My New PUPPY!!!

I finally got my very own puppy!!! I am so excited!! The last picture here I am saying "nice" as I pet her so that I remember that I shouldn't beat on her. She is a mini weiner dog, and we decided to call her Ruby. We get along very well now that I am used to her and her to me. I like to pick her up but this usually lasts a very short time so have yet to capture it on film. I will get dad to try harder. We have a lot of play time together and I always need to know where Ruby is at so that I can be at peace. We are spoiling her pretty good since daddy and I get to stay home with her all day long. What fun it will be to grow up with my little doggie!

Vacation part Two

The second leg of the trip in Knoxville led us first to the zoo!! It was a great time seeing all the different animals and visiting with my other aunts and uncle. My favorite of all was of course the Zebra, I even got a t-shirt with a picture of one on it so I can remember forever, or at least as long as the shirt fits. After the zoo we met up with great grandma & grandpa who came up from Kentucky to see me. We went to the big balloon, as I call it (mommy said it was a tower for the World Fair a long time ago). It was a fun visit but far too short before we had to get back on the airplane and head back to Chelsea's house. I love being able to spend time with such fun people

Vacation part one

Well speaking of not seeing people very often that brings to mind a trip that we made recently to see my cousins, nana & papa, and aunts and uncles. Mom and dad said that it was a vacation, but we played the whole time which is the majority of every day for me, so I guess I am not too sure what vacation means. Any way we spent several days in West Virginia playing and getting into all sorts of trouble. I am so happy that we got to visit everyone down there and wish that everyone could just all live in the same place so that we could have that much fun all the time. After we went to Emma's house we went to Tennessee and visited some other people, but I will have to talk about that a little later.

Visits with the Olsons

We had fun visiting with the Olsons several different times. Joel and I played together well and I was quite curious about little Hadasah. We went to the zoo here in Sioux Falls and spent time playing at my house too. Its kinda sad my friend lives so far away but we sure do enjoy the times that we do get to be together. Come back soon Joel !!!

Songs

Another thing that I have been learning are some good songs, sometimes I will sing along but for this showing I decided to just do the motions. I think you can tell that I know the songs very well and am anxious to learn other songs that have motions to them too. If anyone has some suggestions of good ones for a little girl to know, please call my mommy. Thank you very much. Encore requests are by personal invitation only!

Some new Tricks

I have been mastering the complex languages of several different animal species, I will give you a brief summary of what I have learned so far.... I am trying to add more to my repertoire each day. It is a lot of fun and always brings a smile to mom and dads face as they see just how smart of a girl that I am. Thank you Jesus for helping me learn so many things!!

My Friend Joel

I had the priviledge of playing with my friend Joel from Alaska twice this month! He likes to play basketball and he taught me how to say "Shoot it." When he comes to visit me next time we are going to the zoo!
