Fun with Grandparents!

Hello World!

This week was great!

I got to see my Grandma and Papa twice! On Tuesday, Mommy and Daddy K went to the Mesa Temple so Grandma took Ladybug, Monkey and me to a park and to McDonalds. At McDonalds we also played on the PlayPlace.

Yesterday our family decided to visit Grandma and Papa again to go swimming at their community pool. Then we had Costco pizza for lunch. I ate 2 whole pieces! YUM!

A Visit from T and Baby K

Hello world,

This week mom, monkey, ladybug, and I went to the airport and picked up T (she used to be our nanny) and Baby K who flew from Utah all the way to Arizona. While we were there an airport employee gave us little eraser airplanes, mine is blue, Ladybug’s is orange, Monkey’s is yellow, and Baby K’s is green. After that we went to get T’s luggage at carousal number 6. We thought that we would stay there forever, until someone came by and said that Utah’s luggage was on carousal number 2 and so T went and got her luggage and Baby K’s car seat. Then we went to McDonalds and Monkey, Baby K., and I got Chicken Nuggets. Ladybug got a hamburger. Ladybug and I each got a Zooble in our Happy Meals. Monkey got a Thor toy. After that, we went home and went to bed. 

Tuesday we went to the Villago Park and played. Baby K and I got owies and bruises from the tunnels there (they still hurt). Then on Wednesday we stayed home and relaxed. 

Yesterday Grandma came by to see T and Baby K and then when she left we did some quiet time. Then we had some lunch and went to a park in Gilbert that had swings, a bunch of slides, a water area to play in, tables to eat on, monkey bars, a rock climbing area, driving wheels, and a swingy thing that goes all the way around! 

Today we got up and did our school work. In a little while mom, Monkey and I are going to drop off T and Baby K off at the airport so they can go home. Then I am going to Grandma’s house and she is going to take me to my Daddy P’s apartment. 

It has been a fun week!

Easter and Monkey's 3rd Birthday

Hello world! 

On Saturday, we went to Grandma’s house and had an Easter party for Monkey’s birthday. We went to the Easter Funfair at Grandma’s Clubhouse. Monkey and Ladybug went in a Cars bounce house while I played some games. I got 4 whistles, a coloring page and 5 eggs! Monkey got 2 whistles, a coloring page and a maze. Ladybug got 2 whistles and a coloring page. After we went home, Papa talked about popcorn and so Grandma Great and I went and got popcorn and a bag of purple cotton candy. 

When we got home we ate Hamburgers and Hotdogs outside. Then we sang Happy Birthday! Then after that we ate cake inside, because mommy and I did not like flowers on our food. It was a really windy day! Ladybug had the Green Eyed Monster in her when Monkey opened his presents! Monkey got a little dump truck, lizard pillow, a handsome church outfit and a big giant dump truck. Ladybug kept on saying, “I want that! I want that!” so she had to have a talk about it with Grandma. After the talk, she got a pink heart dress for her birthday, but it was an Easter dress so she got it at Easter time. 

When he was all done opening his presents we all played outside with Grandma Great while Daddy, Mommy, Grandma, and Grandpa filled up the water barrels. Then we went home and played. Then it was Bedtime for Ladybug first, then Monkey, then me! Ladybug went first because of her attitude with the Green Eyed Monster. 

For church on Easter Sunday, we all wore our church outfits. Mommy took pictures of us together in our church outfits. We were happy but Monkey would not stand still! Then we all got in the car and drove to church. We had all sorts of lessons about Easter and Jesus Christ being resurrected on the 3^rd day of Easter, which is Easter Sunday! We were happy, but I had to keep switching seats because there were to many tall people in the front that were too tall. I liked watching the show.

Lemonade Luncheon

Hello World,

On March 26, 2011, we went to a Church activity, a Lemonade Luncheon. We had finger sandwiches, lemonade and dessert. For dessert we had brownies, chocolate and vanilla cupcakes, and small baby cookies. The cookies were soft and yummy. We sat and chatted with friends, watched a skit, and stayed to clean up. I had a good time, even though it was hot and sunny! After we put all the chairs up, we followed mommy up the steps onto the high porch of the person's home and a bee chased my sister (Ladybug) and me! So we ran off of the porch by using their ramp. Then, it was time to pack up our chairs and leave. The End! :)

~My 11th Birthday~

Hello World,

My family and I celebrated my 11th Birthday by going to Golden Corral. My Grandma and  Great-Grandma C. came to celebrate with us. I got 2 shirts, a Target gift card, a cute green dress with black leggings with hearts at the bottom, black dress with Polka-dots on it with a short black coat, a sewing kit, Old Navy gift card and a check for $20 and some cash. My mom and dad bought fabric and grandma made a quilt out of it for me. They also got me a photo collage of my family, a picture of Jesus Christ and a picture of an LDS Temple. With my Old Navy gift card, I bought 4 shirts, pajama pants, yoga pants and 2 pairs of Flip-flops. With my Target gift card I bought a toy slide-phone with gems inside on plastic sheets so you can decorate it and I also got a princess 3-wheel scooter. At Golden Corral, they sang a Birthday song to me and gave me a cupcake (I licked the frosting of it :). I also had a brownie and ice-cream with M&M's. Here are some pictures from my day:

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.
