Ending, Just to Start Again

As many of you may know from the post on my sister B's blog, we have decided that starting and keeping one family blog would hopefully be much easier than maintaining three separate blogs. So please join us at: Anderson: Party of 5 to see the happenings of our growing family and busy life.

Ms. Pac Man

Daddy isn't the only video game player in our household.

School Dreams

I am so ready to go to school too, but unfortunately I am not quite old enough...someday though...someday...

New Wheelbarrow = New Fun

We have had a large pile of rocks in our backyard for a very long time and this summer Mom and Dad finally decided what to do with a few of them. Since we were going to have to move a big portion of them out front, a wheelbarrow seemed the best solution for the big job. However, I think riding in one is far more fun then pushing one filled with a bunch of rocks. Wouldn't you agree?

Great Wolf Lodge

Although I may still be a little on the young and short side to enjoy all the water slides in the water park, there is still a ton of stuff for me to do at Great Wolf Lodge. I watched story time at the clock tower, B let me help her with her Magi Quest game, I earned some tickets in the arcade, and got to meet Violet (high fives only, no hugs). I was definitely a little girl on the go.

1,2,3 Braids

My hair is getting longer, so rather than just one regular braid, or two pigtail braids, I went with three!

E-burg Playground fun

I love the playground, and I am always ready for a new one. So when Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa thought it would be a good idea for Bailey and I to burn some energy before the long car ride home, they got no complaints from me.

Reagan in the Box

It may have held one of Bailey's birthday gift's, but I think the box was just as much fun.

Beacon Rock Playground

Since Grandpa and Grandma Bliss were camping at Beacon Rock we went to visit them and have dinner. Before we ate, we went to the campground playground to play. It was a warm day, but it didn't slow me down.

Pigtails!

Lately, my favorite hairstyle is pigtails. I want to wear them all the time, even when I go to bed.

Marathon Day

On the day of Daddy's big marathon run, Mom took us to three parks so we could see him run and bring him extra goodies to keep him going. I was so excited to see him at the first park that I took off running as soon as I spotted him.

Almost...

...big enough. Right now, I can only reach it with my toes and manage a few peddles backwards, but a few more inches and I'll be ready to take-off.

Seaside Sandbox

I wasn't so sure about walking on the sand at first, not because I haven't been in it before, but maybe because there was so much. It didn't take long for me to adjust though and I was running all over and making sand castle/moats with Daddy. I was pretty sad when it was time to go home.

Mother's Day Visit

The day before Mother's Day we headed to Goldendale to visit my daddy's Mom, and wish her a Happy Mother's Day and tell her how much we love her. I had so much fun helping them feed the chickens and check for eggs (which I promptly threw back at the chickens...I just had so much fun feeding them and forgot the egg wasn't bread), and then watering every plant (twice) in the yard.

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Check out the beautifully bright pink cake we made mommy for her birthday, since we didn't have enough candles, we put one on for every eleven years, that's right, she's 33.

Farmers Market Park

Although I enjoy looking at the beautiful flowers and eating the yummy food at the farmers market, my favorite part is the playground.

Big Sister too

Here is a picture of my baby brother or sister, now I am a big sister like Bailey too!

Good Times with a Good Friend

What's better then jumping on a trampoline, jumping on a trampoline with a friend.

Little Helper

When Mom and Dad are working on chores I love to jump in and help, and they're always happy to let me. They say, "they'll enjoy it, while it lasts."

Big Girl Bed

Look at me in my new big girl bed, courtesy of my big sister. Mom and Dad left my crib up just in case I wasn't ready, but it came down the next day because I love my new bed.

Egg Hunt

At first I didn't quite understand that I should look around the house for more eggs because I was excited about the one I found in my room and the one in my Easter basket, but once I caught on I was bouncing and running all over the house saying, "There's another one."

Me and My Friends (photo by, Bailey)

I love my stuffed animal friends. They sleep with me at night and usually hang out with me while I watch my cartoon in the morning. I have got quite a few so usually I need a little help when I tote them around, I can't choose just one!

Sun = Scootin' Fun

Like my sister being outside is one of my favorite places to be, there is just so much to do and see, so I didn't have to be asked twice when Mom mentioned going outside to ride scooters. I am still getting the hang of it, but I know pretty soon I'll be giving Bailey a run for her money.

Library time = Fun time

It has books, it has toys, beautiful glass play structures, and a great view, what's not to love.

Yoga with Mom

While working on my downward facing dog pose one day, Mom decided to hop down to the floor and do some yoga with me. She may not have it perfected yet, but I'll keep working with her and she'll be as good as me in no time.

Computer time with Dad

Whether Dad is working on his writing or grading papers for work he usually has to spend some time on his computer everyday, so I thought I would keep him company by sitting with him and doing some work on mine too.
