August 2012

Mommy worked on uncle Clancy's wedding cake for most of the day for the big wedding tomorrow! We also went out to grammy's for a while. When we were there, I told Parker that someday when he has a girlfriend to be nice to her.

 

 

 

It's the big day for uncle Clancy! Mommy fixed my hair for the wedding and begged me not to mess it up. She put enough hair junk in it though that I don't think I could have messed it up if I tried. Everything went really well and mommy was so happy that the cake turned out great! I had so much fun wearing my dress and playing with Randi's niece. Randi looked like a beautiful princess!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While mom was cleaning up wedding stuff, I was telling her that she could reuse something for her wedding and Karlie's wedding. She told me that she wasn't getting married. Then I said, "You don't want to be an old maid do you?" and added as an afterthought "or a nun?"  This is what mommy gets for watching the Sound of Music with me and playing the card game Old Maid.

 

This morning, mommy told me that her stomach didn't feel well and I suggested that, "Maybe it's angry at you."We drove up to McCall to spend some time with Travis and Candice. When we got there, the kids and I played in the pool!

 

I got to play in the pool more with the kids before we went home today! On our way home I said to mom that something I did was an accident, but then admitted, "Well, I did it on purpose, but I'm sorry." Mommy's been trying to teach me to accept responsibility for my own actions, so I think this is a step in the right direction :).

On my way to meet up with daddy to spend the week with him, I told mom that when she gets not fat again to not eat cookies, cake, or chips. You know, just avoid the tree basic food groups, lol. We stopped and swapped vehicles with uncle Clancy on our way there since he borrowed mommy's car for his honeymoon.  

 

When we were at the library the other day, I checked out a kids craft book. So today, I did some crafts with mommy from it! It was good times! On our way to grammy's today, I said, "Grammy and grandpa are always up first. James and Karlie are lazy bones." I'm very observant ;). While we were there, I said to Parker, "likely story". Hmmm...where have I heard that one before?

 

When I was at grammy and grandpa's, grandpa was eating dinner. I said to him, "Grandpa if you'd like I could sit on your lap and eat ice cream." I wanted to have a sleepover there and when I was going to bed, I said to grandpa, "You can watch me fall asleep." It sounded like a fun thing to me, somehow no one else saw it that way. Oh well.

 

I told mommy that, "You're beautifuller than a jewel" and that I, "love you more than anything in the whole solar system". That is a lot of love!

 

We made my favorite chocolate chip cookies today! I cannot get enough of them!  

 

Mom took me to see Paranorman and though I'm the one that wanted to see it, I didn't really care for it. I thought it was a little too scary. After that we went swimming and while we were there, mom's phone, IPod, and camera got stolen. It ruined my whole day. On our way home I was trying to come up with reason why someone would do something like that. Oh to be young and innocent.

 

I went to kindergarten orientation today! I'm so excited to go back to school! I love to learn and to play with my friends, so I'm killing two birds with one stone (whatever that means). Mommy took me to the store so spend some of my money. While we were at the store, mom accidentally broke a mirror. I was very worried about it. When mom took it up to the check out and offered to pay for it, they said that they would just right it off. On our way out the door, I said, "Shoo they spared us".

I had my first day of kindergarten! Mom can't believe how fast I've grown up, and claims that last five years just disappeared. I called daddy to tell him how my first day of school was, and said that it was "so awesome!"

July 2012

 I got to spend the fourth of July with Daddy and I had so much fun playing with sparklers!

While mom was working out, I laid on her and said, "I could do this all day". Mommy agreed, it was so cozy.  

Mom took me to the aquarium in Boise. Then we painted pottery and painted something special for grammy that I just know she'll love. After that, we spent the rest of the day at Wahooz.

We took flowers to aunt Reeree for her birthday today.  Later in the day, everyone came over to celebrate her birthday with dinner and cheesecake. Later we went to the cemetery and released balloons like we do every year.  

We spent the day at Roaring Springs today and we had all kinds of fun! Last year when we went and all day today mom tried to get me to go on the big slides with her. I very stubbornly refused.  When mom finally talked me into it, I loved it so much that that's all I wanted to do the rest of the day.

Grammy went with us to the new Ice Age movie. I really liked it, especially while eating Milk Duds!   

When mom got out of the shower, I had a mess on the floor. Milo's hot dog toy was by the washing machine, the spool of string was by the dog's water. The string went into the kitchen and over a box and had a ring at the end of it. She cleaned it up and I got after her for it. I said that it was a trap that I set up for her. She asked me how the trap was supposed to work.  I said that she was supposed to trip over Milo's toy, follow the string to the box and slip on it, and then see the ring at the end and be distracted by it so that she wouldn't see that my food wasn't gone yet. Tonight after mommy put me to bed, I kept getting out of bed. When she told me to go get back in bed, I said, "I've been trying for 5 hours to get you to snuggle with me. Don't you want to snuggle?" Of course mommy wanted to snuggle with me, I just had to help her understand what I needed.  

My swimming lesson started today!  On my way to lessons, I used the word "Elegant", mom was very impressed by my vocabulary. Later in the day, we played some cards games.  After I won, I said, "You have done good mom" and then pinched her cheek.

A movie I was watching today got disrupted and when mommy put it back in the spot it was, I didn't think she had it in the right spot. I said, "I'll watch it correctly on another day." Then when she was going up the stairs, I said, "I simply love you mom."

