October 2011

This morning I told mommy, "This is how I roll." 

While we were at grammy and grandpa's I said, "So, you two liked each other, so you got married?"  They said, yes, so then I said that I was glad they got married.

I got out the learning book that mom made me when I was a baby and said that I was doing my homework.  I like doing homework, but mommy's says that I won't always.

I've been asking for grammy to take me to preschool all school year and today she did!  When I got home, we painted pumpkins.  Mine is a princess :).

When mom and I were getting into the car, I said, "I love your mom and dad."  Mommy told me that she does too.

Mom was watching a music clip online and I was watching it with her and said about one of the men singing, "he's handsome".

Today we got to play at the park with mommy's cousin Travis and his family, it was so much fun! 

After my practice today for the primary program tomorrow, grammy stopped by and went to the park with us to have a picnic!   

It was the primary program in sacrament meeting in church today.  I said my part perfectly and did better than all the other kids in my class according to mommy.  When I finished my part, mommy said to grammy, "That's my girl".   

I've suddenly become very concerned about healthy eating.  Out of the blue I started talking a lot about diet, exercise, and belly fat.  Before I eat anything, I always ask mom if it's healthy and wants to exercise with her.

I got to go trick or treating with daddy this year.  I got to trick or treat at his work and with my cousins.  It was so much fun and I got so much candy that I probably won't be able to eat it by next Halloween.

September 2011

While I was at grammy's today, I wrote a note to Park that said, "Dear, dear Parker, I'll love you for a lifetime and I like your soft head." 

I today I had my first day of Preschool this year. I love preschool so much!  I really missed my classmates and my teacher :).  I caught mommy saying the word butt, and told her that we don't say that word, we say bottom.  Then I told her that it was ok, just not to say it again and told her that it was inappropriate. Hmm...where have I heard that before?

Mommy took me for a bike ride and it was a lot of fun.  She even managed not to crash this time like she did last summer.

I got in bed with mom this morning and said that I loved her and was lucky to have her as my mom.  Later I was singing a song that went, "...Sadie's going to sit on mommy's lap, Sadie loves her mama and she loves me back..."    

I earned some money at grammy and grandpa's helping grandpa wash windows.  After preschool, I got to go the store and buy something with my money. 

I went to my first ballet class!  It was so much fun, I've been wanting to ballet for a long time!

I helped mommy picked our grapes and make some grape juice.  When I tasted the grape juice, I said, "I think it tastes fantastic". 

I got in mom's bed and in reference to my stuffed puppy said, "I like it, I think it's adorable". Then while we were at grammy's, I said I was going to do a magic trick for them and said, "I'm a little nervous."

When mom asked me to drink my milk, I said, " Right away mommy".

While I was at my grandparents, I was in uncle James's room and he was putting things away in his closet.  I was pulling out outfits of Karlie's and asking him if he liked her in them.  He answered yes to all of the outfits I pulled out.  I then asked him if he liked Karlie in all of her outfits, to which he said yes.  So then I said, "Then why don't you marry her."

On our way to grammy's, mommy and I were having a discussion about me needing to eat the crust on my sandwich and I said, "I don't want to hear another word about it." 

Mommy took me to the library, and to watch the homecoming parade.  Then we met grandpa for MDFF since it's his birthday :). 

After church, mom found a mouse in the trap that was still alive.  So mommy had to do the dirty task of finishing it off.  Mommy's never had to do that before and found it very disturbing.  I wanted to watch.  Mommy's says that she'll never be the same again.  I kept telling everyone about it all day.  When mom was putting me to bed, I sang a song to her that I was making up about her killing the mouse.  It even rhymed. When I was getting ready for bed, I got after Milo for bringing an apple in the house and told him that it was not acceptable. 

August 2011

I started the next round of swimming lessons. Oh boy!

Today I got to watch a movie in my favorite place, mommy's bed!

I asked mom if she was thinking about Park and then informed her that I was thinking of him better than she was.

What a fun day, mommy took me to Smurfs, and then to the county fair in Ontario. We also got to go out for ice cream afterwards! We had a fun day! When I was getting out of the car, I put all of my things in a bucket that I brought that has a lid and said that it was a nifty container.

While we were at grammy's, mom asked everyone if they knew what spelt was. I said that I did. According to my endless wisdom, it's when you are thinking really hard about something and fall on your face. Then I added, or when you get kicked in the "bahootie".

