Lilypie Fourth Birthday tickers

Wednesday, November 30, 2011

Me and my buddy. We sit together all the time because Charlotte always sits down right next to me. She likes to copy everything I do. Can't blame her!My little sister is funny!I've gotten very good at zipping my coat all by myself. Now I just need to remember how to do socks. I did them last winter, but can't seem to get it right after taking the summer off.We got an early family Christmas present. It's an Xbox 360 with Kinect. It senses you and you play the games without any controls. That's pretty awesome for kids like me. Enjoy the pictures from when Wises came to visit and from Thanksgiving.

Gavin and I plugged some holes together.Daddy jumped in the air while Justin watched.Hailey jumped high.I don't know what was going on here, but it looks like something out of a horror movie or a really bad dance party.Uncle Matt is hilarious! I think that Emmy and Anya were flying.Hailey and Anya have ups.Solo flight time for Milo.I flew with Hailey (or danced or something).I'm not sure what's going on here (Mom is trying to narrate this for me, but she was upstairs when all of this went down so she's making it all up. Isn't that silly?).Serious business.There are changes coming to the blogs. Mom is going to consolidate my blog and Charlotte's blog and narrate in the first person in her own voice. She hasn't decided on the new address yet, but stay tuned. The change will occur in January, after the final Blog2Print books are made for us. Two blogs is one too many. What would happen if Mom had another kid someday? It would be crazy.

I helped Charlotte and Mom scoop out the pumpkins so Dad could carve them.He did an awesome job!They're spooky!I loved our Halloween decorations so I took the camera from Mom and took this picture of the area above our mantel.We went on a train ride a couple of weekends ago and I got to sit at a big girl table for lunch.The two hour ride just flew by since it was a beautiful day and we were able to stand at the back of the caboose.I was Jessie from Toy Story.We had a Halloween party for the MOMs group bunch and played pin the mouth on the ghost. I liked that.My friend Chloe wasn't very accurate.Leif was dressed up as Buzz Lightyear. I guess we're a Toy Story family.Mom just liked this picture of me being cute and keeping her company while she was on the computer.Sometimes I play with stickers while I'm supposed to be napping. I fell asleep while I was playing and Mom snapped a picture of me.We went to Snell-Crawford to get a few pictures of us in our costumes. I kind of cooperated, but the camera battery died very quickly so this is it.Charlotte was a horse so we called her Bullseye.I was a tough cowgirl.We went to the apple orchard on Halloween during the day.It was about 34 degrees outside so I took off my shoes and socks to play in the sandbox. Of course.We went trick or treating in Nana and Papa's neighborhood again this year.Yee haw! I love candy!

Don't I look tough with my Shrek tattoo? It's hard to believe I wore this outside just a couple of weeks ago. It's cold out now and we even saw some snow flurries yesterday morning.Todd, Ashley, and their kids came to visit us and we went to the orchard. Of course we don't have any pictures of us kids together because we never stayed still.I was irritating my mother the other day so I made this for her to make her smile. It's a candy okra that tastes like chocolate and I wrote my name all by myself.I like to sneak into my bathroom to put stickers on my arm at nap time. Mama snuck in and took a picture of me sleeping.We love to sit like this at night. We're snugglers. :)

I thought you guys might get a kick out of seeing my mom in pain. She hurt her ankle a couple of weeks ago and had to go hop hop hop all around the house. She even crawled some. I had to help her with Charlotte when Charlotte ran outside. It was really an interesting night. She's better now.Here are a few pictures from the wedding we went to. Charlotte danced up a storm the whole time the music was going. She's an awesome dancer just like me!I danced with my friend Evan. I also danced with the princess bride, but there aren't any pictures of that.Dad danced with Charlotte too.Here's a picture of Mom and Dad on their vacation. They were in Philadelphia. Can you tell? Hehehe.We went to an Iowa State game last weekend. Charlotte stayed at home with Nana because we had to stay up late. I enjoyed tailgating with my friend Vanessa.It was a special day and the Lil Clones club kids got to go on the field. I went with my dad.I was really good at waiting patiently.This was our awesome view.This was Mom's view. Do you see me?I cheered for the Cyclones, but they still lost and they lost bad. I guess you can't win them all.I loved hanging out with Lynelle. She's so nice.She had her really adorable baby Madison on her. Someday I want to have a baby just like Lynelle. Mom went and helped Lynelle out for a day this past week. I think she just wanted to snuggle up with Madison! Lucky Mom.
