Another new friend

Mommy's friend Lyndie had her baby boy a little early. She was actually due three weeks before mommy but had baby Hudson three weeks early. So, we got to meet him and his brother Cooper who is about to turn 3. I loved Cooper and the baby and I showed mommy just how much help I would be when my new baby brother/sister gets here.

I even thought I would help out while we were there and decided to mow their lawn!

My new sandbox and more fun at the park!

Aunt Luann and Jackie gave me my very first sandbox!! Thanks guys!! Daddy and I went out right away and got some sand to fill it with. Daddy even bought me pink sand to top it off!! How cool is that???? Yippee! I didn't know what to do in the sandbox at first and when Daddy put me in it, I wanted out. I am really catching on now and I love to play in it. Grammy got me a new sand fish, shovel and strainer for it too!

I had to take a litte break and go down the slide with bare feet and my shovel.
We have been spending more time at the park lately and trying to enjoy this beautiful Fall weather we have been having. Once the baby arrives, we might not be leaving the house quite as often. I am getting more and more brave and going down new slides and playing on new equipment each time we go. I love it there!

The tube slide is one of my new favorites!! Can you tell?

I am such a good climber!

I also know how to swing above the slide now. This scares mommy a little...

Don't worry mom!

Grammy even stopped by the park on her way home from work. We were so happy to see her. She had to chase me around for mommy! Thanks Grammy!

I really like the tunnels now too!

A new dress

I got a new dress for our family pictures. Isn't it cute!

This is my mean face!

My Second Bluffton Street Fair

I got to go to my second street fair in Bluffton where my mommy and daddy grew up. We went on a Thursday evening again like last year, but this year Austin and Susan went with Mommy and I. We met Grammy there with her best friend, Trudy. Then, Grandma Cindy and Mike also met us and spent time with us as well as Pappaw Dan. It was so much fun! We watched the parade first and I sat on my friend, Mike's lap. He and Grandma gave me lots of candy!!!!! YUMMY! I had a blue tongue, blue lips and a blue chin!

Austin sat on Grammy's lap until Pappaw got there.

I showed Pappaw the balloon while he enjoyed a sucker. He likes candy too!

Mike helped out and put me on a motorcycle ride that was so much fun!!! I loved it!

Austin loved it too. Can you see him behind this kid?? He is grinning from ear to ear!

Here I am in motion!

After the fair, we went back to Pappaw's to pick up my new dresser. It is the dresser mommy and Aunt Kari shared growing up and it is from Grammy's side of the family. I had fun playing in the car while everyone else did the work! Thanks especially to Pappaw and Aunt Susan for carrying the dresser and loading it.

Austin helped Pappaw strap the dresser to the trailer. It was a very late night for us. We didn't leave Pappaw's house until 11PM and got home at 12:45AM. Austin and I fell asleep as soon as we left Pappaw's though.

Aunt Susan was being silly!

What a super great weekend!

The weekend started out with Jackie coming to stay with us followed by a parade where we all got lots of candy!! Yippee!! For dinner Friday night we met Aunt Kari and Uncle Mark at Texas Roadhouse after the parade. Then, Aunt Kari rocked me to sleep at my house.

The next morning, mommy, Jackie and I went to the park to play and have a picnic. Aunt Kari and Dixie met us there. I wanted to hold Dixie's leash the whole time and take her down the slide with me.

After the park, we came home and I took my afternoon nap. While I was napping, Aunt Susan, Uncle Matt and Austin came over to check out my "new" play set. Austin had fun playing on it. I am sorry I missed him.

Then, after dinner we went out for some of our favorite ice cream with Jackie. After my bath, I was exhausted from a long, fun day!

On Sunday, Jackie went with us to church and then we just spent the day at home relaxing.

5 Weeks To Go!

We only have 35 days to go until mommy's due date! At her appointment on Tuesday, she was measuring 2.5 weeks behind but everything looks good. She starts going every week next Friday until my brother or sister is ready to meet me!! :)

Surprise Visitors!

Grandma Cindy, Great Grandma Betty, Jackie and Aunt Luann made a surprise visit to our house on their way home from Nashville, TN. It was so great to see them for a few minutes before they headed on their way. Thanks for stopping!!! I love you and you made our day!

Me!

I love bananas!

Mom, you really have to take my picture?
Pouty face! Do you like my boots?

Got my skinny jeans on again!

Helping Daddy!

I so love my daddy and helping him is one of my favorite things! He recently put up my "new" play set in the back yard and I got to help! He let me turn the crescent wrench and everything. My play set is so much fun. It has a slide, three swings, a steering wheel, etc. We need to take a picture of the final product to post on here.

Conner Prairie Fun!

To wrap up Labor Day weekend, we spent some time on Monday at Conner Prairie with Austin, Aunt Susan and Grammy Jo. We had lots of fun petting farm animals including a baby calf, sheep, goats, a donkey and baby chicks. Austin and I really liked the animals. We also enjoyed some caramel apples at the end of our visit at the Apple Store.

Hey Goat!! Wake up!
Austin, Austin!! Look at those goats!

Austin really moved the "Giggle-Meter"

Here chicky, chicky!

Wow! Can I hold it?

Giddy Up!

We also played on the playground for a little bit.

Grammy, do you have to hold my hand?

That sure was fun!
