Avy & Cam

2009-04-20T12:33:00.005-05:00

Hi!

Gramma Rox brought Sofie Bear up to our house for a walk. She needs to come walk with me some more and teach me how to be so content in my stroller!

one of Sofie's favorite parts of the walk was hanging onto the handle bar

Dad and I had a busy weekend of yard work and enjoying the warm weather!

Just let me know if you need any help this spring, I am quite the helper!

Easter

2009-04-20T09:14:00.005-05:00

Cam and I are dressed up for church. The Carlson Easter Bunny brought me a cute ballerina easter basket and Mom forgot to get my picture with it and my pink dress...So these are the only Easter pictures we have.

Daddy and Baby Cam

Avery came home for Easter!! We had fun playing at Gramma's and at the park together while she was here. I'll get to see her again soon when she comes back in June!

Grandma and Grandpa had these huge goose eggs for us to color. We had fun dipping the eggs and getting our fingers full of easter egg die.

2009-04-14T20:17:00.002-05:00

Cam is having fun in the swing!

ahhhhhhh, sunshine!

Roxie and I are ready to roll.
Roxie might get a little chilly with no clothes on out in the garage.

What could Gavin and I be so smiley about????

We're going outside to play!

2009-04-14T13:50:00.003-05:00

playing school with my "packpack"

mom and I are gearing up to die eggs

the masterpieces

dad and i are finally getting to eat them-even if I did make quite the masterpieces, it's a lot of fun to peel these eggs too

Cam and I snuggling on the couch

I officially became a "scooter babe" now that I can scoot

Bed Time + Jay and Hailey

2009-03-20T21:27:00.003-05:00

We're ready for bed!

(Not really, I'm never ready for bed.)

Baby Jay and Baby Hailey came over to play with Cam. They are both very smiley little babies! I think Cam needs to work on his smile if he's going to hang out with those two.

Cam's trying to smile but just can't quite do it

More Smiles From Cameron

2009-03-20T21:00:00.002-05:00

Mom and I got a few more pictures of Cam when he was smiling...

I can't tell you why I love playing in this "pond" so much but I find myself "swimming" in it a lot. I must be wishing for the cabin and pool season to be here. (don't mind my jail bird jammies minus the jail bird shirt...the water in the pond is very warm)

Smiles from Cameron

2009-03-17T15:52:00.004-05:00

I'm realizing I have a pretty eventful life compared to baby Cam. If you notice most of his pictures are from the swing-he pretty much just hangs out with mom, eats, and if mom cant hold him, then he gets dropped in the swing. I really like it that he started to smile but Mom and I are having a hard time catching it on camera. Here are some of his new faces.

I'm out having fun while Cam is sleeping. I was practicing my pedaling but now I'm onto organizing Dad's garage. Would anyone like some fish line to floss their teeth with?...How was I supposed to know it's for fishing poles and not teeth!

back to the story of Cameron's life, hanging out...

A little excitement for Cam. We're testing out the stroller one last time before it goes to the garage. We actually got to use it for the first time on Sunday-it was fun for the first 5 blocks and then I was ready to get out and run.
That's all for now...

Baptism-God Bless You Cameron

2009-03-11T15:09:00.004-05:00

My little baby brother was baptized on Sunday. We had a party after his baptism at our house and Cam was surrounded by lots of special people who love him.

Mommy & Daddy

The Family Picture-Cam is okay with picture time so far

Grandma and Grandpa Lodermeier-poor Cam has had enough of pictures

2009-03-11T14:55:00.003-05:00

Cheeseburger!

My daycare buddy Amanda finally came over to play-we've been trying to get together for months at my house and Mom finally said yes!

Hi Cam!-Isn't he getting big!

Mom bought me this new stroller. I'm having a very hard time waiting to go out strollin in it. In the mean time I've been using itinside for my babies

Here's Cam again

What I've been up to...

2009-03-11T12:12:00.005-05:00

Aloha! Sofie Bear went to Hawaii and brought me this way cool dress up outfit. I have to talk Mom and Dad into taking me there!

