My Big Trip

Too Much

My mom has been so busy, sometimes I forget who she is! Too much has happened since I turned 2. I told my mom that she had better help me tell all of the fun stories and show some pictures before everyone forgets who I am. She promised that she would do her best and we will be writing a new message with pictures of my first BIG trip!

I'm 2 I'm 2!!!

We have been so busy and I haven't been able to write in a long time but I am 2!!!! In January was my daddy's birthday, and it snowed lots and lots. We were going to do something fun but it was too scary outside to drive, so we stayed home and had tacos with Desi, Aunt Amber and Uncle Nate. Mommy made daddy a Spiderman cake (Hi it's Kim... I need to explain... if you watch Spiderman 2 the neighbor girl asks Peter Parker if he wants some Chocolate cake... John brought to our attention that it was a YELLOW cake with CHOCOLATE frosting. So when I asked him what kind of cake he wanted, he said Spiderman cake... so that is what it will forever be known as!)and it was very yummy!
My birthday is only a few days after daddy's and this year was on a friday, so mommy said we would have it on Saturday so my cousins could come. We had lots of fun running around and chasing each other. Mommy had to work a lot just before my birthday and the day of my party so daddy made me 2 cakes! He did a great job, and we ate it all gone. I got some puzzles and a new truck, a baseball game, I love to hit the ball, and some neat movies for me to watch. I love the Elmo sing-a-long one, I watch it over and over. I also got an ABC learning thing to go on my fridge! My cousin Desi had one so I am so excited to have my own.
On Sunday, we went to church and right after church we got in the car and drove all the way to Grandma's in Salt Lake. They had a birthday party for me up there too. My cousins Simon, Seth and Jillian were there for me to play with. I got jammies from them, and Grandma and Grandpa gave me a BUZZ LIGHTYEAR! I was so excited, and everytime someone would try to take it a way, I would get mad! Now I have Woody, and a Jessie and a Buzz. We even had cake up there too, and Grandma helped me with my candles I blew (well some spit too...)out all by myself!
I am so happy to have everything I got, I love it all! I love birthdays, I want one everyday!

Aunt Rachel

Each day mommy wakes me up early and drags me out to the cold car! We take a little short drive past Desi's house over to Aunt Rachels. Josh and Kaleb are there sometimes and always Parker and Faify (Faith). Shauna, Owen and Ashton are busy getting ready for school.
I have so much fun over there, playing with the kids and watching Scooby Doo! I get so excited in the mornings to go over, and mommy says she is proud of me because almost everytime, I don't cry when she goes.
Aunt Rachel has a lot of plants that I love to play with, however Aunt Rachel doesn't think my pruning abilities are that wonderful, but I don't give up, one day I will do a wonderful job! :)
Everyday over there is a new adventure, and my mommy sometimes gets 2 or 3 calls of all of the funny things I do. I will see if mommy will take a moment and write some down so you can read them...
Hi everyone, let me think, Rachel has called me with so many funny things, and naughty things too, so I will write down a couple for ya... Parker just started school this year and Rachel walks him to school, since it is just around the corner. She has since started waiting to lay Reece down til they come back. He was having a hard time with this for a bit, but one day, they came back home, took of coats and shoes and Reece walked straight to the room he naps in, waited for Rachel to come lay him down, then immediatly fell asleep. She called me in shock that he KNEW it was nap time and he was ready.
Another day, well let me give a little backgroud... Parker is the only boy his age in a large "sea" of girls. He is a rough and tumble kinda kid and since the girl cousins would rather play with dolls, he felt left out, til Reece came along. He must have been thinking 'Great, another boy to tackle, pinch and poke at!' So that is what he showed Reece how to do. They love to "beat" each other up. The favorite thing is pinching Parkers cute pinchable cheeks with great force!!! Add some gritted teeth and a little growl and it is complete. Well one day I guess it was a little too much and Parker freaked out. From the kitchen Rachel called "REECE EVERETT FELLER!!!" and came walking out only to see Reece run behind Parker and hold him still so he could hide. Rachel said she could only laugh because it was just so funny that he tried to hide cuz he was in trouble.
I know I could go on and on, but I will have to add in stories when Reece will let me. I will say this, I am lucky to have Rachel there to watch my little terror of a boy. I am glad he is with family all day, and by they weekend, they are still excited to see him! What a blessing she and her family are to me!
Thanks mommy!
Well, I will make sure that I let mommy tell on me some more later. I do love my Aunt Rachel and my cousins. They are so fun!

Trick or Treat!

Halloween came really fast and is already gone, but I had a great day. It started out to be just a normal day, my mommy dropped me off at Aunt Rachels and went to work.
Just as we were getting ready to take Parker off to school, which we got to do everyday, my mommy showed up. She was early and said that we had to hurry to get going before it got to late. I didn't know what she meant but I went anyway.
We drove for a while (I got to take a REALLY short nap) and then all of a sudden mommy woke me up, and got me out of the car.
She was telling me that I had to get my costume on. Now, if this had been a few days earlier, I would have been screaming my head off, cuz I didn't like wearing everything she had for me. But she helped me realize that it was fun to dress up at the Trunk or Treat at church. I was the only dinosaur around!
After putting on the big part with a tail and the hat part that had eyes (i still wouldn't let mom put the feet on my shoes! No way!!!), she carried me, and a cool bag, to the doors.
I was still a little confused about where I was, but some lady said 'Hi" to me and grabbed a HUGE bowl of candy off her table. I was so excited my hands were shaking. I grabbed 5 suckers. Mommy tried to get me to just take one but the lady said it was ok. Mommy showed me how to put the candy in my special bag and off we went.
Up the stairs were more people with cookies and candies and they all were happy to see me and said I was so cute. I was just happy because they let me take as many candies as my hands would hold to put in my bag.
We found more people down a loud hall like place (the warehouse where mommy works) and I saw lots of funny and scary looking people. Almost all of them gave me candy. The really scary ones that mommy helped me go to were some yucky witches, and their puppy was a witch too. I grabbed my candy and ran away from them!
More candy and more people, until mommy said it was time to go. My bag was so heavy I had to drag it on the floor. Mommy tried to help but all I said was, "Uh, Me!"
Boy was I tired, we did a lot of walking but it was sure fun. I didn't want to let my candy bag go, not for nothin'!
Mommy took me to see daddy at his work and all of daddies friends. We didn't get to stay too long because daddy had to get back inside, so mommy took me home.
We had one more time to put on my costume and that was when we went to Desi's house. Desi and Aunt Amber were dressed like witches, but they weren't scary like the other ones, so it was fun. And Uncle Nate put funny colors in his hair. Mommy and Desi put some in mine too, and my hair was all pink and purple.
We took a lot of pictures and ate more candy before it was time to go home and hand candy to the other kids. What a long, but very fun day!
