It's Fall!!!!!

Gymnastics goblins!!! All the kids in my gymnastics class showed off their costumes today. I'm the chicken!!

At gymnastics, here I am on the "Big Pumpkin"-- Darrell is bouncing us on the trampoline!! I loved it!! I couldn't stop giggling!

Mom and I baking banana bread. I had to eat the top part of each banana!! I like to dump the ingredients in and stir it all up!

Dad and I before my bedtime. See how curly my hair is here? That's as curly as it gets!

Me on a beautiful fall day that I had a fever and couldn't go to the babysitter's. I wasn't too sick, though, and mom and I had a great day staying at home and having fun outside!

I love to smell the mums!!

Posing for fall pics!
This pumpkin was so much fun to make: glitter and jewels!! I loved putting it all on!

Here I am trying on my Halloween costume-- I think it's quite funny!

At Celebration City for Nana's St. John's company picnic. Katja went with us-- we had so much fun!!

Here I am trying on Daddy's shoes--- too bad I didn't get them on the right feet!!

These have been in the camera for a little while.

Do I look like Princess Leah?

I still love to talk on the phone!! I am really becoming quite the conversationalist!!

Riding the rocking puppy and talking on the phone are fun!!

We had just driven to Kansas City and I thought I needed to practice my driving and map reading while mom and dad unloaded the car.

We went to Kansas City twice this summer. The second time we went so that my mama and her friend Alicia could run in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer run. While we were there we went to the Crayola Factory. Here we are the entrance.

Alicia was helping me put stickers on this particular art project. We brought home a lot of art projects--it was so much fun!!

Upon getting a bunch of stickers from the Crayola Factory and bringing them home, I decided it was a good idea to put them on my ears and face. I love to tell my mom that I want earrings, and then my favorite is the noise effect that Sarah S. taught me. She said that it hurts when you get your ears pierced, and they poke a needle into them and it goes "sssssss" (like a snake!) So I say, "I want earrings, ssssssss!" Don't worry, though, mama says I have to be quite a bit older to get them pierced. No getting it just because I asked for them!!

I have been going to gymnastics. Now I have learned all kinds of flips my mom helps me do, as well as somersaults. I'm also learning how to hop. I am very anxious to learn how to hop!!!

I really like my red car--it is one of my very favorite things to play with when I'm outside. I also like to write with side-walk chalk.

I know the background isn't the most beautiful, but this is in front of the fireplace.

I have a lot of body and 'flip' to my hair!

Been toooooooo long!!!!!!

I know that it's been too long since I've updated.....but my mom's been busy!!! Back to work for her, and back to the babysitter for me. We did find time to have this cute picture taken at Toys R Us though!! I was all too happy to talk on the phone for them....can you imagine???

My First Baseball Game!!

We went to watch the Springfield Cardinals play at Hammons Field-- isn't it cool?!

Wow--look at that!! AWESOME!!

I'm getting started early watching sports with my dad.

I like to walk up and down the aisle.

You can see a little more of the field from here.

Would you just look at all this hair?!

Monkeying around at the zoo with Kieli.......

Hi Kielie!! How are you doing?


Mwuah!! It's so good to see you again!

Come on, let's go to the zoo!!

It's just getting so hot already!!!

OOOHHHHH, giraffes!!! This is exciting!!

Hehehe.... Did you see what that monkey did?!


The brand new baby elephant and it's mommy... can you believe it weighed over 230 pounds at birth? It just doesn't look that big....

The giraffes have long tongues-- they might get you wet, but it doesn't hurt!

This elephant is just our size!

Did you know that my hair is long enough to get it all in a ponytail now?

KC and chicks....

Hi!!! Here I am posing at the wedding!!

This was a fun bridge to cross.

Peeking through the holes in the rock-climbing wall....

I sure like my dad-- and mom went crazy taking pictures!!

My hair got all full of static going down this slide!

The ground of this playground was really cool-- it was soft and rubbery so it wouldn't hurt if I fell!

Peeking out of the 'bubble' at a really cool park in KC!

Mama, me, Erin, Chloe, Lindsay, and Laney at the wedding.

Leaving the hotel I was a big help pushing the luggage trolley out....

Here is the whole family enjoying the wedding.

Before the wedding, I occupied my time reading Daddy's ESPN magazine (I call it a book!).

I love to play in fountains!! The water always surprises me!!

I truly am my daddy's little sidekick!!

My Grandma let me dress up in her pearl necklace and bracelet--- aren't I a perfect princess?!

Aaahhhh--nice baby chicken!!

Papa-- I want THAT one!!
