Professional Photos

Claire and Alyza said I could do a post about their professional photos.
A few weeks ago - I had a friend who is a professional photographer take photographs of the girls. I love them and think they turned out great - so I am sharing a few of my favorites here.
The watermark is the name of the photographer - Just Clicked Photography.
This one just makes me smile thinking about them being sisters and always having a best friend. It almost looks like Claire is telling a secret and Alyza is listening intently.
I was not planning on being in any of the pictures, but I loved how this playful one turned out
If you want information on the photographer, just let me know.

Candy is Involved

On trick or treat night I was a very cooperative little girl and posed for pictures. I am no fool - I realized there was candy involved. I needed to be a good girl to assure that Mommy would take me to get my pumpkin filled with delicious treats. While we were at home I got one with Alyza.
Then right before we set out for candy we took one with Cousin Kylie. I got lots of candy, but trick or treat night for us was different from Cousin Brady and Joey. So a couple days later we went to their town to see them before trick or treat.
Since I had enough candy of my own, I helped Uncle Joe give the candy to trick or treaters from their house. I will probably still have leftover candy until next year, but I plan on doing my best to eat it all!

Sleepy Flower in a Pot

From what I hear, there is always a Halloween parade.
This year I was a flower so Daddy put me in a flower pot and I took a ride in the wagon.
Again, Claire wouldn't sit still to get a picture - she was a Bumble Bee.
Mommy had no trouble snapping a picture of me because I fell asleep about 30 seconds into the parade. Good thing I was in my wagon and had a mum for a pillow.
Hey, what's a girl to do - I need my sleep to grow big and strong.
They need to plan the parade around my nap time next year.

Cow Bingo

Daddy and Mommy took us to the Elks to see Cow Bingo. Not sure what it was, but I heard Mommy say it was a Fun Raiser. I know I got to hang out and look at two cows for a few hours so it raised my fun.
After the cow made a poop, everyone cheered like Mommy and Daddy do when I go on the potty. I guess she was a good cow. So I went over to pet her.
I wonder if she gets an American Girl Doll in New York City now too?

Saturday in the Park


All summer Daddy and Mommy took me and Claire to the park and I was always too little to go on the swings. Then one Saturday in the Fall it was nice and I got to try one out.
I loved it. Claire was there as well and she was on the swing next to me.
Now it is too cold so we have to wait until Spring to swing again. Not sure how long that is, but I hope it is Spring by next Saturday, whatever Saturday means.

Pumpkin Patch

In the fall we went to a pumpkin patch with Mommy and Stacie. It was my first time at a pumpkin patch. Claire has been there before so she knew about all the fun stuff that there was to do. First we took a Hay Ride out to the pumpkin patch.
Claire got to do a hay maze with Stacie. It looked like a lot of fun.
Next we put our faces in a horsie and a moo cow.
Then we went into the pumpkin patch to get some pictures. Claire wouldn't sit down for a picture and ran around picking up and throwing pumpkins. Again this looked like so much fun, but for some reason Mommy wasn't smiling.I sat and let Mommy take as many pictures as she wanted. Finally, Mommy did get Claire to sit down for a second to get one picture together.
I can't wait until next year when I can run around throw the pumpkins with Claire.
Mommy better wear sneakers!

Pony Rides

Daddy and Mommy surprised me with pony rides at my Happy Birthday Party. I was a little nervous so in true Big Sister fashion - I let Alyza take the first ride. She seemed to like it.
There was a crowd waiting to get on the ponies. I was polite and let everyone else test them out first. To be honest I was a 'ittle scared of them, so I wasn't going to get on them.
After everyone rode and Daddy and Mommy begged me to get on
I finally decided to try it out. Mommy put me on a pony with some help from Pop-Pop.
After my first loop - I gave it the thumbs up.
I'm not sure why I was scared.
After I tried it out - I actually didn't want to get off and even got on the other pony.
I was one happy girl! It was truly my Happy Birthday!

'Ponge Bob Birthday Party!


I kind of like 'Ponge Bob so I decided I want a 'Ponge Bob Birthday Party!
We were supposed to be able to swim, but it was too cold and rainy for that. Thankfully Mommy and Daddy had a surprise back-up plan. Before the party Kylie and I had a pre-party snack of Dorritos and Cheese Curls. Mom said it was okay, because it was my day and I could eat what I wanted.

It was a great party all of my 'ittle cousins and friends were there. I had a 'Ponge Bob cake. (There was a surprise too, but I'll talk about the Ponies 'ater).

Everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to me
I think Alyza wanted some cake.
Because it was yummy!

I had a great Birthday - I can't wait until next year!

Thank you everyone for making my Birthday special!

I Kind of Like Sprinkles

It's tradition for me and Mommy to make cupcakes for my birthday.
I got to use as many sprinkles as I wanted.
Alyza was happy to help.
When we were all done, Daddy lit some candles and we sang Happy Birthday.
It is great to be 3

'Chool

I had my first day of 'chool back in September. It was also my 3rd birthday, but we can talk about that later.
Mommy took lots of pictures of me and she only cried a 'ittle bit.
I was all smiles until I actually realized Mommy was leaving me at 'chool all by myself. I waved good bye from the waving window. I "cyed" a lot that day.
When the looooooooong day was over Daddy, Mommy and Alyza all came to pick me up.
Daddy helped me with my backpack for the quick getaway. Then we went out for some pizza for lunch - My favorite!

So in summary - getting ready for 'chool was fun, being at 'chool by myself not fun, but pizza following 'chool definitely fun.
