on to the circus

We started the night out with a big hot dog. I was a little unsure about what was going on, so I just sat in my seat and ate my hot dog.
It was soooo good.
Then we had a chance to go to the floor, so I warmed up to the idea of the circus. By the time we got back to our seats I couldn't wait for the show to start. I clapped and waved to all the performers. I also did a little dancing to the awesome music they played.
It was so much fun to experience this with grandpa.
Mom got me some cotton candy, but I was way more interested in my new friends' (triplet girls who sat next to us) popcorn. They were nice enough to share their popcorn with me...even though I probably ate more than they did. It was my first bit of popcorn and even though mom and grandma were a little nervous (something about a choking hazard???) I was just fine.
I was pretty excited on the way home. Grandma/Grandpa got me this wand that lights up and its been entertaining me for hours.
I don't want you to think we forgot about Isabelle (it's just that she sleeps so much, she didn't really make it into many pictures this weekend), but she did get some QT with daddy while I was at the circus. I think they had a good time too.

fair

The cars were my favorite ride...I went on them again and again and again.
I did take a break to try out the airplane...A little scary at first...
I at least mixed it up once and tried the back seat (but I wanted the same car every time:) My favorite thing was probably the bounce house, but it was too hard to take a picture in there because I was all over the place! I worked up a sweat in that thing. Then we got ice cream and that made it so much better. What a wonderful day!

Fun Filled Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend. I spent the night at grandma & grandpas on Friday and got to visit with my Aunt Meg, Uncle Bob and cousin Hunter (well second cousin, but I really don't understand what all that means so I just call him cousin). Then on Sat. we went to the fall festival parade and the fair. Then, as if that weren't enough, I went to the circus on Sunday with my grandma, grandpa, and mommy (daddy stayed home with Isabelle:)


I was a little hesitant at first, but then I warmed up to the idea of all the people...and of course the candy helped:)
It was fun to wave at all the floats going by. I even got to see my friend, Ava, who was in the parade.
Michael (aka BFF), Jenny, and Emma even met us for the parade. Emma was full of smiles!
After a while, I was a little bored with the parade and thought going through grandma's purse might be more fun...

Elizabeth at Gymnastics

I have graduated to the 2s class at gymanstics and love it! I used to have to go to the "mom and tots" class, but my teacher, Miss Jackie, said I was ready for the 2s!!! This is our warm up:)
I especially like swinging from the bars and I haven't run away from my teacher since the first class. She even sent me a note in the mail telling me what a good job I was doing listening and staying with the class. I'm glad because I've been working real hard on that!
I used to need help with this, but now I can do it all by myself.
I still need help with the balance beam, but I wait patiently for my teacher to get to me.

August Pics

Mom has been busy so she hasn't taken the time to share many details on my blog. I guess I understand...but we have had a busy August. Recently my grandma turned 60 and we celebrated by having a party (I know...it is hard to believe she is 60, she doesn't look a day older than 40:) Here I am with my cousin, Addyson, and Aunt Alissa!

Sister has grown quite a bit! She is already over 9 lbs. and smiles all the time! She even giggled in her sleep the other day. Mom says she is sleeping really well at night! I like to give her kisses and share my toys with her...I even like to play with her baby toys every once in a while...and I sometimes make daddy pretend to feed me like a baby and then burp me. I can do a great impression of Isabelle's burps.
I tried corn on the cob for this first time. I'm not sure which I liked better...the corn or the butter...probably the butter!
We spent lots of time at my grandma and grandpa's house this August. Grandpa just finished a 3 season room and Uncle Eric and Aunt Alyssa visited as well. Also, we don't travel too far because baby sister HATES her car seat...she screams whenever we have to ride in the car, so grandma and grandpa's is about as far as we go right now:) Here Isabelle is hanging with grandpa.
It was so much fun meeting Addyson. It's hard to believe she is just 3 weeks older than Isabelle! She is absolutely adorable, but I think she was a little overwhelmed by me. I tend to scream a lot and baby sister is used to it...but I don't think Addyson liked it very much! I can't wait to see them again....

Here I am with Uncle John and Grandma's birthday bash! I had a blast!

Sisters...

I just love my baby sister!

Visiting Emmie and Mary

We have had a fun week! On Monday we had friends come over to play, on Wednesday we visited Emmie and Mary, and today we went to the park! Here I am with baby Mary. I like to say, "Hi Mary!" when I see her. She is so cute:)
Can you believe that Isabelle will be this big in a few months! Baby Mary is just 2 months older than Isabelle and she is already sitting up like a big girl.
Mom is usually the one taking the pictures, so it was nice to have Emmie around to take a few pics of the three of us:)
