My favorite pastime when Mommy is cooking......Do you need any help Mommy????

Aun't Chelle came out for some park time fun!!! She is sooo photogenic. Hmmm sounds like someone I know!!!!

EEERRRRR.......Rally Monkey didn't do jack squat for us this year!!!!! POOEY!!!!!

I have fun playing with my new next door neighbors Tori (3) and Marco (6). Aren't they sooo cute? They are super nice and I can't wait to play with them some more!!! Except Marco likes to collect bugs....YUCKY!!!! I'll stick closer to Tori!!!

Always fun in Susanville visiting Nana, Meemo, Papa, Uncle Dave, Aunt Debbie, Holly and Erica. I even got to hand out with my cousin Sabrina. We were a hit and totally diva singing on the Kareoke machine!!!

Sweet memories!!! On the way to visit Meemo and Papa, we stopped on memory lane....Nana's old house (my great grandmother). Across the street is an old creek where Daddy and his Grandpa Carl used to throw rocks in the creek and try to hit the light pole (I almost made it, I have a good right arm). Daddy said the creek used to seem so much bigger to him then....seemed gigantic to me!!!!

I just love visiting Bunz and Wenchie in Santa Rosa. They have such beautiful property and I love to explore and throw rocks!!! Mmmmm good, Wendy and I made homemade cookies for the first time!!!!! Mommy says we should buy stock in Famous Amos, Daddy has a "Coronary" any time the word stock is mentioned!!!! C'mon you worry warts!!! I finally can sit still long enough to enjoy a good book. I love pointing out all my favorite pictures and putting the name to them. I can say about 40 words now!!!!!

My first trip to CHUCKY CHEESE!!!!! Ha---Mommy said she hoped I never heard of it, but I think she had more fun than I did!!!! Hey, I thought I was taller than the vertically challenged mice, what's up with that??? My favorite was the Merry go Round (and round and round and round) Whew Horsey!!! I didn't like so much the moving cars, thank goodness Maddy was there to hold on to me!!!! Daddy, can I have a Sea Doo just like that one? Ppplease, ppplease, ppplllease????? (It works for Roger Rabbit)

Fun, fun, fun at the Martin's!!!!! Uncle Mike looks good, especially with us cutie pies surrounding him!!! Long day playing with Maddy, we were pooped out!!! Soaking with Maddy is just sudsy!!!! Hey, who's the baby around here???? Hangin with the girls, what could be better? NADA!!!!

Aren't we cutie patootie pink Raider fans??? Mommy is threatening to get out her Cowboy's jersey!!! Look out Jessica, I'm in love with Romo too!!!!

On the road again............just can't wait to get on the road again!!!!! (luv ya Willie!) Our annual trip to visit the friends and family in No. Cal!!!! Look, theirs Elmo!!!! He's so tickley!!!! I was good most of the time!!!!! (right!!!!)

Look how I can make Mommy chase me around the house in hystarics!!!!! Mommy says "NO COMMENT"!!!!!

After Abby's party, we went to her Gee-Ma's (my Aunt Gee-Ma) to visit some more!!! I helped Abby open her presents!!!! I tormented Felini (he is such a good sport)!!! I finally got a good picture with Aunt Christine (with her makeup on)!!!! I just love visiting my friends, I get such good smooches!!!!

WHHHOOO HOOOO!!!!! What fun!!! My fellow Petite Ya-Ya, Abby turned a whoppin' ten years old!!!! I had such fun at her bowling party. Forget the bowling, I had my first WHOLE piece of pizza and cake!!!! Hangin' with my pal, the Petite Yo-Yo, Jack was a blast!!!! His Mom Kirsten and Paul are about to have another Petite Ya-Ya Katie in less than a month now!!!! I can't wait to meet her.....and not be the youngest!!!!!

Mommy is just beside herself!!!! I'm officially a TODDLER!!!! I climbed out of my crib, shimmied on down without falling (big girl that I am)!!! The rest of the world stopped and my room was transformed.......Full on baby proofin' goin' on!!!! Or should we say TODDLER PROOF??? My crib is now a toddler bed (I can't wait for the big girl bed)!!! They secured the furniture to the wall with these amazing earthquake straps!!!! Those of ya'll in the South and East don't know what I'm talkin' about do ya'll??? For some reason my Mommy and Daddy think I will try and climb up the furniture like a monkey!!! Wait, I just remembered, I do!!!!! The first night trying out my toddler bed, I was found sleeping on the floor next to my bedroom door....aaahhhhhh!!!!! Somehow, miraculously, when I woke up the next morning, I was in my toddler bed!!!!! Hmmmm, how did that happen??? Is there a Mommy Fairy out there looking over me???? Thanks Mama B and Grandpa Phil for making my room more secure!!!!

Summertime fun with Mama B and Grandpa Phil.......what a treat!!!!!

Helping Daddy in the yard......okay, taking a break!!!!!! No, Mommy, I'm not going to stand on the chair.....why on Earth would I do something like that???? Don't even ask Daddy about that slope!!!!!
