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.

Daddy's Three Kids

We took this picture on Father's Day. We didn't all sleep in the bed like that but Mommy had us lay down. I like that it goes from the biggest (that's me) to the littlest (Julian).  Julian is such a cutie!  On Father's Day, we went to my favorite restaurant Buffalo Wild Wings.  But Daddy got to pick it that day.  He likes it too and Luci will eat chicken nuggets.  They gave me a cardboard crown that said 'Sauce Boss'.  It was funny.

Dance Recital

Tomorrow is finally my dance recital.  I'm excited because we get to dance on a big stage.  We have practiced on the stage.  And today we had a rehearsal with our dresses on.  

We have blue dresses with spots and black tights.  It looks really good.  I love wearing the tutu too.  But I only wear the tutu for the tap dance.  I get to keep the dress too.  I might wear it for Halloween.

And I like it because I get to wear makeup. Mommy put eye shadow and lipstick and some makeup on my cheeks too.  And some mascara, I like that too.

Miss Sara said that we "brought it" today and we are going to "bring it" tomorrow.  It is going to be fun to do the tap dance and to do the rock star dance.

Back To Bellaboos

 Do you know the best place to go by Grandma's house?  Bellaboos!  Me and Luci love to go there.  Here are some pictures of us playing with everything there.  We played in the pretend store.  Luci bought a lot of stuff.

We played with some trains.  We put on the train driver hats.  Isn't Luci cute?  Hey....wait! Why isn't there a picture of me with the train driver's hat?  

I love to get my face painted too.  You can paint your face as many times as you want.  Just wash it off and do it again. I had Daddy paint my face like a tiger.  Roar!!!  Then he painted a butterfly on my face.  I know all about butterflies because we had them in school.

And we built a stage for dancing.  That reminds me.  I have a dance recital coming up in a few days.  I'll put up some pictures of me dancing on a stage!  

Pre K Graduate

I graduated from Pre K and now I don't have to go to school this summer.  When I go to school next year I will be in Kindergarten.  (Mommy can't believe it!)  I will miss Mrs. Crone but I will say hi to her in the hallway.  I learned a lot.  I can write all my letters and count to 100.  I know the days of the week.  I learned about all of the stuff God made.

My class did a program for everyone to see.  And I got a book with my picture in it.

Now I have all summer to hang with Mommy and Luci and Julian!  And Daddy when he is not at work.

Color Faded Photo

Daddy was looking at a book and I saw this picture.

Me:  "That is a lot of kids."

Daddy: "Yeah. He used to be President. That is his family."

Me:  "He was President a long time ago?"

Daddy:  "Why do think it was a long time ago?"

Me:  "Because the picture lost its color.  Because it is too old."

Daddy thought it was funny.  But it makes sense to me.
