I'm a Big Sister!!

I spent the last week with my family in South Dakota.  I went to basketball games, fed the cows, made cookies, worked in the garden, decorated Christmas trees....it was so much fun.  Thanks everyone for making it a great week.

I was at Camp Dakota because mommy was in the hospital having a baby!!!  When I came back home, I finally got to meet my new baby broth Zack.

He is so tiny.  I can't believe that I was ever that little.  He may be small, but he can sure cry!
I just couldn't wait until I could hold him.  Grandma Judy made sure that I did it just right.

After I held him, it was grandma's turn.  I had to make sure she did it just right.

On Sunday, it was time for grandma and grandpa to go home.  I made sure to leave a few things up there so that I have an excuse to go see them again.

Sunday afternoon, Santa came to town!  We went to go see him and make sure that he knows how good I have been, or at least how good I can be :)

Thanks for checking out my blog,

Summer and Fall Roundup

As you can probably tell by not posting much lately, it has been pretty busy around here the past few months.  Let me show you what I have been up to.

Last time we talked, I mentioned that we were moving.  Good thing too, 'cause someone else bought our old house!

When we moved I thought I would get out of having to do chores, but they still put me to work!

It wasn't all work this summer though, I did get a few breaks to meet the other kids in neighborhood.

 I spent a lot of time outside this summer exploring....

I even managed to take in a baseball game with mommy and some of her friends.

 Why do they call it finger painting when it seems to get all over me???

Spending some girl time with cousin Kayla.

 While daddy was working on a project outside, I helped by reorganizing some of his tools.

 Me and mommy having an evening dinner outside.

One Saturday, Clifford the Big Red Dog was at the local library!
 
Whenever I would visit the library, I would always come back home and read to my animals.  They're such good listeners.

 The highlight of this fall was my birthday party!! It was a Tangled theme party.

 Look, I got new wheels!!!  Just wait until next summer, I'll be exploring all over the place!

 It was a great party, thanks everyone for coming.

After my birthday, Halloween was just around the corner and it was time to start working on those pumpkins.












One of the neighbors had their dad bring in a hay rack.  All of us kids got on and they drove us around to go Trick-or-Treating.  It was so much fun, I can't wait until next year.

BIG NEWS!!!!  Can you figure out what it is??

If you guessed that I am going to be a big sister, then you're right!

I'm so excited.  I told mommy and daddy that I can read to the baby and hold the baby and "teach the baby to jump high, like me".

I'm taking really good care of mommy and making sure that the baby is healthy.

Talk to you later, when I'm the big sister,
