The Fair

This year Mommy and Daddy took me to my first fair! We went to the Georgia National Fair in Perry, GA. It was so much fun and I was big enough to ride all of the kiddie rides! I was a little nervous at first, but took right to it after the first ride! Mommy rode with me while Daddy took pictures! I got to eat lots of fair food like a corn dog, funnel cake, and cotton candy. I loved them all, but the cotton candy was sort of funny feeling in my mouth and I made a weird face when I ate it.

I LOVED riding the carousel. The horses were my favorite!

Me, Mommy, and Daddy on the Skylift. We could see the whole fair from up there!

I also got a pretty butterfly painted on my cheek. I cried when we had to wash it off that night!

I also got to see lots of animals...cows, horses, sheep, rabbits, pigs, sea lions, a giraffe, camels, zebras, turtles, and monkeys! I didn't care too much about petting any of them, but I liked looking at them and telling Mommy and Daddy to pet them for me. Here's lots of pictures of my animal friends!

I loved the fair and can't wait to go back next year!

A few of my favorite things

I wanted to tell you about two of my favorite activities to do (almost) every afternoon when I get home from school.

The first is finger painting. I got this really cool finger painting set that only shows up on this special paper. I'm pretty sure I got it for my 2nd birthday and Mommy and Daddy are just now bringing it out. I love to "do my artwork" and Mommy and Daddy think I am VERY talented!

Another thing I love to do is "cook". I usually ask to do this when Mommy is making dinner. I want to be in the kitchen with her so we finally decided that I should do something to occupy myself and stay away from the hot stove. So Mommy decided to put some flour in a bowl and give me a whisk to stir it with. Then Daddy decided that we needed some pepper in the mix (black with the white flour) and somehow it evolved into me wanting to "cook" it in the microwave and put it in the refrigerator to cool off. I am really into this and take my culinary skills very seriously....adding just the right amount of pepper (that is, until it's all gone).

Everytime I get the "dinner" out of the microwave I make sure to tell Mommy "It's very very HOT!" I love being the "cooker"!

Kids are smart...

Why is it that they are the cutest right before bedtime??

I Turned Three!

I turned three on August 30, 2010! My third birthday was so much fun! I had a birthday party in Cordele and it was a Minnie Mouse theme! I really got into my birthday this year and told everyone how old I was! My Nana taught me how to do a three with my fingers by "putting the little fingers down", so I told everyone when I showed them how old I was "You have to put the littles down."

Here are some pictures from my birthday party!

My awesome birthday cake! Thanks, again, Aunt Melinda!

Present Time!

My birthday this year was on a Monday, so Mommy and Daddy brought cupcakes to my "school" and we had a fun time celebrating with my classmates and teachers!

My teachers at school: Miss Tonya, Miss Martha, and Miss Shell

After school and work, Mommy and Daddy took me to eat pizza for dinner at Mellow Mushroom and then we walked over to Coldstone for some birthday ice cream! Yummy!

I had a wonderful 3rd Birthday! Thank you to everyone who helped to make my birthday party a success and to everyone who came to help celebrate!

Summertime Fun

I got to go to two Braves games this summer! I LOVE going to Braves games and tell Mommy and Daddy everytime we pass the stadium that I want to go back! I have my tomahawk chop down and my favorite part is the Home Depot tool race!

Addie See - Addie Do

For awhile I insisted that I blowdry my hair every night like my Mommy does. I would not accept any assistance and had to use the brush like Mommy does too...Mommy was so worried that I would burn my head that she made me stop doing this.

Another way to be like Mommy - put on makeup! If I ever see Mommy getting ready to go somewhere, I have to put on makeup as well. Mommy usually just gives me some face powder and a brush and I am happy. Sometimes, though, I get into her bronzer without her knowing and this is what happens.

I LOVE going to the pool!

Date night with Daddy!

St Simons

At the end of June, we went down to St. Simons for a short vacation with Randaddy and MJ. I really enjoyed the water and the beach this year! Here are some highlights of our trip.

We visited the pier and I loved watching the boats and seeing all of the people fishing. Afterward, we walked through the village and got ice cream and visited all of the fun shops!

MJ's sister was very nice and took us to the Beach Club on Sea Island! I had a GREAT time playing in their pools and chasing the birds! I loved the pool because I could walk in and play all by myself. I even told Mommy and Daddy that I didn't want them to play in the pool with me because I was a big girl and wanted to be "all by myself".

The beach was my favorite! I loved building sand castles and playing in the sand! I had such a good time that I asked Mommy and Daddy for the rest of the summer when we were going back! Thank you Randaddy and MJ for making this trip so much fun!
