painting my camera (and making faces)
daddy and i made a camera out of a block of wood for me (yeah, i'm an easy audience, still). i was going to paint it silver like his camera but then i saw the can of pink paint... coolness! so tonight i painted my camera pink all by myself, should be dry by tomorrow morning!

go patriots!

the somerset patriots, that is! mommy and daddy's financial advisors invited us down to a minor league baseball game tonight. pretty cool, we saw their mascots walking around (i was afraid of them both), we talked to the players, and, oh yeah, we ate. burgers, hot dogs, i totally mowe'd the grub.

cow ride
ok, um, awesome... maggie and i took a few loops on the cow ride, these giant oil cans converted into cows, with wheels! oh what fun... i LOVE rides! someone tried to tell me i wasn't awesome, i was like "whatever".

takin' pitchers!
ok, so mommy and daddy have a lot of cameras. uncle timmy has a lot too. mommy and daddy gave aunt calorin a bag that holds nothin' but cameras. i want IN on this "camera" thing. yesterday i used a block of wood, today i upgraded, daddy and i made one out of legos. "click!"

my bestest pal magoo!
she's the best! we went up to plymouth this weekend and sunday we even got to go out on the boat! yeah, a huge boat, with a big motor and stuff. maggie's daddy ethan drove the boat all the way to a restaurant, and on the way home daddy and ethan jumped out of the boat and went swimming... the water was cold! tho.

first day!
well, not me, it's mommy's first day at her new job! so to make her feel good, we took a picture together. she's gonna do so awesome, i hope she enjoys it!

big sis to-be
mommy and daddy told me big news this week... that mommy has a baby in her tummy and soon (sort of) i will be a big sister! i have embraced this news as i do with anything. love having fun having a "baby in my belly" myself! mommy said something about being sick and exhausted all the time tho, i dunno about that, i feel pretty good.

road trip!
these days mommy's been pretty tuckered out. and me too. so we tend to grab a little snoozie whenever the opportunity presents itself.

shirts of solidarity
or something like that. ok, so karma from a couple "eff you" TD's last season came back to bit my boy Brady in the behind. and he's now going to be watching the season from the sidelines (or his recliner). not cool. but we're strong and so are our pats... we're shooting for 12 wins, hoping for 10, but bottom line is let's beat the stinking J-E-T-S sunday!

First Day of School!

Today was my first day at my new school and I was so excited! Last night I picked out a special, new dress and Mommy gave me a new monkey backpack! This morning I got up early and got all ready, and even did my hair all by myself and put in 3 clips! When I got to school, I played dollies with my new teacher and waved bye bye to Mommy and Daddy, with a BIG smile on my face! I am going to love my new school!

the band!
ok, i know it's not totally normal, but once or twice a week, the local marching band comes around practicing right in front of our house! yeah, like we're cleaning the van and i hear "thump thump" of the base drum.... and trumpets coming from down the street "the marching band mommy! the marching band!"

my last day at school
some tears were shed, and it's gonna be tough to move on, but i'm looking forward to my new school. i will miss my friends, but also make new ones... and the cool part... i got gifts and they had a party for me!

practice
i'm doin' pretty good with my swing. i hit the tee a lot but i tag the ball pretty good sometimes too. and i really have the swing down.

First Ballgame - a Day at Yankee Stadium!




What a day for a ballgame, and lots of action! I had so much fun cheering and peeling peanuts with Gegee, Poppy, Daddy and Mommy! I got myself a Yankee lunchbox and the Yanks won... what more could a girl ask for?!!! (editors note: daddy didn't cheer. he ate peanuts yes. cheering, no.)

my first wedding
this was one of mommy's cousins... it was pretty awesome. i've been playing wedding a lot lately. i have been married like seven times. it's so much fun i want to get married again. this is a picture of daddy and i after the wedding. i was hungry so he bought me some nutter butters.

school princess
daddy comes to pick me up from school and i didn't wanna go home... i'm a princess daddy! the best part was andrew. he was a princess too (see him on the left side in the background). he had on a football jersey, but i'm not sure that countered his ballerina skirt.

haircut
yup, my third haircut ever. mommy took me today to go get my locks clipped... then i sat in my favorite photo spot with my hair nicely combed... all purty.

big jeff
nope, not my daddy, he's not big. but the singer, big jeff, was at grace lord park tonight at the bottom of the hill. this is me (and other kids) wiggling like a worm on the ground... fun!

i heart madeline!
lived in a house covered with vines, she was the smallest one, her name was madeline! i have a bunch of dolls and it's my favorite book right now.
