Before and After

My Dad took the week between Christmas and
New Year's off of work so he could... work.
Gigi and Grandpa came down and they
all three got busy on the front yard.
It is nice to have such a good looking house.
I am one lucky girl!!

Some things to take notice of:
new front wall
new paint
new windows
new front door (you can't see that)
some fixed tiles on the steps
and
two new walk ways

Just me.

A Sad Night

Tonight when my parents were getting

ready for bed my poor Kitty Cole died.

I really liked him a lot,

he let me pet him and

poke his eyes and pull on his ears.

My favorite part about Kitty Cole was his wet nose!

He would rub it on my feet and

my hands and make me giggle.

I'm gonna miss him and so is my Mom.

Here are some pictures of him

from when I was a little girl:

Back To The Grind

Today was my first movers and shakers
class since last August.
My Mom missed the sign up for the fall and
then all of the classes were full.....
I was excited to be back!!
After Baby Clare gets here, my Dad will be
the one to take me to my Thursday class.
I will be even more excited to spend
special time with my Daddy.

Can't wait to get in!


Samuel is in my class and so we
decided to go to the park before toddler time,
we had fun for a bit but then he fell and
got a big bump on his eye and head, so he went home.

Sliding before the fall.


Today was my first time going to the
morning toddle time on Thursday's instead
of the baby time in the afternoon.
It was okay..... not too many people were
there and nobody really stayed to
play and that is my favorite part.
I think I will grow to like it,
I just don't know any of the songs yet.
I'll learn.

Playing by myself.

Big Girl Cup

I really like to drink out of a big girl cup,

but I only get to do it in the tub because

I usually forget to close my mouth around the cup.

Today I drank all afternoon and

at dinner and I didn't spill once!!

Painting

Today I got to paint a pretty picture for my sister.
Autumn came over to paint, too.
We had fun painting and then playing with my kitchen,
coloring and playing on my big girl bed together!


Just getting started.


Way into it, although I didn't like the paint on my hands!!


Good job, Autumn!!


Dirty girl!!

For Auntie B...

Do you know what this is??
I liked it!!

Piggy Banks

My little sister and I have matching
piggy banks from our Auntie M.
When my parents have spare change or
drop stuff off at the recycling center,
it goes right into our little piggies!!
I like to put the money in,
especially the quarters because they make lots of noise!

One More Thing....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

2010 is going to be good for the
Mastin's and it will be good for all of you!

Meow, meow!

Sometimes I am so excited to see
my cats that I chase after them saying
meow, meow.... they don't like it so much
and they hide under the bed.
I don't know whey they think
they can hide from me,
I have just been crawling under
the bed after them lately!

Bobcat Ride

My Dad took this week off of work to
get some stuff done around the house.
Gigi and Grandpa came down to help get the yard done.
There has been a Bobcat around for the last
few days and yesterday, my Dad took me for a ride in it!!
