I am 4 Years old!!!

Yesterday I turned 4 years old!! I brought cookies to my class to celebrate! They sang me Happy Birthday and I wore a crown and got lots of cards. Mommy and Daddy took me to Red Robin for dinner. Then we went home and had cake and opened more presents! I am so excited to be 4 years old. I am soooooo big now. I keep telling everyone that I will be 5 next time!!

Mommy and Daddy got me my very own camera! I really did like it even though this picture doesn't really show it.

My mini cake that Mommy and Daddy got me. Mommy couldn't find my 4 year old candle so we used me 3 and 1. 3 + 1 = 4 so that works!!

My new Barbie car that Grandma Kathy and Papa Maury got me!

Chuck E. Cheese Birthday Party!!

This past weekend was my 4 year old Birthday Party!! It was held at Chuck E. Cheese on Sunday, October 24th at 4PM! It was sooooo much fun! I had 17 of my friends there. I made cards to give to Chuck E. I told Daddy that Chuck E is always giving out tokens and tickets to kids and he doesn’t ever get anything, so I made him special cards. Usually I don’t get within 5 feet of chuck E, but on my Birthday I was really brave and went and hugged Chuck E, gave him high fives and danced with him. I had a Disney Cars (Lightning McQueen) cake and I got lots of really cool presents too!! I am such a lucky girl!!

SISTER!!

I found out this week that I am going to have a little sister. I already knew that though. Mommy and Daddy took me to the Dr. so we could find out if we were having a boy or a girl, but I don't know why. I already told them I was getting a sister. They never listen!

My First Camping Trip!

This past weekend I went on my first camping trip! I went with Mommy, Daddy, Uncle Eric, Aunt Amy and Uncle Max. All the dogs came too….Koda, Midge and Maisy! We went up to the east side of Flagstaff, AZ to a spot that Uncle Eric had found a couple years ago. I guess a fire had come through since then so there were a lot of burnt areas. It was still really pretty where we camped though. The dirt was extra dirty with old soot from the fire. I got to get really dirty on this trip!! On my camping trip I had fun searching for pine cones with Aunt Amy, watching Daddy and Uncle Eric chop wood, playing horseshoes, hitting golf balls (that’s right…Daddy brought some clubs and balls to hit into the forest!), helping build the fire, eating marshmallows and sleeping in my new pink and purple sleeping bag. It was so much fun! I can’t wait to go camping again!

First day of Preschool

Monday was my first day in my Preschool room. I was so excited to go that when I got up that morning I was sitting in my jammies and asked Daddy, “can I go to school now?”. It was only 6am so Mommy said we had to finish getting ready before we could leave. I put on a pretty dress and even let Mommy do my hair. My new classroom is lots bigger than my other room. I am such a big girl now. Next year I will go to Pre-K and then Kindergarten. I am soooooooo big!

Missouri Vacation – Part 1 – Springfield

Mommy and Daddy decided to take me to Missouri this year to see my Great Grandparents. We left on August 6th. We got to go to a little airport (Alligant Air) that flies into Springfield. That was fun except that Mommy and Daddy forgot my earphones for the DVD player so I had to use their ear buds. I didn’t like them as much. I did really good on the flight though. It was hot in Missouri. I guess a heat wave was going through. I didn’t mind so much, but I think Mommy was hot. While we were visiting Great Grandma and Grandpa Schroff, Daddy and I walked over to Starbucks every morning and I went to the country club and went swimming a lot. It was so much fun! I also went over to Uncle Steve and Rachel’s house to go swimming. Then all of us went to the fair on Sunday. I won lots of fair prizes and went on lots of rides. I also saw pigs and cows!


Then on Monday we went to Silver Dollar City. I got to go on lots of water rides. That cooled me off a lot. They even had sprinklers positioned around the park so everyone could cool off. Rachel had to take me on lots of rides because Mommy wasn’t allowed to go and Daddy was too tall to sit with me. He got kicked off several times for not fitting….hee hee! I had lots of fun riding rides with Rachel!! Mommy started feeling the baby kick that day too. She said the baby was telling her that its Jacuzzi was already warm enough and to get in the AC. I really enjoyed seeing my family! Great Grandma and Great Grandpa are coming out for Christmas so that will be exciting to see them again!

On a ride at Silver Dollar City!
