Since my cousins are all coming to visit this weekend I thought I should update on my past few weeks, because I know we'll have lots more pictures after this weekend.
We had a very busy memorial day weekend at home. Friday night began with dad taping the woodwork in preparation for mom's painting. Mom and Dad have been wanting to do it for a long time (well since they moved in nearly 3 years ago. The purchase of a new tv stand became the catalyst for it all to happen. I was only allowed to pretend to help. Then Dad and I were banished from the Mom and her friend Becky did all the painting.
The color of the room is so nice. I was shocked and kept saying how blue it was to mom and dad. We all love our new living room. It completely changed the room. We'd love to have you over in person to see it, come by anytime.
Memorial Day was a hot one, but Mom, Dad and I headed to the parade and memorial day ceremony. It was very nice and I was most excited because I got two American flags to wave. Now I point out every flag I see everywhere we go.
I even worked on my photography skills again. I took this cute picture of mom and Dad.
We got my pool and new swimming suit out so I could do some swimming. So refreshing on a hot day.
We had quite a jam packed memorial day weekend of family fun. On Monday afternoon we headed to the Frisbee golf course and I tried my hand for the first time at Frisbee golfing. It was just okay. I kept asking Mom and Dad when we were going to the park, they sort of tricked me into thinking I was going to the park.
Mom taught me how to throw a frisbee. It's difficult for her because she has to learn to teach me things left-handed, since that is still the way I prefer.
I was good at getting the discs out of the baskets though.
Finally, after 9 holes of golf, Mom and Dad took me to the park, but look...Dad made me push him on the swing. Doesn't this seem backwards?!?
The next weekend we saw the Hellman's and I got to play with my best friend, Kayleigh. I told Mom that she was my best friend. We had a great afternoon/evening and I got to stay up way late that night.
Last weekend Dad was out of town so Mom and I drove to visit the Strocks who were camping 30 minutes from our house. I went in the lake and build a sand castle with Ellie. It was fun, I think we'll go back again when they camp there.
I even got to roast my first marshmallow and have my first ever S'more.
I only ate a bite, and then tried to share with Uncle Brian. He didn't seem interested in my leftovers once he realized they were pre-soaked...hehe
Dad came home from his trip early (he finished 3rd out of 24-but we know I can beat him), which was very exciting for Mom and I.
We decided to take advantage of the nice afternoon and visit our community pool for the first time. We had a blast. When we first got there though the whistle blew for everyone to get out and take a break. I didn't understand why I couldn't go in.
It was soo hot out that you dried off right away. The perfect day for the pool.
The little kids area was so much fun. We also went in the big pool for awhile too. I was nervous at first, but then I couldn't stop smiling and laughing.
Last night Dad brought home a beautiful princess dress that Sandy at his work gave him. I put it on last night, danced around. I only took it off to go to bed. Then this morning I put it back on and Mom and I ran lots of errands. It's amazing how many compliments you get when you put on a fancy dress and go shopping. Nothing like a little tulle to make your trip to Goodwill and Aldi seem like the royal ball!
Above is a picture of me in my dress being Doctor. Who say's the doctor has to wear a boring old lab coat!
Here's a
video from last night.
