June 2011

I went to my very first swimming lesson, it was so much fun! I had lessons for two weeks and got to go off the diving board! One day after my lessons, we had a picnic at the park by the pool. After my last lesson, I got a report card and it passed to the next level. I was most excited that I got a sucker.

When mom was getting dressed, I wanted to pick out her shirt and said that it would be spectacular if I picked out what she wore, lol. I have a very good fashion sense, I may just grow up to be a fashion consultant.

Mommy took me to the circus and out for ice cream after wards. I loved the dancing girls, they were so sparkly!

Grandpa and uncle Clancy took me fishing for free fishing day. Clancy helped me catch a really big fish, but I absolutely refused to touch it. I picked a lure that I thought the fish would think was funny, lol.

When I did my web cam visit with daddy, I said, "I'm done discussing this". Later at grammy's, I called James's dog Rider a knuckle head. The other day when I blessed the food, I said, "Jesus, you know what to do..."

Lately when I don't like or want something, I'll say that it's makes me scratchy. That seems to me like a pretty legitimate excuse.

When mom was getting me a bedtime story to read me, I said, "Pick out an exciting one that's cool."


Mom was worried that I was going to spill my juice, so I reassured her that I had it handled by telling her, "Don't worry, I'm the boss of the juice". I later also said, "holy crap".

Today, when I was cleaning up in the basement, I said, "Mommy will you help me pick up all this crap." I also said that when I had the electric blanket on me that I thought it was going to cook me like a hot dog and that I was going to turn into a hot dog.

I figured I could, but I thought it best to ask, so I asked mom if I could have Sandy when she dies. She of course said yes :). When I was eating my lunch, I dipped my raisins in my yogurt and my ranch dressing, mmmmm.

This morning when mom was getting me ready, I said, "Watch and learn." Mom took me to the parade and fiddle festival carnival. I went on all the rides that I could except for the yoyo, I refused to go on that one. While we were eating our lunch, we watched the cloggers and now I think my black dress shoes are tap dancing shoes. We were up at the front and I was standing up dancing and trying to do what they were doing :). Mom stopped by the henna tattoo (temporary tattoos that only last a few days) booth, but I told her not to get one. When she asked me why, I said, "Because you're cute just the way you are."

May 2011

When I got back from spending the week with daddy, I got to go meet Parker. I wanted to take one my toys for him to play with. Even though I wanted him to be a girl, he so cute, I think I can forgive him for being born a boy.

This morning before mom left for work and we were waiting for grammy to come pick me up. I said that I hope grammy brings Parker with her. Later on our out the door to go to the store, it was windy and I said, "It's blustery out here mom." Then when mom was getting me ready for bed, I said the word "stupid". Mom reminded me that we don't use that word and I said, "I think I was just a little carried away."

It was Mother's Day today, we went over to grammy and grandpa's and had a really nice time :).

Mommy put in her two week notice and work today. So now she gets to stay home with me again, I'm so excited!!!!

We had a lot more fun going out for MDFD, the library, the park, celebrating uncle James's birthday, watched movies in mommy's bed (my most favorite place), waling the dogs, and making my favorite chocolate chip cookies. Those are some of my favorite things to do.

Mommy took me to the Apple Blossom Festival today and it was so much fun, we had a blast! I went on all the rides that I was tall enough to go on and didn't get scared at all. I also got to play some of the games with my tokens. When mommy asked me what I wanted to eat, I said that I smelled doughnuts and that's what I wanted. She told me that they didn't have any, but I insisted, so she got me a funnel cake.

When I was in the bathtub, I told mom that I needed privacy and then closed the shower curtain.

When I was talking to daddy, I said to him, "That Terrellee is always up to something".

Today I said, "I have no focus". I don't think that truer words were ever spoken by me, lol. I also said that I had an awesome dream last night about Mini Mouse and kept saying that I had a good dream with Millie in it from one of the shows I watch.

Mommy signed me up for swimming lessons. When she told me that she signed me up, I was very excited and said that I already know how to splash :).

I cleaned up my mess in the basement all by myself. Mommy was so proud of me that she took me to the store and let me get some chocolate covered doughnuts at my request. We went and visited Reeree and while we were there I said that I liked aunt Reeree because she's a girl and girls are more fun. Later on, we went to the park. When we left some older girls said good bye to me and called me by name. They thought I was pretty cute, I talked to them quite a bit while I was there. We ran into grammy and grandpa at the park, they were there playing kick ball for activities days and they let me play too. I came out of mom's room with one of her scarves tied around my neck and a stick and said that I was a magician. Then I started saying magic words like abracadabra and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Mommy took me to my end of school year picnic and had her last day of work! Later on, I said the blessing on the food and before I started said, "Fold your arms and zip your lip."

