Train table anyone?



Well, Mommy finally did it and put our train table, trains and track up for sale on Craig's List. We have had lots of fun with it but it is time for it to find a new home with some other boys and/or girls who can enjoy it as much as we did.

Webkinz!!!


Mommy had to make a Webkinz "basket" for part of a silent auction that will be held this weekend to raise money for our school. The "basket" is really a child's pink folding chair. We received lots of compliments on it from Madison and Nicole who both LOVE Webkinz.

A magical night



Last week at our elementary school, there was this really cool magician who came and made it snow inside the cafeteria. The magician was funny and did lots of tricks like cutting off the principal's head and making a boy float in the air! We had a great time but I know that it really isn't magic - it's just an illusion. I learned that at one of my Mad Science classes!

A new friend from Indiana




A couple of weeks ago, our neighbor, Rexanne, had her daughter and granddaughter come for a visit. Gracie and Layla had a good time together and were so sweet. Here are some of the highlights of their first meeting.

Visitors from Iowa


Our Great Aunt Ann and Great Uncle Charlie came to visit us from Iowa. The last time I saw them, I was 18 months old and this was Adam and Gracie's first time to meet them.

Pinewood Derby


Daddy and I made a great car for Cub Scouts and the Pinewood Derby race. My car came in 2nd place several times. Here is Hagan, Tyler, Daniel and me. What a great way to spend a Saturday!

Gracie and her babies


Gracie thoroughly enjoys being a "Mommy" to all of her babies and dollies. She likes to carry them, change them and feed them. This baby in the picture was having lunch with Gracie because we all know how much babies love hot dog bites and bananas!

Happy Birthday Alex!




This morning when I woke up, I was ready for my birthday to be here. It was a great day and I got to open my presents from Mommy and Daddy. We went to dinner at Johnny Carino's in the evening and Gramma Esther and Grampa Jeff were able to come with us. Grandma Kitty and Grandpa Art even came by to wish me a Happy Birthday. It's really great to have my family so close!

An early birthday party






I will be 7 on January 9th. We had my birthday party a few days early though. I had a couple of my friends come over and spend the night. We had pizza and cake. Mommy made me a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and Hershey's kissables on it - just what I wanted. I think I'm going to like being 7!

Tired baby!


Playing at Jumping beans is hard work for a little girl. Good thing for naps in the car!

Happy Birthday Rosaleen!




We were able to celebrate Rosaleen's 3rd birthday with her at Jumping Beans - one of our FAVORITE places to go. We had a great time.

Oscar and Snoopy






We have some new family members and their names are Oscar and Snoopy. They are winter white dwarf hamsters. We got to adopt them from the pet store and name them all by ourselves. Adam's is Snoopy and mine is Oscar (named after the sharkslayer). They are getting used to their new cages and have been busy as little bees during the night time building their beds and getting comfortable. Oscar enjoys running on his wheel but Snoopy hasn't used his too much yet. I'm sure he will soon though.

Gracie and her presents



Gracie had more fun opening the presents and ripping the paper. Once she was all done ripping the paper, she was ready to move onto the next present and start ripping all over again. Once she opened her dollies though, she wanted those out of the package right away! She loves her dollies.
