Halloween 2011

Hello World,

On Halloween we went to Chick-Fil-A and had free kid's meals. We also had our pictures taken by a person who works there she accidentally got two pictures copied of Monkey dressed up in his Batman pajamas. I was a purple princess fairy and Ladybug was a pink princess fairy. After that we went Trunk-or-Treating. We had a lot of fun and got a lot of candy. It was hard to Trunk-or-Treat because the lights at the school did not come on.

Hope you had a Happy Halloween.

Tissue Box Train ~ A Project

Hello World,

On Wednesday, I made a tissue box Choo Choo Train with my sister. If you want to make one, you will need:

*2 small tissue boxes
*1 big one
*1 small paper plate
*a piece of cardstock paper
*markers
*foil
*tape

Cut off the edges of the big tissue box, make a door, then cut one small tissue box in half and tape it onto the big one, then cut of one side of the other small tissue box and tape that onto the big box. Then cut a rectangle shape out of the cardstock and tape foil on it for a whistle. Cut the paper plate in half and then cut the semi-circles out. Color the plate edges and then tape them onto the train as shown below.

If you want a person you will need:

*4 little rectangles
*a square
*cardstock circle

The square is the body. Tape 2 little rectangles to the square to be legs and 2 to be arms. Use the cardstock circle as the head.

Visiting Daddy P.

 Hello World,

In July, I spent a week with my Daddy P. We let out the Guinea Pigs!
We played with them while Dad cleaned out the cage. After we put the Guinea Pigs back in there cage, we had Dinner. Then we played a little and then went to bed. I got to sleep on the couch and watch shows until I was asleep. Once every-one was awake, we went to CVS because I had a really bad ear-ache. After that, we went back home and had Domino's pizza for lunch. I took a little nap, because of my ear-ache. Crab was trying to play with me, so he put toys in my hands and pretended I was playing with him. Then Dad woke me up cause it was dinner time. After we ate it was bed-time. Good-Night!

Camping

Dear World,

I had lots of fun camping! We canoed, fished, kayaked, and walked. Monkey liked to take walks all the time! He said: "I take walk, I take walk!" Every day, every time. While fishing I kept catching Crawdad's, but they kept on falling back in the water. I also lost my hook in the water! I got to paddle in the canoe and kayak. 

The day after we got home from camping I went to my Dad's and S (my former step-mom) came down to pick up Crab and I. We went to the Grand Canyon and Crab almost fell off the edge! He was 4 inches from the edge. S yelled: "CRAB!" and after that, we were done and went on the shuttle bus. We went on 9 of them while we were there. I have never been on shuttle buses before! I was really happy! 

We also met 3 squirrels! One was digging, another was eating a cactus fruit, and the last one was doing nothing. We also got a  Junior Ranger badge and promised to take care of the National Parks. Crab kept on saying: "I am Ranger Junior of Earth whole." We blew bubbles and they went down the Canyon! We got a Junior Ranger activity book and we had to do 4 activities out of it. But we did the whole book instead. Crab used it as a coloring book, but hee still got his badge. We watched 2 movies of the Grand Canyon. We also went to Wendy's and got Smart Links. It was fun! I got a Flamingo, he got a plane, but we switched them, so I have a Flamingo plane and he has a Plane flamingo. We had FUN! 

When I came home, I watched a show and went to bed. In the morning, I was not feeling so well, Monkey gave me his cold, and I still do not feel well.

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.