Sofie wishes she is still in Hawaii and is showing me how she wore her shades in the nice sunshine at Hawaii.

Heading out for a cloudy day walk. The things a 2 year old HAS to have for a cloudy day stroll:

1. rain boots to walk through every puddle (yes I do like puddles, even though I'm a girly girl) 2. Three pairs of sunglasses because it's soo bright out 3. and of course lipstick!!

I love my new baker's outfit. Bev, Mom's friend, brought it for me for a big sister present. We're having a hard time finding time to cook together though-Cam is such a Mommy hog!

Another friend of Mom's, Christina, brought Baby Max over to see us. Cam is such a munchkin compared to him. We'll see how much trouble they get into together when they get big. Max is 2 months older than Cameron.

Cameron and I are enjoying breakfast in our favorite spots!

Sleeping Beauty and the Sparkle Dancer

The Schafer's are over to play-I should've asked for a new baby a long time ago if I knew it would attract so much company. Aunt Katie is reading all of us a book, including Cam who is hiding on her tummy.

I'm trying to show Cam how life is around our house. Here he is enjoying some of my makeup and jewelry in the bouncy seat. If only he were a girl, a pink blanket would match this picture much better-poor guy

The Schafer's are enjoying my girly toys-we had a lot of fun playing dress up with these clicky shoes and my princess clothes.

I'm trying to practice some hoops but I have a VERY LONG ways to go before I can take my best buddy Gavin on in a game

I love smothering Cam in his swing. Luckily, he's in his crib right now because my babies and I have taken over the swing.

I spend lots of time reading my books when I'm at home with Mom. I also have fun being Cam's teacher; he needs to start learning about all of the princesses if he's going to fit in at our house. Right now we're studying Cinderella.

2009-02-14T16:34:00.004-06:00

Life at home has been very eventful! Having a new brother at our house is sure fun. He lures in lots of visitors to stop by and then sleeps the whole time they are here. They bring presents and nummy food and little kids come to play with me. Cam sleeps all the time and I'm getting lots of attention from Daddy and Mommy being at home so much. What more could we ask for?!

Cam's first trip out of the house was to Grandma Rox's house for Wednesday daycare. She has this gumball machine that all of us big kids love. The gumballs are almost out and we sure hope she buys a refill!!

Cam's ready to go to Grammas.

Great Aunt Deb made Cam this very pretty quilt.

She gave one to me when I was little too and now it's on my big girl bed.

Cam's sleeping again

Who is the most tired?

For surely not me, I don't get tired.

Cam sleeps so much, it cant be him either,

Daddy must be the winner.

Sofie came to visit us-we're pajama girls

Happy Valentines Day!

Thanks for the hearts Grandma Rox!

MY NEW BROTHER

2009-02-11T15:51:00.004-06:00

I'M ENJOYNIG MY NEW BABY BROTHER AT HOME! HE SURE SLEEPS A LOT!

I LOVE THE DIAPER CHANGES AND HELPING WITH THE PACIFIER. I'M STARTING TO WANT TO HOLD HIM ALL THE TIME AND I AM HAVING FUN BEING A BIG SISTER!

Cam's first bath at home with Daddy

Back to holding Cam again

Sofie is ONE

2009-01-23T21:41:00.003-06:00

Life around our house hasn't brought too many pictures. Hopefully there will be lots coming soon whenever the new baby decides to arrive. I'm still asking for a baby sister...

My cousin Sofie had us over for her first bday party-she's already one!!! The Schafer boys and Sofie's other cousin Grant were also at the party. We all had fun playing with Sofie's new toys and chasing around her house.

Little Sofie is such a party animal! She made it all day without a nap and can barely stay awake to eat her supper here. I look guilty in this picture due to Robin, Sofie's other aunt, giving me a little snitch of Sofie's baby food. Thanks Robin, I'll help you feed Sofie anytime!

