Mommy woke me up early today.  We hate doing that, but sometimes you have to do it.  We went to see Johnny Only this morning.  We haven't done anything fun in awhile so off we trekked.  I really didn't want to be there though.  I kept saying "bye bye."  We saw our friends Andrew and Ashley, Michelle and Corrine, Cookie and Michelina.  Afterwards we ran over to Sam's Club to meet up with Lynn so she could borrow a few t-shirts for a dance tonight.  We had pizza and lemonade and hung out with Lynn for a short bit.  Then we ran back to find fruit snacks but we couldn't find them.  Oops, maybe next time. 

Unfortunately, we didn't go to see my new sister.  Grandpa Skully is in the hospital because he had surgery last week and got an infection.  He was also diagnosed with colon cancer.  We hope he feels better soon!!  I was a really good girl at the hospital.  I really just wanted to run around, but Mommy and Daddy said no, we had to visit.  Hopefully he'll be home soon and the next time we go to the hossy will be to meet my sister. 

Since we had such a busy day yesterday, we are staying lazy today!  We got up at 10am and then I had presents to open.  A few lingering birthday presents from Grammie and the presents from Jacob's Aunt Betty from Christmas.  I love my new baby doll.  I've been carrying it everywhere! 

This morning, we didn't have a chance to do anything fun because as soon as we woke up (Daddy included) we had to pile into the car and head out the door.  We had to be in Rochester for Jacob's 5th birthday party.  He and all his friends from school went bowling!  I haven't bowled in a really long time but it was fun.  I only bowled a few frames but I really enjoyed pushing the ball down the lane and watching it.  Mommy let me push is once by myself and it took FOREVER to get to the pins.  When it did finally get down there, it hit the pins and STOPPED!!!!  Grandpa Ron really enjoyed watching all of us kids bowl since he's such a good bowler too.  Maybe one day I can take Grandpa John bowling... 

I spent a lot ot time being shy and a little cranky because it was afterall, nap time.  But I didn't do any sleeping today.  I played on the motorcycle game and checked out the guns for the shooting game and then ran around with Grammie.  She gave me a really really cool new Tinkerbell doll from Disney!  I love it!!  Mommy too because her clothes don't come off.  I'm never far from my Tinkerbell doll. 

When we got back to Jacob's house we really didn't have a lot of time to play.  Everyone had a cup of coffee and then we piled into the car again.  This time for just a short drive to the arena to watch the Amerks play.  I was really close to falling asleep too but not this time.  I got to walk all the way to the arena and I got to walk around and I gave the ticket guy my ticket to scan and then we found our seats.  That didn't last long.  I had so much energy (mommy has no idea where it came from) all I wanted to do was walk.  Mommy let me for a little bit and then Daddy let me for a little bit and then Grammie let me too.  Then during the 3rd period Mommy got mean and made me sit with them.  We payed for my ticket so I had to use it for a little bit.  Plus, Mommy wanted me to just relax!!  The Amerks ended up winning too.  Uncle Keith said we HAD to visit more often because they won.  This season hasn't been so hot for the Amerks.  Better luck next year. 

We said our goodbyes and went to get Vicky from Jacob's house.  It's always sad to say bye bye to my Grammie and Grandpa.  I'm really excited though to say that we'll see them in 3 weeks for Zia's arrival.  I'm going to stay with Grammie while Mommy and Daddy are away for a few days with my new sister.  It's going to be fun. 

The ride home was pretty yucky.  I did a lot of yelling and talking and Mommy and Daddy were really looking forward to me falling asleep but it took a really long time.  Once I finally did, it didn't last long.  I woke up crying and we were still an hour away from home.  I was just really uncomfortable in my car seat and wanted to lay down.  We watched Lilo and Stitch for a little bit but I really just wanted to sleep but couldn't lay down.  Mommy said I outgrew sleeping in my carseat a long time ago.  Mommy felt really bad for me because I was so upset but there wasn't anything they could do for me.  As soon as we got home, I had a diaper change and right to bed!  I woke up whimpering at 3am for just a minute but then went right back to sleep. 

"Reverend" Billy (  ) came over for a visit and dinner tonight.  While Mommy was getting ready, Jenna came over to ask if I could play.  Since Mommy couldn't go outside to play with us she said Jenna could come inside and play.  We played with Vicky and my stage and my kitchen and danced.  I showed her everything.  Check out the photos for some of the fun.  I even let Mommy take a shower since Jenna was here.  Can you believe that??  I've never let Mommy take a shower without an audience unless I was sleeping. 

Billy and Daddy played with his "tar" (translation from Mommy::  guitar) and hung out. 

After breakfast, Mommy felt really lazy, so we didn't do anything.  Just hung out and read books and watched tv.  Later in the afternoon, we got dressed and went to the grocery store.  I got a car cart, bananas, cookie, pretzels...  it was fun.  Mommy even let me run around towards the end as long as I behaved and listened. I did.  I'm doing much better about going out and paying attention to Mommy and following some rules. 

The weather outside was really really nice again today.  I didn't have to wear layers for once!!  Mommy had a Zia appt this morning but I decided to sleep in.  Daddy and I hung out until Mommy got home and then Mommy and I ran out the door to our friend's house.  We haven't played with Miss Melissa and Braedon in awhile so it was time!!!  Boy, you should have seen the mess Braedon and I made.  Then add the cracker crumbs everywhere...  OY!!!  After we had a bite to eat and played hard, we stayed to help clean up so Melissa could vaccuum real quick.  We are sorry for the mess!!  (it wasn't totally my fault) 

Braedon and I did a lot of talking and screaming.  Check out the photos for some of the fun.  We used the slide a lot.  That's a great toy they have!  My daddy would be really proud of me too because of my golf swing.  I kept calling it hockey though.  Mommy thought that was funny.

When I got home, I took a long nap and didn't get a chance to play outside because it was getting late and all our friends were inside already.  Maybe next week when the weather warms up again?  We shall see. 

Thanks again Melissa and Braedon for letting us play!!! 

Today really turned out to be a nice, warm day.  We didn't go out this morning like we had planned but we had fun at home.  After naptime we got dressed and stopped at the post office and a business stop for Daddy and then we went to the park to play.  We were at the playground at MacArthur School and it's designed for pre-schoolers like me.  It was the perfect size and there were no big kids running around.  Of course, we don't live over there anymore.    Mommy said we are going back again.  You aren't supposed to play there during school hours though when school is in session so we'll have to pay attention to the clocks. 

Mommy is really happy with me today because I actually sat at the table and ate breakfast AND dinner.  I wasn't interested in lunch though.  Mommy said that's fine because I ate so good the other times.  New rule::  NO TV/computer until after we are done eating.    Now that the weather is nice I don't need to be sitting in front of that "stupid" thing as Mommy calls it.  Of course, she's just as addicted to it as I am. 

Oh, and real quick... Grandpa Skully is sick.  Please think about him and hope that everything turns out ok.  We don't really know   what is going on, Grandma Patty is going to give us more updates in a few days.
