Let's Back Up a Little

I turned 4!  I know it's been a while since I have written.  Since Leah's birthday to be clear.  My birthday party was at our house.

 Most all my friends from school came to my party.

 We hung around the play room.

 Raced down the steps.

 I had four candles on my cake!

 Everyone helped me blow them out.

Even Leah was in on some birthday party hat action!

After everyone left, my friends Finley and Brielle stayed for dinner and a second helping of birthday cake!  Yum!

Check out my birthday video!  Yes, it will make you dizzy...we are four year olds after all!

What's New? Leah's Two!

Saturday we had Leah's birthday party.  It was a fun party!  There was a bounce house (thanks to our neighbors:)

 And a hayride...or three!

 Leah had fun!  And, yes, that is broccoli in her hand.  Nice snack, Leah.  Mommy must have you brainwashed.

This is Robert.  He is one of Leah's potential future husband. His mommy couldn't come on the hayride because she is having a baby in three weeks.  

 This is Daddy, also known as farmer Chris.

He took us faaaar away from our house.

And brought us to see the cows next door.

They actually came running to the fence!  What fun!

This is baby Addy.  She is at the daycare Leah goes too.  She is Miss Amanda's daughter that Leah dotes on all day.  She looks less that thrilled when her daddy put her in the hay.

Here's Robert again having fun with the balloons.

 And here is Leah giving him a hug.  A far cry from her party last year when she tried to bite his hand off because he had food in it.

Then came my favorite part...CAKE!

We sang, she blew out the candles...

 and we ate!

Yum!

Look, Mom, No Training Wheels!

So today Daddy took Leah and I to his bike race while Mommy went shopping by herself.  For some reason Mommy likes to do that.  Anyway, one of Daddy's friend, Mr. Tom, gave me a new (to me) red and black bike.  If you recall, I already have a pink bike.  But the black and red bike has something the pink bike doesn't...PEDALS!

 And while Daddy was racing, his friend Mr. Randy taught me how to ride it.

 Check it out, NO TRAINING WHEELS!  I don't need them.

 And I'm almost as fast as Daddy!

 For some reason, Mommy sees lots of ER visits in my future!

Trick or Treat!

We got dressed up in our costumes the other night.  Mommy took us to her work for some trick or treating.

 It was really easy to get some candy.  You just said "Trick or treat!" and then these nice people give you some candy and then you say "Thank you!"

 Leah says something like "Tic a tic!" and then she says "Ank too".  If you are paying attention, you can get what she is trying to say.

 I posed with some of Mommy's friends.

 Leah was too busy counting up her lollipops, which she calls "poppops" by the way.

 Here are all the kids that went trick or treating.  It was fun and we didn't get rained on since we were inside!

Now, if I could just figure out where Mommy hid the candy...

Pumpkins Painting Pumpkins!

Last week we went to Jumbo's Pumpkin Patch.  After we sailed through the corn maze, we picked out pumpkins.  Leah and I decided to paint ours.

 Leah starts out all smiles and giggles.

 Then she starts sneaking some paint to see if it is tasty.

 She would only paint one side of her pumpkin too!

 I painted the whole thing.

 I loved mixing all the colors!

 Leah kept working between eating paint and one side of her pumpkin.

 I decided the paint would make a yummy lipstick.

 Do you like Leah's beard?

 At least she is happy...maybe its from the paint.

Happy Halloween!

Country Livin'

One of the best part of living in the country is that I get to see animals everywhere, everyday.  I can even see cows from my bedroom window!  Mommy and Daddy take us to a place called South Mountain Creamery.  There's tons to see and do...and they have ice cream!

 We climb on tractors!

Leah would make a great farmer, don't ya think?!?

This tractor seat with the holes is cool!

We saw calves!

Hogs.

Chickens.

Goats.

My favorite part is when we get to feed the calves.

Leah was not feeling so hot that day.

Those calves suck that milk down fast!

When they are done they are looking for more!

I love the country!
