Not much happening here...

Mom has had to work EVERY DAY this week. Miss Manda has watched me and we have danced and played and I have opened all my new toys and played with them, but I miss my Mom. Dad has worked too, but that is pretty normal so I have missed him, but I get to see him every night. Mom does not ususally work this much and I do not like it. Can you believe no one has taken my picutre this week? What is a girl to do? The weekend is coming up and both Mom and Dad are off so I think we are going to have some family time. YEAH I have missed them too much!

Party at Gattiland!

Today was fantastic! We got up went to Church and then Mamaw's and then to my party at Gattiland. My family and friends were there and I got pizza and cupcakes! THEN presents and then games. It was a blast!

MY BIRTHDAY! I AM 3 TODAY!

Today is my birthday! It has been a great day. Since I staid the night with Mamaw and Papaw, Mom had to come over there to visit me. Dad had to work (even though it was Saturday--a bummer for him). About noon I decided I wanted to go swimming with Papaw. We had a blast! Mom did not have her camera so she used Mamaw's. When she gets a chance she will upload some pictures of me swimming. I am the best swimmer ever! Then Mom took me home and I got my present from Mom and Dad--another pair of red cowgirl boots. I had been so disappointed since my other pair became too small. I took a nap and then Mom woke me up and said we had to get ready to go to our birthday dinner with Nina, Poppie, Aunt Kat, Uncle Brian and Ellie. I had so much fun. Once again Mom did not have a camera so you will have to check Ellie's blog since HER mom was prepared. Then I thought I might stay the night with Ellie, so we all went back to her house. After Ellie went to bed though I decided I should probably go home to my bed too. All in all though today was one of my best days ever. An tomorrow I get to go to my birthday party at Gattiland--I can hardly wait!

Another Day to Play with Mom

Today Mom was off again. I love these days! We got up and played for a long time. Then we had to get ready--Mom had yet another doctor appt. Mamaw was busy so I got to go with Mom to hear Kyle's heart beat. It was great. I am going to be a wonderful big sister. Then we went to Mamaw and Papaw's so we could go to dinner with Aunt Mary, Miss Judy and Dad. We went to Texas Roadhouse. Since my birthday is tomorrow I got to ride the saddle around the restaurant--I am not really sure about this, it kinda embarrassed me. Since it was play night for Mom she had to leave and I got to stay the night with Mamaw and Papaw. No pictures today. Sorry just and update.

Went to the park

Today the sun is out! It is cold but there is sunshine. Bandit and I have cabin fever really bad so we talked Mom into taking us to the park. Yes, I know it was only 37 degrees outside, but a girl and a dog need to play. We just put on lots of clothes. I had a blast. My Mom must love me alot to do this. Check out my red nose!

Mom's Birthday!

It's Mom's Birthday today! I am so excited. Another party! We went to Mamaw and Papaw's house after Mom and Dad got home from work. Mamaw made a huge dinner and we all ate till we could pop. Sometimes when I look at Mommy's belly I think she is going to pop for real. Kyle must be HUGE. Dad and I have fun poking her belly and watching Kyle kick her. We also tickle him and shake her belly to see if he will move. It has been fun watching her belly jump around. Anyway I digress. . . Back to the party. We have more cake and open presents and take some pictures. I hope you like them, I am an excellent photographer.

Valentimes Party at Nanny's

Today we get up and get ready for Church. Mom says to put on a really pretty dress because we have a party to to afterwards. I pick out my favorite green dress and am so excited because I love a good party! After Church we head to Nanny Roberts' house. Aunt Mary Lue is there and we have a great party. She has balloons and a cake and presents too. We eat lunch and visit a while and then the sugar high wears off and I get so tired. We go home and relax the rest of the day.

Valentimes Day!

Today Mom woke up and wished me "Happy Valentines Day" I keep telling her it's Vanentimes Day but she won't listen. We gave Dad his card first thing. Mom and I worked hard and recorded him a message in his card and then it plays "My Guy" He loved it. Then I brought him his present one piece at a time. First some brownie batter, then an apron, then the icing, then the sprinkles, then the pan, then another apron (one for me and one for Mom), then just me. We had a wrestling match and tickle fight. I was so hungry after all that work I told Mom and Dad we needed to go to Jessie's for breakfast. I also REALLY missed my Poppie so we called and invited Nina, Poppie, Aunt Kat, Ellie, and Uncle Brian to breakfast with us. It was alot of fun. Aunt Kat and Ellie gave me these really great heart stickers. I passed them out to everyone I saw. I did not want to leave the restaurant but Mom and I had to go get our haircut. Off to Bardstown we went. I got a surprise though--Mamaw was going too. We were Aunt Carolyn's last appt of the day so we went to lunch with her and Mamaw Logsdon, Nanny, RuRu, and it was so much fun! I got to pass out even more hearts! The waitress loved me I'm sure. Mom forgot her camera so there are no pictures of us today.

I am Captain Jack!

