Fun at Ms. Caitlin's House

Today Mom and I paid Ms. Caitlin and Joseph and visit. It was so much fun!!!

I touched a real Christmas tree for the first time and played some fun games. As we drove up we checked to see if the TruGreen truck was parked outside her neighbor's house but instead we saw the UPS truck!

Here are a few moments that were captured:


Playing ball - my favorite game and she had me giggling so hard!


One of the few photos of Mom and me playing - she's usually behind the camera.

Thanks, Ms. Caitlin, for being such a wonderful friend to Mom and such a great hostess.

We always have a good time going over to your house!

Happy Birthday, Dad!!!

(Below: This is what Mom and I got Dad - we're planning on watching this space documentary together!)
Today is Dad's birthday!!!

What a nice time we had celebrating his special day. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, Grandma and Grandpa N will not be heading to Arizona, at least not for now. Since they are usually gone by now we rarely get to see them on Dad's birthday. They brought over Chinese food and a special huckleberry pie dessert for Dad. What a treat for all of us!!!

It was a special day for dad, having all of us together on his birthday. But also for me because I got to spend some time with my grandparents. Thanks for a great time, Grandma and Grandpa.

And Happy Birthday, Dad!!!

I love you! Thanks for being the best dad and taking care of me during the wee hours of the morning. Mom and I thank you for that and everything else you do, especially for changing all my stinky diapers!

Here are a few highlights from the evening:

While Dad was opening his Vandal blanket Mom was drinking from her BSU mug! Grandma and me in the background.

Patty cake with Grandpa - SO much fun!!!

"I just can't stay awake..."

On Thanksgiving day I woke up at 5:30 am. Because I was up so early it was difficult for me to stay awake through lunch. Mom documented the event since I was fast asleep. ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

Asleep in my high chair

Eating and sleeping at the same time!

Fashion This Week (Thursday, November 27, 2008)

Here is this week's fashion statement - a little late but Mom saved my new outfit for the holiday and then with our trip to the wedding she did not get to post it.

Outfit by Gymboree - T Rex on shirt and embroidered dinosaurs on my jeans. T Rex claws by Baby Gap - another eBay purchase.

Cousin Melissa's Wedding

This past weekend we traveled to Cousin Melissa's wedding up in McCall, Idaho. It was a great trip and she was a beautiful bride. Although, I was scared by her beautiful dress and cried when they were presented to the congregation because of the clapping. Remember my birthday video? I don't like clapping and cheering. Congratulations, Cousin!

Here are a couple of snaps from the event.

Scared by how beautiful the bride was - that's her with her now husband, Kent. Mom tried to get me to come closer but as you can see, this was about as close as I would get!

Since we were sitting at the very back of the chapel (to minimize distractions to the ceremony due to my T Rex screeches), we got to see the bride and father-of-the-bride (Uncle Doc) peeking out of the dressing room waiting for their cue to come out - this is my favorite shot!

With Grandma N - I'm wearing my coat because we were in the mountains and it was cold outside!

We made a little bit of a family vacation out of the trip. Here are some of those highlights:



Mom filled one of the drawers in the hotel room with my toys - it was sturdy enough for me to play inside - SO much fun!

Fun at Grandma and Grandpa's Cabin - look how high up I am!!! Taking this photo of me made Mom very nervous even though Dad was right by me the whole time. I fit in between those rails!

Reading in my forward facing car seat - I LOVE it!!!


We made a "quick" stop for lunch on the way back. I was getting a little impatient waiting for Dad to come back but I managed to stay distracted by calling his name. (Make sure your speakers are on!)

Then sleeping on the way home - so tired after so much fun! (Two and and half hour nap - I never do that at home!)

Mom and Dad picked me up at daycare school on my exact birthday - to the minute. Here are some photos from that moment...