I've made some very big improvements at my swimming lessons this week. I jumped off the diving board all by myself! I'm also putting my whole head under the water, which really freaked me out before and I wouldn't do it. We went out for MDFF and I dripped ice cream on my shirt.  When mom pointed it out, I noticed it was also in my hair and said, "You got to be kidding me." When we got home, we played cards, hide and seek and watched The Music Man together. I liked the movie so much that I asked if I could have it. While we were watching the movie, Milo got in my spot. I got after him for it, put my fists up and said, "Fight me if you dare."

Today mom made me a "good deed jar". Every time I do something good, I get to put a bean in my jar. Every time I do something I shouldn't, I lose a bean. When I get's to a certain amount of beans, I get rewards. I'm very excited about it! We'll see how it goes.

Before church, we were playing go fish. Mom asked me for a card and I said to the card, "You're going to another woman that loves you" and handed her the card.  On another day while we were playing cards, I said, "Maybe I'll have better luck next time I go fish."

After my swimming lessons, mom left the rest of the day up to me. We played cards, sat in the swing and read books, made chocolate chip cookies, and went to grammy's for the rest of the day.

I'm still loving my good deed jar and said this morning, "Do something mean and lose a bean." When faced with losing a bean, I requested a spanking instead. No luck though, it still cost me a bean.

After my swimming lessons, I got to watch Park's swimming lessons! After that mommy and I played cards, went to the library, and drew pictures together. Grammy stopped by to bring mommy a flower. While she was here, she asked me if I give mom a hug and a kiss everyday for being such a good mom and I said, "I don't get a bean for that."

I went to my last swimming lesson and for doing so well, I got a brownie blizzard and to go to the park. Later when we were home, I straightened out a paperclip and wanted to poke mom with it. She told me that I couldn't and then I said, "Can't I poke you gently?" Right after that, I heard mom joking that she was a loser and I said, "Where ever you go, I think you're a winner."

While mom was putting me to bed, she told me that I don't get a good deed bean for putting my pajamas on because she had to ask her too many times. Then I asked her where the nice girl inside of her was and said that I only want the nice girl inside her. She told me that the nice girl inside her asked me three times nicely to put my pajamas on and now the stern girl is out.

June 2012

I exercised with mommy today because, "We don't want to get chubby like Theodore and Eleanor." (from Alvin and the Chipmunks)

I made a list of things I wanted to do today and we had a lot of fun checking it off. We took a walk, played games, cut out shapes, painted, went to the park, and watched a movie. It was great fun!

I had such a fun day today. Mommy took me to the library, and then to the new Madagascar movie. I got signed up for swimming lessons and had a picnic at the park. Then we went to the circus with the rest of the family!

When mom asked this morning if I was done with my breakfast, I said, "I only have this much left and I can eat it before your very eyes."

When mom was dropped me off with daddy today, I asked him what we were going to do for Father's Day.  He said that he didn't know and I said, "Oh, I thought you were just going to watch sports all day." Mommy doesn't know where I come up with these things.

Today, I said to Milo, "Milo, stop, I'm trying to concentrate".

While deciding between chocolate milk and regular milk at breakfast today, I decided to go with regular milk because, "It probably has less calories".

Mom was getting me in the shower and I said, "Feast your eyes on this cute little bum bum." Later when she asked me where I got that from, I said from a preview of a movie coming out this weekend. Later in the day, I had a ballet performance for the fiddle festival. Mom said that I did a very good job!

On our way to grammy's today, I told mom that she was cuter than a bird. Then I said, "You and Parker are cuter than anything in the world".

After mom took me out for MDFF, we grammy for lunch and then went to Brave.

I got to go to the Fiddle Festival parade and carvival today! I made mommy go on the Gravatron with me over and over again, what  good sport.  

The moment I've been waiting for all year has finally arrived. I got to go the front of Primary and talk in the microphone at church today! I gave the scripture. After we got home, we left for our vacation in Salem Oregon. On our way there, I said, "This is fun driving in the middle of nowhere".

During our week long vacation we had an absolute blast! We went on a carousel ride, to the discovery museum for kids, and an indoor water park!

The next day, an event the library was having for kids, mini golfing, and played some arcade games!

My favorite day of the whole week, we spent at the Enchanted Forest theme park here, we both had a lot of fun. We got some ice cream while we were there. I offered mom some of mine and she said no thank you. Then I said, "Suite yourself, when you want some there won't be any". Then she tasted mine and said that is wasn't delectable.

The next day, while we were playing in the pool at our hotel, I was pretending that I didn't have a mom and that mommy was going to be my mom. I told her that she had to "earn the title" of my mom. According to me the way to do that is to feed me, clean me, dress me, fix my hair, take me fun places, etc... After we got ready for the day we went to some of the historical houses that are museums. After the second one, I requested that we not go to anymore houses. Some old houses were not nearly as entertaining as everything else we've done this week. Mom gave me the rest of the day to do whatever I wanted. I asked her to give me some options and when she did she said, "How about if I give you some options?" I said that I wanted to go to the movies and said that I wouldn't mind watching "Move It Move It III" again (aka Madagascar III). So that's what we did.

On our way home today, we stopped at a waterfall.  On our way back to the car, I fell and got my first real injury.  Mommy doesn't have a clue how I made it five years without anything more than minor scrapes and bruises.  I complained for hours on the way home about how much the cut on my knee hurt.  This injury business is not as cool as they make it look in the movies. When mommy and I got home from our vacation, we found out that Clancy and Randi got engaged this week and are getting married in August! The whole family really likes Randi, I'm excited for her to be my aunt!