Mommy took me to see the movie Rio with the Fandango buck I gave her for Mother's Day. It had some really great music in it with a good beat. I kept getting up in the isle and dancing and asking mommy to dance with me. After it was over I stayed through all the credits and danced in the front of the theatre.

April 2011

Mom and I stopped at the grocery store, while we were there, I said, "Cheer up, it will be ok". On our way home, because mom wouldn't let me have my way, I said, "You're fired".

I've been having a pretty fun time doing all kinds of fun things like taking the dogs for a walk, going to the swimming pool, playing at the park, having picnics with mommy, helping uncle Clancy celebrate his birthday, and enjoying MDFD. I got really sick though, when mommy gave me some medicine, I said, "That's horrible!" When mommy took me to the doctor they said I have an ear infection and pneumonia, so I had to get a shot and an x-ray. When the nurse was finished giving me the shot, I said to her, "You hurt me!"

I had a really fun day today. Mommy took me to see Hop and I got to take two of the neighbor girls with me!

Tonight when mommy was putting me to bed, she asked me if I understood what she said to me and I said, "Roger".

I got to go swimming today, and when I was getting ready for bed, I was telling mom about how I picked up the rings in the pool with my feet so that I didn't have to go under the water to get them and get water in my eyes. I had my hand on my hip and a superior tone in my voice and said that I was brilliant. The silly kids, going under the water to retrieve the rings, I like to think that I did it the smart way.

I was watching American Idol with mommy and when a rock singer was singing, I said, "Hit it, let's rock and roll!" Then when we were having dinner, I said to turn on something with a "rocking beat".

We decorated Easter eggs today, it was so much fun, I got to put glitter all over them!

When I saw my Eater basket this morning, I was really excited and wanted mom to come and see. I had an Easter egg hunt at grammy and grandpa's, it was so much fun! Grandpa was recording the hunt and I would pose after putting each egg in my basket. After I was done I loved watching the video of it. Later on, we took some dinner over to Clancy and then went to visit James and Karlie in the hospital. I was so excited that uncle Clancy was going with us to the hospital and insisted on him sitting by me on the way there. When we got there I was very disappointed that Parker hadn't been born yet because I really wanted to see him. When mom was putting me to bed, I said that the best part of my day was the surprise in my Easter Basket, hunting eggs, riding in grandpa's truck, and watched the movie of myself hunting the eggs :).

I went to spend the week with daddy. On the day that I left, baby Parker was born at 7:41 pm. He is 6 pounds 15 ounces, 19 inches long, and the most hansom baby boy in the whole hospital according to uncle James:).

March 2011

I'm taking some more phrases for a test drive, today's phrases were, "A little tiny smidgen more", "Perhaps", and "My bad".

It was grammy's birthday today, so mommy cooked everyone dinner. Then we had presents and cake!

After Mommy got off work, we baked cookies and watched a movie together!

When we were pulling in the driveway at grammy's house, I said, "I can't believe my peepers."

I'm always trying to be helpful. Today I tried to help mom pick out what shoes to wear. After she rejected all of my suggestions I finally just said, "Fine, do it yourself then."

Mommy watched baby Fallynn for a little while today, I had so much fun helping with her.

I've come up with a new prayer strategy to help everyone finish their food. O bless that everyone will get candy after they eat and that they will stay in their seats. Sometimes I even go on about the candy and say that grandpa has a lot of it, etc...

On mom's way out the door to work, I told her not to get into any trouble at work so that she wouldn't have to go into time out. Then I told her not to let him (whoever that is) get into any trouble either so he doesn't have to go into time out. lol

Me and mommy spent the whole day together, it was so much fun. We had MDFD and went to the library. I was making myself a bracelet and mommy was talking to me. I just let her know that she was annoying me. Grandma and grandpa laughed so hard they almost lost control.

Mommy took me to the library, to visited Reeree, and then we watched a movie together. It was a really nice day :).

Mommy found a new home for Maggie while I was visiting daddy. I've been telling mommy how much I miss her soft hears. Today, I said that I miss Maggie's soft chunky legs. Then said that I miss Maggie's whole body.

