Happy 4th Birthday to me

I'm four years old...can you believe it? I had the best birthday EVER. Here was how I spent my birthday...

• Preschool in the late morning...everyone in my class sang to me, then we had yummy chocolate cake pops.
• Mommy and Britton picked me up and we went to McDonalds for lunch. Grammie even surprised me there and after we ate we played.
• Went home and took a little nap, then daddy surprised me and came home early from work.
• Then daddy, mommy and Britton took me to the Build a Bear Workshop and I made a monkey. She has a real heartbeat and I named her Monkey. I love Monkey.
• We went to dinner at Paradise Bakery since mac and cheese is my favorite.
• Then grandma came and had dessert with us at Frost (the yummiest Gelato place in town).

It was a VERY busy day and the best birthday so far. Thanks everyone for making me feel so special.

My shirt says, I am 4.


Britton was excited about my birthday too.

Hiking

Daddy and I went hiking on 'A' Mountain. It's called 'A' Mountain because there is a GIANT letter 'A' on it and because it's close to AZ State University. We parked and rode on the light rail train to get there. We had so much fun.


Excited on the light rail train.

Up, up, up I go


I'm on top of the world.
(It just looks like I'm on the edge...don't worry, I'm not)


Silly time waiting for the train to take us back.

By the way...Happy St. Patrick's Day. I wore green so no one would pinch me.

Weddings = Family picture time...

Time for dress-up. Not for me but mommy and daddy. Their good friend Sarah got married so they dusted off their dress clothes and put them on. Since they were all dressed up, we tried to get a family photo. It kinda worked...

Silly mommy and beautiful Sarah strike a pose...

Only a few weeks to go until my baby sister is born.

New addition...BEFORE the new addition

With baby Tutu Leaf Sally Apple Banana Polka Dot (all names I've picked out for my baby sister) coming soon we had to get a bigger car. So we are now officially a minivan family. Mommy and daddy went to a place that has a lot of cars to choose from and decided on this one. It is really cool. It even has 'magic' doors that open all by themselves. I wanted them to get a blue one since that's my favorite color but they picked out a dark grey one. Oh, well maybe next time.

Happy 2nd Birthday Britton

It seems like just yesterday that mommy and daddy brought home a cute little baby brother for me and now he is two years old. Wow, how time flies. We had a lot of fun for his birthday. We actually celebrated for a couple days.

He woke up on his birthday to a bunch of balloons in his room. He was really surprised. That night we went to dinner at Red Robin. It was really yummy and they gave Britton an ice cream sundae (that I helped him eat).

Then a few days later we had a party for him. I helped mommy make his cake...chocolate of course. It also had yummy gooey carmel inside. He got new toys, cars, clothes, books and his very own blue tricycle. Now he doesn't have to ride my pink tricycle. A big thank you to everyone who spoiled my little brother.

Here are a few pictures of the big two year old.


Big boy Britton...cheeeeese.


Mmmmm, chocolate cake.


New tricycle (thanks Grandma)

BIg Boy Bed

Britton got a new big boy bed. No more crib for him. Mommy said he sleeps better in his big boy bed than he did in his crib. He was very excited to get a new bed. I was excited too. I keep wanting to sleep in his room with him but mommy and daddy said no. For some reason they think we will play instead of sleep.

Baby #3...

My mommy's belly is getting bigger which means it's almost time for my baby sister's arrival. I can't wait to meet her and find out her name. I guess I'm not good at keeping secrets so I don't know what her name is yet.

Mommy had an ultrasound today and the doctor said everything looks great. My baby sister is growing well and all her 'stuff' looks good. They looked at her brain, heart, kidney's, spine and bladder. I'm not sure how they can check all that while she's still in mommy's belly but they did. They even took cool pictures of her.

Isn't technology amazing? Here are some photos...she's so cute.

It snowed in Arizona...

Many people may be surprised to know it snows in Arizona. Well, not where we live but about a two hour drive up north and it's cold and snowy. Since we don't get to play in the snow where we live we decided to take a day trip to the snow. It was VERY cold but we still had a lot of fun.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone. We had the best Christmas ever. It was several days filled with family, food and LOTS of presents. We were spoiled beyond belief (and of course loved every minute of it). I was so excited to see Santa came to my house. I was a really good girl this year and he brought me the blue scooter I wanted. A BIG thank you to everyone who loves us and spoiled us rotten. We are very blessed to have so many people in our lives that love us.

Anyone want to have a tea party?

New cars...from the movie Cars of course.

Phoenix Zoo

We went to the zoo and saw lots of animals. It was really cold that day but we still have a blast. We rode on a train and a carousel. My favorite animal was the monkeys.
