8-2-08 We all went swimming today at the pool at Bailey's grove.. I impressed mommy and daddy because before we were there I was asking if we were going to the pool as last year that had the basketball hoop... yes there is a basketball hoop and of course the sandbox that I love to play in. I loved swimming with daddy...
8-1-08 Daddy and Mommy took Peyton and I out for dinner tonight.. we went to Safees which is not really a kids place, but let me tell you we had all the treatment! All the waitress loved Peyton and I; and i think all the 'older' people loved to see us because everyone smiled and said HI on their way out. I even saw Santa!!!! I was so excited and daddy told me he was down here having dinner and checking on the kids in the area, so I need to be good. He was not dressed in a red suit and is beard was a bit shorter (still white) and he had his round belly ;) After we ate the Manager took me out to feed the ducks and geese in the pond of the deck..... it was so nice and it was nice for mommy because this was the last thing she had received from Papa Lou. I think she misses him so much more than people know; she tells me stories all the time about him.
7-31-08 Oh where do I start about today????? It started off good and I was so excited to go to Mimi's house. Once we got to Mimi's house I was a good girl until mimi's phone kept ringing...... so mimi hear Peyton crying very hard, when she came around the corner she saw that I had been holding Peyton quite hard to try to get her to stop crying, but quickly realized that she was bleeding ;) Yes, so as Mimi came around the corner she saw this and saw my pushing Peyton away from me and soon realized it was because she was bleeding. Blood went all over Mimi's WHITE carpet...... not too sure where the blood was coming from except from somewhere in her mouth ;) So the phone rings after this and Mimi is talking and said to me that the phone was for me; I said no. Mimi tried again and I proceeded to tell Mimi no because mommy is going to say mean words at me..... Mimi got off the phone and goes why didn't you want to talk? I then asked if it was my mommy and then said she was going to say mean things to me ;)
Mimi told me when I woke up from my nap that I was such a good girl and I helped with so many things today and I told her that we had two issues .... I kicked Peyton in the head, and pushed her into the wall....... it sounds more harsh than it was (I think)
7-28-08 RELAXING DAY! we did nothing today, but did venture out later tonight.
7-27-08 We started the day at 8:00AM with breakfast at the hotel and then off to the cottage again. I miss Papa a lot he was suppose to be here, but had to go work.
7-26-08 We left early this morning to head up to Aunt Marcias cottage.... I was so excited because I kept asking every 10 minutes if we were there yet! At one point I was not listening to mommy so KK pulled the truck over to the side of the road..... let me jsut say I have not heard her raise her voice like that nor have I seen that look! I quicly apologized to Peyton and we were on our way.
We ate food and swam and went for 2 boat rides! It was so much, but I was not to excited at sitting in the front of the boat because we were going sooooooo fast. I was always a bit nervous, but after a minute or two I was better; I needed to sit by mommy also.
Around 9PM we left and went to our hotel where we went swimming in the hottub for our bath ;) Peyton and I crashed right after that!
7-25-08 My surprise today with Mimi was going to a horse farm (my second this week) and doing a handling class with minature horses. I loved it! I worked with the Mare and she was so sweet... I really wanted to play with Dennis (a colt) he was such a cute baby, but he is not trained very well, so I could not work with him. There was also a stallion there that I pet and talked too ;) My teacher told Mimi that I did even better than what her 5 year old son does and she was so surprised becuase she has not worked with anyone as young as me!!!!! It really is in my genes... watch out family.
7-24-08 Today I went to Miss Amy's while Peyton went with Mimi.... It was kind of funny because mommy put me in the truck and we were driving off when I asked where Peyton was (Mimi stayed in her car until mommy and I pulled out, so I would not see her), mommy just kept avoiding the question ;) Once I got to Miss Amy's I was fine and did not ask anything else. Mimi has a special surprise for me tomorrow and Peyton will be at Miss Amy's without me......
7-23-08 Gigi came this morning to play while mommy went to work; she dropped Peyton off at Miss Amy's. Around lunch time KK came to get me and I went to the Grand Arabian horse farm on East Paris. I was sooooooooooooo excited! This is just mt bestest thing ever. Horses are my favorite and I am following in mommy's shoes. Papa and KK know the daughter-in- law of the owners of the horse farm, so she invited us to come out there with her daughter Mary. I play with Mary at StarBucks and the library when Papa has me..........
The other girls including Mary were a bit nervous and of course I was not, so the horses just kept coming up to me; I kept asking KK why they were not going to see the other girls and KK said it was because I was not nervous and I have the LOVE of horses in my blood. We saw the mommy's and there were 7 babies; we also met both stallions and they were so sweet.
7-22-08 I did not take a nap today for Grandma Brower! Mommy and daddy were not too happy with me; they knew how the night would go.
7-21-08 Papa left agian last night.... I said that I do not miss him because I gave him a hug and kiss, so that makes me feel better.
Mommy took us out for ice cream tonight....
7-20-08 We went to church today and I got to see Auntie Katie. I sure love my auntie Katie. I had a good time at church also..... I was suppose to help mommy lay our grass seed today, but I had to go take a nap, so daddy helped mommy after he put me down. I woke to see hat it was done without me.......
