I'm really into the "WHY?" phase lately. I want to know how everything works, why it works that way, and what exactly makes it work. I love to learn about animals - what they eat, how they grow, and where they live. I like to know more about time keeping - so I keep a calendar. I know the days of the week and I'm learning the months in the year. I can even add my own date every day without help! This helps me reconigze numbers like 27! Mommy is proud! I'm as curious as they come and Mommy thinks that my drive to learn and discover will lead me to great things one day...for now, I just like when my shovel leads me to a new batch of unearthed worms or a new seed to plant!

Random cuteness in 5,4,3,2....

1!

A little trip up north...

for Kirsten's graduation party (see my brother's blog for more family photos)...

Here are some of me - I was a pretty busy body so Mommy found it hard to capture me as I streaked around the yard. The food was yummy, the company was great - what else can a 3 and 3/4 year old ask for?!

Bath time!

I like taking a bath with my little brother. For so long, bathtime was a lonely time, now I always have a playmate!!!

It's a Jeep thing...

I think photo's like this make my Daddy proud...



I can actually drive my Jeep around this year! Last year all I did was crash into everything - now I'm capable of steering with the occassional crash (on purpose, accident, whatever it my be!) I'm also really good at riding my bike now and can pedal down the street and back. My how things have changed since last summer...I like my new capabilities!

Pose for the camera...

asks Mom...well sure, how does this work? I think it feels very artistic!



Ok, ok, the same chair, just add my brother and some more giggles :)





I bet this pose made Mommy happy! Just letting my personality shine...

A little wind in my hair...

My hair looks as hyper as I am! Did my Mommy ever mention sugar makes me hyper? Especially ice cream... bet you wouldn't had thought that though. The wind whipping through my hair really matching my personality (according to mommy). I think my high energy is just fine!

I'll be four soon...

Mommy is capturing the last moments of me being three...

Each day I look so much older.

As the sunsets...

Mommy calls me to go home...we're at Tunnel Park again. I hate to leave...the sun sure looked pretty in my hair...

Tulip Time!

Is just around the corner! Holland has a huge festival called Tulip Time - it gets very Dutch around here and there are a lot of wooden shoes and Dutch costumes - not to mention plenty of tulips, sweet treats, and parades!

Here are some photos from a place we like to visit called Windmill Island.

Good Ship Lollipop (Video)

Yep, you get to watch it too! :)

Good Ship Lollipop

Mom and Dad weren't too sure how I'd react to being on stage but I turned out to be a natural performer. I had my shoulders high and a huge smile on my face the whole time. When I was done, I wanted to get back up on stage. It was so much fun!!! Everyone said I did a great job. I've been working hard at dance since September. I like my teacher Miss Marie and it was nice to show off all I have learned at our recital! Mommy said I make a good Shirley Temple. ;)

Before rehearsal...

My dance rehearsal was that evening and I needed to let off some wiggles. Mommy had my hair in piggies and I had my pink leotard on ready to go!







and the flowers are looking pretty around here!

Random Shot!

Pretty Eyes (and a chipped tooth - yep, I did that on a shopping cart). I'm growing more and more beautiful each day...

The Beach!

Out doing some geocaching and we couldn't resist a trip to the water! Of course Mommy has to pull her camera out - but she did let me splash in the water after a few 'poses'. These were taken up in Grand Haven. I like to visit Grand Haven because they have a nice wooden playground too. I always make lots of friend there and have a fun time.

To the beach!













and one last JUMP FOR JOY!

Me and Gammy

I got lots of cuddles in with Gammy during our trip to Alpena. I liked to sit on her lap and rub my feet on hers. I'm glad I have Gammy...

Loving the park!

I am just so happy to be outside more - I can't wait for the warm weather to stay around more. When we get a nice day though, we're outta here and enjoying the outdoors! Evan loves slides too!

Just me and my lil bro...

Yep, we're cute - you can look twice just to make sure!

More sweet treats...

I don't know which was better (or messier) the marshmellows I had a few days ago or that big cone of ice cream I just finished eating! YUM!

Little Nanny...

I'm a great helper to mom. I help feed Evan, diaper him, bathe him, and when mommy is getting ready in the morning I cuddle him near me and watch some Baby Einstein or read him a book.

Grab the matchs and don't forget the marshmellows!!!

I had to have some blood drawn from some test the Dr. wanted to do on me to make sure I was healthy, which I AM! But having my blood taken wasn't that much fun. Mommy said I could have WHATEVER I wanted afterwards and I told her I wanted roasted marshmellows! They were so yummy and it was our first bonfire of the season!

Down on the Farm...

Daddy's friend let us visit his barn - down on the farm is so much fun!
