Where to Begin?!

Ok - it has been ages! And I'm really sorry about that!! But we have been REALLY busy...I'll try to recap as quickly as possible. We kicked summer off with a really great trip to Holland/Grand Haven with the Aubry family. I got to see lots of tulips and had so much fun hanging out with Ashlyn...thanks again Aubry's!!







Then things started to get really crazy and I got a NEW HOUSE. This has been a pretty big deal but overall I love my new house, especially my new room - I got lots of fun, cozy bedding and it's pretty and pink. We're still unpacking a bit but I'm sure I'm going to like it here...

Some Kids Get an Easter Bonnet...

My mommy on the other hand took an alternate route:


All kidding aside - HAPPY EASTER!! I had a wonderful, long holiday weekend that started off with a super fun Easter party with all my gal pals. Sophia's mommy and daddy hosted another wonderful party for all of us, complete with bunny ears and an Easter egg hunt. I loved looking for eggs and was especially delighted to learn they had treats inside of them!! Thank you so much Karras family, we had a fantastic time!!




Then we went to visit the Easter Bunny. I thought this sounded like a fantastic idea, but unfortunately I wasn't given enough time to "warm up" to the giant rabbit so the whole visit ended rather poorly. Luckily, there was a smaller, more stationary, less real bunny close by so we took some pictures there too.






When we got to my grammy Debbie's house, she had all the Easter eggs ready to be decorated. I liked this activity but didn't understand why I couldn't drink the colors?! I had a fun time decorating my arm though and the eggs turned out ok...they looked alot better after I added some "stickies" to them.

Finally, after all this fun celebration the big day arrived! I had a wonderful time at Grammy and Nonno Gio's house for Easter. Just about everyone was there, my Aunt J, Grammy and Grandpa Kucab, Great-Grammy and Grandpa Kucab, Aunt Jill and Uncle Mike. We went to church and had an Easter feast. I got to show off my egg hunting skills and was able to sample lots of new "treats". Thanks to all my loving Easter "bunnies" my baskets were fantastic!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Yesterday was my daddy's birthday and mommy and I did lots of special things for him. We made a cake (mommy's first ever), a homemade card and I impressed both mom and dad by not only being able to say "Happy Birthday To You Daddy" but I also did a pretty decent job humming/singing the Happy Birthday song. It was a great day, I especially loved the cake!


Go State!

As most of you know, my daddy's favorite team did very well in the tournament this year. There was a big pep rally at the mall (as though it wasn't already the greatest place on earth) and my crew and I went to celebrate - it was lots of fun! Much to dad's delight I have mastered saying "GO WHITE" whenever I see something with Sparty on it or someone says "Go Green." I think that is definetely where I want to go to college.

First "Official" Hair Cut

Well a very fun thing happened this week! I went to the "salon" for the first time!! I was very excited because mommy told me there would be some boats there that I could play in. However, once we arrived there was also a strange lady that wanted to keep touching my hair with her shiny scissors. I wasn't sure I liked this so much so I stayed on mom's lap until it was over. Then I got to play in the boat and I got my first sucker ever - it was great!! Not to mention that mom and I got to go shopping afterwards - mom says that's one of the best days ever - salon AND shopping. I am becoming a very good shopper and really enjoy making wishes at the water fountains and carrying all our purchases. Mommy took lots of pictures of me on this day to capture my new do...Enjoy!

These pics were too good not to post - please excuse the bizarre wardrobe - we were in the process of derobing for tubby time....

The Most Magical Place on Earth....

Ok, ok, I've heard through the grapevine that the fans are restless for some new blog posts. Who takes pictures in January?! Plus, mommy and I were sick off and on for most of the month so there wasn't a whole lot of exciting news to report. HOWEVER, you are in luck! I just came back from my first family vacation and it was SUPER FANTASTIC. Mommy, daddy and I went to Orlando, FL. I went "up and down" in the plane and sat in my own seat like a big girl! Here are the highlights from our trip:

Days 1 & 2:

We stayed at a beautiful resort with amazing pools and lots of family activities. Unfortunately, our first few days were a little colder than expected. Not a problem though, we found some indoor fun called Monkey Joe's that had some fantastic bouncy things - my favorite was the HUGE slide - check out my video!! Lucky for me, my friend Ashlyn was there too with her mommy, aunt and cousins so we all got to play together. Then we bundled up and went to downtown Disney to get our first taste of all the magic...I LOVED the princesses....It was so much fun to give them "kisses" and when I couldn't get this close I would blow them kisses from afar....

Aren't I a gutsy one - this was GREAT!!

Day 3
This was an amazing day! We went to the Magical Kingdom and had the best time. Just as we got there all the characters were performing on stage and I could have watched them all day long! I saw all my favorites and the beautiful castle. Then we went on the carousal, in the Small World boat, on the teacups, played in Poohland, flew with Dumbo....It was all INCREDIBLE. But the best part was when I got my very own Minnie T-shirt...I was soooo excited!

Days 4, 5 & 6

Well, the weather finally started to warm up and if anyone knows my mommy, you know we were not about to miss a drop of sunshine! We had a great time the rest of our trip playing in the pool. Ashlyn, Tyler and baby Miles came over to play too - it was the best!
