It's not easy being green...

Has anyone seen my green crayon??? Oh, that's right.....Obi ate it.

Pretty day.....

Since I've been sick, I've been trapped inside the house. This is the tree outside of my window. It might be hard to tell, but the tree has a pretty ice layer.

See, winter can be pretty! Just a few inches of snow on the ground right now...

My sick chair. Got my tea party and kleenex!

Balancing my pretend cookies (handmade by Aunt Coco!) and serving Mom food.

Even when I'm not feeling great I manage to stay pretty happy!

Blah!

Just saw it's been 9 days since my last post.....getting very negligent. It was a busy weekend, I took a trip with Mom and Dad to Cleveland and Columbus. Pictures to follow....may have contracted a bug from the Daniels family. Dad is definitely down for the count, I'm sick, and Mom is undecided.

I leave you with this cute picture from December 2010. I thought I looked fabulous!

Snow, Superbowl, and Birthday Parties!

Last Saturday Mom went to work and was really surprised to come out and have 5 inches of snow on her car. I've been tracking the snow's progress and this is the first time the fire pit ring has been completely covered!

Lots of snow on the ground!

Dad had to shovel off the steps so Obi could get out of the house. I liked watching him hop like a bunny through the snow!

Handsome snow puppy.

I've been very attached to my puppy this last week. I like to sleep with him (Mom gives him a kiss before I go to sleep) and just recently I discovered that he likes chocolate bunny crackers!
Last Sunday was the big Super Bowl party at my friend's house. This was Matthew and Madeline's house and they let me play with their tea set.

I was sleeping hard. Sometimes Obi does the dirty work and comes to wake me up!

Mom and Dad were feeling generous.....this is my first happy meal. Chicken nuggets which I loved dipping in ketchup and apple slices. The slices were very yummy because they came with caramel dipping sauce.

I really needed a bath that night! It's been a messy eating week, spaghetti too :)

Dad came in with this present for Mom. It was a huge icicle from our front. Mom threw it like a javelin and I was impressed by her distance!
Aunt Coco sent me a wonderful new book and homemade (play) cookies! I was impressed with how great the cookies looked and have already read my book tons.
Today was Lindsey's birthday party! It was at a hall in Point Place and everyone had a great time running around. There were lots of kids under the age of 5.....and we kept each other entertained.
Lindsey in her birthday wheels. She was generous and all of the kids got rides. I have to thank Ian and Ava for pushing me all around!

Macie and I spent some time playing in the tent.

I was interested in all of the presents. I kind of wanted to help Lindsey open some of them, but I had a water and cake pop and watched her open most of them.

Lindsey's pretty winter cake made by her mom.

Once Lindsey got started she did a good job of eating her cake.

I was up early today, 6:30, and didn't nap at all. This is me on the ride home at 5 PM. I fell asleep holding my balloon. When Mom got me in the house the first thing I asked for was my balloons!
It was a busy day.....tomorrow we are going to celebrate Valentine's Day early! I want to help Mom and Dad make homemade pasta and red velvet cupcakes. Can't wait!!

One year ago today...

Just thought it would be fun to see how much I've changed! I found this picture on Dad's cell phone :)

Snowtropolis!

It's been a cold and snowy week! Here's some highlights...

These are my PJs from Grandma and Grandpa Jackson. I was hitching my socks up high and when I got Mom's phone I tried to take her picture!

I've been working on my ponytail. It's coming together nicely!

Tuesday night was the big snow fall. Dad went out and cleared the driveway that night so Mom could get up and go to work.
It was a level 3 emergency, so the roads were very clear for Mom's drive in. She was surprised at how many people made it in for their surgeries.

Dad had to clear some drifts away from the back door so Obi could go out to play!

The driveway before the next round of snowblowing.

Obi declared it a lazy day.

Mom was looking forward to having today off with me. It was a girls morning! Here I was reading before we headed out.
Mom and I went to the Carter's outlet and shopped like crazy! It seems like someone shrunk all my old clothes and now I need a 24 month or 2 T. I liked helping Mom look and made some executive decisions on the clothes. I especially liked the butterfly pants (on the right, tan/pink/white). We were really good bargain shoppers and got everything for $62 bucks!
Then Mom and I had lunch at Panera's and I decided I was having so much fun that I didn't even need a nap today! It was a busy day and I was ready for bed when Dad put me down tonight...

Vegas Vacation - Part 2

So now that you saw Mom and Dad's side.......here's a little taste of my week with Grandpa and Grandma in town!
I ate really well for them. Mac and cheese is always a good stand by. I think my favorites though were the spaghetti and chocolate ice cream! Grandma told Mom and Dad that I did my best to lick the bowl clean!

Plenty of outings and drives around the area. Hit the mall to walk around and did some window shopping.

Practiced on my phone so I'd be ready when Mom and Dad called from Vegas.

It snowed some and gave Grandpa and Grandma a taste of Ohio winter. I got to watch Grandpa use the snow blower from the window.

Had some arts and crafts time with Grandma (when I wasn't dancing!).

Plenty of reading!

Even made it to the library for story time. The Sylvania library is really busy, but this group at the Holland library was only 5 kids!!

Grandma did a good job punking up my hair!

Grandpa bought me a new toy. It's a leaptop and it lets me learn about letters, animals and play music! It knows my name and has emails personalized to me from Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Coco!

I got a welcome home balloon for Mom and Dad. The funny thing was that it had a hole in it and had to be patched before they got home. It still floated.....kind of!

Apparently I have really long arms. I have been raiding my book shelves during nap time!

More dancing! I took a turn with everyone! Enjoying my tent. You should have seen it when I had Mom, Dad and me in there all at the same time!

Wow, I look tall! Sunday with Grandma and Grandpa before the airport run.

Back with Mom and Dad again! I'm glad they had a good trip and I had a great time with Grandpa and Grandma!!!
