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

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?
