Paint your face Chicago

Well I finally got to ride on a plane again to go see Nana and Papa in Chicago because that is where Papa works. We also got to see Uncle Justin, Aunt Michelle, Aunt Jenna and Jackson. It was was so much fun we got to play in the yard but we kept getting locked off of the deck. When we did make it back inside where we got to play this little piggy with Nana. She had so much fun tickling us.
The next day we were there we went on the train and the L. I got to go downtown Chicago with our wonderful tour guide my cousin Tracy. She gave me and Momma a tour of the city where she took us to the American Girl store. I got my girl a new outfit. I really wanted a new girl with hair but Momma said they were as big as I was so I had to wait a few more years.

While we were touring the city with Tracy everyone else went to watch the Chicago Cubs play (Miles will tell you about that). When we met back up with everyone we went to the Taste of Chicago which I call Paint your face Chicago because my friend on the train told me she was going to get her face painted at Taste of Chicago. Instead of having Paint your face Chicago I got ride the carousel with Daddy.

Papa and Nana had so many parks at there house that we could walk to. As you can see we got a lot of swinging in. From all of us kids swinging with Uncle Justin.

To the zip line with Nana. To perfecting my golf swing with Papa. And swinging from a tree like a monkey. I had a major accomplishment on the day I hung like a monkey, I made it all the way from one end of the monkey bars to the other end all by myself!
Nana and Papa made sure our July 4th celebration was special they took us to a parade! Except they didn't throw beads they handed out candy. We were standing in the back so we didn't get much which was ok with Momma but Papa snuck me a piece of gum. My very first piece of gum to chew. It was a really cool small town parade. After the parade we went back to Nana and Papa's house for naps and a bbq, then we were off to watch the fireworks.

No Words Needed

Cookies for Daddy

Since the summer has arrived Momma has done an excellent job of keeping us busy. One morning she had the wonderful idea to make Daddy cookies and bring them to him at work. We got the ingredients measured out.Isabella was in charge of pouring the oatmeal into the mix. While she was busy taking charge I was busy trying to get into the chocolate chips. But for some reason the bag would not open. I just didn't understand why her oatmeal was open but my chocolate chips were not. Once Momma mixed the cookie batter in her mixer. I convinced her to let me help put the cookies on the pan as I was bound and determined to get some chocolate chips.

Long Time Coming

Yahoo Hip Hip Hooray it is summer today! We have been waiting all year for this. Finally we are able to enjoy the sun and the pool without putting so many clothes on we can hardly move. We realize we have not posted in such a long time but we do promise to do better. So far this summer we have started our summer travels. We went to Orange Beach AL to kick off the summer. We had a lot of fun. I enjoyed going down the water slide at Sandra and Davids condo, umm that would be Aunt Sandra and Uncle David, with Kalee Jo. While I was busy going down the water slide Miles was busy getting used to his floaties. since we have been home he has become quite the brave little boy having no fear when it comes to jumping in the pool. It has become more apparent to Momma that he is all boy.We were only able to play in the sand at the beach for a day because the oil was coming from the BP oil spill. Since we didn't have that much time on the beach I had to make sure I got to throw sand in Miles' face. He was a pretty good sport about it and learned how to get me back pretty quick. Miles wanted to make sure that when Momma started to load the car that he would not be left behind so he took a ride with her on the cart. Lucky for him we took him back home with us.
