Summer Ball

So... Mama and Daddy said I needed to play some kind of sport this summer. They tried to get me interested in soccer, since that is the game a lot of my friends are playing and they thought I would enjoy that. However, I threw a great big stink about it and refused! Big Time! Mama and Daddy said I had to do something, and I told them I wanted to do t-ball.

Well, I'm playing ball, but it isn't exactly t-ball like I wanted. Apparently the place I'm playing through wants the coaches to pitch the ball and we have to hit it that way.  While we're not exactly the greatest, we do a pretty good job hitting it.  If, after several pitches we still haven't hit the ball, then we can use the T.

We also don't play to win, but we play to learn the game and have fun and be good sports about it. I'm pretty excited about it... usually. Sometimes I'm tired, and other times it's *very* hot!

These pictures were taken from one of my first games.

Here my coach is helping me stand correctly...

I'm on first....

And now my team is in the field...

It's So Hard Being a Princess

My cousin A asked if I could come to his birthday party and I was so excited to be able to!

Here we are waiting for our pizza to arrive.

Daddy and I getting ready for a go-kart ride! Squee!!

Playing some mini-golf...

Aren't we just a bunch of cuteness! Two princes and princess!

We're not even afraid of fearsome dragons!

Nothing like relaxing on the porch after a hard day's play...

I sure hope my cousin A had a great birthday! I had a lot of fun hanging out with him and his brother!

Butterflies

We recently took a trip to see a butterfly garden with a group of families from our church.  When we got there, I so very politely asked the ticket lady if there were any monarch butterflies. Unfortunately, those ones were all gone.  I did, however, get to see monarch caterpillars and one that was starting to form a chrysalis!

We took a break from walking around the butterfly garden and my friend E and I got silly when Daddy pulled out the camera...

After we walked around and saw all the butterflies, we headed out to the children's garden. That's where we found the most adorable-ist Jelly Bean Butterfly!

And later on we spotted a Jelly Bean Butterfly with attitude!

We "discovered" a trail and followed it to a "farm" where we could explore and we got "locked" in a chicken pen (at least that is what the grown-ups called it)...

Then we found a sculpture that Ms. T was wanting to find. Here are the kids waiting for the grown-ups to decide what we were doing....

Fairies, Flowers, and Butterflies

The theme I picked for my birthday this year was fairies, flowers, and butterflies. I had a blast helping Mama and Daddy pick out party favors, decorations, and activities!

While we waited for my guests to show up, we decorated flowers and butterflies...

Then we had cake and ice cream...

After everyone was finished we played pin the wings on the fairy. Daddy drew a really awesome boy fairy, but you can't see him because of all the wings!

I opened presents...

and my friends had fun being silly!

Then we went outside and had a fairy obstacle course, or as Daddy called it, Fairy Boot Camp!

We were supposed to be in "training" to play flower, flower, fairy (duck, duck, goose), but my friends and I had so much fun doing the obstacle course we never got to the last game.

At the end of the day, I told Mama and Daddy that this was the best birthday party EVER!

Mama/Daughter Date

Mama and I went with my friend E and her mom, Ms. T, to see a show. Can you guess what it was?

Here are E and I before it started...

How about if I show you this picture. 

 Any ideas yet?

We went to see this!

(Goofy, Minnie Mouse, Donald and Daisy Duck)

 (The Lion King)

 (The Little Mermaid)

 (Lilo and Stitch)

(Tinkerbell, from Peter Pan)

We went to see Disney on Ice, and it was soooooo cool! I especially loved Ariel, and I also got pretty excited to see Tinkerbell.

Seeing the Circus

Mama and Daddy took my friend E and I to the circus. I was so excited to go! (Mama says, when am I *not* excited to do things!)

We got to ride on an elephant before the show...

Run through a bouncy obstacle course... (and I'm super silly!)

And had popcorn and cotton candy! This is my friend E and I...

My favorite part was the silly clown who was playing music. The ringleader "broke" his radio, and he put it in a garbage can, but it kept playing! So the clown had to sit on the garbage can to turn it off! It was soooo silly!

I also enjoyed watching the acrobats that were hanging from ropes and doing tricks! And the guy riding a bicycle and doing tricks was really good. I want to be able to ride a bike like that some day!