2009-01-04T21:12:00.005-06:00

I spent New Year's at the cabin fishing, sliding, and playing in the cabin. I even got to stay up past midnight but I was a little tired the next day! Wishing you all a Happy New Year!!

I hope everyone had a fun Christmas because I sure did. I love playing with all of my presents and wearing my new clothes. Mom thinks I am finally almost all caught up on my lack of sleep from the Holidays. There are a bunch of pictures below so you can see some of the Christmas Party action I had.

Christmas with Grandpa Len and the 2 other little people that were there-Sofie and Taylor

This was the closest I got to Santa-he did bring me some diapers for my babies which I really do like though so maybe he's not so bad after all.. I heard he won't be back for a whole year so I have some time to ponder on it.

The 4 rascals

Pud won my heart over by giving me some lipstick at Christmas. I liked my lipstick so much I even agreed to get my picture taken with him!

Avery, Grandma, and me. I only got to see Avery for 2 nights before Christmas but we had fun running around and playing together. It was extra fun to have the same Christmas dress as her that Grandma gave us.

Dad and I love playing Nintendo together on these cold days that we're stuck in the house

Enjoying some of our winter snow!

A hug for Daddy at the Holidazzle Parade

I'm a big girl now-check out my new room

2008-12-13T21:10:00.003-06:00

Mom finally let me sleep downstairs in my new pink room. I love my pink room and I can say I officially made the move-officially, meaning I've only slept there two nights so far but it's going good. I have my own big girl pink bed, lots of pink toys, my princess stuff, my carebears, and of course my babies in my new big bed.

My old room turned into the toy room for now until my brother gets here. And by the way, I want a sister, not a brother. Mom says I have a strong will...whatever that means...and that my determination will not be able to win the battle of a brother vs a sister arriving-hmmm.

My movie seat

Sprinkling Christmas cookies with Mom

Sliding vs Santa

2008-12-10T18:11:00.002-06:00

The excitment to go sliding with my Daddy....

....was a little greater than seeing Santa.

I went to "see" Santa and I mean see not sit by Santa on Saturday. I was brave enough to get a candy cane from him but I couldn't quite tell him that lipstick was on the top of my list.

Sharing my Christmas book with Daddy

Daddy and I out sliding

2008-12-10T08:55:00.002-06:00

Getting into Dad's technical toys- he left them out for me to grab so I snatched them right up. Except, these headphones aren't playing any music???

Baking our first batch of christmas cookies with Mom

Who can resist a snitch? Beaware-if you eat any of my cookies they are hand baked with love and they probably have a few of my finger prints in them from the nummy snitches.

Helping decorate the tree

Happy Thanksgiving

2008-11-27T21:05:00.002-06:00

I had a fun Turkey Day with Mom's family. There was all this talk about shopping and the Black Friday ads for tomorrrow so I decided to see what it was all about. They were right-there are tons of toys that I saw in my ad. Of course I need to have all of them. As you can tell from the picture, Dad's not too interested in my shopping list for tomorrow. I need to find a way to convince him to take me to the store so we can get some of these deals! Maybe I'll look for the electronics ads and find some stuff for both of us-I saw a princess radio and princess tv.

Snoooooowwwwwwwwwww

2008-11-27T20:48:00.002-06:00

It snowed and I'm trying to figure out what this stuff is. So far, the only thing I can figure out is it messes up my mittens...

Let me just see what this stuff tastes like...

DELICIOUS! Just like ice-I love ice!

Enough taste testing, on to more important work-shoveling the driveway. I need to get it all done before Dad comes home from work. With the amount of snow my 'sand box' shovel can handle, it might take me awhile.

Trick or Treat

2008-11-27T20:22:00.002-06:00

I had lots of fun trick or treating and I am still eating from my candy pile-I love candy. My costume was Minnie Mouse. I'm not so in love with Minnie but I do love anything pink so it was fun to dress up as Minnie for the day

In the morning I went to Amy's house with Mom. We met up with all my daycare friends and then some more neighborhood daycares. We went on a Halloween parade together and had lots of fun. Below are most of my friends from Amy's house

That night I got to hand out candy at home. I went trick or treating in the country when Dad got home from work. By the time I found my Lodermeier cousins, I was getting a little tired-somehow we still managed to eat just a little candy together and had fun with all of our treats.

