Christmas 2008

I got a barn and some animals for Christmas that I really like!

Did you know that Santa says, "Ho, ho, ho!"?

Lambie really loves Christmas too and I got a fuzzy vest so I could look like lambie.

Winter Wonderland

We have a lot of snow at grandpa & grandma's house.
























I tried sledding but I didn't like the cold snow in my face. Later, daddy made me a bunny hill and I liked sledding with him on it. :)










I helped daddy make a snowman and mommy snuggled me when my hands got "too windy".

Pumpkin Hunting

I went "kumpin" hunting in Spokane and daddy gave me a ride in the wheel barrow.

I searched and searched for just the right "kumpin" but they were all so big! The white one was pretty, but I couldn't carry it.




























I wanted a "kumpin" that I could carry all by myself and I finally found one!

Spokane Visit

I went to visit grandma & grandpa, uncle nathan & aunt jessica, uncle kyle & aunt shelly and uncle ike & aunt tiff and had lots of fun!

I got to ride the carousel twice because I love it so much! Once I rode on the tiger and then on the giraffe. There were so many animals to choose from. It was hard to decide.


Grandpa & grandma took me to "build a bear" and I got to make my own T-rex. It was so exciting! He has a heart hiding inside him and he says "Grrrrrr".






Grandpa & grandma also let me buy a purple cowgirl hat and animals to play with at Big R. I like shopping at Big R :)

Summer Refreshment

Gotta love the kiddie pools.

Cherry Picker

Like i said, i loves me some good food.

Yummy Tummy

I loves me some good food.

I turned TWO!

I turned 2, and had a birthday party! We danced in the park to a cuban band, had a picnic, and my friends came to celebrate. Aunt Jess made me a bunny cake with a raspberry nose, and a blueberry eye. PapaRico helped me blow out the candle. (Now to be honest, this is not my first birthday celebration of the year! We also celebrated in California at the Battles Reunion, and at Nanny's house in Corbett on the fourth of July. It has been a busy birthday month!)














Here is a picture of aunt jess and me.

Mama's Cherry Tomatoes

Mmmm.... I love Mama's cherry tomatoes! I have pretty much eaten all of them. I'd say about 90%. I save a few for Mom and Dad, but they have access to the fridge and I don't! These are right at my level, so that means I should get most of them. The other day, I discovered what mom means when she says "ripe". You see, I was happily picking the red ones (Mama always says "pick the red ones!), and wondered "well why not the green, also?" So I picked a green one, and Mama said "okay, eat it!" Blech! NOT yummy. So now I am sticking with the red ones (and occasionally orange).

Beach Family Reunion

I had so much fun at the beach!
I played with my cousin, Mark, swung with daddy, found my shadow and rode the carousel with mommy!

Disneyland!

I had lots of fun at Disneyland! Mommy & daddy did too :) I was a little bit tired from all the excitement and fell asleep before the light show:(

Grandma's Hat

I put on grandma's cowboy hat,
but this is the only way it fit in my car seat.
Am I cute or what?

Swimming with Grandpa

I went swimming with my grandpa and it was lots of fun!

"Shoppa"

When Grandpa & Grandma come to see me they will take me "shoppa" for my birthday. I'm ready to go!

"I trampa!"

I love to jump on the trampoline at my nanny & poppy's house! Here I am playing on it with my dad. We have so much fun jumping.


Usually I fall down, but this time daddy did. :>)

My New Friend

This is my new friend Isabella. Actually, we are sort of related. My Uncle Isaac is married to her Aunt Tiffany. "Bella" likes to push me around in the stroller and jump on Grandma's little trampoline with me. We are also known as Bella & Della. I like that. :>)

Happy Father's Day

Ok, so i wasn't feeling as spry as on Mother's Day and it took a few trys for me to get all three words out this time. Three whole videos. Oh, and the good camera's batteries were dead, so you'll have to put up with the clicking. But that doesn't mean i love you fathers any less! I love you all lots!



First, no "Day"...



Then, no "Father's"...



On the last try, no "Happy"...



Oh well.

Grandpa's Motorcyle

I am fascinated by my grandpa's motorcycle. I call it "mocaca". This is the only time grandma could get me to touch it.
She asks me if I want to touch it again and I always say, "no!"
She asks me if I want to sit on it and I always say,"no!"
She asks me if I want to beep the horn and I always say, "no!"
Grandpa tells me that someday I'm gonna want to RIDE! We'll see. ;)

Crib Climbing

Well, Mom had me in a disposable diaper today. And then she put me down for a nap. But i didn't want to nap yet. So i climbed out all nice and quiet-like. Boy did that surprise Mom and Dad when they heard me trying to open my bedroom door!

Happy Mother's Day

Reading Books

I love being read to, especially when it's mommy!

Harmonica

I love to play it!
