Strawberry Pickin'

I got to go to Patterson Farms today with some of my playgroup friends. We picked lots and lots of strawberries, and I had the best time. I think I might have eaten too many strawberries, but it sure was fun!

Here I am...ready to pick some strawberries!

I got my basket ready...and I am ready to go!
I loved picking all the strawberries! And, Mommy said I did a great job!
But, I enjoyed eating them more!!!

Every time I put a few strawberries in my basket, I'd take a lot at them, and then I just couldn't resist...I'd keep eating them!

Yummy strawberries!!
After eating well over 20 strawberries, my Mommy took a picture of me and then took the basket away from me...I had to take some home to Daddy, right? That's what Mommy said! :) Mommy & me...notice Mommy having to hold my hand down away from my mouth...I was constantly eating strawberries :)


And, here I am with my friend, Brock...before both of us got REALLY messy eating all the strawberries. If I were you, I wouldn't plan on going to Patterson's for a few days...give the strawberries some time to grow back from us eating them all!
After we ate our picnic lunch, Mommy bought me some ice cream. It was a really fun day!!

A Wonderful Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to my Mommy. We had a fun day celebrating her! My Daddy & I went that morning to get Mommy breakfast and pick up her flowers while she slept in and got ready for church. She LOVED that! Then, after church, lunch at one of her favorite restaraunts, & my nap, Daddy & I gave Mommy her cards and the pottery piece I painted for her (with some of Daddy's help). It was a great day, and Mommy felt very loved!

Mommy's flower arrangement!

Then, Daddy took a few pictures of Mommy, me, & my baby sibling.

I can't wait to meet my sibling. I am going to be a great big sister...only 8 weeks left!
My family!

A Morning at Ray's

Here I am at Ray's Splash Planet. Before I got to swim at the indoor water park, I learned about flowers...makes my Opa & Oma so proud! :) We got to plant some seeds and cover them up with dirt. I had a fun time! (Oh, and yes, that is my Mommy in the background...with my baby sibling!)

And, this is my friend, Ella. We usually go to Ray's at the same time, and it's a lot of fun playing with her.

One Cool Chickadee & The Last Day of "School"

I love sunglasses! They are so fun to wear around...inside and outside!

My Mommy says that I am "one cool chickadee," and that makes me laugh! But, I am pretty cute, aren't I? :)
And, here I am talking on the phone...something else I LOVE to do, whether for real or pretend. But, of course, in my world, everything is "for real" and nothing is pretend!
And, here is a picture of me on my last day of "school." I went to a Mother's Morning Out program on Thursdays each week, and I had so much fun. This fall, I start real preschool, and I get to go 2 days a week and be in the same class as my cousin, Stephanie, who I call "LaLeigh." I am so excited about that! We're going to have so much fun together!
I'll miss going and seeing my friends and my teacher, Mrs. Sally. But, it was so much fun!

Oma's Birthday & A day at the Fountain

For my Oma's birthday, we all went to Opa & Oma's house for swimming and pizza. It was so fun. I LOVED being in the swimming pool again. (Of course, it was nice and heated, so it was even better!) Happy Birthday, Oma!!

Here I am...snackin' on some chips with my Daddy!

Me with my Opa & cousin Stephanie! (Opa calls us his "buddies," and I love it!)
It sure was a beautiful day!
Oh, and this was probably my first time ever...I was looking at bugs, particularly ladybugs, so does that make it any better since I'm a girl?? :)
That night, I was looking at a magazine with my baby doll, Molly, before bedtime. I am very attached to my 2 baby dolls right now, Molly & Abby. They go with me almost everywhere, & I love them! (Excuse the messy playroom...we cleaned that up after we looked through the magazine!)
Then, today, I got to go the fountains at Birkdale. I went with some of my friends from playgroup, and it was so fun!
Look at me...I'm having a great time! The day was nice and sunny, so I didn't even care that the water was so cold!
But, filling up this bucket kept me entertained for quite some time!
Then, it was time for me to take a break, be the "princess," and let my friend, Brock, fill up my bucket for me. Being one of the only girls in our playgroup sure has its advantages!! :)
I am ready for summer!