Carving Pumpkins

2008-11-27T20:03:00.003-06:00

Daddy helped me carve pumpkins before Halloween

I'm not so sure of the inside of this pumpkin

I'm starting to have a little more fun now that I can use a spoon instead of my fingers

and I'm finding some seeds

While Dad was cutting out the face, I couldn't help so instead

I got to draw a face on my little pumpkin

Then we were almost done and I got to put the hat on

And here we are with our masterpieces!

"Buff's Barn" (or Barn's Bluff as the rest of us know it)

2008-10-26T09:07:00.005-05:00

We went to Buff's Barn this weekend and I got to do some climbing. I found a lot of leaves, some rocks, sticks, rock climbers, hikers, trees, trains, boats, rivers, a fox, and some more leaves.

It was a fun trip

Birthdays

2008-10-26T08:58:00.002-05:00

Grandma Rox celebrated a birthday. Happy Birthday Grandma!

(Sofie hadn't arrived to the party when we cut the cake so she missed the pictures.)

Grandma needed a little extra wind power with her candles

Grandpa Doug also had a birthday this week but I didn't get my picture with him.

Happy Birthday to you too Grandpa!

MN ZOO

2008-10-26T08:40:00.003-05:00

We BEARLY made it to the MN Zoo before the snow came this year. The African animals had gone back to Africa already but that's okay because I think I saw all of them at the Como Zoo. My favorite animals were the monkeys, the bears, and the farm animals.

The zoo was decorated for Hallozooween.

Mom and I are standing next to one of the scarecrows.

This is my favorite one, the teddy bear scarecrow.

The Bears

Mom and I are playing in the bear cave. My favorite book right now is Going On A Bear Hunt. We had fun pretending to be in the book while we were playing in the cave.

This is the closest I could get to the bears

Combine Ride

2008-10-22T22:58:00.002-05:00

This is hard to believe, but I am up in that combine riding with Uncle Brent!!
He was combining beans at Grandpa Dick's house and let me come with to help. It was very cool and his hopper sure did fill up with a lot of "soy beans". I am not so patiently waiting for another ride-almost every morning and night on my way to and from Amy's I spot the bean field and ask to go in the combine. Mom says I will get to go again when they start picking corn.

Okay, the truth is I really did like the ride but I don't know if I could have done it without Mom with. That combine is a huge machine!!

My flower skirt wasn't quite right for the event but Mom didn't tell me I was going to be farming that day-for corn season I will have my farming attire ready!

Feeding Freddie with Grandma Agenten

2008-10-22T22:31:00.004-05:00

Avery returned to Goodhue for another visit. While she was here, we were able to do my favorite thing at "Grandma Yoya's" house-feed the animals. Freddie the duck is my favorite to feed becuase he eats the corn very very fast and is always looking for something to eat. Here Grandma brought us to the barn to get some corn so we could get started on our mission.

Next we load up our cups with corn and make sure Freddie is nice and close.

And then we throw out our corn and watch Freddie go to town.

Below Aunt Val is helping us feed the horses

Tweite's Pumpkin Patch With Avery

2008-10-22T21:57:00.006-05:00

Avery and I went on a trip to the Pumpkin Patch. We both fell in love with these two tiny pumpkins. The pumpkin patch was filled with activities for us and we had a lot of fun exploring. I keep asking if we can go back to the Pumpkin Patch and haven't talked mom into it yet.

Princess Leah's Wedding

2008-10-05T22:22:00.004-05:00

Congratulations Leah and Ryan.

I had a lot of fun at your wedding and today at church I was wondering where Princess Leah was. Below Leah is giving mom the OMG Look-I think she's thinking not only am I a princess but a married princess!

Labor Day Weekend 2008

2008-09-07T15:08:00.002-05:00

We went to the cabin for Labor Day.

