Dibber Dobber Dity

...that is what I called it when I was little, but it is really Silver Dollar City. Grams and Pa took me there a few days ago. It was so fun because we took the camper and I got to sleep in my own bunk bed. Grams always packs lots of good things when we camp, like marshmallows and gummy treats. My mom doesn't buy those gummy treats because she says they will make me turn into a wild Indian. Pa and Grams took me on the frog ride tea cups, train and all the rides for hours and hours! Pa told me funny stories and then one night me and Pa had a burping contest. It was so fun! Except for the last morning, I met a fun girl named Julianna, who was 6. She and I played and played and when we had to leave we both just hugged and cried. I miss that girl. Oh well, maybe I will see her next time.

A Big Heart

Mom and Dad say I have a big heart and that one day I'll be helping people in Guatemala or something.

I like to watch the weather and check it on mom's phone. When I saw a big storm on TV, a hurricane, Dad told me that some people have to leave their houses. I told him they could stay with us and use my bed. Also, when mom told me about a lady that doesn't have a real home, I said, "Mom, she can stay with us and share my pop-tarts!" Sometimes I talk about Grace from Guatemala (I am good at remembering stuff). She has some of my old things now. I told Dad that he can hold Ryan and mom can hold Grace and she can be part of our family.

Mom and Dad say they are proud of me.

A New Mom

That's it...I'm getting a NEW mom. I told her so today. You can get them at the toy store. The toy store is where I wanted to go to get a new girl, but Mom said, "No, not today."
That is when I just had it...I started crying and said I wanted a new mom instead of saying, "Mom, you're my best friend" and "I never want a new mom."
I still didn't get a new girl.

Appendix

My daddy's tummy hurt so he had to go to the hospital. I asked mom if he was going to heaven and she said, "Not today." We stayed with Grams and Pa which was fabulous, because I got to stay up late and eat mac and cheese for dinner and BREAKFAST. Yahooooo!!!
More about dad....they made a hole in his bellow button and to take the appendix out. I'm not sure if that is true or if he is teasing me, but we aren't supposed to lie at our house because I got a spanking for that. I drew a picture of it this morning...the belly button thing (appendix), and mom hung it on the fridge.

Spanish

My Spanish Class is over for a while. It has been fun. My teacher told my mom that I'm very good at repeating words and DANCING during song time. My favorite thing from Spanish is chocolate milk (for snack). I refer to it only in Spanish as chocolate and now request that mom buy it at the store.
!Adios!

Questions about Brother?!?

When is Ry going to get big and not be a baby?
Why does he eat EVERYTHING?
When will he be big enough to wrestle with?
Can we change him to a sister?
...just curious!

What Happens When Dad is Asleep..



Monday night, Mom had a board meeting (whatever that is) and left after she put Ry to bed. That left Daddy in charge. So, he got me all ready for bed and tucked me in. When mom got home at 9, she checked on me and I was still awake. She noticed something was missing on my little mermaid costume (which I was sleeping in). Here is how it went from there...

Mom: Did you tear your costume?
Addie: Nooooo, I cut it.
Mom: With your scissors?
Addie: No, the kitchen ones (the ones that could put an eye out and debone a chicken). I was making a ball gown. Are you so proud of me?
Mom: Of course, it is beautiful! Wow, you cut a lot of holes! Did you cut anything else? Scissor use reminder talk...blah, blah, blah!
Addie: No
Mom: Where are the scissors?
Addie: They are in here somewhere?
Mom: Did you eat a snickers (wrapper by bed)?
Addie: No, butterfly Barbie did!
Mom: Tell the truth.
Addie: Yes. I was hungry for a little snack.
Mom: Where was Daddy?
Addie:
He was sleeping in his bed!

Earth Day

In honor of Earth Day yesterday, I decided to turn the hose on high in the back yard and let it run. Mom did not notice this while we were in the back because the hose is around the corner of the house. She did notice it 2 hours later after she had put us to bed and heard a strange sound (like water running) in my room. When she asked me about it, I told her I did it...I was just cleaning up. Honesty is the best policy!

Barber Shop

It is NOT the Barbie Shop like I thought Dad said. It is a place for Dad's and boys to get haircuts, but not Ryan because he doesn't have hair.

Reinda and Papa's Farm


Mom and Dad had a work trip, so Ryan and I got to spend some time at the farm with Reina and Papa. Here are some highlights....

1. Learning to peep outside (btw...not okay when you are in a neighborhood or at the park with Mom)

2. Barbies playing in the hot tub (Papa now calls it the lukewarm Barbie pool)

3. Watering Larry the Lizzard (He is really a metal lizzard that lives on the deck, but likes to play in the water).

4. Other fun adventures like four-wheeling and walks to the creek.

Reina and Papa said they were realy tuckered out when Mom and Dad came to get us...wonder why?!

Barbie Can Fly...

On the way to Nanny's house this morning, I told Mom Barbie can fly. Her purple dress is magical and makes her fly. Mom said that she shouldn't fly on the interstate...it's not safe, but let her fly while we were driving on Nanny's road.

A Prayer at Panera

You can't see God, but He lives in your heart. God hears your prayers, so I thought last weekend at Panera I would say a wonderful prayer for our "cakes."
It went like this (with eyes closed, brow furled and hand motions) in a not real quite voice:

God is great, God is good...let us thank him for this food.
Thank you for Halloween...it was so fun. I love to be a mermaid.
God, thank you for Abby's birthday at Fun City...I love her sooooo much and love the clown game I played with Daddy and the slides!
And thank you for letting Dad take me to the Razorback game at night. I hope we can go there again. And please be with our family.
In God Names, Amen!

Valentines

When Dad took us out for a Valentine's dinner, I thought it would be super yummy to make a spagetti taco. Mmmmmmm...now that is tasty! I just love holidays and was so excited to tell everyone in Target (real name: The Popcorn Store) and other random people "Happy Balentine's Day!"
Mom and Dad got me a new Princess hat...and I love it because "Princesses never have to clean their own room!"

PARTY





For my birthday this year we went to nastics played, and of course had cake. It was great fun! Did you know there are some kids in the world that don't have toys? All my family and friends brought toys and things for 'medium' kids that don't have much.
Here is what my friends brought:
89 tubes of toothpaste
78 toothbrushes
50+ little toys
lots of little bows and rubber bands

That is a lot of stuff for kids! THANK YOU! My family still spoiled me with presents. And by the way, I've been telling lots of random people that some kids don't have toys so we need to send them some. Thanks everyone for loving me and helping me celebrate! Our friends at church are going to take everything to the kids in Mexico.

Christmas

Santa knew just what I wanted...Belle and the Beast!
homemade cookies-bites=Santa was here

Twas two days before Christmas and we went to Reina and Papa's house. Uncle Nic and Aunt Paige were there too. Matt, Mary and Megan came over and we all opened presents. They are just like family and always get me the best pjs. They got me Dora pjs this year, with furry stuff. I was so excited, I stripped right down and put them on.

Santa called while were there and he told my Papa, "He had trouble getting a word in edgewise." Here I am talking to him on the phone. Reina and Papa got me a fabulous robe (rope) with and "A" and a crown on it so I could have a robe just like them.

Here I am on the swing set Reina and Papa gave us. Daddy and Mr. Dirk put it together when it was really cold. Dad said that Papa wasn't kidding when he said, "Some assembly required!"
Then we had Christmas at home (see above) and with Grams and Pa. They gave me some amazing princess stuff. I played princess for hours and hours!
I can't wait until next Christmas. I'm already asking how many days!
