THANK YOU everyone…i had a wonderful birthday!

yesterday i became a 4-year-old!  i had a great birthday with many wonderful phone calls from family and friends who couldn’t be here, a super day at school with mini ice cream sandwiches, and a great party at home with friends!  the weather was in the 50s and rainy so we had to stay inside and play, but daddy was a trooper and grilled us cheeseburgers and hot dogs and we had baked beans from the good ol’ crock pot!  our kitchen is still under construction, but the party was still a success!  

  

mommy and i frosted my cake with green frosting so it would look like a lily pad!  i got two servings of ice cream and i ate it so fast that mommy didn’t even get a picture of me eating it!    

i got many nice gifts, many of them are something that has a frog on it!  i got a frog backpack, plate, towel, coin purse, blanket, slippers, pajamas, shirt and beanie baby.  other fun gifts were a birthday party set, which i opened first thing this morning, dress up clothes and shoes, an isabel bloom ballerina, “bagician” cape with mariposas and a big green K on it, and some new books, clothes and more toys. 

  

mommy and daddy’s big gift for me was my very first bike!  daddy brought it in the house and i got to ride it around a little bit before bed and i did a great job!  it even has a great little bag in the front for froggy!  i can’t wait to get more practice riding this weekend since we are going to take it to augusta with us and the weather there is going to be beautiful!

 

school + county fair + football = FALL!

with september comes the start of the school year.  my first day of school was the tuesday after labor day and i started a new school here in banner elk.  i was so excited to go and have made a perfectly smooth transition at my new school.  i love my teacher and my classmates and we have so much fun doing projects, riding the elevator to go upstairs for music and prayer time and i love it when it’s my turn to be the line leader.  i am getting really excited to take a special treat for my classmates on my birthday and i can’t wait for them to sing the birthday song to me!

 

last week was the avery county fair.  it was pretty small, especially compared to the MV fair, but i still enjoyed seeing the animals, feeding the goats, eating a big hot dog and watching them make my funnel cake!   

this past saturday we went to lily baye and madden’s house for the hawkeye game.  i didn’t watch the game, but we did get to watch cinderella and i had a great time playing with friends.  mommy and daddy enjoyed seeing the hawks take another victory and i was proud to sport the black and gold with my clothes and an awesome tattoo!  

labor day weekend of FUN!

we had a super labor day weekend!  we kicked it off friday afternoon with a birthday party for my friend davis at the banner elk town park.  they have a little bounce house that they usually have set up in their basement.  they brought it to the park and set it up for all the kids to play on!  they also had an enormous cake that was a volcano!  they rigged it to erupt with some dry ice!  i got such a big piece of cake that i couldn’t even finish eating it. 

       

that night my friend amy arrived at our house with her sister kayla, her parents norma and brian and their close family friend who we call aunt dewie.  we had so much fun playing and went to tweetsie twice while they were here.  daddy went with us for the first time this season and we also met lily baye and madden there one time.  it got really cold at night with lows down around 40 degrees so we really got a taste of fall that weekend.
