Seeing Daddy today....

Hey, I'm super excited...we're going out to brunch with Aunt Mandy & Uncle Dave, Shana, Josh and Grant, and Julie and Jordan, and Tricia & Lisa....fun.................I let Grant have that kiss, and then Papaw Darrell came to pick me up and take me to see Daddy!!!!!!! There are just too many pictures to post here (one of the hazards of visiting Aunt Tricia), but click here and you can see an online album of our week, including our trip to the zoo, Magic House, hockey game, visiting Hannah, going to the Arch and lots of other fun! Good times, but I'm glad to be going back home and back to school...yay!

Headed to Aunt Mandy's.

Well, today we're heading to Aunt Mandy's again, to visit overnight so I can go back home to see Daddy on Sunday........woo hoo!

Here's a fun pic of me wearing Aunt Tricia's reading glasses, and another one of me riding in the car. Fun.

Hockey game.

So, tonight, we went to the St. Louis Blues hockey game....it was the second game of the season and the Blues knocked the living snot out of the Colorado Whatevers. I screamed and cheered, "Go Blues." Then I screamed, "let's go home." And we did.

Also yesterday we went to the Magic House, which is the St Louis Children's Museum, and they have lots of fun stuff there, including an eletrostatic ball that makes your hair go all crazy:
There was a water area and a pretend truck to drive and pretend fishing and we had a great time. Then we went out to Aunt Lisa's mom's house...it was her birthday a few days ago, so we met Lisa's brothers Brett & Jay there, and also Kimmy and Hannah and Missy, and had cake and went out to dinner and played in the yard. Big ole fun.

Zoooooooo!

Yesterday, we went to the Zoo. First, we stopped by Tricia's work to visit with her co-workers..they all seem to remember me from when I was much smaller...hmmm! Then, THE ZOO! We saw a LOT of awesome animals....apes, monkeys, polar bears, penguins, goats and all kinds of cool stuff. Probably my favorite was the butterfly house. My least favorite? A tie between the snakes and the giant tarantula. I got to pet a guinea pig, watch the zookeeper making the meals for the animals, and--yeah--I kissed a goat. Again. (Plus, one little goat butted me in the knees. Hah!) We rode the train and the carousel and....I got to eat a hot dog. How awesome is that?

fun in "the Lou"

Still kicking it here in St. Louis with the aunts, just hanging out, going to the playground, etc. We're headed to the zoo today, so look for some fun pics tomorrow. Meanwhile, here's a fun tub shot for you:

Bounce YOU!

Ok, so I'm in St. Louis, visiting Tricia, Lisa & Chevy & Joe-Joe, and today we went to this very cool place called BounceU. It's just this massive indoor room with 5 or 6 different moon bounces to play on. One was a big old slide (and the lady who was in our room with us told us she puts Pledge on it to make it super-speedy-fast). We went to "open play," but---ha-ha-----we were the ONLY ones there, so just us in the whole big room. We bounced on all the toys and went on the slide about, oh, 500 times. Very cool!

The video is sideways...sorry...but you get the idea.
The room we were in was the red room, and then the lady let me look in the blue room, and all the bounces were deflated! They deflate them every night to clean 'em and then it only takes about 10 minutes in the morning to inflate them all. It was awesome.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Daddy is officially 30 today, so even though I spent the night at Nana Vonnie's last night and I'm on the way to St Louis today for a visit, I just wanted to take a minute to give a shout out to him...I love you Daddy! Happy Birthday!!!

Party time.

Today was my Daddy's 30th birthday...can you believe it? Well, actually, his birthday is tomorrow, but we had a party for him today and my Nana and Mamaw and Papaw and my sissies and Mamaw Frances and aunts and uncles and cousins and lots of folks. We had hamburgers and hot dogs (mmmm, hot dogs!) and it was big fun.

A boyfriend for Lexy?

Today, I went with Aunt Tricia to take a Christmas card photo for Shana and Josh. Their little boy, Grant, is 2, but he's pretty tall and very cute. We played a bit, but I kept one-upping him. When he said he was two-and-a-half, I said, "Well, I'm three-and-a-half." Then he said he could run, so I showed him I can gallop. Hah. Then he tried to kiss me and I acted all mad, but I talked about him all afternoon and he is VERY cute. Give me about 15 years, Grant, and we can talk about another kiss!

I'm back.

Ok, so my Dad's a little busy keeping up with me to worry about helping me post. He's busy, work, National Guard, blah blah blah. Whatever. Anyway, I'm feeding some info to an aunt for a little bit of updating...can't promise how regular it will be, but we'll try.

So, been busy at school, learning stuff. I converse like an 8-year-old. I'm still my charming, funny self. Two weeks ago, Tricia & Lisa came to Kentucky and since Daddy had Army that weekend, I went to Lexington to hang out with those two aunts, plus Aunt Mandy and Uncle Dave, plus Nana Vonnie came to see me, PLUS Chevy and Aunt Mandy's doggie, Forrest. Fun! We went to the park, the farmer's market, had a hotdog and macaroni-n-cheese cookout with Uncle Dave, and played a new game called Hullabaloo. FUN!
Working on some new pics....bear with me!
Peace out, homies!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Just wanted to throw out a happy happy birthday to my Mommy...wish I could be there, Mom! Kisses and hugs and I'll see you soon! I love you!

Here's a little video clip of me writing a note to you. Aunt Tricia had been trying to teach me to cheer for her school by yelling M-I-Z-Z-O-U. But I sat down to write you a note and just kept saying M-I-Z Mommy. Dumb Aunt Tricia didn't realize her camera has no sound with the video, though, so sorry you can't hear it!