Dylan and Gavin are planning what we are going to do next-however, we don't have our life jackets on so I don't think we'll get too far.There's always good food to eat at the cabin.

Do you think I can eat this many hotdogs?
Gav and I swing. Dylan pushes--sounds dangerous

Morning story hour with Teacher Katie

The ZOO

2008-09-07T09:33:00.004-05:00

On one of the Schafer's last days of summer vacation, I went to the Oxbow Zoo with Grandma Rox, Katie, Dylan, Gavin and Mom. If only summer would last forever...

2 YEARS OLD

2008-09-07T09:15:00.006-05:00

So Mom has been neglecting to update you on a very important day I had-my 2nd birthday! I did a lot of celebrating with a family birthday one night, a party with Mom and Dad another night, and a party at daycare with Amy and my friends. My birthday sure did keep me busy. And now with all of my new toys and clothes I've been even busier.

Here I am eating some cake on my big day-the frosting is the best part of course!

Wow-a present!

What's in here?

Trying out my new lipstick on Mom

Now that I'm a 2 year old, I'm trying out this new big girl bed and I love sleeping with all of my babies

2 YEARS OLD

2008-09-07T08:41:00.005-05:00

Below I'm with my Carebear cake at my family birthday party and I'm not quite sure about all of these people watching me...

Sofie, Dylan, and Gavin stood next to me to make me feel better but I am still pretty nervous with everyone watching us.
And then they all started singing Happy Birthday (which is now one of my favorite songs) and I couldn't take it anymore. Luckily Dylan and Gav were still close by to help me with the candle blowing.
I recovered from the Happy Birthday song and had a very fun party. Gavin and I are checking out one of my new babies, Jackie.
Finally I have my own make-up. I always try to get Mom's but now I have my very own. Thanks Brent and Christie!

I'm getting a little tired but not too tired for cake with the Schafer's

Playing with all of my new toys

Wisconsin Dells

2008-08-11T22:10:00.006-05:00

Mom took a week off from work and at the end of the week Dad took us to the Wilderness at Wisconsin Dells. I had a blast at all of the waterparks there and became quite the fish by the end of our trip. I had lots of fun going down the kiddie waters slides and hanging out with Mom and Dad. Below are some photos from the pools.

LaCrosse's Children's Museum

2008-08-11T22:02:00.002-05:00

On the way to Wisconsin Dells, we stopped at the Children's Museum in LaCrosse. I had fun checking out all of the exhibits and the grocery store was definately my favorite.

Mommy's Helper

2008-08-11T21:45:00.003-05:00

While we were on vacation, I got to help with a little cooking

Or maybe just helping with the s"nitching" part...do my blue eyes look guilty here or what!
Enough of the stirring and nitching, on to my apple!
Also in July, I went to Princess Nikki and Ben's wedding. I had a blast at the dance and loved this light up necklace. Mom's camera was out of battery so this is the only picture we got from the day-if she couldn't get any of the princess, at least she got one with my necklace!

Mom wanted to get my picture in the dandelion field so we went to Grandmas looking for the dandelions. There weren't many left, but we did find Gavin and Dylan there-a much better find than dandelions.

Memorial Day Weekend

2008-05-28T21:58:00.004-05:00

I went to Grandpa and Grandma's cabin for the weekend and had a blast. The weather was a little chilly so I didn't get to wear my new bikinis. I had a lot of fun on the boats. fishing, running around, and hanging out with Dylan, Gavin, and Sofia.

I needed a little help from Grandma reeling in this big one.

I finally caught one!
There's even a swing at the cabin-weeee

Running around with Gavin-he always finds good stuff for us to do

2008-05-18T21:40:00.003-05:00

I've got my hands on these 2 cups and I'm not going to let them go.
I will keep smiling nice for the pictures though.
I really like the windows down in the car, an easy fix for when I start to get a little spunky.
"I'm up to something mommy"
Now that garage sale season has started, Mom is finding all kinds of new treasures for me. This new chair is one of them.

