Water Day...

It get's really, really hot in Arizona. Sometimes we just want to play in the water. Here are some photos of Britton and I playing in our new sprinkler. Don't worry, we wore LOTS of sunscreen! (Thanks Grammie for our new swim suits)

Our house is a home...

Our house is quickly becoming a home. We have unpacked boxes, moved furniture around and hung pictures. As promised, here are a few pictures. Hope you will come visit me in our new home soon!

Birthday, bouncing, bike and bears...oh my

I'm 3 . . . I'm 3! I am very excited to be 3 years old. I had the best birthday ever! (It's my favorite, so far). I was spoiled beyond belief. Mommy and daddy took me to Bounce U (see post below) and to Red Robin for dinner. I got more presents than I know what to do with. I got new toys, cars, play-doh, baby doll, baby stroller and my very own recliner! I am very loved.

Happy birthday to me!


Me and Beary (my new Build A Bear) I was able to name him, pick out his clothes and help put the stuffing in him. He even has a real heartbeat when you hug him tight.


My new big girl bike!


Cupcake cones! (I helped mommy make them!)


Thank you everyone for making me feel so special!

Bounce U

Mommy and daddy took Britton and I to Bounce U for my birthday. Bounce U is an indoor play place with all kinds of inflatable toys like bounce houses and a giant slide. We had so much fun!

The big slide (I went down it about 100 times)

Ready, set...

GO!

Daddy and Britton's turn

Britton playing in the fire truck

Britton's new do...

Britton finally got his hair cut. He was looking pretty shaggy. Now he looks like such a big boy.

Britton's Birthday

Britton turned one! Can you believe it?! We are having more and more fun together as he gets older. Mommy let him eat a cupcake all by himself! He made a mess but it was funny to watch.

Happy Birthday to Britton...

Mmmmm...cupcakes!

Weeeeee...swinging.

Learning to play football.

We have a walker!

Britton is walking! It's so much fun to see him walking. He loves to follow me around. I can't wait until he can run with me. We love to play hide-and-seek. Britton is really good at finding me. See the video below of him walking.

Britton also finally has teeth! I didn't think he was ever going to get them. He has two on the bottom and the top two are coming in too.

Press play

Boxes, boxes & more boxes...

We moved! We were outgrowing our house so we decided to look for a new house. After a long search we found one that's just right. We put all our stuff in lots and lots of boxes, loaded up the truck (a few times) and moved it to the new house. I kept getting confused and asked mommy and daddy when we are taking our stuff back to the old house. But now that we've been staying in the new house for a couple weeks I don't think we are moving back. I love the new house! It has stairs...that's my favorite part. Once we are moved in a little more, I'll take more photos. Hope you will visit us soon.

Christmas is finally here!

Finally, it's Christmas. I've been wainting a long time for this and I had to be a really good girl. Every day in December, I got to open up a door on the calendar and there was a chocolate inside! When all the doors were open...it was Christmas! I wish there was a calendar with chocolate in it for the whole year. Mommy says they only have that for the Christmas countdown. Bummer.

We got to open one present under our tree on Christmas eve.
New Christmas pajamas!


Santa came...Santa came!


Our pretty Christmas tree and lots of presents.
Santa brought me the big one. It's my very own kitchen!

Santa also put stuff in our stockings.


Britton just wanted to eat the wrapping paper and play with the boxes.

I was good at opening presents! Charlie wanted to help too.

Britton and I are very lucky. We have LOTS of people who love us and spoiled us for Christmas. Thank you to everyone who loves us. We love you lots too!!! See you in 2011!

Getting ready for Christmas

There is so much to do to get ready for Christmas.

Picking out a Christmas tree...

Baking cookies...


Meeting Santa and Mrs. Claus...

As you can see, Britton did not like this but I got to tell Santa what I wanted for Christmas...a real live elephant. I told mommy we could keep him in our backyard and feed him dog food. I'm sure Willy and Charlie wouldn't mind sharing.