Mommy let me help get the food ready for the baby shower we are having for Karlie. I also got to help decorate! I helped by answering the door and letting people in. When I let the second arrival in, I motioned toward the couch and said, "My mom says to make yourself comfortable." When Karlie opened a gift that was a blanket, I said, "That's to snuggle him up with." When the topic of conversations turned to stretch marks, as will happen at a baby shower, I said, "My mommy has stretch marks" and tried to pull up her shirt to show everyone, lol.

Clancy came home for spring break, on our way home, I said, "The best part of the day was uncle Clancy." Lately I have been saying that everything is my lucky whatever, lucky clip, lucky shoes, lucky purse, etc...

I got to go spend the week with daddy and celebrate his 33rd birthday with him!

February 2011

For no particular reason, I announced to mommy, "This is the worst day ever."

I've hear mommy say it so many times, that I thought I would take it for a test run and see how it works out for me. So I used, "this instant" in a sentence. I at least received a good laugh out of it.

Mommy and I watched a movie together in the evening and I got to pick it out!

We went to Bailey Leonard's baby blessing today, babies are so sweet. I keep asking mommy when she's going to have another little baby. She explained to me that she would have to be married to have a little baby. So I asked Karlie why her and uncle James aren't married, they are having a little baby after all. Apparently she gets that question from adults a lot, but not from kids

For fhe mommy made me cookies! Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite!

While I was watching a show, I said, "I can't bear to watch." Later in the day mommy took me into have my last round of shots until I'm 12. When I got the shots I cried and demanded that I never ever go there again and refused to allow mommy to mention my shots while in my presents.

While saying my prayers, I went on and on about my toys being quiet and not able to speak. The other day I said in my prayers that I was grateful for chocolate milk.

Aunt Reeree has been gone for five years now. Mommy me to the store and I picked out some yellow flowers for her. We met grammy for MDFD. Then we took Laree flowers together. Mommy wonders if this will ever get easier.

When we were at the vets getting Maggie's shots, I talked to everyone that would listen about our dogs and that we used to have four, but now we have three. I kept telling the vet about my shots, asking about Maggie's shots. I had to be absolutely certain, so I kept asking for reassurance that the vet was not going to give me any shots. As I mention before, I never ever want shots again. Mom said that they only give animals shots at the vets, but I had to be sure.

All of us went to "Gnomeo and Juliet". Before the movie started, Mommy was getting after me for running around. I stuck her finger in her face and said, "Take your business away." So in other words, mind your own business, lol. It was rather naughty of my, but mommy was so caught off guard by it, that all she could do was laugh.

Before mommy left for work today, I asked mom if she had a date tonight. After she answered me, my follow up question for clarification was if it was a hot date. I made sure that I asked her the next day how her date was last night :).

When mom was putting me to bed, I wanted to sleep in her bed. She said no because it gives her a miserable night's sleep. So, I told her that I was sorry for frustrating her and then told her that I love her with all her heart.

When mommy asked me what I wanted for breakfast, and I said that I wasn't hungry. She said, "You don't want anything for breakfast". So to make myself absolutely clear, I repeatedly said, "Absolutely not" and put emphasis on different parts of the words each time I said it.

Grammy took me to the doctor today and I have a double ear infection. When we went to get my prescription, I went up to the pharmacy counter and said, "I need medicine." Then when grammy took me to meet daddy, her car wouldn't start. While we were waiting, I opened the door and said, "Somebody help my grammy get her car started." We got it going and met up with daddy, I got to spend the week with him!

January 2011

I got to see the lights at the Botanical Garden in Boise! I was yodeling when we were at the top of the hill. When we got down to one of the fires they had a lady said to me, "You must be the one I heard yodeling."

After church we made brownies and I told mommy that she was doing and "exquisite" job!

When grammy got my lunch out today and told me that mom packed me a peanut butter and jam sandwich, I said that I wanted to make it because I am good at it. Then after a few minutes I asked for help and had to admit that I wasn't so good at it.

After church daddy got the web cam working and I got to talk to him on it!

We got to make chocolate chip cookies for fhe :)! Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite!

The other day I was telling mom all about how Jesus healed my hand that I cut when I fell on the ice :).

It's my birthday!!!! Four years old, mommy can't believe it. I got to help decorated my cake. When I was helping mom make my cake I said that it wasn't fantabulous now but it would be tonight and kept talking about having birthday company. Then I got a bath, had my four year check up at the doctors, and had my four year pictures done! When we were at the doctor's office I was so funny talking to everyone and telling them all about my birthday plans. The doctor commented that I was very talkative. I am in the 95% for height and weight, and everything looked good. I also said that grandpa is a genius about stuff. On our way home, we stopped at grandma Kofoed's to pick up the gift she had for me and she gave me an ice cream bar! Everyone came over for pizza, cake, ice cream, and presents. Every present I opened, I would say that it was what I always wanted. I had so much fun today, it was a great birthday :).

