A Year in Review

Ok, so I'm a year old now, and I should get to post my own blog....
So far, I was born.....

I met my family. They're pretty cool.

They brought me home to sleep...

....and sleep.....

....and soon it was time to party with my big sister. She taught me how to roll~ probably the most underrated mode of transportation.

Then I met my big cuz, Gavin. He ALWAYS makes me laugh!

That's when I realized how fun it is to laugh and smile....

I do that with my family A LOT!

They poured water on my head... That was weird, but I got Godparents- who I LOVE!

Soon, I learned how to eat veggies and all kinds of yummy stuff! I LOVE meatballs : )

A few random facts about me...
I'm a princess...

I love to tumble and move....

bathtime is my fave!

I loved when I started walking, but the best day...

...was Ella's first day of school! I finally got my hands on all the loot- awesome! I love my sister, but in all honesty, 3 year olds do not do well with sharing. Things get taken from my hands A LOT!

This was the BEST year ever! I'm so happy to be here with all you people, and I can't wait to start runnin'!
Happy Birthday to me! Baby Mae!

Happy Birthday, Maelle Catherine! We LOVE you!

Ella's Christmas Recital

Mae's Walking Folks

Turn you head a bit to watch this....sorry.

Ella Just Visited Santa

Holiday Fun!

It's the MOST wonderful time of the year!

Ella's Ballet Debut!

Ella's ballet class had a little show for the parents, and she did SUCH A GREAT JOB! She was the star of the show!

Ellalina Ballerina

I became a ballerina today, and I think I have it all figured out....

Being a good dancer takes dedication, discipline,

attention to detail, grace,

and being friggin' adorable doesn't hurt, either!

Fairy Mae

Just hangin' out doin' my Fairy thing.....

Super Gav!

So Gav had a Superhero Birthday Party, and EVERYONE got into it! Everyone.

Mae and I decided that we'd dress as fairies because everyone knows that fairies work only for good. So that makes them superhero's right?

Uncle Moose was so strong dressed as the Hulk that he could lift fairy Mae.... Strong!

I ate Gav's cake like a superhero-fairy, too! Yum!

Happy Super Birthday, Gav! You're a superhero in our eyes!

Big Girls...

Just a few pic's we thought were worth sending out... Enjoy!

Too Cool for School!

Had my first day of preschool today (got a lollipop for getting dressed so well)....

Got to see Gav~ he'd just finished his first day. He said it wasn't so scary! We'll see about that!

This is so exciting I can barely stand it!

I'm gonna miss my Baby Mae...

I'll see you soon. No playing with my stuff. Leave the tea set alone!

Found my seat. Now, when do we have snacks? Where are the books? Got anything with Olivia? How about songs? Do we get to dance at all?

Meanwhile...back at the ranch....[insert incriminating photo here]

School wasn't so bad. Mommy and Daddy took me out for ice cream after dinner to celebrate my first day.

I LOVE school...and purple ice cream....mostly school.

Zoo 101

Since Mae hasn't been to the zoo in a while, I decided to show her around~ now that she's not asleep all the time...

Man is she in for a good time!

I also had to show Daddy some things. He forgot what most of the animals are so I had to be his tour guide, too!

I took Mae to see Grandpa Moose~ he's always there! I visit him every time I go!

Then, I showed her how to wait patiently on line for the carousel.

She paid very close attention.

Then, I had to remind Mommy not to take pictures while I was focusing on riding my goat (or ram?)

I think Mae's got the hang of it!

Come hang at the zoo any time, Baby Mae!

Helpin' Out

So Mommy and Daddy have been slacking off doing pointless things like laundry and cleaning so I'm helping out like a good big sister. I give Mae baths now....

I also have to catch all the turtles and rubber duckies in the tub to keep Mae safe.

Mae's cute, but it's a lot of hard work...

...it's also a lot of fun!
Man, I am good at giving baths!
