4th of July and Tugaloo 2010

Okay. I am trying to catch up a little bit. Here are some pictures from the 4th of July and Tugaloo. Enjoy!

Where Have I Been?

Several people have asked my mommy to tell me to post an update to the blog sometime this century. Now I will try to make some excuses for why it has been so long since I last posted ...

1. It was summer and we were so busy having fun.

2. We were out of town for at least SOME of the days I was not posting to the blog.

3. It was too hot to think/type.

4. My mommy helps me write my posts (I know, BIG surprise!) and she was busy having fun with me ... then busy getting ready for school to start.

5. Oh, and on the topic of my mommy ... she wasn't able to help me with my blog, because she's been feeling very sick because I'm going to be the .........................

So, now I will attempt to post some updates over the next few days/weeks. I will try to catch you up on everything you have missed. I hope this makes you (you know who you are!) happy!

Summer Fun!!

I have been having lots of fun! In the past few weeks, I have started swimming lessons, finished my Soccertots class, gone to the beach, gone to Augusta for a wedding, spent the night at Honey and Pop's house (without Mommy and Daddy for the first time), gone swimming a lot, gone to story time, and the playground to play with friends.

OH! And, I have also learned how to GO POTTY!!!! No more diapers for me!!!

SO MUCH fun stuff for one month!

Getting a gold medal at my last Soccertots class.

Playing dress up and cooking Mommy some dinner.

Building cup castles with Grammy at the beach.

My first bike ride at the beach.

Playing in the ocean with Daddy.

Visiting Thel-ma-ma (aka Mama Thelma).

The other morning when Mommy went to get dressed, she left me with Daddy and Grampa. Her last words before leaving the room were, "Put that toilet paper away!" When she came back there were millions of tiny pieces of toilet paper all over the floor. Grampa and Daddy still sitting right there, watching me. Hehehe. Here is a picture of me organizing my pieces of paper before the major clean-up.

Dressed and ready to go to a wedding.

When we were on the way to the reception, Mommy said we were going to a wedding party, and that we would have cake, and dance, and have fun. I said, "Is there going to be a Yo Gabba Gabba balloon?" Mommy said, "No, probably not." "Well, there should be," I said.

I loved the dancing!

Some dancing.

I'm a ROCK STAR!!!

More Conversations with Katie!

Mommy: I love you SO much!

Katie: I love BUBBLES so much! That's so fun. I play and play and play.

Mommy: Sigh.

At Marilise's house:

Connor: I want to go outside.

Marilise: We can't go outside. It's raining!

Katie: We will never, ever, ever get to play outside again. Ever, EVER, EVERRRRRRR!

Katie: Mommy, what do you want?

Mommy: A kiss!

Katie: No! I can't kiss anymore.

Mommy: Why not?

Katie: Because, I'm a woman!

Mommy: Katie, where's your mirror toy?

Katie: Upstairs ... in my big girl bed.

Mommy: Oh, okay. I'll go get it for you.

Katie, Oh, thank you Mommy, so much. I know I can count on you!

While watching Snow White:

Katie: Snow White sad. Snow White crying. Snow White see a monster. It not a monster. It just the trees. She go to the house with the animals. Snow White eat the apple, no eat the apple Snow White, the ho-hos (the dwarfs) cry, the animals cry. The prince come and wake up Snow White. Snow White happy and say good-bye. Snow White ride the pony ALL day.

Later while still watching Snow White:

At bedtime:

Mommy: I love you. Goodnight.

Katie: Shhh. Close your eyes. I not talk anymore ... I not talk anymore ... I not talk anymore ... I not talk anymore ... I not talk anymore ... I not talk anymore.

Mommy: Okay, okay.

Katie: Okay!

Summertime Dress Up!

Gymnastics Recital

Earlier this month I had my Gymnastics recital. It was so much fun. My family was so proud of me and I was so proud of myself! I even earned a medal! Here are some pictures from the recital:

Bowling!

I went bowling yesterday with Thomas, Andrew, Kat, Matthew, Daddy, and Mommy. It was my first time bowling. I bowled a 94!!! Here are some pictures:

What do you do after you've been bowling for a couple hours and you're just kinda bored?

Here is a video Daddy helping me bowl:

(Well, it was going to be a video, but it was taking 4 hours to upload, so I'll try again later!)
