Back...

Mommy was home sick for a while... you would think that she would have posted stuff but apparently she was lazy while at home.  She's better now... so we're back!!  You've missed out on a lot - many visitors, Auntie Rhian, G'pa Ken & G'ma Aileen, G'pa Jim & Nanna Lynn, pumpkin picking, apple picking, work on a new fence, and most importantly Disney on Ice!!

I'm sure we'll eventually catch you up on some or most of this stuff... but first the most important... girl's night at Disney on Ice!! My friend Maddie from school and her mom invited us to go out to see princesses skating on ice! We got dressed up like princesses and got to eat lots of treats!  It was a great night out!!

Auntie Rhian

We love when you visit!! Come back soon. 

Apple Harvest

A yummy treat... APPLES! First we met the farm animals.  We got to feed the cow.  Check out the cow's TONGUE!!

It liked my flowers the best.

Then to the apples. The ones on top are the yummiest!!

 

Best ride in town. 

 Its even better when the bucket is full of apples!!

We finished off the day playing on tractor tires. Only on the farm!!

Great Sunday

Auntie Rhian is visiting us for a week while she raids the Smithsonian coral collections. She came in a couple of days early to hang out with us. Mommy dragged all of us to a picnic for her new work yesterday. It was okay.

Today was much better... a wonderful Sunday.

We headed downtown and hung out at the US Botanical Gardens. Davin and I got soaking wet in their Children's Garden.  It was the very first time it was actually open.  It was worth the wait -- I planted a coleus in the garden all by myself and then watered it with water I pumped into the watering can. Davin took the dip the can approach which was effective but not nearly as much fun... and much messier. By the time we left, we were drenched from head to toe.  It must have been fun!!

Mommy and I had to leave early to go to a birthday party.  Mommy messed up and went to the wrong kids' gym... we eventually got there. I missed most of the running around and playing but I got to eat pizza and cake.... and I got to take home one of the balloons (and one for Davin)!!

After I got home, my neighbor Maddie came over to play until dinner time.

Then... to top it off... after dinner, we had a camp fire and roasted marshmallows.  Yum, s'mores!! A great end to a great day.  I can't wait until next weekend!!

Reptiles, Tigers, Race Cars and Elephants, Oh My!!

We went to our first fair with G'ma Lily and G'pa Will. It was AWESOME!  We got to do some much fun stuff.  We started by buying a couple pretty rocks and then got to pet a croc!

 

Then Davin tamed a tiger.  The tiger tried to get Daddy but Davin got it under control quickly.

 I got to ride a beautiful girl horse... but Mommy didn't any good pictures of me

 Then Grandpa Will let use each got on another ride of our choice!  Davin chose the race cars with Mommy.

I chose the Dumbos with Grandma.  Next time I'll go with Grandpa.

 We can FLY!!

It was a great day... and it wasn't over yet... that was just the morning.

Road tripin'

ROAD TRIP!!  We checked out Point Reyes and picked up a bunch of oysters for a feast the next day with Auntie Ea and Uncle Jesse.  (Cousin Dylan wasn't allowed to eat any oysters... I ate his share ... plus some more. Yum!)

 Beautiful (foggy) beaches.

 Super yummy lunch on the back of the car looking out over the bay. Great impromptu picnic.

Hanging out at the Cowgirl Creamery before chowing down on some delish ice cream.  Davin got covered in chocolate!! Overall a great day and mini road trip!

California Cousins!

Mommy had to go to Cali for work earlier this month.  We all got to tag along and meet our new Cousin Dylan!  Another D to add to the list. We had a ton of fun hanging out with the fam. 

 Daddy and Dylan bonded quickly.

I took my time getting to know Dylan and waited patiently to be able to hold him all by myself.

 

Oh NO!!

 

Baby Dylan.  Davin still wanted to be the cute baby... he is cute though.

 

 We went to the beach... I hated it... it was COLD!!  Mommy's right... for the beach... Southern California is way better.

 Davin didn't mind though.  

So we headed to the woods to warm up a little. 

 

Big tree... big tree!!

End of school

I think this catches us up with June... where did the summer go? Its almost time to go back to school!!

Mommy and Davin came to my end of school celebration. Daddy was out of town for work.
My class and I performed the book "Where is My Mother?" in spanish.  I was a sheep. After the show, we had a big potluck and then I played (aka ran around like a crazy girl) with my friends.

Luke's birthday

More catch up from June...

We had a mini vacation up in New Jersey.  First we went to Luke's AWESOME firetruck birthday party. We got to go in the firetruck and even hold the firehose!!  Lots of water and lots of fun.  I think Daddy had the most fun out of us all though.  He did the firehose twice. The firemen raced to put on their clothes and showed use their helmets and gas masks.  Spooky... but not really. They're there to help us!!  THANKS to the firemen and to Luke for inviting us!!
