First Party at the Brown House

Hi!!!!!

We've been working very hard on our new house for the last couple of months and we were finally able to invite people over for the first time.  It was my sister's birthday.  I'll put up some house pictures at a different time, but for now, here are some family pictures:

Here is my cousin Reese.  She's such a ham!

This is the fire pit I helped mommy and daddy build before the party.  We had a huge campfire!

This is actually my picture day outfit the week before the party. 

 Me and my mommy :-)

 My cousins and I got Grandma H. to jump on the trampoline.  We totally ambushed her!

This is Kendyl, Lexis, Me, and Reese.  What a great picture.  We had so much fun playing together all weekend!

Here is Cora's birthday cake... you guessed it... full of horses.

Happy 11th birthday Cora!!

 Here is crazy daddy with crazy Uncle Pat!

Check out this mushroom Grandpa H. found in our yard.  It was like a foot tall!  Uncle P. looked it up and it is probably poisonous, so I can only look at it.

 

I'm also glad that Uncle Eddie and my cousin Alex was able to come over for a little bit.

Here's my Grandma and Grandpa Opatrny!

Here is my Grandma and Grandpa Hartbarger.  They stayed the night and hung out for a while the next day.  Grandma makes some really awesome zucchini bread!

After everyone left, mommy told me I had stinky feet.  She found me here in the bathroom shortly after.  This is now my daily ritual after I get home from school.

 Yes. I am actually sleeping in this photo.  I was on the couch sleeping, but apparently I fell off and landed here for a few minutes before mom and dad took me to bed.

Stay tuned....

Summer Break?

Hello... if anyone is out there! It's been too long since our last update. What happened to summer vacation? Well, mom has been swamped with homework and clinic work and dad has been going crazy trying to buy us a new house. So I've been continuing "school" throughout the summer. Mom and I got to hang out all day together every Wednesday though, so I managed to do some fun things through all the craziness.

Here we are swimming in the little pool at Pioneer Waterland! I loved this place and can't wait to go again.

It was a hot day, so splashing in the pool and sliding down the duck, dinosaur, and elephant slides into the water was very refreshing.

I went to Lake Farm Park with Mom, Garrett, and Becky one day. I got to see the cows and was in line to milk one, but I decided not to at the last second. I'll try again next time.

We drove the tractor at Farm Park too. There was a whole big play area inside with many cool activities like Bottle Cap Plinko!

I went to the beach of Lake Erie one day. Mom says I'm too brave because I wanted to go out to swim by myself. That's not safe!

When we were at Farm Park, Garrett and I took a break to watch the fountain. Awe... aren't we super cute?

I pet the goat.

Big smiles... cheese!

I got to play around in the backyard for some of the very last times at the yellow house. Trucks, 4-wheeling, princess car, trampoline, sprinkler, pool... We won't be living there anymore, but I had some great memories!

Nice action shot, Mom!

Another Lake Erie pose.

Me and my handsome daddy. So there we have it.... a very fast summer wrap-up! Right now we are hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa O. for a little bit until we can move into the new brown house! Hurry Up! See Ya! Love, J

May Update

Hello! We've had some pretty interesting experiences lately. Since the last blog, we've had Easter, a wedding, a couple birthday parties, and I got my very first (mommy says last) ambulance ride.

Here is one of my favorite things. I am a climber and a jumper, so it's nice that Daddy let's me stand on his belly, then jump down on him.

Um... so I dropped the darn egg in the blue water. Now what?

That's it... I'm just gonna get it myself.

Like my first ever French Braid?

Garrett and I had a recent play date. We're so adorable together.

This is one of the last rides I got in the old Grand Prix. Here are some of my words to mommy about the accident: "Mommy go big boom. Ouchie - Mommy hurt neck. Kiss. All better mom. No more booms. Where car? What happened? Green car all done. I want ride in ambulance mom!"

Pretty flowers. These don't stay bloomed for very long so I have to stop and smell them every time I see them.

Daddy and I are riding on my alphabet train.

And here we are all spiffy for a wedding.

Here I am with mom right before we left.

I took this picture of mommy and daddy. Daddy helped hold the camera straight, but I snapped the button. Did a good job if I might say so myself.

The maid of honor gave me her bouquet.

Of course here I am shaking my groove thang.

Like my pink extensions? Hey mom... quick take a picture of me with Nookie.

You too Charlotte... don't be shy.

I said COME ON CHARLOTTE!

Fine, I'll try Nookie again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope to update you again soon with some new exciting news.

For Those About To Rock!!!!!

We Salute You! Like my AC/DC shirt? This one is for daddy.



So I recently went to Chuck E. Cheese and discovered this awesome slide...



Then after sliding 20 times in a row, I discovered that I can crawl through all the tunnels up at the ceiling. About 20 minutes later...



This was super fun until I came out at this cage and couldn't find my way back. Mom had to squeeze up into the tunnels to get me.



Here I am sporting daddy's winter hat. I like hats. I'll wear mommy's later.



But for now, I'll stop and read a book with daddy.



Oh, and we went to the Natural History Museum a few weeks ago. OMG can you believe what is going on behind me?



Not to mention they have a giant crocodile. Good thing he is behind the glass because I'd really like to pet him.



Cool mom! It's the skeleton from my "Spooky Wheels on the Bus" book!



"oo oo ah ah"



This was my relax spot. Seeing all the big animals and dinosaurs made me need a little break.


Then we went into the Planetarium. I walked back and forth singing "Twinkle Twinkle" as loudly as I could. I mean come on, it was the PLANETARIUM!



Last weekend we drove to Uncle Pat's house and celebrated Reese's 4th birthday. My cousin Lexis and I are playing cards... cuz that's what the big people always do.



Uncle Pat has a giant trampoline. Look at Reese up in the sky! I went up in the sky too, when she came down.



Look at my cute cousin Kendyl. We were taking turns sliding. Grandma, maybe this picture of Kendyl will work for your frame.



I love the slides at Grandma and Grandpa's house. I only have a little one at home.



Haha, we look like little homeless girls all bundled up around a "fireless" garbage can fire.



Here is a possible preview for somebody's upcoming 2nd birthday...... maybe.