Since I haven't gotten my cup of milk this morning, I'll share Ruby's. I haven't had a bottle for 9 months, but I still always want to drink from them when the other babies are drinking theirs...I'm not getting any from this one though...frustrating.
Enjoying the nice weather on my new horse

Heather and Jeff's Wedding

2008-05-14T21:23:00.008-05:00

Heather and Jeff got married the last weekend of April-congratulations!!! (We're just getting around to getting some pictures.) I had a lot of fun at their wedding and was on my best behavior at the reception (thanks to Grandma Gloria for spending the afternoon with me so I could get an extra long nap in).

My cousin Dylan was the world's cutest "ring boy". He had some cute spikey hair, new glasses, and a nice "black suit". He even made it down the aisle. He will be making his next appearance at cousin Ben's wedding this summer. I can't wait for some more dancing!
Dylan's pondering...should I take the rings up to Heather and Jeff or not?????

Here I found some "chocolate" now if I could just figure out how to open it.

Finally I can get down and dance!!

It's getting a little late but I'm not giving up yet.
Okay, I'm really tired but not too tired for dancing. My aunt and uncles are getting a good laugh at Aunt Katie's dancing moves. She's really good at the air guitar!

Auntie Brit went to prom with Dr. Phil the same day as the wedding. I'm still asking mommy about Phil from Saturday nights babysitting. If he would go back to the short hair it might be a little easier to be on the same floor of the house as him.

2008-05-05T21:28:00.004-05:00

Grandma Rox's daycare can finally get outside and this is the only way she can keep an eye on us all. No really, we are busy bodies but she does let us on the loose when we go outside.

The Schafer boys and Brent celebrated their birthdays and had a big party. I got a special present at the party and it wasn't even my birthday. Grandma Marge gave me a Strawberry Shortcake chapstick set. Little did she know that I LOVE chapstick. It kept me occupied for almost the entire party and I had used almost a whole tube of "static" by the time we went home.

Clean up day at the lake. Us little squirts were in charge of sticks but soon we were tired of picking up sticks and found our way to the beach where we had a lot of fun enjoying the sunshine and sand.

The Children's Museum

I've been enjoying my extra attention from Mom and Dad the past few days. On Thursday, I had to go in to get me ears checked and got to spend the whole day at home with Dad. Yeah, Dad stayed home instead of Mom this time. Then on Friday we went to the Children's Museum and went to a hotel where I got to go swimming. Here I am at the Children's Museum checking out one of my favorite exhibits-the water exploration.

Dad's trying to teach me how to drive the crane. Or am I teaching him??

Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Seasame Street....

MOA

2008-04-12T22:37:00.002-05:00

The next day we went to the MOA. Since one of my favorites-Dora-is on the Nickelodeon channel I had a blast checking out the new Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park. Dora was everywhere there! I didn't try out any of the rides though-maybe next time. As you can tell by the look on my face in most of the pictures, I was in awe.

"Look Mom! There's Dora!"

Check out this cool ferris wheel they had.

We also went to see the BIG fish at the Underwater World. I loved watching them swim over my head. Their teeth were pretty cool to see too-it was fun.

After all that fun, I was very tired!!!
I take after Grandma Rox and always put my blankey over my head when I'm ready to sleep.

2008-04-12T22:21:00.002-05:00

And then Brent, Christie, and Sofia stopped over. I (with Mom's help) thought Sofia might like to try out my baby crib

As you can see, she didn't have as much fun as "my baby Sofia" has. I don't blame you for not liking it Sofia, it's small and kind of squishy in there when I try to sleep in there with my babies.

2008-04-06T22:23:00.003-05:00

I went to the playground at Rosie's park and had a lot of fun going down the slides with the Schafer boys. I had so much fun, I went to the other park the next day-and then mom remembered the camera. I had my first over night slumber party at Grandmas with Dylan and Gavin too-but no pictures, unless Grandma took some.

Dad and Dylan being buds with glasses.

Doesn't Dylan look so smart with his new glasses, what a cutie!