I heard mommy say that she would never date someone with a mustache because she couldn't take anyone under the age of 50 with a mustache seriously. So I said to grammy that I didn't know who grandpa could date because he has a mustache, lol. Mommy told me that he didn't need to date anyone because he is married to grammy.

When mommy was leaving for work this morning I followed her out the door and told her not marry anyone while she was at work, or kiss anyone, and made sure she had snacks incase she got hungry, etc...She told me not to worry about her, that she could take care of herself :). I left today to spend the week with daddy today!

This morning I got in bed with mom. She asked me if I wanted some mandarin oranges with my breakfast and I said, "That would be messy in bed." Silly mommy, I don't know what she was thinking, lol.

While I was eating my breakfast, I asked mom who drank all of my milk. She told me that it was me, but I insisted that it was the dogs. She told me that it wasn't possible that it was anyone else because I had been sitting in front of it the whole time, that she didn't drink it, and that it couldn't possibly be the dogs because they can't drink out of a straw, lol. I'm not convinced with her reasoning as sound as it may be, I still insist that it was the dogs. She finally had to tell me that she was done discussing it. Later I was playing in the back yard and came in all upset because I had stepped in dog poop, lol. Mom gave me a bath and while she was washing me, I said, "What's the deal with ear wax?" I also told her, "Don't get sassy about me."

I called grandpa this morning and while I was talking to him said, "Sorry to disturb you at work". Later we went to grammy's and were watching American Idol. When I saw Steven Tyler, I asked, "Why is that not a girl?" Then later said that they should take his wig off, lol.

Mommy was talking to uncle Clancy and while she was on the phone I was making a bunch of noise. When she tried to get me to be quiet, I said, "But I want to rock and roll."

December 2010

I was talking to grammy on the phone this morning and said, "Ski-dadle", mom thought it was so funny!

We got a ton of snow, so when mommy was done working today, we went sledding! After that we watched a movie together. Today, I scribbled on myself and was showing it to mom. She asked me if we write on ourselves and I said, "Well you do." I had her there, lol.

I was talking to daddy and kept telling him that I couldn't hear him. So he said it really loud and I said, "You don't have to shout." Then I was talking to Nana and she asked me if I went sledding with a friend. I said, "Yeah, a friend called my mom."

It was St. Nicholas today! After we had presents and lunch, we went and saw Tangled :).

The other day when I was with grammy, she heard me pushing buttons on the phone. When she came in to see what was going on, I said that I was just trying to call someone that I don't know.

While I was in the bath tub I decided to serenade mommy and kept singing, All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth, lol.

We found out today that uncle James and Karlie are having a boy! When grammy told me, I said, "Ahh I wanted a girl, I don't like boys."

I had a pretty fun day with mommy, we went to the library, had MDFD, and hung out around the house :).

We spent the day at grammy and grandpa's for Christmas! I got a paint set from Karlie and James and said it was just what I always wanted. Uncle Clancy gave me silly string and I thought it was so hilarious to spray everyone with it that I threw myself on the floor, on my stomach, kicked my arms and legs, and laughed, lol.

Man did I test mommy's patient tonight! While I was in the bath, I dumped half the water out of the bathtub onto the floor. The bathroom was pretty deep in water. I was made to promise never ever to do that again!

I watched The Wizard of Oz, it was her first time :). While we were taking down the Christmas stuff, I was wrapping up the baby Jesus figurine and said it was, "wrapped up snug like a life jacket." Then I smelled the extra big Christmas lights and said, "This one smells like pee...watermelon...mandarin oranges...a Christmas tree...sunshine"...Then I smelled a couple of them again and said, "This one smells like corn...blueberries." The smell seemed to be related to what color they were, lol.

I have been saying, "I don't mind", a lot lately and mommy thinks it's so cute :). When I got back from Christmas with daddy, I was saying that you're going to get a rock in your sock, when someone wasn't being nice. I got that from Jonah, meaning you're going to get coal in your stocking :).

Today mommy and I painted out nails and watched a movie. The other day, we were driving over to grammy's and I started talking about mustaches and said that they were silly. Then I said that they were silly like underwear, lol.
