Open gym

August 5, 2014

Today, we met up with some friends at one of the open gyms in town.  

They had a little tots room that was perfect for me to play around in.  

I had fun jumping up and down on the little trampoline.  It took me a moment to get used to it at first, but once I got it I had a blast!

I had fun all over the gym!  We ran on the trampoline, jumped on the mats, did the balance beam, swung on the rings and a lot more fun things.  

I had a great time swinging back and forth.  

I have recently learned how to do a somersault and wanted mom to take a video of me doing one on the mat.  Here is my somersault.  

I was pretty excited to be able to ride on the horse!  We had a fun morning at the gym with our friends.  

Some sweet sister moments!

Makayla and I play a lot together.  At times, we play really well at other times we fight like sisters.  The good news is right now we play more than we fight.  Today, we brought books out of McKenzie's room to read together.  

We would read a book and than switch with each other.  We had a great time looking at the books.  

 After we finished reading our books, we moved on to do some fishing.  It was quite cute because we gathered all our stuff that we would need for a fishing adventure.  We got our fishing tackle, our picnic basket, our grocery bag, and our dolls and traveled all round the house until we ended up in the bathroom, which I guess, was the perfect place for our fishing adventure.  

I put the worm on the hook, while, Makayla found some fish for us to catch.  We make a great team and had a wonderful fishing adventure.

McKenzie loves Belle.  She dresses her and plays with her all the time.  Today, I found Belle and thought I would see what all the fuss is about.  She was a lot harder to dress than I thought!

This morning, we have been cleaning the house.  McKenzie and I thought we would give mom a break and clean the bathroom floor.  I was in charge of sweeping and McKenzie was in charge of mopping without water. 

We took our cleaning seriously and really got down and into it!

We are all done.  I think you will find that we did a great job!  Mom said we did a great job, but then for sum reason, while we were napping, she ended up sweeping it and mopping it herself.  It has been so fun to watch our relationship as sisters grow.   

Fishing for blackberries?

August 2, 2014

Today is the last kids fishing day up at Mt. Shasta, so, we are getting ready to head up to fish.  Mom french braided my hair into two french braids today, so, she wanted a pictures before it got  messed up!

I wanted my picture taken with Belle!

I cast my line out and am now waiting to hook a fish.  

I got one on my line and now I am reeling it in.  

We got the fish netted and it was a pretty big one.  It ended up being a rainbow trout.  

There was a two fish limit today, so, I put my line out to try to get another one and ended up snagging one on its side.  Daddy went to put Collin's fish on the chain, so, Lara came over to help me reel it in.  She is actually fishes, so, she was a lot more helpful than mom.  We ended up landing a brown trout this time that was smaller than my first.  

After I caught my two fish, I wanted help out with the other fish.  I tried to net the fish that Sienna had reeled in, but it ended up getting off before we got it into a net.  

I found McKenzie's princess rod and wanted to give it a try.  

Now how does this thing work?  I told Mommy and Daddy that I wanted a fishing rod with Minnie Mouse on it.  They said they would look into it for me for Christmas. 

I had fun with the net, while, I waited for a fish to be caught.  

Makayla and I had fun playing around together.  I really like to pick her up right now. 

Look at how strong I am and how far off the ground I can get my sister.  Right now she is okay with me lifting her up, this isn't always the case.  

I sat down to play for a little bit.  

What a joyful face!

We got a picture of all of us kids with Daddy and the fish we caught.  

Makayla wasn't so sure about the fish.  Daddy asked if she wanted to touch it.  

I decided to get brave enough to touch the fish.  

Collin and I had a fun morning together. 

The three fisher kids hanging out while we got ready to go and check out.  

While Daddy got the fish off the chain and divided, I had fun hanging out with Mom and McKenzie.  

We had a fun morning at the fish hatchery.  

Some water was much needed after a warm morning of fishing.  

I love to laugh and giggle!

On our way home, we stopped to pick some blackberries.  I really wanted to help pick the blackberries, so, I was told to pick the black ones and the ones that were easy to reach, since, they have stickers on them that poke and scratch you.  

I went to help Mom pick blackberries at first.  She would pick and then I would eat them.  She gave me her bowl to hold and I thought they were for me to eat.  

I helped out by holding the container for Dad while he picked some blackberries.

  

I stood there until the whole container was empty and then went over to mom and handed her the container and said, "more, more, please, please!"

I ended up eating my weight in blackberries.  I officially love berries!

Just look at that cute blackberry stained face!

I am sure glad we stopped to pick blackberries.  I can't wait to head home and make a blackberry cobbler.  

I had a fun day!

Back to Whiskeytown

July 29, 2014

 We hadn't been out to Whiskeytown lake in awhile, so, today we headed out there and met up with Collin and Sienna.  Collin and I had fun playing in the water together!

 Sienna and I had fun playing in the water together.  

 We got out for lunch and I needed a towel to dry off.  I love beach towels.  I was excited to have this one wrapped around my shoulders.

 I had fun walking around with my beach towel.  

 We had a great time going out deep and swimming around.  

 Collin and I shared a towel to eat our lunch on.  

Sienna and I shared a towel to eat our lunch on.  We sure had fun eating together and had a great time out at the lake.
