Christmas and Christmas Eve

Hello World, 

On Christmas Eve, we decorated cookies, read "The Birth of Jesus Christ" in Luke chapter 2, got pajamas from Grandma Great and had a sleepover with cousin E. On Christmas day we opened presents. I got: a Pillow Pet Unicorn, travel word search game, "Learn to paint" book, clothes, socks, movies, books, Twister, Twister Hop-scotch and a Tinker-Bell PEZ dispenser. After we did all that, my Daddy P. came to pick me up, so I could do Christmas with Crab, Sara, Grandma H., Grandpa H., Uncle J., Aunt Bonny, Uncle Rick and Daddy P.! I got: Footie Jamies, Fairy necklace, Guess Who? Extra!, a sparkly white dress with flower hair clips, and a color and wipe off Princess puzzle.

It was a great Christmas!

Learning to Sew and some other stuff...

Dear World,

In November, I spent some time at my grandma’s house. She is teaching me how to sew. First, we went and picked out fabric from Joann’s. Then, we checked out and went in the car and drove home. It seemed fast to me to Joann’s and back, because I was playing on grandma’s Nintendo DS and playing with my purple toy phone to entertain myself. When we got to grandma’s we cut out the shape that was in the fabric and went in the guest room and ironed and pinned the fabric. Then after that, we read the directions, and then grandma taught me how to turn on the sewing machine, put the needle up and down, push the peddle, medium, slow, speedy gonzales, fast, super fast and super slow, how to change the sewing style, how to change the backwards speed, how to go backwards and how to put the string in the right places. She also taught me how to take the little sewing box out of its little spot, how to hand sew, how to cut fabric with fabric scissors and how to turn things inside out and right side out. Then after that, we got dressed, got in the car, went to McDonalds and got some food, I got a Happy Meal, the toy I got was, Mega Mind, a robot machine, when you press a button on the back, he shoots up in the air. Then after that, we went to see "How The Grinch Stole Christmas", a play. Then after that, my mom took me to my daddy P’s house.  

Crab's Birthday

Hello world,

Last Saturday, I went to my Daddy P's house and we had a party at a park for my brother Crab. His friends and their parents were there. We did Little Einsteins for his theme. The plastic table cloths were Little Einstein's inside Rocket. Then the Birthday banner was the Little Einstein's saying, "5,4,3,2,1, Happy Birthday!" The balloons were decoration, until they all popped or got loose from the batch, up into the sky. The goodies that we got inside a bag were: a flute, rock star guitar bubbles, sparkle bouncy ball, stickers, smile drum and a kaleidoscope. We had a piece of Rocket cake, there were figurines around rocket the figurine names were, Leo, Quincy, June and Annie. After all that, we all went home. After Crab took a nap, S, Crab and I went to a Fall Festival at Crab's school and got play-dough, a fake leaf and a bunch of candy from his teacher, it was way to big of a handful for Crab! Then Daddy P came and took Crab and I into the car and drove to Casa Grande and dropped me off. It was a fun weekend.

The Rainy Spider Day

Hello World, 

Last Friday was a rainy day. We went out side with flip-flops on and our umbrellas in our hands. We had a great time playing in the rain. Ladybug and Monkey shared Ladybug's umbrella and I was used my umbrella.  Monkey found a decorative shepherd's hook and he carried it around the yard and we called him Mr. Bo Peep.

Later that day mommy was surprised by a big black ugly spider hanging on our window screen. Daddy sprayed the spider from inside the house first, then he went outside and sprayed it some more. It took a long time for the spider to die. After it died, Ladybug and I got to look at it. I thought it looked shiny and creepy! What do you think?

My Indian Name

If I were an Indian my name would be Little Red Reading Girl. This would be my name because I have red hair, I am short and I am good at reading. I am good at reading because, I read like I am talking, I use different voices, I read smoothly and because I practice and read a lot. Don’t you think that is a good Indian name for me? 

What would your Indian name be and why?

Blog Makeover!

Check out my new blog! Isn't it cool. It is an early Christmas present from my mom!

Thank you mommy and Designs by Kassie!  I LOVE IT!

Family trip to Casa Grande Ruins

Hello World,

Today my family and I went on a Field Trip to Casa Grande Ruins. We looked at houses made of clay built by people who lived in this area about 800 years ago. We went through a little museum and looked at stuff they used a long time ago. Someone at the front desk was playing a wooden flute and they piped the music through speakers. We went outside and saw the main community house (the Casa Grande), some other smaller houses and the field where they played games and sports. 