Tonight we went to meet Papa and KK for dinner because Papa leaves tomorrow again.... When we got to Big Bobs Pizza I saw my Mimi, G-Papa, and Grandma Cuddohy. I sat with them while they finished dinner. I even had my Papa get some popcorn for G-Papa because he was all out...... after that I made sure from mommy that noone was upset that I sat with 'them' before I came to sit with moomy, Papa, and KK. After dinner we went and walked down by Reeds lake. We then went to Papas house for a bit. I recorded a message on his phone that said..... "Papa I love you, you are my best friend, and I love you very much". Mommy figured out how to set it as his ring tone ;)
7-19-08 We went to Hailee's house tonight!!! I love my Hay Bug..... We had so much fun jumping on the moon bounce in her basement and eating popcorn and cupcakes. Both of us decided not to eat any pizza, but of course had room for the junk ;) We took a bath together because Hailee decided to poop in her big girl underwear... I just had to join her. It made our mommy's think of Florida. We then fell asleep together in bed... I did not have a nap, so once I crashed I was out! On the way home I thought that Hailee was with us in the car... poor mommy had to hold my hand the entire way home from Byron Center to Ada....
7-17-08 Mimi took us to Ada park to play today. Peyton did not seem to be feeling well though, so I think we had to leave a little early ;)
Tonight we went to pick Papa up at the airport.... we went and had dinner with him after. I just could not get enough of him. I said I was going to be the first one to get a hug from him and I did. I also had the entire week to pick out my shoes; I wore my 'blue' princess heels (they are dress up shoes), mommy told me that I needed to pack an extra pair in case my feet started to hurt, so I packed my 'yellow' princess heels. I changed from the 'blue' to the 'yellow' once we left the airport.
7-15-08 Mommy signed me up for dance class again at CDC (Caledonia Dance Center). It was funny becuase mommy tole me that she and Aimee were talking to the Director about recital practice and somehow it came up about me being in with the older girls and everyone at the table started talking about it. There were 6 Instructors there and they ALL remember that happened... I don't think they remember me except for my old teacher, but she was not there that day and the director was not there, but yet everyone was talking about that scare! Be ready for this year ;) Anyway Hailee and I are in the same class again and we are doing tap and ballet on Saturday mornings at 9:50AM... early!
7-14-08 Mommy stayed home because Peyton is sick
7-10-08 I was a bit of a handful for Mimi today..... after I woke from my nap though I was a lot better and I was able to go to the zoo tonight. Daddy had his annual GFS zoo outing; they close the zoo to the public at 6:00 PM for only GFS employees and their family. It was a ton of fun! We had a cookout there and saw all the animals... they were all active and a bit grouchy because they are use to getting fed at 6:00 PM. I met a new friend and her name is Bailey.. she is the daughter of one of daddy's friends and mommy knows her mommy.
7-9-08 Today is my last day with Papa for about 3 weeks... he called mommy last night to tell her he was leaving on Thursday for Louisiana. I had a great day with him, but was really acting up when mommy was there and then I jsut wanted KK to do everything for me. When I was put into the car I lost it..... supposidly it was over my seatbelt, but on the way home I started crying about Papa..... mommy thinks it is because it set in to a point that I was not going to see him for awhile. I do not understand time, but when I hear mommy and KK talk that Papa will be gone for awhile I do know that means a long time ;) I did get to call him on the phone and I told him that I was going to miss him and then started crying.... I told him I loved him also.
On another note mommy started school this week; congrats mommy!
7-7-08 I woke this morning to a surprise of Grandma Brower at my new house! I have so much fun with Grandma and listen for the most part ;) Mommy came home early today because she had to take Peyton to a doctors appointment and I cried so hard when she left. She pulled out of the driveway while I stood on the porch and just cried...my arms reaching for her, and she pulled away! Grandma tried to make me feel better, but it didn't work and I just wanted mommy..... Grandma I love you, but just wanted my mommy ;) I ended up snuggling with Grandma and fell asleep on the couch. When I woke up Mommy was home...... Later on we went to have ice cream with Gigi. I always order my own and this time I ordered banilla (vanilla) with chocolate; now it is not vanilla with chocolate sauce or sprinkles, but a scoop of banilla and a scoop of chocolate. I told Gigi the banilla ice cream was Papas favorite and the chocolate was mine.
7-6-08 I stayed home with Daddy this morning while mommy went to church.... a little daddy bonding time with us 'little' girls. Once mommy came home it seemed like everyone came over and we had a big party! Well not a party, party, but a work party ;) Mimi was doing the floors; G-Papa was cutting down trees with his chainsaw and hanging blinds in the bedrooms; Daddy was clearing the branches and helping G-Papa hang blinds, Papa was clearing branches, working on the garage door and hanging smoke detectors; KK was chopping, weeding and jsut doing yard maintenance, Mommy was helping Papa with the garage door, and holding Peyton when she was not sleeping. We just had so many people over helping...oh and myself you ask. I was everywhere but mostly outside helping KK replant things and working on the walk way ;) I was a busy girl and decided I was not going to need a nap because there was jsut too much to do!