Mom and I went over to her friend Maria's and mom made me a skirt. It's so cute, I'm very excited about it!

I had my very first slumber party today. The neighbor girl, Lexi, came over and spent the night with me, we had so much fun!

After mom took me out for MDFF and to the library, we went out to grammy's. While we were there, she made some accessories to go with the skirt she made me! She made me a purse, a headband, and some matching cloth flowers for all of them. They are so cute!

Grammy took me to her nephew Ryan Leonard's wedding reception. While I was there, mommy brought Scott. So grammy and I finally got to meet the guy she has been seeing.

We drove to Coeur d' Alene today for our vacation. Before we left, I said, "...I'm going to be exasperated." After we got checked into our hotel, we went to a dinner show where they put on a skit and performed some music, it all had a country western theme. I really liked it and was dancing in the aisles. The next day, we did a little shopping and then went to the museum. After that we went to a water park! Mom kept trying to get me to go down the slide with her. finally after all day after all day of trying to talk me into, I said that if she asked me again, I was going to whack her with my bun. Our last day there, we spent most of the day at the beach. Then we played in the pool at our hotel and went out to dinner after that. Mommy also got a me a new dress and then took me out for dessert. I had a lot of fun on our vacation, but when we got home, I said, "It's great to be home."

When I was eating my dinner, I gave mom the hand signal of "I'm watching you", by pointing to my eyes with my pointer and middle finger and then pointing them towards her, lol. I also drew a picture of mom with a circle around it and a line through it and put it on my door. I said that she wasn't allowed in my room. When she told me she was going to do the same thing to me, I didn't like the sound of that one bit, and took down my sign.

Mommy took me to spend the week with daddy. When we got to the meeting point, and she took me to the bathroom, I was rubbing my nose and said, "The only way to itch your nose is to rub it, now remember that."

July 2011

After a fun filled week with daddy, mommy picked me up and took me out to see the 4th of July fireworks with grandpa, grammy, and uncle Clancy. I saw a lot of people with their shirts off at the park and asked mommy why there were so many naked people.

Mommy didn't know it until I got into preschool last year and had to get up for school, but I am not a morning person. When I got up this morning, I said, "I don't feel like doing anything today." Then when mom asked me if I was eating my breakfast, I said, "I just need to chill for a little while."

I was watching "So You Think You Can Dance" and asked mom if a dancer that has the side of her head shaved was a girl. When she told me that it was a girl, I said, "I hate her hair" and went on to say that she looked stupid and that I don't like her. I also said to mom today, "You're so sweet to me mom."

Mommy watched her cousin Travis's daughter Fallynne. I was very helpful and had a lot of fun playing with her. Mommy asked me what my favorite part of it was and I told her that it was when Fallynne pooped in her diaper. Later in the day everyone came over and we had a birthday party for aunt Reeree. After that we went to the cemetery and released balloons.

I was talking about the song on "Pinocchio", When You Wish Upon A Star, and asked mom if dreams can come true. Then I watched the movie and asked mom if she knew how to find a wishing star. I said that I was going to wish for real chipmunks and a real puppy. I later said that I was just kidding about the puppy and that I didn't want one until I was older.

Last night when I woke up in the middle of the night mom took me out to wish on a star. The next morning, I asked her why my wish didn't come true. She told me that sometimes they don't happen right away, so thru out the day I repeated what she told me to any strangers that would listen.

When we were at grammy's, I called uncle James's dog Rider a "big ga-loot". Grandpa got me some roller skates and I really like them!

I had a fun day with mommy, we to the library, had MDFD, and went to the park. Later we made chocolate chip cookies! My favorite!

When mom got out of bed this morning, I gave mom a hug and said, "Give me a happy face." Later in the day, we got to go to the park and then we ate out!

What a great day! Mommy took me to the Roaring Springs water park today and I had a really good time, it was a lot of fun! On our way home we even got ice cream!

This morning when mom was trying to hurry me to eat my breakfast I told her that she was being a grumpy grouch, lol. Then I went to spend the week with daddy!

When I'm over at grammy's, I've been helping them let Ryder outside. I tweet like a bird and open the front door for him to go out. That silly dog thinks I'm a bird and follows me right out the door, I'm so tricky ;). I've also been saying when I need to go to the bathroom, but it's not an emergency, that my pee is patient. I was telling mom some kind of story and said, "...boom and then we're there." I asked her the other day if she even knows what patience is. A while ago, I said to mom, "Sorry mom, rules are rules."

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:).
