Praying Mantis

Dad found a Praying Mantis yesterday while mowing grass. I thought he was Awesome. I wanted to keep him. We couldn't get Hermie to hold him. But I wanted to hold him a lot.

I started School

I started school this week. Mom took this picture on my Pre-Preschool day. It was the "Open House Party" for us kids. I loved meeting my teachers. This is my "Hala" pose.

My offical first day of school. I think Mom and Dad were a little sad seeing my name on everything...I am such a big girl! I didn't really want to go at first but when I came home I told Mom how much fun I had. I sang all the songs and showed Mom my papers. It was awesome when my Daddy picked me up!

Happy Father's Day

We started the day by making Daddy breakfast. We did a good job of not making too much of a mess. Mommy doesn't let us make a crazy mess like Papaw does when we make Pancakes.





We went to Papaw J and Granny B's house for dinner. Papaw told me that if I stood real still I could catch a bird...well at least that's what I heard him say :)
I don't know what Sissy was doing, but it looked like fun so I joined her.




I got to eat fruit...all evening. I love my daddy so much!


HEY, where did it all go??? Oh, it's in my tummy, hehehe!

My First Roller Coaster Ride

Yet another New Friend!

What's Easter without the additon of a New family member? This is our new Tortoise, Sally. She is a great tortoise. She likes to be carried around and see people. We have enjoyed the addition to our house.

Easter Fun

We had Easter fun at Nana and Papa's this weekend. We went for a walk, we rode our bikes and Papa and I dyed eggs will Hermie took a nap. When he woke up Uncle Ted and Mom went out and hid the eggs. Hermie and I went out to find them. Everyone stopped me from picking up ALL the eggs. Apparently I had to let Hermie pick some up too...SO not fair. I still had a great time and cried when we left.

We got a Wii

We got a Wii over the weekend and I got to play the boxing. Mom and Dad tried to teach me the bowling, but I still need more practice.

Hermie was trying to help me.

Mad Potter's

We went to the Mad Potter over the weekend. We had so much fun with Mom and Papaw. Hermie was more interested in eating the paint brushes than painting. It will be fun to show him his first peice of painted pottery when he grows up.

Meet Tucker

Mom and Dad surprised us today and too us to pick out a new baby dog. I squealed when I saw all the dogs...then I squealed again when I saw all the baby dogs. I wanted to take them all home. Mom said we could pick one out and I tried to get her to let me bring home two...but she didn't go for it. Hermie and I ran around with the nine puppies for about an hour. We also got to play with the pups mom and dad. They were pretty dogs too. Dad was huge...bigger than Keegan. We decided to name him Tucker since he was born in Ken"tuck"y. Hermie also had a hand in naming him...he is always saying "Tucka Tucka Tucka." We had a lot of fun.

Hermine loved all the dogs!

I had to give Momma some pets too!

There were so many...it was hard to pick.

He found his bed within 30 minutes of coming home.

I think I am going to like out new addition.

COSI

Mom took us to the COSI Museum. It was ssssoooo much fun! We had a great time exploring and playing. I think Mom was just as worn out as we were.

You can't beat playing in water...no matter how cold it is outside.

Bean wants to be a Doctor when she grows up!

I can fix it just like Daddy!

Mom, stop taking pictures, I am trying to play here!

Goodbye Rye!

We had to say goodbye to our friend Rye today. Mom had to take her to the Vet and she came home alone. She was Mom and Dad's first baby girl. We will miss her.

From Sand to Snow!

Well, we were playing in sand 4 days ago, now we are playing in the snow!

We're Back!

Well, we are back from the warm weather and unfortunately we didn't bring any back with us. We returned to cold and snow, but we enjoyed things while they lasted. We played on the beach a lot...I loved it. Hermie took a little while to warm up to the idea, but he liked things eventually. Dad built us things like a Sea Turtle, a Sun & Moon and a huge Castle in the sand. I found a friend to play with, she is from Canada and Mom wants me t start writing her letters.



Dad caught dinner one night...it was out of a tank so I think he had an advantage.

Mom didn't catch dinner...but she sure knows how to catch a BIG fish!

We loved the beach! I think next time we will spend all our time there!

Our big sand Castle


It was so big that Mom and Dad could fit in it.


It's bittersweet to be home. We are glad to be back but had a lot of fun while we were there!
