Arkansas Birthday Party!

This year, I get to have TWO birthday parties!!! One was in Arkansas, and the other is in South Carolina (just across the state line from where we live in North Carolina).

We had my Arkansas birthday party at Lokomotion. Mommy wasn't super happy with the service, but I was really happy to see my friends and to ride the go carts!

Grammy made me an awesome Barbie cake!


She also made me Princess cupcakes!


And, she made mini cupcakes that spelled my name, along with a heart shaped cake that I got to decocrate all by myself!!


Here I am with my friend Abri and some of the presents I got!


My friends Hallie and Keirsten were very good at helping me open my presents!!!


My friends Jenn and Preston got me a Froggie Pillow Pet! I've always wanted a Pillow Pet!


I don't look super excited about these Hello Kitty pajamas I got from Donna, but I really do love them! (I was just frustrated because I wanted to open more presents instead of pose for pictures!!!)


I got LOTS of Barbie stuff (some of the pictures turned out blurry, but here are a few)...



Grammy gave me lots of clothes and a Zhu Zhu Pets game!


Mommy gave me a Phineas and Ferb, AND a Perry the Platypus!


AND I got my very own suitcase!!!


And I got to drive a go kart by myself!


It was a fun birthday! Hopefully the NC party today will be just as fun!!!

It's my birthday!!!

Today, I'm turning 4 years old! Mommy brought me to Arkansas to see my Grammy and to have a birthday party with my Arkansas friends. Yesterday, I wore the awesome Hello Kitty Halloween dress that my Grammy made for me and Mommy took some pictures. Grammy is very good at making me dresses! I like to wear them all the time!!!

Here I am in the rocking chair.


And here I am showing some attitude!

And a couple in the porch swing (my favorite place!!!)

Great Wolf Lodge

Mommy took me to a super awesome place called Great Wolf Lodge for a little girl's getaway.

I was kinda scared of this bear, but I let Mommy take my picture anyway.


It was very pretty there. I really liked throwing pebbles in this fountain.


And of course, I had to show off some of my modeling moves in front of the big stone wolves.



The awesome thing about this place, is they have a water park! I really loved riding the waterslides, but they were very wet, so mommy didn't get any pics of that.
Here I am in the wave pool.


And this is me in the kiddie pool.


We had tons of fun in the pool, but when we were done being water logged, we explored the Lodge on a Magic Quest!
Here I am with my magic wand.

And of course, I had awesome wolf ears and a tail!


Here's my friend Adam teaching me how to light up the crystals with my magic wand.

It was soooo cool!

We're definitely going to go back to Great Wolf Lodge again. There was so much to do. They even had a place where I could do a project! (Mommy calls it crafts, but I call it projects!)

Florida trip!

Last month, Mommy took me to Florida to visit her friend Christy and her family. We had sooo much fun!

We went to Sea World on Saturday. Mommy said most people go there to see animals, but I really liked the rides the most.

Here I am with Isabella on the carousel.


And here I am riding the roller coaster! (It was my favorite! Mommy loves roller coasters, and so do I!!!)


This ride looked like a giant crab and took us up high in the air!


On Sunday, we went to Islands of Adventure!
Here is Mommy and me at the entrance.


I loved the Dr. Seuss portion of the park! We got to meet the Grinch! (I was a little scared of him, but was brave for this picture...)


They even had a Caro-Seuss-el to ride!


The roller coaster was in the Harry Potter portion of the park. (Mommy's favorite!) It looked like a Hippogriff. I haven't seen Harry Potter, so I don't know what that means, but I do know it was FUN!


On Monday, we went to a park to play that had a little beach area next to it. Here I am showing some attitude for the camera!


And here I am with my mommy. (We're kinda squinty...it was super sunny that day!)


Monday night, we went to Downtown Disney. I loved the Lego store! All of these figures are made of Legos! (Well...except ME, of course!!)


It was a VERY fun trip, and we're very thankful that Mommy has such an awesome friend that lets us come visit!

First Day at New Preschool

I started at a new preschool today! I really liked it, and am looking forward to making new friends.
Mommy thinks I looked very grown up carrying my own things to the car all by myself. She doesn't even walk me into class...they have people meet us at the car, and they walk me in.




I think it's going to be a fun place to go!

First Big Charlotte Event

Before we ever moved here, Mommy found an awesome website called CharlotteMommies.com. It's been a great way for her to meet other mommies near where we live. The first day after we got to NC, they had a big party, and Mommy and I went.
They had a fun bouncy house, crafts for me to do, face painting, dancing, and all sorts of fun stuff.
Here I am bouncing:


And here I am dancing:


They also had some people there called Cold Blooded Encounters. I didn't like them at all! They had several reptiles and amphibians, and a tarantula. The tarantula freaked me out, and I screamed and cried. Here is a picture of me trying to force a smile after several minutes of uncontrollable crying from fear of the giant spider:


Even with the tarantula incident, it was a fun time!

A BIG Move!

Last week, we moved all the way across the country to a new home in North Carolina. It's a VERY big house, and I love having so much room to play! We were in the car for a very, very long time driving from our old home to our new. As you can see from this picture, I was exhausted by the time we got to the house.
This is the very first picture of me, Mommy, and Brian (who will officially be my daddy soon!) in front of our new home.
