Walking my car and playing some music

September 22, 2013
 I am really starting to get around now.  I will walk all over the place, as long as, I have something that I can push!
Here I am pushing my car across the room. 
 It still need to work on my timing a little bit, because, sometimes me feet get a way from me, but I am getting there. 
 I am really quite proud of myself for being able to walk behind this!

 We are all ready to go to bible study at the church.  We are having some Cheerios for breakfast.  When one has something the other one usually wants it too!  They are sure happy campers with their cups of Cheerios! 
 We stayed a little bit after today and had some fun playing!  I found a bunch of musical instruments to play and loved it. 
 We joined Makayla to listen to her music!  
 Another maraca means twice and much fun! 
 Collin and I had fun driving each other around the room in the stroller.  I had the steering wheel to help us go in the right direction! 
 My turn to drive Collin around and for him to steer! 
 I found a ball popper to play with.  I had fun pushing it down and watching the balls fly all over the place! 
 There is a big semi truck in our Sunday School class that we love to sit on and ride it around the classroom.  It is a fan favorite.   
I thought it was so fun to be able to push the chair around the classroom.

Stormy weather!

September 23, 2013
 Mommy put me in the tower to keep me contained while she made some breakfast.  I sure loved being in the tower.  I thought I was such a big girl!
 Hey look at me standing here!  So, what are we going to cook today mom?
 I kept turning myself around in there, so I didn't miss anything.  It is great getting bigger and trying new things! 
 Mommy made play dough the other day and I have been playing with it like crazy.  She lets me use her big rolling pin, so, I can roll out the play dough nice and big! 
 Mom made really fun play dough this time and put glitter in it, so that it sparkles!
 I love to use the cookie cutters and make all different shapes.  I have a 101 shapes to choose from.  Here is an airplane that I made. 
 It rained her today.  The first time in a really long time.  I was excited to get my rain jacket and rain boots on and go out and stomp in some puddles. 
 The problem with Redding is that the puddles go away quickly.  You pretty much have to go out when it is raining to find puddles to stomp in.  I found a little one and stomped the best that I could. 
 We went to find a little bit bigger of a puddle by the storm drain, to see if I could get a bigger splash! It was a little bit bigger, but still not as big as I was hoping for! 
 We went out to run some errands and the rain really started to come down.  I was able to really stomp in some big puddles as we ran into the store.  While we were in the store, we heard some thunder and lighting, which lead to lots of questions about how God causes the thunder and lighting.    It was sure a very fun and exciting outing for me!
I got to try out my new rain hat.  I am doing a lot better about keeping hats on if I am outside.  Hat is also the first word I said.  I like to pat my head and say, "hat" when I see somebody wearing one!
 After the thunder storm, there was a big rainbow in the sky.  I was so excited to see it.  I had to go out so that I could see it all.  Last year at Bible Study Fellowship we study Genesis, so I get excited when I see things God created, like this rainbow.  I told mommy it was like the one from Noah and the Ark.

Another fun day at Whiskeytown Lake!

September 19, 2013
Today, we headed back out to Whiskeytown lake for one more day to play in the water before it got to cold.  Collin and I had fun filling our buckets with sand! 
 We brought out our water squirters and Collin and I had a blast squirting water back into the lake! 
 We turned around wondering if we would be able to get our mom's from where we were.  We tried, but weren't able to get them! 
 Makayla had fun on the beach towel eating and spreading Cheerios everywhere! 
 A little picnic lunch for us hungry kids!
 I am enjoying my sandwich.  I love to eat outside!  
  After lunch, we tried out the water floaty that they brought.  I tired to sit in it and I sunk to the bottom.  Collin's mom then blew it up, so we could float! 
 Trying it out again after it was blown up.  It was nice and refreshing to sit in!  I was brave and got in first.  Collin wasn't so sure at first! 
 I had a blast splashing and rowing myself around with my oar (shovel). 
 Collin decided he wanted to try it out with me and we had a blast playing in it! 
 I tried to push Collin around in it, but it was hard, since he was touching the bottom!
 I got to hang out with Shelley for a little bit in the water!  We sure had a fun time at the Lake.  I can't wait until next year when I will get to play in the water! 
 I love to crawl around to the back of the table and hide!
 Peek-a-boo!  Here I am! 
 I am getting pretty good at getting myself up and standing with only one hand.  I really like to crawl up on mommy and use her as a jungle gym!
 McKenzie is ready to play her princess matching game.  I like to play with it too, but all I do is find cards and eat them.  Some day I will be old enough to know how to play the game correctly!

Playing with friends on our swingset

September 17, 2013
Collin and Sienna's Ama and Papa were out of town for a couple of weeks, so, our parents switched weeks taking care of us and the other couple got to go out on a date.  I really wanted my friends to play on my swing set with me.  Here Collin and I are on the glider! 
 We had a blast swinging.  Sienna was able to swing by herself, but we talked mom into pushing us on the glider!  We loved to go really high!
 We all got on to the glider and had a great time together!  That is one full glider!  
 Makayla wanted in on the play set fun and got in her swing.  Now all of us kids are having fun on the play set!
 When we were all done swinging we headed into the cafe to make some food to serve to everybody!
Sienna and I made the food and Collin got to serve it.  We had a great time having Collin and Sienna over.  We love it when they come to play!

 BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) has started back up again and I am all ready to go and waiting for mommy to finish getting everything together.  I love to go to BSF.  They have a class for me and one for Makayla.  We learn stories from the bible, do a little playing inside and out, sing some worship songs and have a little snack! 
I am all ready to go to BSF!  This is my 1st year in a classroom at BSF.  So far, I have done well going and playing happily.  Of course we are only one week into the year!
 Makayla crawled over to me and stood up.  I thought that she came on over for a hug! 
 I love to love on my sister, wither she wants it or not.  Such a sweet moment between sisters.   
Finally, what I came over to get.  I love to play with anything my sister has.  We love each other so much.
