DINOSAURS!!!!

Mommy, Nana and Papa surprised me by taking me to see Dinosaurs!! We went last year too but this year was way more fun because I got to walk all over. 

This time I rode the T-Rex ride!! It moved and roared!! Papa stood in line with me and when it was my turn I climbed right on and started waving to mommy!

I wanted my face painted with a T-Rex so me and mommy waited in line for it. The paintbrush tickled my cheek, I started to laugh a little.

They had a HUGE T-Rex that we got to take a picture with. There was a lady standing near it saying that we couldn't touch it so we pretended. I can't wait to go again next year!!

Oh yea..Soccer again!!

Mommy asked me if I wanted to play soccer again so of course I said Yes! I love playing soccer! This is my second time playing on a soccer team and I have so much fun and am learning so many new things. I am really good at running and kicking but when there are a bunch of kids by the ball, it's a little hard for me to get in there and try to get the ball but I have gotten a lot better this time.

I can balance really good on one foot while the other foot is on the ball. We use a different ball than we did when we played outside, this one is fuzzy and bigger. My coach was the same coach I had for basketball. He was okay but I really liked my very first coach that I had for soccer, he was so nice and always made sure we had fun. I have a friend that was in soccer with me before, his name is Bryson. He's next to me in this picture. We are the same age and get along really good. 

See how good I am doing!!

I stay out on the field the whole time and I try to get the ball every time someone else has it. So far I have had different color shirts for every sport. First I was blue, then yellow in basketball, now green in soccer again. 

Even MORE presents!!

Nino came over today and brought me MORE gifts from my cousins Riley, Luciana and Julian!!

I got a cool book!

And a cool jersey!!

Nino, mommy and Nana started laughing because I started playing with the box and was pretending it was a hat. I'm getting to be a pro at opening presents!

Snow Time!

Mommy and I got to play outside finally! There was a lot of snow so I brought my shovel with to help Papa since he was already outside using the snow blower. 

I'm always trying to help. 

My first snow angel!

Happy New Year!!

Mommy and I got to stay up even later than we usually do because it's New Year's Eve..whatever that is. We watched a movie, drew on my easel and mommy made me wear this hat thing. I had a whistle blower thing and it was really loud but it made the dogs nervous so I could only do it when they were outside. We counted down and then we went out on the porch and heard all kinds of noises that sounded like fireworks..it was a little scary so we went back inside. I didn't really understand what we were celebrating but it was fun.

Christmas 2013

My family comes over the day before Christmas and we eat, watch tv and of course I play. We all sat at the kitchen table to eat dinner and were watching ELF, which I didn't really like but all the adults seem to laugh a lot while watching it. 

After dinner we all went downstairs for dessert. When Brian comes over he never gets to sit with the grown ups because I ask him to play the minute he walks in the door. He is a lot of fun and we can both draw dinosaurs really good (well he can draw way better than me but I'll be that good one day!) I always ask if my cousin Brian is coming over whenever Nino comes but Mommy says he works alot so its hard for him. My cousin Adrienne came over too and she even played blocks with me! 

When we were all downstairs we heard the dogs barking upstairs so Papa went up to see what was wrong and our other cousins came over. I know Helena from the Halloween and Christmas parties that I've went to. She is always a lot of fun too.

Christmas morning I woke up and there were SOOO many presents under the tree! My stockings were even filled to the top, Santa had came!! I got all of my Dragons, blankets, movies, clothes, lite brite, easel, games, candy, computer, walkie talkies, camera, games for my leappad and puzzles. I love puzzles! Santa brought gifts for everyone else too. I was so tired after opening ALL of those presents and helping everyone else open theirs..that is exhausting work. 

These are ALL of my presents!! I think I had a great Christmas, I can't wait for Christmas again next year!

Shooting hoops with Tio

Since I started playing basketball I found out I really like to shoot the ball, I don't care to much to dribble the ball but that's why Tio is working with me. This is my first DUNK! I had so much fun playing with Tio, mommy and Bri and then Papa came and brought my hoop. We all shot around, even though my small hoop was there I still liked to shoot on the big one.
