After starting DanceWorks dance studio in September, we had our final recital to the theme song of Sesame Street.  I was so happy to receive two sets of flowers!

Favorite Movie-Tangled!

Hooks Em

This Saturday will be my first 4 year old t-ball game.  My team is named the Hooks and we have uniforms and everything.  I am a pretty good hitter and need to keep working on my throwing and fielding.  This is what our team hat looks like.

Down in the Valley

This Summer we took a family trip to Donna, Texas to see Papaw Tom and Grandma Judy.  Each time we visit with them we go to Peter Piper Pizza and play games.  As you can see in this picture I am very focused on showing how strong I am by hitting the target with a foam hammer.  I like to play the games and earn tickets to get fun little toys.

Toy Story

Just  watched Toy Story 1 and Toy Story 2.  I really liked the movies except for a scary part where I thought Woody was going to leave Cowgirl Jessie behind...but he did not.  Before watching, we went to the store and I got my own Slinky Dog!  I know there is another Toy Story movie that is out now but I don't know if I will go see it or wait to see it at home.

Ariel and Eric

I finally got my own pets.  Two Sunrise Guppies and I named them Ariel and Eric after the characters in the Little Mermaid.  I bought them at PetSmart with money from my grandparents in Ohio.

Big Girl Bike

At my family birthday party I got my first real big girl bike.  It is a Disney Princess bike and it is great!  As you can see I was also wearing my princess dress and tiara for the occasion.  Daddy went with me for my first ride and I did not even fall but I was a little nervous.  Now, I ride my bike just about everyday.

6th Street

So I just made my first trip to 6th Street which I am told is kinda a big deal. Anyway it was Tuesday night and it was pretty quiet. I am not sure why it was such a big deal but mommy and daddy said I would understand when I get older. We had gone to a Austin Toros basketball game and I had a great time.

The 2010 Winter Olympics

Of course I have to write about the Olympics. I have been asking to watch it every night. Mopstly to see the opening ceremony again because I loved all of the dancing. I am getting ready for my big dance recital and I ran to my room and put on my dance tights, shoes, and outfit while the opening ceremony was going on. My favorite was the spikey haired guy near the end of the ceremony.

American Idol

Grandma introduced me to American Idol and I am a big fan of Simon Cowell. I have even been imitating holding up a pen by my mouth like him. I think he is the best person on the show and I am so excited for when they get to go to Hollywood. Between this and the Olympics my must see tv is set.

Hot Dog Hot Dog Hot Diggity Dog!

The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse has been running a who is your favorite character campaign. Well, mine is Pluto and for Valentine's Day I got this great stuffed Pluto from mom and dad.
