HPP's first blog

Whoa, it has been a loooong time since my sista updated this blog, so I suppose I, Honey Pie Pony, need to get you all up to date!

First of all, since Natalie's last post she turned 4. Here is a picture of her celebrating her big day!


For her birthday Mama and Daddy took Natalie to see Taylor Swift. I stayed home with a babysitter, but they had a LOT of fun! Her is a picture of them at the concert.


At the end of May we moved into a new house. We LOVE it. I have my own room! Mommy painted it purple and put up some fancy purple and pink polka dots. I have a nice big closet and my own bookshelf, too. I love my new room!
Natalie got a new room too. Mommy painted in pink and put up pretty flowers. We also have a new play room and a big empty basement. We have our own big yard and a swing set. Nana bought us each a new swing and a tire swing, too! Over all we all have more room and we all think it is great.


Last weekend we went to spend some time with Nana and Papa. We had a fun time. Nattles went fishing with Papa, Auntie Amy, Mama and Daddy. I stayed home and played with Nana. Also, Mama and I went shopping with Nana Rose. Nana Rose is an excellent shopping partner....she feeds me goldfish crackers while Mama tries on clothes!!! She also fed me strawberries and whipped cream at lunch!!! We visited with Uncle Dave, Auntie Jill and Cory too. Auntie Jill gave me ice cream, Cory made me laugh with his dancing, and Uncle Dave helped me walk behind one of the boys' old push toys. Here is a picture of me taste testing the sticks in Nana and Papa's yard.



Overall, we've had a fun summer. It was my first summer, so I had a lot of big firsts. My first time crawling in the grass, first time going to the pool, first time playing on the swingset and much more. As we approach Autumn we get close to another first...my FIRST birthday.

Whew, all this catching up has made me sleepy...time for my afternoon nap! Goodnight!

New Trick

Everyone always asks me what new tricks Honey Pie Pony (aka Whitney Rose), my co-author, can do. Her latest and greatest trick is sitting up by herself. She is getting pretty good at it, too. Here is proof of her new skill.

We are the Church

A couple weeks ago I got to do one of my favorite things in front of a LOT of people.....SING!!!

Yup, my Sunday School class sang We Are The Church during the church service. Here are some photos Mommy took.

Eat Fresh

It is a beautiful Spring day in Minnesota. Mommy's thermometer says it is 54 degrees. While Whitney napped this morning Mommy cleaned the garage and I played outside. I was playing Subway in my playhouse. Mommy knew I was playing Subway because I was yelling "Who wants a five dollar foot loooooooooooooooong" out the window. So far, Mommy has been my only customer.

"Solid" Foods

Whitney started eating "solid" foods today. It didn't look very solid to me. I thought it looked kinda yucky. She wasn't too crazy about it either...

It's Only 11 Years Away

The other day I said to my mom, "I'm almost a teenager, right Mommy?"

She said, "no, not for another eleven years".

I replied, "But, I'm like a teenager, right????

Viva Las Vegas

Mommy, Whitney and I recently traveled to Las Vegas. It was my third trip there so I had to show Whits what it was all about.

Baptism

Whitney Rose had her special baptism day a few weeks ago. It was her special day, but it was a lot of fun for me too. We had so many friends and family around! Emily Boffa even came all the way from Arizona to be with Whit on her special day! Whitney's Godparents are Emily and Bill and Emily and Jay.
Here are some pictures from our fun weekend!!!!

Daddy Daugher Dance

Last night I took Daddy to our first Daddy Daughter Dance. It was at Life Time Fitness. It was extra special because mommy is the one who organized it! My friend Adelyn brought her dad. Her are some pictures of us and a video of Adelyn and I dancing.

Personal Training

It has come to my attention that daddy needs me to help keep him in shape. Here is his new work out routine.
