breadmaking with grampa!
last friday grampa came down to spend the day with me. grampa is kind of a wiz at breadmaking, he can make all kinds of bread and stuff. he offered to shed some of his wizdom on me, how could i say no? mommy and daddy were pretty psyched to come home and have to fresh-baked loaves of bread too... nice.

getting toys
despite all the shelves and crates and stuff mommy and daddy use to sort my toys, sometimes there's no way to get the good ones without diving in. if you look close, you can also see the toyota mini van keys I used to open the chest still in the keyhole.

my rolling pin coat rack
daddy whipped this bad boy up for me as part of my room re-model. this is sort of a sneak peek as the room is still "in-progress".

swinging
this is jaden and i swinging. on swings, duh... daddy says that if I'm swinging, he hopes there's always a swing and a town park involved in the future

crazy bathing beauty!
(in an adam sandler voice) "I'm crazy pail-head girl! I'm crazy and i have a pail on my head! Gimmee some candy!" (if you don't know sandler from SNL you won't understand that reference, sorry)

bathing beauties
just chillin' on the lounge chairs here at the pool. ahh... mommy also tried to get in some reading. me? not so much.

airplane ride!
i've been on an airplane before, but i don't really remember it. we got up at 4am this morning so we could catch an early flight to florida. i was such a good girl, and so excited to be on a plane. i was all fired up, i loved looking out the window, and i really enjoyed the takeoff. i enjoyed it all so much, really, that i was asleep ten minutes after takeoff... zzz...

ballet queen
i'm starting to enjoy dress-up, and also starting to enjoy ballet and dancing too... really fun. daddy and i stand on one foot and put the other foot in the air just like ballerinas. daddy isn't such a good ballerina, but he tries.

baby evan
finally! i got to go see baby evan. what a cutie... dude has his father's appetite, eats all the time. i didn't really get to hold him, but i noticed that baby evan has no teeth.

boots
uncle greggie gave me these kick-a$$ boots... he probably doesn't even realize how often i wear them, especially lately, i keep asking for them. and daddy loves this outfit, he's such a sucker for chicks in argyle.

future triathlete
got me cool-a$$ shirt, got my water bottle, and dad said i would need at least one "gu" today for my first triathlon... three events, roller coaster, playing with dollies, then for the big finale, i ate more snackies...

never-ending roller coaster fun...
"I love my roller coaster!" is what i like to yell... it's great... i roll all the way from the front of the house to the back, across the dining room, sometimes i even make it to the kitchen. and i love taking mommy and daddy for rides...

daddy's birthday burrito
who needs cake when you have beans and rice and chicken?

fun with uncle chris and auntie alli
chris and i clearly enjoying the image of auntie alli up-ended in the cardboard box from my roller-coaster...

matching chefs
check us out... daddy got mommy and i both the same aprons... wait a second, is he just trying to keep us in the kitchen to make him more food?

dr. gabi, general hospital
i know doctors wear glasses, but come on, what's with these mr. magoo specs they included in my doctor kit? doctors don't wear these things...
