Christmas Card Beach Photos

We took a lot! Only a few really turned out well. Gosh, it's hard to get 3 kids to look at the camera and smile at the same time! Then we find out more than half way through that the camera Brandon was using had a smudge on the lens! ahhhh! So some of these are the camera phone that I was using.

My Week of Secret Pals

We were having a whole week of secret pals which is like secret Santa. When it was my turn to pick I chose a kid named Christen K. 

The first day I had to make an adjective sheet about him we had to list 5 adjective's about them. 

The second day we had to make a decoration.

The third day we had to make a special snack.

The last day we had to make something special for them.

Friday we get to see who our secret pal is.

3. A tree cake,3oreos,and 3 peppermint cookies

Preparing Thanksgiving

Hi I'm Cman. I am preparing our Thanksgiving feast. My favorite part of making the the feast was making the fruit salad. Obear made name tags for everyone and even some food. Dad made the turkey.Obear is making the cornbread casserole. Swany came for the feast and he brought the apple and pumpkin pie!  Swany brought pumpkins so we set them on the table. Piddly fell in love with the pumpkin's right when he saw them. Mom is making stuffing.That's all stay tuned for my next post, bye.

I want to help too!

I want to show you what mama found for me in the box of hand-me-downs from my brothers.

A Charleston shirt! We think Swany brought it back one year for the boys?

Now I want you hear me talking. I now repeat almost anything somebody asks me to say and have my favorite words too!

    Aren't I getting so big?

My Bike Ride to School

A picture of us before the ride

I got sent home with a slip to bike or walk to school for a day. That is when I got to bike to school with dad. So we woke up at 6:00am and started to bike at 6:30am. It was dark out that was not a problem.{3 1/2 miles}  I knew it was going to be a long ride but it was actually pretty short ,but my legs were tired. We rode with our next door neighbor.                                            

The New House

It's not perfect but it's very very good!

What is the most important feature? The neighborhood full of kids!!

No, maybe it's the backyard where I can kick them out to!

Kitchen of course!

Playroom! Wahoooooo! 

Big Boys sharing a Big Room. We need Bunk Beds!

My Craft Room/Guest Room/Gamma's Room

P'Diddy's looks the same.

Master Bedroom. Yes we get purple walls.

BackYard!!!!

Only thing this house is missing is a screened porch. Going to miss that!

Well we are officially in now!
I'm sore and tired!
Will update photos as I get rooms done!

oh and P'Diddy has NOT been a good helper at unpacking...but least he has found some new things to play with...

Our Trip to Iowa

Waiting at the airport

O'Bear
It was our first airplane ride. When we landed in Chicago Gamma picked us up. There was so many yummy restaurants. Rudy's enchiladas was so so awesome and so good. We went to our friend's house (P, F, & R!) three times where we got to play Wii and we went to Monkey Joes with them where there is jump castles and obstacles in the jump castles.

With P, F, & R!

Swany let us do slip-n-slide and we went fishing on the pond. With Drew I got to play World of Warcraft. I got to play around with Uncle. Gamma made me a cake for my birthday. It looked so cool.

C'Man

When we were on the plane we got a drink. We got Sprite. When Gamma picked us up we went to one of Mom's old friend's house. We went to a lot of yummy restarurant's like Rudy's\ Roy's\ Happy Joes. When 

we went to Whitey's I got some awesome Smurf  ice cream it had marshmellows in it. At Happy Joes O'Bear and I got a 100 tickets.

With cousins G & A!

I really loved seeing P & F again. We went to Monkey Joes for R's Birthday where we had fun. I was looking forward to seeing my cousins G & A and we went to Build-A-Bear and I made a bear and I named him Camo.

The cake that Gamma made O'Bear was angelfood cake. Drew made his famous pizza. I had veggie and pepperoni. On the slip-n-slide I made a big splash. Uncle took a lot of pictures of me. Swany took us to Captain America the new movie. It was fine. (O'Bear says its awesome!)

More cousins!

P'Diddy
Mama was so excited to take me to Iowa. It was weird that I had never been there before. Everyone was nervous about the airplane and how I would do. One the way there we were lucky to have an empty seat next to us. On the way home, mama said it started out bad until I nursed to sleep. Love my milk!

They took me to all their favorite places. The Children's Museum, Niabi Zoo, Rocket Park, John Deere Commons where I rode on tractors. I even got soaking wet playing in the fountain at the new Rock Island park which was right on the Mississippi River that I finally got to see.

I got to meet a lot of family members. Papa, Dad's aunt & cousins, my cousins, my aunt Jen. Everyone thought I was so cute! Swany was my favorite because he fed me. Gamma liked to cuddle and kiss me...when I let her. It was nice seeing my Uncles again too.

We have a lot of photos! If Uncle ever sends us his camera photos we will put some more up! An Iowa part 2...:)
