Me and my Mina!

I love my sister!

Maddie was the first girl, then Lil Mina came right after

And every day that we're together goes by even faster!

We can dance a jig with Mom or Dad...

And take our turns and not get MAD!

We can share a donut with the puppy,

or eat it all and not share a bite...
Aren't we so lucky!


We gather up our rocks,

And we share all the same friends...


It's a pretty happy life that we found ourselves in!
Yay Maddie and Mina!!!


This week me, Mina and Hart helped open up Raleigh's new kid's museum... Marbles!

Then, I took a much needed nap and woke up rearing to go!
Did someone say CHIPS???


Our neighborhood had a little block party and they invited a real, life ambulance for us kids to see!
OOOOoohh, Stuff that I can't touch!!!

Then, I ate some cookies and went tearing through the cul de sac with Hartley!

My Life as a Star Athlete...

I'm a soccer star!
In soccer practice, Coach Graham teaches me and my friends how to play soccer and build buildings that we can kick down with our soccer balls!

Here I am getting ready to run to my ball and KICK!

It is so much fun to be a soccer player, but sometimes, I like to spend some time exploring my artsy side with my daddy!

And everything's funner with my Mina!!

Good work Mina!!

Mina's getting ready for Halloween. She's a spooky cat!

It's a busy, busy life! And when I'm not a soccer star and drawing pictures, I like to build stuff at my Grandma's. Hey Daddy, there's more than one civil engineer in the house!

While I was off building, Mina was trying to spend Mommy's money. Silly baby!

On Sunday night, I got a special, special treat for staying dry ALL weekend long and using the potty like the big girls! We went to get ice cream! After a quick bite, we played on the grass...

I walked on my feet......and on my hands!

Mina could not resist smelling the flowers....over and over and over, again. I think she was driving Mommy crazy!

After a long weekend, Mina was tired of walking. So, I pushed her all around the house and she hammed it up for the camera. Say CHEESE baby!!

I be soccer player!

For months now I've been telling people that I was going to be a soccer player when I grow up, and now- I'm growed!
I be soccer player!

There's a pee wee league here just for two year olds like me and Katie and Maggie and Dylan!
Yay Soccer team!
When I'm not playing with the big kids, I like to roll with the wee ones. Mina is learning how to draw with me!


That's all for this week, short and sweet, like my little sissy!
Say Bye Bye Mina!

Beach Weekend!

Numm Numm. I told my little Mina that she better eat her breakfast this weekend, because she was going to need her energy!!

'Cause Hartley's gonna get you!!

This weekend, Hartley and her mommy chased us all the way to her grandma's house at Holden Beach for a girls weekend!

Hartley's Grandma's house is the best ever. It has a swing!

And a boat!


And a beautiful beach for me and Hartley to play!

And it even had Kacee!! Mommy said OK Kacee bear, it's a girls weekend, so you're coming too!


We had so much fun this weekend. Hartley and me ate ice cream together and walked on the pier...

And played in the bubble bath and jumped on the beds!

Thanks Hart! You're the best!

Mina was so fired up when we got home and got to see Daddy again, that she just up and started walking around! Look at our baby go!

College football!

Mommy says that our nifty plastic pool will be closing soon, so I grabbed my little sissy and to make some waves!!


Nice job Sissy!
Now you stay home with Mommy while Daddy and me go on up to Hokie Country!
Daddy and I had a dandy time with Hokie bird in Blacksburg this weekend. I got to see the April 16th Memorial, and spend some good, happy time with the best daddy in the whole world.


My daddy buys me hotdogs...

And he shows me mountains...

And he teaches me about all the good Hokie cheers!

Mommy was happy when we came home safe and sound on Saturday night after the game. She's glad I am a little Hokie, but she tells me that Appalachian State has a very good football team too, and they have mountains and hot dogs too, and also in state tuition. I said that I will keep all that in mind.
While I'm mulling over the possibilities, I like to swing with my little sister at the park!


Go Mina Go!
