mommy and I sharing some laughs. Apparently she thinks it's hilarious when I sound like a frog.
