Hello From Florida

Our family is in Florida!  Even Julian is with us.  The yellow house is where we live in Florida.  To get there you push the up arrow, then get in the elevator and then you push 2.  When you want to come down to the pool you push G.  And I love to come down to the pool.  

I love playing in the pool.  I like to jump in.  I like to have someone push me down so I can get the rings. I like it when Daddy and Kevin throw me in the air.  I make a big splash when I fall in the water.  And Daddy was spinning us in the tube super fast.  We would fall backwards into the water on our heads.  It was so fun.

Landon is here to play with us.  We both like to jump in the pool and jump to Gram.  And we show him to how play games like Ariel or Mommy and Baby.  This picture is from upstairs looking down from the sky.

We have had some fun on the beach too.  Digging holes and building sand castles and taking walks.  Every time we take a walk I end up playing in the sand and in the water. One time my clothes were soaked splashing in the water.

Beat The Heat

Daddy was watering the grass and we put on our bathing suits and ran around.  I was a little scared at first and I was running away when the sprinkler was coming for me.  But then it was fun to get sprayed with the water.

We did some silly stuff and let the sprinkler spray us in the nose and mouth.  It tickled!

We have been having a lot of fun in the water.  Gram and Poppy cleaned up their pool and we go swimming over there.  The water is cold but we still like it.  I wear my floaties or I wear my vest.  And Mommy took us to swim at another pool.  Cammie and Maddie was there too and some other kids. Cammie and Maddie are in my swim class.

Julian's Sissy

Here is a picture of me and Julian.  He is getting so big and he can sit in his seat now. I always talk to him about his 'sissy'.  When he is crying I tell him that his sissy will make him calm down.  I love to hug him and kiss him too.

And I love to hold him.  When you hold a baby, you have to 'report' the head.  Because babies don't have a strong neck.  Sometimes he gets upset when I hold him.  But I tell him "it's okay your sissy got you".  

I love having a baby brother.

Sidewalk In The Water

I was so excited to go to Grandma's house this weekend!  We drove in the car for a long time.  Me and Riley watched a bunch of movies.  We stopped at McDonald's so I could go potty.  I already ate breakfast but I wanted a snack.  They didn't have my favorite chicken nuggets so I shared a big flat french fry (hashbrown) with Daddy.  I never had a french fry like that before but I ate some of it.

Finally we drove past the windmills and got to Grandma's house.  And we saw Tia and Tio Brian and Grandpa too.   And we went on a walk down a long sidewalk in the middle of the big water (Lake Michigan).  Tia gave me a piggyback ride. It was windy so my hair was blowing.  Grandpa and Tia had to hold my hand so I didn't blow away.  I'm just tricking you!  It was not that windy!  But I loved hanging out with them.

And me and Riley watched a man catch a fish.  Then he threw the fish back in the water.  I thought he was going to put it in a bowl and take it home.  I guess he didn't get the fish he wanted and he wanted a different one.

Memorial Day - Queens of the Gravel Hill

We went to Gram and Papi's little house.  It was too cold to swim in the pool.  But we did some other fun stuff.  We rode on the golf cart.  I like my hair blowing in the wind.  Gram drives fast.  We played on the playground.  And we made some s'mores!  When you make S'mores you need Gram's crackers and marshmallows and some chocolate.  Then you put it on a stick and put it in the fire.  Daddy and Steven and Kevin put the sticks in the fire.  It's not for kids.

Riley and me also played on the rock hill (in front of Papi's new camper).  We felt really tall standing up there.  We stayed there two nights.  One night we slept in the camper.  One night we slept in the house.  We didn't sleep on the boat though.

Mother's Day Art

When we went to Gram's house we drew pictures for Mommy.  Do you like my color picture? I drew a picture of the woods with people's houses we don't know.  I gave the picture to Mommy for Mother's Day.  She liked it.

Life With Julian

So we still have my baby brother, Julian Joseph (that is what I call him to people). I like to give him and kisses and settle him down when he is crying.

When you have a baby you don't have to go to work.  So I stay at home with Mommy and Julian.  But we don't stay home much.  We go to the doctor and Gram's house and we go to pick up Riley at school. I like playing on the playground at her school.  When we pick up Riley we have a full seat in Mommy's car.

I like to tell people how Mommy feeds the baby.  I say "Do you know how my Mommy feeds our baby?" and point to where she does it.  I said that to a man at Chick-Fil-A but Mommy didn't like it. But that is how he eats. When Julian gets bigger I'll show him how to eat chicken nuggets, bananas and Lucky Charms.
