How embarrassing!



Sorry for the long break between February and March.

Happy Resurection Day!



For Easter we went Nana and Papa's house along with about 10 other people. We (meaning mommy and then I got the next day) ate ham, turkey, twice baked potatoes, deviled eggs, fruit salad, and a peeps cake that looked like a sunflower. After everyone stuffed themselves, we went on an Easter egg hunt, played games, and played with the doggies. It was a very full day ending around 11:00pm!

Great-Grandma Rachel


Waking with Grammy


Playing with Ella Rose


Pops got the rare privelage of rocking me to sleep!


Sandra too! I was a little tired.

Unfortunately, Great-Grandma Rachel passed away 2 weeks ago today at the age of 82. She had had a stroke that should have killed her instantly, but lived three days afterward. She was able to have most of her family by her side and all six daughters. It was a blessing to be able to say good-bye. The only time I got to meet her was at the end, I told her that I loved her the best I knew how and would see her again someday. There were some long days in the hospital but I was a "perfect angel" (so they say). Everyone took turns rocking me, walking me, and playing with me. I even got to meet a lot of family I didn't even know existed (and have probably forgotten by now).

Take me out to the ball game...



Full moon



Don't you just want to pinch them?

Spoiled but not rotten



Things I like to do...



There are so many things I like to do, these are only a few. I love to play with Dafney. Although, I love her soooooo much, she doesn't quite return the love yet. Maybe when I'm bigger and do more than just pull her hair slobber all over her. Another thing I love to do is play video games with daddy. It's our bonding time! Believe it or not, I made that pile of mess myself. Mommy was making deviled eggs in the kitchen and didn't want any help, for some reason. So she put me in front of the toy baskets and I helped my self. I sat there for an hour and half playing. I had hardly noticed that mommy had come to play with me or that I had made a mess in pants as well!

A trip to Texas!



In February we (mommy and I) got to go see Uncle Scott, Auntie Brandie, Natalie, Lily, Sophie (their dog), and Sarah (their exchange student from Korea). We didn't do much, but it was a great vacation. We got to go to the park, The Salt Lick (the best BBQ I've ever had), Downtown Austin, and JC Penny's to get our picture taken. Uncle Scott and Auntie Brandie have the best yard and the weather was perfect so we played outside a lot too. My Aunt Lucretia and Uncle Terry got to see me too. They drove a whole 45 minutes so they could be the first on that side of the family to see me. Oh! and take mommy and I out to lunch at Red Robin where I met (and flirted with) 2 really cute boys! Sadly, our trip had to end, but we'll be back!






The beach was so much fun! It was like one big sand box. I was a good girl and didn't put the sand in my mouth, so amazing! Grammy flew down to stay one night with me, mommy, daddy. Then she took me home so mommy and daddy could have a night of their own. Thanks Grammy!

Splish! Splash!

I could be entertained for hours in the bathtub! The first time I splashed the water with my hands I soaked my face. When the water had been wiped away I looked around to see who had done that to me. But it was so fun, I did it again and again and again and again... Have I mentioned I really like taking baths!



Dear Jesus,
Thank you for this food that is going to fill my belly, and help me not be a cranky girl, and help me grow sooooo BIG! AMEN

Frosty the Dahlia

And they say it never snows in Oregon. At least in the valley. Our house isn't even on Mt. Hood and we were able to make a snow man. Mommy put her scarf on and hat on it and then "borrowed" some of the neighbors bark for the eyes, nose, mouth, and buttons.