Well tonight I decide that I will not go to bed unless I get to wear my pirate dress from Halloween. Mom compromises with me and I concede to just wear my pirate hat. We make a good team. I think I am pretty cute in just the hat and my jammies! Check out my nose--it is still healing. Papaw has brought me a gift every day since it happened. Today I got a cookie arrangement. Maybe this getting hurt thing isn't so bad after all.

I hurt my nose!

What a day! I went to visit Mamaw and Papaw today. It was so nice outside that Mom and I walked over. While we were there Mamaw asked Mom to follow her upto the car shop so she could drop her van off to get some work done to it. Papaw would watch me. Sounds like a good plan, right? Well let me clue you in to a secret--Papaw should not be left alone with busy kids. While Mom and Mamaw are gone Papaw and I decide to go for a stroll--I sit on my green tractor and he pulls me around the block. We had just gotten home when I have this urgent need to run up the driveway. I trip over a crack in the concrete and go flying forward. I land on my hands and nose. I am bleeding pretty bad and all poor Papaw could do is cry with me. Much to my relief Mamaw pulls in the driveway right as I am starting to panic--Papaw does not know how to fix my nose. Mamaw takes me inside and gets some ice and starts cleaning the blood. Mom follows a few minutes behind and she picks me up and takes me to the rocking chair and rocks and sings until I feel better. After about thirty minutes I decide I will live and Mom and I can go home to see Dad. I also need to make some phone calls--with a bloody nose and scratches to boot who knows what kind of sympathy gifts I can get. My first call is to Nina . . . .

Nina's Birthday

Tonight we went to Aunt Kat's after Mom and Dad got home from work. It was Nina' s birthday party. I had a blast! We ate dinner, had cake, played Wii, played with Ellie's toys, and finally I took a bath with Ellie. It was awsome! Only problem was Mom's camera was acting up--we only got one picture and I am not even in it. It is of Mom and Ellie. I did not even get a picture with Nina and it was her birthday. P.S. look at how big Mom's belly is with Kyle. Last doctors visit he was almost 4 pounds!

The Snow and Ice have Arrived

1-27-09

Well the snow and ice have arrived. I was at Mamaw's house when Mom and Dad stopped by to TRY to get me to go home. They said it was getting really slippery outside and if I was going to come home it was time to do so--I politely declined. I was staying the night at Mamaw's for sure. They took this picture last night.

1-28-09

The next thing I know is I wake up freezing. Mamaw said we had to get up and get me ready to go home that Mom and Dad still have power what ever that means. I just know it means warm. So home I go. When I get there Mom and Dad do not think they will keep power very long so they are getting things ready. This means out comes the camping gear and firewood. How fun! I am so excited I dance in the snow.

Then Granny and Mary loose their power too. They come on over to get warm too. Even more fun--company. I am always ready for a party. I played so hard I fell asleep while Aunt Mary rocked me.

Then the unthinkable happens--we loose power too. Everyone decided to stay though since we have a fireplace, firewood, and a gas stove and water heater. It was awesome. I loved the fire. It was beautiful and warm. AND since the food would go bad in the fridge we had a feast to eat. Mamaw and I could even sleep upstairs with no problem. Mom and Dad had other issues though. They were worried about the basement flooding. Dad had to check the battery backup on the sump pump every 2 hours and keep the fire going. Mom just worries a lot so she could not sleep if Dad was not sleeping. He and Mom were so tired the next day and poor Mom had to go to work. But after Dad took a nap, he and I got to go and play. We played outside and went to the mall. Mamaw and Granny hung out in front of the fire and talked and played cards. Dad had some people come over and fix the sump pump with a water powered backup system. It seemed to make Mom and Dad so happy but all they could talk about was a good night's sleep with no flood worries.

1-30-09

My Uncle Steve's power came back on today so Granny is going to go stay with him. Aunt Mary is leaving for Florida today so she left too. Mom and Dad had to go to work and so did Papaw. That just left me and Mamaw to hang out. We played in the living room most of the day since we were running out of wood. Mamaw called Logsdon Land and magically they were able to come up with wood and 2 generators. One for us and one for Mamaw and Papaw. After Dad got home from work that night he and Papaw were building another fire and Poppie comes to visit. He tells us to come over to his house since he has power and not to worry about the generator that night. Mom gets home and starts packing. Poppie goes to pick up Nina and get some donuts and then our power comes on. I am really disappointed. I was looking forward to another slumber party. Mom calls Poppie to tell him and he says he and Nina will stop by with the donuts anyway. I then con Nina and Poppie into taking me home with them so I can continue the party. Life is good for a busy girl like me. All the adults look so tired though.

1-31-09

Today Mamaw and Papaw's power came back on too--they go home. I am so sad. I get back from Nina and Poppies and everything has gone back to normal. The house is quiet and clean. Mom and Dad are home and working on things there. Bandit is sleeping. I am really very sad the excitement is over. But there is a silver lining--more snow could be coming next week. . .