Happy Easter!!

My New Cousin Sofia

2008-03-19T21:20:00.002-05:00

So I FINALLY got to go see Sofia, boy is she cute! I had to wait for over 2 months. I like my babies at home but Sofia is much cooler-she's the real deal! I wanted to feed her a bottle but Mom and Christie didn't let me. I did get to read a book with her though, she had some of my favorites. I saw her spit up too...mommy told her not to be like me-what's she talking about??? I can't wait to see her again this weekend. See you soon Sofia, "luv woo"!

2008-03-08T21:07:00.002-06:00

Dylan and Gavin were over to play and here we are watching my favorite-einstein-before nap time. We had lots of fun together!!

I always want to get into the closets but I know I need to be careful so I don't pinch my fingers in the doors

Going for a walk with Daddy while Mom is resting. I'm getting excited for spring to come so I don't need to bundle up so much.

I'll take a back rub anywhere-thanks Daddy. As you know, I'm a very busy girl. Other than when I sleep, backrubs, showers and movies are about the only things that I allow my muscles to rest.

Who wouldn't want to wear their skirt on their head? My newest craze is dancing and especially when I'm wearing a skirt-usually on my bottom though. With my persisitent attitude, I usually just have to beg "donce, donce, donce...." for 5 minutes and mom or dad eventually break down. As I'm learning to talk more in my old age, my persistance is only getting more persistant because I can repeat the words over and over and over and over...

I finally got to see "Airy" (cousin Avery) again. I've been admiring her in the Christmas picture she sent but it was much more fun playing with her. We had fun playing in the tent and doing "Rosie" (ring a round the rosie) together. Here's our pajama pictures.

Dad's been working on taxes so I thought I'd give it a whirl with his pen and calculator. My third favorite past time right now is to "coller" (color)- pens, markers, crayons anything I can get my finers on. My top two other favorites are "donce" and "einstein, einstein, einstein, einstein..." (watching Baby Einstein movies).

I started to get back into my book craze this weekend and emptied out the shelf a few times

My first pony tail...I left it in as long as I leave my pig tails and barretts in -not long! Mom says if I keep pulling them out I'm going to get another hair cut soon...I don't care though, she's the one that wants my hair to get longer.

2008-01-22T22:00:00.000-06:00

Mom got a pineapple core remover for her bday and now she can make these cool drinks-but she needs to work on her sharing because I didn't get any of the drink. It's the closest thing to Hawaaii that we can get when we're here in the subzero temperatures.

2008-01-22T21:51:00.000-06:00

Congratulations to my Auntie Brit for breaking the leading scoring and leading rebounding record at GHS in girls basketball. I've been having fun going to her games and I love to run on her basketball court after the game is over.

So I've been wanting to post some pictures of my new cousin, Sofia, but when we've went to visit my mom has been so excited she forgets our camera. I have gotten to take a few peaks at her in her isolette when Uncle Brent gave me the okay to quickly come into her nursery. You can check out her website from the link to see more pics of her-she's cute!

I've been busy going to Amy's and getting into mischief at home. I can count to 11, say about half of the ABC's, and know some of my shapes now-however, I only do these tricks when I am feeling up to it. It's hard work to perform my tricks so Mom will try to get some on video so you know that I'm not fibbing you.

I got a new Dora tent from Grandma Gloria this weekend and here are a few pictures with it. I especially like my tent when someone is in it with me so mom and dad are waiting for you to come over Grandma.

I'm very excited-check out my hair

Hold on tight baby

I just got this pink shirt so Mom wanted to take a few pics. I've been having fun with all of my Christmas presents-Taking care of my new babies is hard work. I wasn't too happy about going back to Amy's last week after being on vacation but after Mom got out of sight I had a lot of fun with all of my friends. I have a lot of friends at Amy's house and I can almost say everyones name now. This weekend I helped Grandma Marge take down her Christmas tree and spent some time with Grandma Gloria while Mom and Dad went to a wedding. I also got to go out for a walk since it was so warm out. I better get going my babies need a bottle.

