Ride 'em Cowgirl!

It started with the cowboy boots, but I couldn't stop there! Now I have a cowgirl hat and my very own trusty steed. I have a lot of fun riding through the house and roping cattle, well I haven't actually caught anything yet, but I'm close. 

Easter Lunner 2012

Easter Lunner is here again!
I was really excited for my second Easter Lunner, I don't think I was quite mature enough last year to really appreciate how much fun it is - and last year I didn't have any teeth so I couldn't eat any ham! I can't believe what I was missing! I love ham!

To prep for Easter Lunner, I first learned to talk like a chicken, then I played with some cool Easter egg toys, and finally Besty sent me a fabulous chicken dance card that I danced to all week long (and for weeks and weeks after).

Then the big day arrived. We had a wonderful day with wonderful friends. Mom made a great Easter ham and these cute chick cupcakes and bunny cupcakes - I was hoping for cake pops, but in order for those to get made I would of had to sit and play alone for a few hours, maybe next year. Then all our friends brought amazing sides and desserts to share too! Everything was so good. I mostly ate Ham, cheesy potatoes and corn casserole.... mmm mmm good! There was also zucchini casserole and a cauliflower casserole that were good too - but I could tell they were good for me, so I only had a little. Mom even let me have a little cupcake for dessert.

After all that eating my friend Molly and I played house. We had a lot of fun talking and laughing together.

What a great Easter Lunner! I'm already looking forward to next year!!

Peas Please!

I love peas!!! Heat em up, sprinkle some cheese on em, and hand them over! Yum!

I also love yogurt - but only if I'm allowed to feed it to myself. It's a little messy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Flash Cards

Here I am going through just a few of the flash cards I know. We tried to do all of them, but the iPad was more exciting and I got distracted!

Catching Up!

I got a little behind in my blogging after vacation... what can I say, we were really busy! We were only home for a week before we left again for Cincinnati - it was cousin Will's 1st Birthday!! Then I started school full time, then I got another ear infection, then I got better, then it was Easter.

Here's what you missed all in between...

I love my sunglasses and I can even take them on and off all by myself! And as you already noted I love purses!

I got in a lot of daddy/daughter time. We tried on thug hats and went on lots of walks...

Cousin Will turned 1! And Jake the dog was back for the celebration!

I found out I love Smoothies

and Enchiladas

but I'm still a little unsure of these headphones...

And that's what you missed from Me!

Single Ladies

I learned another new dance move! Check out my single ladies moves and how I "put a ring on it". There's even a little drop it like its hot thrown in for fun.

Purses & Cell Phones.

Who doesn't love a purse? They are pretty, they look good on your arm, and they hold a ton of really important things... like cell phones! I love talking on the phone already!

This makes my Dad cry a little. Sorry Daddy! I'll only call you, I promise!

Socks

Here I am trying to put on my socks! I'm so close, but I just can't quite get there!

Bucking Eggs

Here's an Easter game that was always played in my daddy's house growing up. Egg Bucking! Everyone gets a hard boiled egg and you have bucking wars to see who's egg is the strongest, if you hit another egg and your egg does not crack - you win! I was not very good at winning, but I had fun trying. After all that bucking Grandma made egg salad with the eggs, but sadly I wasn't a fan of that either. Maybe next time though!

Thanks for the egg bucking lesson Grandma and Grandpa! I had a great visit! I love you!

Colorado - our last night

After another beautiful day, we ended our Colorado week with dinner on the town! I was a handful, but we still ended up having a lot of fun.  Here's a video from dinner and also some of our last pictures...

The Gondola

After our big snow day, Grandma & Grandpa took me up the Gondola for a wonderful view and an amazing lunch! I was a little frightened on the way up, but realized what was going on and calmed down. By the time we made our way back down after lunch, I was a pro. Speaking of lunch, buffets are my new favorite meal... they have everything I could possible want! And since I'm so little they mistakenly think I would never eat my weight in food so they give me a discount - suckers!

Here's a few shots of us on the Gondola and then us up at the top of the mountain, well the top of a mountain, not the biggest one out there. Oh and did I mention that my Uncle Joe was in town too!!! He was trying to take me out snowboarding but mom said not until next year. I can't wait to go snowboarding with Uncle Joe!

Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow!

So it did finally snow, one day and just enough to cover the driveway for about 8 hours, but I'll take it. We layered up - me in my fancy matching snow suit and BOOTS. Then we hit the snow hills for some serious sleding.

It was all fun and games... until we decided to up the ante and head to a real hill, and then grandpa dumped me out of the sled and dad stuck me in waist deep snow and my boot came off. Real nice guys!

But I must admit, it was a really fun day and I'll be really excited for our next trip when it this place is actually covered in snow - all day, every day - not just for 8 hours!
