Happy Birthday Sweetie

For those of you who have not met Sweetie yet, she is my imaginary friend. She goes with me everywhere. Wednesday was Sweetie's birthday. Mom and Dad didn't know about it, so I had to remind them in the morning about it. Mom did have a birthday gift for Sweetie, but she wouldn't let me have a party for her. Sweetie really wanted cupcakes to celebrate...maybe next week when Sweetie has another birthday....

Family Day

Sunday is my favorite day of the week. Mommy and Daddy always reserve Sunday for "Family Day". That means Mommy, Daddy and I always get to do something fun together. Yesterday we went to the Mall of America. I got to meet Dora and SpongeBob. I also went on some rides. Then we went for lunch at Johnny Rocket's (Mommy's FAVORITE!). It was a really fun day. When we got home we all took a nice big nap! It was a great day!

Let me check my calendar

Since I'm so busy, I'm always asking what day it is, what we are going to do each day, what tomorrow is, what we are going to do, etc. Mommy decided to buy me a calendar so we can write what I am going to do each day, and cross out the days that already happened. I take this calendar very seriously. Today someone asked me when I could go play with them, so I politely replied "I'll have to check my calendar".

The past two months

Okay, okay....so It has been a very long time since I've written on my blog. I do apologize....but Daddy, Mommy and I have been very busy. Here is a recap....

In early May, Mommy, Daddy and I went on a vacation to California. We stayed and Uncle Joe's house and lots of fun with him and "the sistas". We went to In-n-Out Burger (I LOVED it!), shopped at the "Jungle" Target, played mini golf, swam in the pool, and went to Disneyland! We rented a fancy convertable and I even got sunburnt on my legs from cruising with the top down!

After we got home from California, I turned 3! I had a party at preschool, and celebrated at dinner with Uncle Derek, Uncle Dave, Nana, Auntie Amy, Mommy and Daddy. Then I had a party at Life Time and had 15 of my friends there. Then I had a party at my house with more grown up friends! I love birthdays! Mommy and Daddy bought me my own laptop and a toy box!

We spent the rest of May and early June with trips to the park, swimming at Life Time, coloring with sidewalk chalk, and blowing bubbles in the yard.

At the end of June we went to Babbitt to visit our family. Mommy, Daddy and I went to the kids races, watched Nana compete in the weight lifting competition, and spent lots of fun time with our family. Mommy and Daddy had to go back to Lakeville, but I got to stay in Babbitt!!!! I had so much fun with Nana, Papa, "Amy", Nana Rose, Jay, Michelle, Cory, and Auntie Jill! We went to the Bear Center, played at the park, and ate lots of ice cream shakes!

When my time in Babbitt was done Amy and Nana brought me back to Lakeville...but before the left we did some fun stuff! We went to the 4th of July parade, went shopping, roasted marshmallows and watched lots of fireworks!

So that is what I have been up to for the last two months....I will try to be better about my blogging, but I am a very busy young lady!

Here are a few pictures from along the way....

Macation

Mommy, Daddy and I are going on "macation" to Uncle Joe Joe's in California later this week. I'm really excited to sit in my own chair on the airplane, and to ride in the convertable that Mommy and Daddy are renting.
Daddy said if I'm a good girl I might be able to go see Mickey Mouse. He said there might even be a ride for me to go on!!!!! :-D
We get to sleep over at Uncle Joe Joe's house with Auntie Patty, Jay Boffa, Emily & Shannon.
I can't wait!

Lost in Translation

The other night mommy and daddy were talking to each other. The conversation went like this:

Mommy: I'm not really hungry for dinner, should I just make some mashed potatos?

Daddy: Sure, lets vacuum seal the pork chops then.

I translated it for them and said "Mommy, you need to vacuum then make the tomatoes. "

Our Songs

Mommy and Daddy each have a special song with me.

My song with Mommy is by Darius Rucker (or Darius Wucker, as I say). Mommy says it is about me. It is called It Won't Be Like This For Long. I like to sing along at the TOP of my lungs. This song usually makes mommy cry, but when I sing it makes her giggle!

My song with Daddy is Viva La Vida by Coldplay. Daddy and I rock out to it in his car. I like to sing along to that song too. "Ohhhhhhh, ohhhhhhhh, ohhhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhh"