2008-01-06T19:19:00.000-06:00

I love you baby!
This bottle stuff is hard work
My Baby always wants to eat

Aaahhh, I got a new baby.
I have just as much fun taking the baby's hat on and off as I do playing with the baby. Thanks Grandma Agenten

preparing to nap so I can open my first christmas present

what could it be???
a big "beep beep"

12.07

2007-12-17T21:46:00.000-06:00

I've been busy trying to figure out that when I say "please" I get things much faster than my "uhuh"ing. I'm really good at my "uhuhuh"s and I try to use them to get everything!!

Last week I had the flu and my tummy is still recovering. Mom and I became best buds after a few long nights together.

I can't wait for Christmas to come. I spotted one of my presents in Mommy's closet but I can't seem to find it back. I check for it every time the closet's open but it's never there?? I have most of the ornaments on the tree memorized now. Tonight mom forgot to turn on the lights on the tree when we got home and I even stood and "uhuh"ed by the tree for her to come and turn them on. I've been on my best behavior with the tree and haven't poked at any of the presents or pulled off any ornaments...I know that doesn't even sound like me but it's true!

Mom said that my best phrases of the weekend were "Hey mommy!", "No, not the cow", "Like this", and my all time favorite "K"(for Okay).

I'm always after Dad's glasses and

now I have a pair of my own
...they just need a little adjusting
I love to drink

"where's the baby?"

2007-11-04T18:09:00.000-06:00

I'm keeping busy babbling these days. My favorite phrases are "where's the baby?" and "where's the baba?". Some of my newest words are "good girl", "eeww", "naughty", "please" and "thank you"

nice shirt mom

trick-or-treat!

who needs squash to eat when a girl can play outside

somersaults keep me busy

duckie, peek, outside, queen

2007-10-07T21:40:00.000-05:00

Could that be Avy Duck?

The Schafer's gave this duck to me for birthday-ducks are one of my favorite animals and I love this towel. I even whine to get out of the bath tub as soon as I see the towel.

peek....

a...

...boo

Being outside is the best place to be!

I spent the holiday at the cabin. Here are a few pictures of my new birthday bikini from Aunt Brit-the bikini will fit better next year but I had to try it out today. It looks like I need to work on my tan!

What is in here???

My 2 favorites-books and outside

2007-09-03T20:30:00.000-05:00

I love my books. They keep me entertained for hours, or so it seems. I'm still wondering why Mom is always putting them back on the shelf-I can't page through them on there.

2007-08-12T07:29:00.000-05:00

I discovered a new trick that Daddy really likes....

I make my first move when Dad's favorite show comes on.

I catch a little bit of the show,

find the button...

And it always works. Now lets play!

As you can tell, Mom has been falling behind on updating. For the past month we didn't have a laptop at our house, so to update Mom had to go to the office in the basement. I heard Mom talking about how glad she is to have a lap top again. If you ask me, I'd rather being going downstairs to the office...1. the stuff for me to get my hands on in that room never ends and 2. now that the laptop is back, Mom or Dad are always using it (during my play time) and I can never touch it

getting ready for bed with a smirk

I love baths

splish-splash

while making a get well card for my uncle Charlie, Mom let me sit on the pool table. it must be an important card for Charlie becuase I never get to sit up here

Part Two: Summer Vacation

we also went to the cabin for 5 days while mom and dad were on vacation from work

on vacation mom says "eat what ever you want".

apparently, instead of 'what ever' I got to eat 'where ever'

Hmmm...barrett or pony?

My First Volksfest

2007-06-11T21:53:00.001-05:00

In the arms of a princess!

I wasn't able to get a picture of us together when she was wearing her crown.

What a pretty dress with lots of pretty sparkles. My favorite kind of earings too, nice and dangly.

I had some quality stroller time at Volksfest with lots of new things to watch.

Watching the parade with Daddy and Uncle Ty

I had a fun first Volksfest,

I'll be back for more next year!
