Tooth #2 Is Gone

I lost another tooth!  It was loose and I put my tongue under it and just pushed it out.  Now I have a big hole and I can put a straw in it and drink without opening my mouth.  I kept my first tooth but the Tooth Fairy got this one.  She left a gold coin under my pillow.  She is so sneaky!

Back To School

Riley is about to go back to school and we just stumbled back upon pictures from her Pre K graduation from May.  We never posted any of these and we figured that we should at least close out Pre K before Kindergarten starts.

Getting my diploma from Mrs. Crone.  She was a good teacher.

We were singing songs and doing some of our motions.

Taking a picture with my friends from Pre K (L-R Amelia, Sarah, Lyric, Lilly, Abigail, Me).  

Uncle Tim came to see my graduation.

Me and Mommy.  I have the best Mommy.  

Beach Stuff

We did some big sand digging jobs on the beach.  Kevin dug a big hole that was almost as big as me.  It went all the way until there was water under the sand.  I heard that was he was trying to dig to China but I don't think he made it.

Me and Daddy dug a little tunnel.  He worked on one side and I worked on the other side digging it out.  It was big enough for me to slide through.

Here is one last story from vacation in Florida.  I went for a walk and I wanted to run down the sand dunes.  But OWWWIEEE!!! I stepped on some pokey thing.  Daddy thought he took it out but there were a couple little pokies still in my foot.  It hurt every time I stepped but I was too afraid it would hurt worse to take them out.

Daddy tried to grab my foot and take them out but I wouldn't let him.  I was kicking and yelling.  He said people were looking at us like we were crazy.  But I just wouldn't let him take them out. So I kept walking and saying ouch, ouch.  He tried to grab my leg again and I kept yelling NO!.  Finally, Daddy got mad at me and let me keep walking.

When we got back to the condo, Mommy wanted to take them out.  But I didn't want her to do it either. It was gonna hurt!  Eventually Mommy sat on me and pulled them out.  It did hurt pretty bad but at least it was over.  I'm not walking in the dunes ever again.

Flying Ariel

I have had my kite for a long time but I never flew it before.  It was windy yesterday so I finally got to fly it.

Mommy helped me get Ariel up in the air.  She was flying really high!  I was scared that I would let go and she was going to fly away.  But she didn't.  After a little bit she came down and we couldn't get it windy enough again.  Maybe I'll try again on another windy day.  

Here is a video of flying Ariel and us on the beach...

Riley In The Sand

We are on vacation this week and we went back to Florida.  I have been so excited to go back.  I have been asking about it since I finished up school.  This vacation took forever to get here this summer.

After a long car ride and watching so many movies, we have made it to the Florida condo.  Landon is here too but they drove apart from us in their car.  Mommy and Daddy played some kind of game with Kevin and Kristie where they looked for cars from different states.  I would like to play but I can't read states of cars.  I'm practicing my sight words but I don't know that stuff. I was mad that Kevin and Kristie found one more car! I said that we will have to win on the way back home.

Today we went to the pool with Daddy for a little bit but then it was going to rain so we went inside.  But then Daddy and Poppy took us a walk before it was dark.  We got to play in the sea water. (Note: She is calling it the sea, not the ocean, this year.  It must be from The Little Mermaid.)

I know what I'm going to do every day this week.  Everyday, I will go to the pool and then the beach and then the sea.
