4 Years, 2 Months...Easter fun!

Believe it or not, we had another snow storm at the end of March! Mommy and I went early to her hometown for some events since it was her spring break, and ended up getting stuck there! We were able to dye Easter eggs with Grandma Kathy, and throw the dye out in the snow! We also got to have lunch with Papa Ron for his birthday. I had 5 Easter egg hunts this year-at my preschool, at a Church, at Papa Ron and Nana Carol's, at Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom's, and at Nana Arden and Papa Rodney's house! I told mommy and daddy, "If the Easter Bunny ran out of places to hide the eggs, I will help him." Papa Rick and Nana Peggy were also in town this month. We had a lot of fun with them. They came to visit us and we went out to eat a couple of times. They gave me a guitar which I love to "rock out" on!
I told mommy, "I asked God and Jesus and heaven to make you my mommy." I think I saw her heart melt! I am now able to write my first and last name, and love learning my letters. I was really happy to go back to school after Easter to see my friends. I got my pictures taken at school too. I saw a pirate movie with my friend Brynn. We got a new roof on our house and went out for donuts that morning because it was too loud!
I also rode my bike for the first time. I did pretty good, but was scared when it went too fast. I tipped over and had my first bike "wreck", but survived! No blood was shed!
I love to sing songs on the radio. Here is my latest: "Bring me the cheek boys, bringing my sword, gonna get lost until I rock and roll." That is "Drift Away" for those who weren't sure!
Next month: MOVING!

4 Years, 1 Month...Snow many exciting things!

This month was kind of strange. We had 2 huge snow storms, each about 12 inches! We got to have 4 snow days together. It was a lot of fun, but we almost ran out of things to do! I ended up getting sick at the end of those days with a slight fever and cough. I didn't let it hold me down!
When I went back to pre-school, I got a little excited playing and started screaming really loud! I got sent to time-out for not using my indoor voice. The next weekend I had 2 play dates (and threw fits at both of them!) I went to a Mizzou gymnastics meet with mommy and Carrie and Carrie's mommy. The next day, I went to see Ice Age 4 with mommy and Brynn and Brynn's mommy. Now, I like to pretend that I am a gymnast named Maddie and do floor routines in our living room. Daddy is the "conductor" and mommy is the fan who has to yell, "Maddie!", but Maddie ignores her. I also got to go to McTeacher Night for mommy's school and then to the Sock Hop at mommy's school. At first I didn't want to wear a poodle skirt, because I wanted to wear a "horsie skirt", but then I thought it was cool. I loved doing the limbo! I was really into St. Patrick's Day and wanted to catch a leprechaun. I set 5 traps, but didn't catch one. He did get into all the shiny treasures and knocked them over, and even peed green in my toilet, but I never got to see him. Oh yeah, mommy and daddy told me that we sold our house and are moving into a new one with a basement! I really liked it and can't wait to have more room to play!

4 Years Old...My Birthday!

Well, I am now 4 years old! When I grow up, I want to be a cheerleader and a big sister. I have gone to a couple of basketball games this month for my daddy's school and I love to watch the cheerleaders! I have also been sick a couple of times this month. Once, with a 104 degree temperature (antibiotics for the first time) and another time with my first (mild) ear infection (drops for that.) I got mommy and daddy sick too and apologized. I tried to be a big helper when they were sick by "straightening up the house." I'm ready for it to be spring.
I have said a lot of funny things lately. I said, "taxis drive things to places...like ice cream, panda bears, snakes...", "I can run faster than a duck on a bike", the "Natiomal Hanthem" (National Anthem) and I like to read the "vible" (Bible). I woke up screaming with my ear infection and said "it hurts inside my head." I had never felt that before.
Mommy and daddy are looking at buying a new house and I am starting to understand that process. I always want to know if a place has an "open sale" (open house.) They also bought me my first bike for my birthday. I did a pretty good job riding it for the first time in the store. I went to mommy's school for Reading is Fun night and had so much fun! I can't wait to go there! I have also had 4 dry diapers this month! I am growing up so much!
I went to my great-aunt's funeral this month too. I am really starting to understand that, but it was hard to see people I love crying. I had a visit from Auntie Heather, Uncle Sean, Ashley, and Ian and we got to go to the park. We also went to their house for Ian's birthday, and they came to our house for my birthday party!
I had two My Little Pony birthday parties. The first one was a joint party with my friend Bella (whose birthday is the day before mine) at Flipz for my preschool friends. It was so much fun. There were 21 kids there! Then, we went home for my family birthday party. It was the best day!
