Breakfast with Santa round 1, and Bookfair round 2

Yesterday we went to Saint Francis International School where mommy works for their Breakfast with Santa. I told Santa I wanted a reindeer. Daddy answered a Nativity question correctly about who Saint Ann is (the grandmother of Jesus). He better get that one right, he works at Saint Ann's Academy!

Speaking of Saint Ann's, next Sunday is their Breakfast with Santa. Wonder what I'll ask their Santa for! Saint Ann's already had their bookfair, but Saint Francis was holding theirs this weekend. I couldn't understand why daddy wouldn't let me buy the same book I saw at the Saint Ann's Bookfair.

Today we went to Saint Ann's for church, and my classmate Claire was there for nursery during Mass. Good thing, I had been asking daddy since the night before if she would be there.

Presenting my new look

My Hearing/Vision/Speech screening a few weeks ago recommended that I get my eyes checked. Today mommy and daddy took me to Lenscrafters and I got these cool new glasses! Actually they're my third choice, I first was set on a pair of sports glasses, then a pair of brown glasses that ended up being too big for me. I told daddy I wanted to show them to my cousin Harrison!

Casey's Baptism

Today Casey got Baptized. After the Baptism, we went to Pops house to have some snacks. Today I also got to see my great-aunt Nancy, my great-uncle, Jim, and my great-aunt Ann. Once again, I got to play in the Moon Bounce with my cousins and had a blast. I really like that moon bounce. I wish I could have one in my basement but mommy and daddy said that it would not fit. When it was time to leave Pops and Gams house, I had to say goodbye to Aunt Karen, Uncle Corey, and my cousins Reagan, Harrison, Kennedy, and Madison. I was not happy and I did not want Harrison to leave and I do not like goodbyes. I was sad for a couple of days and I still miss Harrison. I had so much fun playing with him. I want to go on the airplane to Harrison's house so I can play with him. I wish I could play him every day. Mommy and Daddy said that I will be able to play with him soon.

Happy Thanksgiving

Today we went over to Pops and Gams house for Thanksgiving dinner. I had so much fun and if I had the chance, I would have played there all night long! I had so much fun playing with different toys with my cousins. We even got to color too. I tried a little bit of turkey, but my favorite food was the chicken nuggets and the peanut butter and jelly Uncrustable. For dessert, I had strawberry ice cream and I really like it a lot. The best part of the afternoon, was playing in the moon bounce in Pops and Gams basement. It is hard to believe that I actually used to be afraid of them because I love to play in there. I had such a good day playing with my cousins.

A Fun Day With My Cousins

Yesterday, my Aunt Karen, Uncle Corey, and my cousins Reagan, Harrison, Kennedy, and Madison came into town and was staying at Aunt Amy's and Uncle Scot's house. Today we had brunch with Aunt Amy, Uncle Scott, Aunt Karen, Uncle Corey and my cousins Abbey, Casey, Reagan, Harrison, Kennedy, and Madison at Aunt Amy's and Uncle Scot's house. Mommy's cousins Ellen and her husband Brandon were there too. In the afternoon, Abey, Reagan, Harrison, Kennedy, and Madison went to the park with Aunt Amy, Aunt Karen, Uncle Corey, and mommy and daddy. We had so much fun riding on the tire swing. It was a fun filled day and when we got home and had dinner, I was so tired that I went to bed. I

I wish I could be with my cousins every day, however, I have to go to school the next couple of days. I am looking forward to playing with them at Chuck E Cheese on Wednesday and also playing with them on Thursday and Friday.

Christmas Bazaar at St. Francis

Daddy took me to St. Francis International School today to see mommy. She was helping at the Christmas Bazaar by taking Character Pictures. Mrs. Claus, Santa, and Sprinkles the Elf were there. I did not get to see Santa because I went to Little Gym. I did get to see Sprinkles and had a picture taken with her. Mommy took this picture of Mrs. Claus and I.

Seeing Abbey, Casey, Amy and Pops

Today I wentto my cousin Abbey's house to play with her and see my three month old cousin Casey. After we played for a little bit, I went to have dinner with mommy, daddy, Pops, and Abbey. Mommy, Daddy, and Pops thought that we ate really well. It was really hard for me to say goodbye to Pops and Abbey. I really do not like goodbyes at all. However, I am really excited about seeing Abbey on Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to seeing Aunt Karen, Uncle Corey, Reagan Harrison, Kennedy, and Madison as well. They are flying out two weeks from yesterday. Yay!!