Here are some pictures:

I had a good time and learned a lot!

My trip to Snowflake

Hello World,

This summer I went to my daddy P's and went to Snowflake, Arizona. At Snowflake I played on the trampoline and with Felt people and a lot of felt world stuff. I played with Lego mix and match people.

I also slept in a tent with 2 cousins and Uncle J. At night in the tent, A got scared of a hissing sound, but it was  air leaking out of the air bed, so he slept with the flash light. I slept in a sleeping bag, B slept on a cot in a sleeping bag, and Uncle J slept on a chair in a sleeping bag with his MP3 player in his hands and his headphones in his ears.

We went to an arts and crafts fair and I got a bracelet that has white beads that turn purple in the sunlight. I rode on a water barrel train and it was fun. Grandma H took me to the bouncy house area and let me bounce on the purple one, that was fun too. I played with cars and a monkey puppet and some pop and build blocks. We watched some movies, watched a parade and caught the candy that they threw out of their parade floats. Uncle J chased after a Root Beer Float parade truck but did not get one and then stuffed his pockets with candy. After the parade was over we went back to the house and had cupcakes and cake. Lil' J (only 2) licked a piece of the cake when no one was looking. I had a cupcake with purple sprinkles.

During the whole trip we had, cheese popcorn, cheese pringles, colored goldfish and a lot of snacks that I can not remember. Uncle J and I played on the D.S. and Gameboy on the way back to our places. At grandma's house, I jumped on the trampoline in the rain and got wet. I had ravioli and macaroni and cheese when I went inside after I dried off. I also went to someone's house and played there for a little bit, then we went to a park, and played there. When went back to grandma's house, we had chicken, tomatoes, onions, cheese, tortillas, and canned pears on the side.

I had a fun spending time with my dad and going to Snowflake.

Pickle Project

Hello World,

Yesterday, we had a pickle experiment. We tried 6 different types of pickles: Zesty Dills, Kosher Dills, Tiny Sweet Midgets, Sweet Gherkins, Bread & Butter Chips and Sweet Relish. I did not like any of the pickles. Ladybug liked the Tiny Sweet Midgets and the Sweet Relish, but not any of the other pickles. Monkey did not like any of the pickles. Daddy and Mommy liked all of the pickles. We made a chart of who liked what pickles.

Here are some pictures of our pickle tasting:

Me saying, "I do not like it."

Ladybug is not sure what she thinks of these.

 Monkey saying, "NO, Put it back!"

Swimming and "The Karate Kid"

Hello World,

Yesterday, My family and I went swimming with the Brinton's (except mommy didn't swim...she took pictures). I liked it when S, E and I went in Mikayla's room and my room and played with the Polly Pockets. Then, Brother Brinton ordered pizza for all of us. Then Brother Brinton went to get their van.  Then, the Brinton's took daddy and me to a movie called, "The Karate Kid".  We had popcorn and sprite, I had water. I sat in between S and E. We had little tray things to hold our drink, ticket, popcorn, and napkin. Then, when the movie was over, we all came home and said goodbye. Then we had dinner and went to bed.

Here are some pictures from our time swimming:

E and me jumping in at the same time.

Having Fun with Friends!!!

Hello World,

A week ago, we went to the lake with the Brinton's and went on their boat to go for a ride and look around the lake. Then, we went to shore and dropped off Sister Brinton, Mom, and David off. Then, Ladybug, Brother Brinton, Daddy, M, and I tied on the Water tube. Then, Ladybug and I went into the thing, then, off we went, WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I liked riding over the waves. Ladybug, liked it fast! Then, Daddy went in the tube, and got knocked over. Next, Ladybug and Daddy went in the tube and Ladybug almost fell in the lake! Next, it was S and E talking and splashing in the tube. Finally, I took a turn with E and then with S. Then we went back to shore and had lunch and played on the beach for a while. After lunch, everyone climbed into the boat and went sightseeing and swimming. That is when Daddy and Brother Brinton jumped off a cliff! CRAZY!!!

Here are some pictures:

Ladybug and me in the tube. Weee!

My Day

Hello World,

Today I have been in my room watching i-Carly and not watching baby shows with Ladybug and Monkey.

We are getting ready to eat Dinner. It is plain pasta with cheese and butter. It is very yummy and greasy.

We went to the park today and found a super super bouncy ball and played with it. We took our bug kit stuff to the park but forgot to grab it when we left, so after I ate my Icce I went and saved them:) YAY! That was my day!
