Remembering

We made luminaries for Grandpa Great (my mommy's grandpa) and Grandma Betty Ann (my daddy's grandma). They both past away from cancer. We couldn't figure out how to get a picture of them showing the glow, but it was still beautiful!

Relay For Life

On August 1st, we took part in Relay for Life at the high school track. We had lots of fun and it was beautiful! The town raised over $80,000 for cancer research. This is right before the lighting of the luminaries. I had a glow stick and was swinging it around.
Mommy and Daddy couldn't quite figure out the camera when it was so dark. Luminaries were spread around the entire track to remember those who didn't beat cancer and those who conquered it. It was beautiful and difficult to describe unless you were there!
This was taken when it was getting late into the night before Daddy took me home. Mommy followed later. We didn't stay at the track because Daddy and his clinic had a race to earn money for the Shriner's Hospital the next morning.
LaLa joined us this year, too. I think she'll come back next year.

Stayin' Cool

This is from earlier this summer. We were at Uncle Doug's awesome work picnic at a really cool park in Eagle (which is by Meridian). It has a water park for little kids and a really fun playground. Aunt Nettie got me this swimming suit for my birthday! It's a two piece. I'm not smoking, although it does go along with my "tough girl" image here. I promise! It's a sucker I won in one of the kids' games. I want to go to this park again with my Daddy. He'd like it, too!

High Powered Cleaning

I decided that Mom is slacking on cleaning and needs a little help. So...I put on my safety goggles and went to work. I don't know why Mommy takes so long. You can swiffer AND vacuum at the same time and it cuts your time in half.
Mattie cheered me on from the sidelines. My vacuum makes noise, so I think she was confused.

Flying Visit to Portland

We went to Portland this weekend for Baby Royce's baby shower--He's coming at the beginning of September. We stayed at Uncle Pat's house. Even though we got there Friday night, had a busy day on Saturday, and left Sunday morning, we had a blast. This is me with Aunty Alison. I was getting very good at saying her name.
This is my new cousin, Addie. She belongs to Pat and Allison. She is about 5 months old and we have about the same attention span. I liked her kennel a lot. I think Mommy and Daddy are thinking about getting one for me!
Here's an updated picture of me with Daddy, Uncle Pat and Uncle Matt. They are funny guys. They are always trying to get me to like one of them more than the other--But...I love them both lots!
The next picture will have Baby Royce in it!
This was one of those examples of our attention spans being the same. :)

Diva In Training

Awhile ago, LaLa painted my toe nails. I was so impressed with the look, I went around telling everyone to look at my feet for a week. When she came tonight, I ran up to her and pointed to my toes and said "Nails? Please La La?" So...LaLa found some and gave me a little spa treatment. Mommy was impressed that I was able to sit that long. My fingernails will have to wait until tomorrow.
I helped out by blowing to get my nails dry.

Sport'n Mama's Shoes

After my bath, Mommy took her shoes and socks off, so I decided to try them out. It was a bit awkward, but I thought I was pretty cool.
These babies are BOATS! I had to get a good, strong base just to stay afloat!
Maybe they're skis. All I need is a rope hooked to Mattie and Jeter and away I'll go!

Before I fell on my face, I had to stop and attempt to tie a shoe.
