Biking to the park!

July 13, 2014

This morning while we were getting ready for our shower, mom took my diaper off and standing there I told her that, "I needed to pee", so, she quickly put me on the potty and I went pee in the potty for the first time.  This is the second time, I went pee on the potty.  I thought I was ready to go and start wearing underwear.  It only lasted for about 3/4 of a day and than I stopped and started wearing my diaper again.  

Aunt Helen brought bunny crackers and cookies and they were a perfect treat for going potty!

Micah, Makayla, and me had another rousing game of go fish, but this time with Granpy!

We all got onto our bikes and are ready to take on the Sunriver bike baths!

We are all lines up and ready to race to the park.  Okay, so we didn't race, but we did all bike to the park!

I had fun rocking the animal back and forth whatever it was!

Any guesses on what it might be?

I got on the other one and had fun rocking!

Micah and I got on the ropes course merry-go-round.  We had fun spinning around and around and around together!

I climbed up and now I am twirling down!

Grammy and I had fun at the park together!

Sydney, Wyatt, and me had a great time being pushed by Granpy on the tire swing!

The other kids were swinging back and forth on the little zip line and I wanted to join in the fun.  Aunt Helen helped me across.  It was a wild ride!

Oh the faces I make!  Thanks for the help Aunt Helen!

I loved it so much, that later I talked Grammy into helping me across.  

A sweet little kiss on the cheak for Uncle Scott!

I wanted to go on the merry-go-round, so, mom gave me to Sydney, so, she would keep me safe while we spun around.  Us girls had a lot of fun!

I love to swing and can swing for a long time.  Grammy was nice and pushed me for a while!

Then Sydney did a great job of pushing me!  It was sure a fun time at the park.  We got back on our bikes and biked back home!

Then, we headed over to the SHARC, which, is the aquatic center in Sunriver.  I was excited to get to do some swimming!

There was a little slide that I had a good time shooting out of.

Like I said it shoots you right out!

Since, Dad was at work, mom really appreciated having Aunt Helen there to help keep an eye on us with her.  We had fun swimming.  We didn't get to swim very long before a thunderstorm rolled in and they cleared the pool.  We ran through quite the hail and torrential down pour to get to our cars.  I think it got us even wetter than swimming in the pool!

That night for dinner Uncle Jeff and Aunt Susan made us a Chinese dinner.  We started out with some yummy pot stickers for an appetizer.  

I loved the pot stickers and ate at least five of them!

It was fun to sit down and have dinner with everybody every night!  We sure enjoyed our Chinese food tonight!

I was one tired little pup after our big day of fun.  I laid down at the top of the stairs all tuckered out!

I had a little bit of silliness still left in me!

Sunriver!

We are on our way, don't know when we will get there, but we are on our way!  While mom was finishing packing up the car to head to Sunriver, we got into our jeep and are ready to drive ourselves there.  Mom wasn't too sure that the jeep would make it out of Redding, let alone, Sunriver.  We ended up going in the car with mom!

We are excited to spend a week in Sunriver playing with cousins!  The day we got there was Grammy's birthday, so, we made her a birthday dessert and then helped her blow out her candles!

We got a picture with all of the grandkids with Grammy and everybody looking!

Ezekiel, Grammy, and me sure enjoyed our chocolate truffle cake!

Happy Birthday Grammy!

After cake, we all got to help Grammy open her present!  She had lot of good helpers!

The next day, we got ready to head out on a hike.  Aunt Sarah and I had fun making grumpy faces together!

We were going to go hiking Tumalo Falls, but it happened to be closed for construction, so, we thought we would walk down a different trail for a little bit and eat our lunch by the creek.  We found a log to sit on!

We enjoyed out sandwiches with Aunt Sarah and Sydney!

It was sure a yummy lunch and always better when you eat outside!

We decided not to go further on the trail, because, the bridge didn't look that safe to cross over.  Even Daddy, who inspects bridges for his job, deemed this one not very safe!  This is as far as we were allowed to go.  

Grammy and I found a perfect rock to sit on and finish our lunch!

It was like this little bench was set up just for me!

We stopped to check out the really big ant hill.  We were quite fascinated by it, since, we have never seen anything like it!

Daddy gave me a piggy back ride for a little bit!  It was sure a fun ride!

Sydney had fun riding on Granpy's shoulders!

Go fish was a huge hit by all of us and was played a lot.  Aunt Susan was great to help me play, since, I am still learning!

Uncle Jeff, Aunt Susan, Jonah, Ezekiel, and Micah took a cross country trip from Asheville, NC and we meet up with them in Sunriver.  We were excited to see them!  I got to read a BOB book to Uncle Jeff for my bedtime story!

Aunt Helen read Micah and me a bedtime story!

We gave hugs all around!  I gave Uncle Scott a nice snuggle!

Daddy caught Micah and gave him a hug! We had a fun day!

A week in Redding!

July 6-8, 2015

Dad signed us up for the summer reading program, since he is in Prineville, we haven't made it back to get our prizes for reading.  Today, mom decided to take us and return some books and get our prizes.  We made it out with some fun loot!  We each got to pick a book, I (McKenzie), got a Fancy Nancy book and Makayla picked an Olaf book.  We also got these fire hats, backpacks, magnifying glass, and certificates for a free pizza!  We were excited about all our prizes!

 Today, we got to watch Gus and baby Tilly.  When Tilly woke up, we thought she might want to stretch out on a blanket.  Makayla was excited to let her use her moose blanket.  I had fun watching her.  She was sure fun to watch and talk to!

 I got down to her level, so, we could converse!  It was fun to have Gus and Tilly over!

 Tonight our church was doing a baptism out at the Whiskeytown group area, so, we thought we would go hang out and watch.  I had fun playing in the sand with Jayden and Sienna.  

I had fun playing with Collin and Allie!  It was nice to have friends for all!

We all crowded in under the pop-up tents, since, it started to down power with thunder and lightening as they were going to start the baptisms.  We were happy to stay dry while watched the baptisms.  It was a fun evening at the lake, rain and all!