Playing at the Park Before Going to Church

Today we went to church at St. Camillus, daddy and mommy took me to play at the park. After I played for a little while, we went across the street and had a picture taken in front of the St. Francis International School (where mommy works) sign.

My Gymnastics Experience

Today mommy and daddy took me to Little Gym today so that I could try out a class. I really had a great time. I got to do somersaults, I flipped over a bar and I even walked on the balance beam. I really like Gymnastics and I wish mommy and daddy listened to me sooner. I kept telling them in August that I did not want to do soccer and that I really wanted to do Little Gym. Mommy and Daddy enrolled me today and I cannot wait to go back next week. Here are some pictures of my adventure at Little Gym today.

Playing With Thai

Here is a video that daddy took of me playing with Thai last night.

Spanish Immersion Camp at Communikids

I had a really fun week at Summer Camp. The camp counselors put this booklet of pictures together of everything I did during camp. Mommy took a picture of it so that we could share them with you.

A Fun-filled Week With A Great Babysitter

Sorry that we have not posted in a while. We have been really busy with mommy and daddy getting ready for the school year which will start in 11 days.

This week has been so much fun. Blair came over to babysit me every morning this week while mommy and daddy had to work. I had so much fun. Blair and I played video games, play-dough, colored, and she even drew some things with sidewalk chalk outside. Today it was really hard for me to say goodbye to her. I did not want her to go to college. Hopefully when she comes home for vacations she could babysit me again.

I Have A New Cousin!!

On August 6th, my new cousin Casey was born. I thought he was so cute. I got to see him when I went to go over to my cousin Abbey's house (Casey's big sister). I had so much fun playing with Abbey. I even got to take a quick look at Casey and then all I wanted to do was play with Abbey. Nona was there too. I am sad that Nona has to go back home tomorrow. I will really miss her. Here is a picture of mommy holding Casey.

Miller, Illinois

On our way back home, we went to Miller, IL to see Mike Haag a friend of daddy's. We went to a Mexican restaurant and I really had fun with Mike.

Dinner at Pio's

Tonight mommy, daddy, and I went to Pios for dinner in St. Charles, MO. Mommy loved this restaurant since she was a kid. I really liked it and had fun too. They have really good toasted ravioli and pizza. I even got to see my great-aunt Jeanne again and some of mommy's other relatives such as my great-aunt Connie and many cousins (Nancy and her husband Jose, Stephanie, Lauren, Ellen and her husband Brandon, Austin, and Emma. I had a really fun evening. Tomorrow it is time to start driving back home.

Magic House Children's Museum

This morning mommy and daddy took me to a museum just for kids!! I really had a great time. We went to the Magic House Children's Museum in Frontenac, MO. I got to pretend to be a judge (the judge's chamber room was donated by Bryan and Cave Law Firm where my Aunt, Amy used to work), build things, and there was even a Jack and the Beanstalk that I was able to climb on. I think mommy was kind of nervous because the beanstalk was 3 stories long!! But once I was done, she was so excited that I had fun doing it and that I was able to climb the whole thing.

Our trip to Litchfield, IL

On August 3rd, we went to Litchfield, Illinois to see my great-aunt, Jeanne, my great-uncle Ed, my cousin Sarah, her husband Ryan, and her daughter, Sydney. I got to play with Sydney and I had fun. I even got to swim in the pool at Jeanne's house. It was a great day. For dinner mommy, daddy, and I went to a pub on Main Street in St. Charles, MO and I ate toasted ravioli. Mommy tells me that it is a St. Louis/St. Charles, MO favorite. It was so yummy.

Videos of Our Trip to South Dakota

Mommy and daddy took some videos of me, Reagan, Harrison, Kennedy, and Madison. Enjoy!

A really fun week with Reagan, Harrison, Kennedy, and Madison

I had so much fun while I was at Aunt Karen's house. When it was time, it was hard for mommy, daddy, and I to leave. I had played with Reagan and Harrison every day. I even got to go to swimming lessons with Reagan and Harrison. I am now a fish because I put my head under water and I was laying on by back and on my stomach while in the pool. I let the teacher hold on to me. On Wednesday July 28th, we got to go to Aberdeen to Storybook Land. I really enjoyed it two years ago and I still love going there. Saturday night of July 31st we went to Reagan's dance recital. She is such a great dancer!!

Falls Overlook Park in Sioux Falls, SD

We went to Sioux Falls, SD on our way towards St. Charles, MO. We stopped there to have lunch and to walk around outside. It was really nice outside and I loved seeing the water.
