we attended the illinois wesleyan alumni luncheon at mccormick ranch in scottsdale, az. despite, daddy being the "young alum of the year 2008" nev was quite the star! she had everyone wrapped around her finger! and, she did a really nice job during the entire event!
i have a pretty good arm(s)!
sunshine in my hair!
entertaining daddy!
"more daddy"
i kept asking daddy to swing me around more and more! it was so fun!
i love playing with courtney!
courtney berman is such a good friend. even though she is older than me so loves to play with me! she is so patient and helpful!
very impressive maya!
i wasn't able to climb up this rock slide by myself yet! hopefull soon because maya sure had fun on it!
what a crew!
my new way to play dress-up!
i was wearing mommies shoes and would only pull the shirt over halfway. i was pretending the sleeves were ears!
giggles while riding the pony!
daydreaming!
carrots!
we got to feed the ponies some carrots! i did a great job at holding my hand out flat so they would only eat the carrots and not my fingers too!
trading goodies!
we got our party favors and at the end we all traded each other for the items we wanted most! or maybe i was just following the lead of the older kids!
choo choo train!
this is part of the train i got to ride on at the park! we took a tour around the island on the train and even went under a tunnel!
finally, i get to ride in a helicopter!
i am fascinated with helicopters (or helicockers as i actually call them)! i was so excited that i finally got to ride in one and drive it all by myself! we flew pretty high into the air!
waiting patiently
i waited my turn in line until i could finally get a chance at the bumper boats!
happy valentine's day!
i got some fun things for valentine's day! thank you!
stretching
since i already like to boss aunt she she around i thought i would tell her she needed to stretch with me. i was showing off too at how flexible i am!
cuddle time!
out exploring the world!
getting a ride from jet!
golf break
time for some golf with daddy!
walking off into the sunset...
i want the guacamole please!
after the illinois wesleyan event we went for a nice drive around the valley with the jeep tops off! i fell asleep and when i woke up we were going for some appetizers at lon's at the hermosa...a great restaurant and quaint hotel!
pretty flowers!
i was enthralled with all the pretty flowers. and, i even picked one...oops! i loved our waitress and was charming all of the staff and customers too!
preparing to go down the slide!
we had a nice playdate at the park with my friends (and mommies too) and attended the farmer's market too!
berman girls!
picnic in the park!
i love having playdates with the berman's and vogelson's! we have fun and good food too!
feeding the ducks
miss flexibility!
pony ride!
i went to maya's 3rd birthday party at the park! auntie amy had two ponies for us to ride and a miniature pony to pet at maya's party! it was a blast! i kept saying "nev turn?" because i wanted to keep riding the pony!
giddy up!
birthday girl!
my friend, maya vogelson, is celebrating her 3rd birthday! she is in my class at school too! she has been so helpful in making me feel welcome in the new class! what a great friend!
petting the miniature pony!
whee!
i told mommy this pony wasn't as soft as the one i rode yesterday! i had another birthday party this weekend for my friend gavin. he turned 4 years old and we celebrated at enchanted island at encanto park! it was lots of fun too! i rode lots of rides!
enjoying the train ride with daddy!
watch out!
i thought i was a pretty good driver! i'm not sure what mom and dad thought though!
here i come!
i enjoyed the bumper boats for half of the ride and then all of the sudden decided i didn't like it anymore and started crying! i had daddy take me out of the boat early! maybe next time!
kumquat!
mai mai and i were throwing kumquats from their bush to she she! then she would throw them back! it was very entertaining! sometimes i would throw the kumquat far and other times it would end up behind me! oops!
