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.

Notre Dame Wins!

After all the fun outside the game we got to go to the baseball - I mean football game to see Nore Dame play Nevada. Those cheerleaders were there so I got into the action myself.

Alyza Loved the band. She was smiling away with Grammy when they played the fight song in our section.

Then we got a picture with Grammy and Pop pop. We are so lucky that they took us on our trip. Thank you so much Grammy and Pop pop.

Mommy said we were really good kids in the game. She kept trying to get a good picture, but apparently we were not being cooperative.
We had an awesome time and Nore Dame won!

Thanks again Grammy and Pop pop - can't wait til the next trip!

Go Nore Dame!

When we were at Nore Dame, we stayed near our van for a long time.

Alyza even took a nap.

Mommy called it tailgating - I didn't see tails or gates. Mommy must have got it wrong, because I saw a lot of other things. We saw cheerleaders and the Leprechaun.

The guys just hanging out.

Some guys playing with pipes and bags.

And this was all before we even got inside the stadium!

My First Pep Rally

A few weeks ago we made the Pilgrimage to Notre Dame. It was my first trip and we were in an RV for about 12 hours with Mommy, Claire, Grammy, Pop-Pop, Uncle Joe, Aunt Shell, Aunt Angie, Joey and Brady. We slept most of the time. So it went pretty well. Our first day there we went to my first pep rally.

My Mommy held me.

Claire had the best view in the place on Pop-pop's shoulders.

I couldn't see much, so Aunt Shell saved me from the carrier. I was wearing my shamrock dress for the festivites.

I can't wait until we go again!
