Arri’s Blog

Christmas was really really fun this year. Santa brought me alot of really cool presents. My Mommy and Daddy got me alot of cool stuff too. Christmas morning was great. I wanted to play with everything right after I opened it. I made Mom and Dad open everything right away. And, after everything was open and we played, I thought that was it, but then Aunt Crystal and Alex, Grandpa, Meemaw and Grandpa, and Uncle Brian and Kristina came over with MORE PRESENTS!!!!!! I was soooo excited when Grandpa got here because he brought in my present right away. He got me my own pink power wheels Mustang. I love it very much and play with it every day. I miss it when I’m not home, and have to ask Mommy alot where my car is. My Christmas was very fun and I am excited for next year already. Here are some pictures of my Christmas.

This is what the living room looked like on Christmas morning after Santa came!

My Great Grandma and Grandpa sent me a bunch of gifts for Christmas and my birthday. Mom and Dad video taped me opening them, so I could show Great Grandma and Grandpa. So, here is my video. I love all the presents they got me, especially the socks!

I really love fall. I played in the leaves alot, and I even tried to eat a stick! Mommy said not to, but I had to see for myself. I was alittle sad at first because I couldn’t swim in my pool anymore, but the leaves made up for it completely! And, Thanksgiving is pretty cool too. There was alot of food, and I got to play with almost my whole family at the same time! We got to go to a pumpkin patch and pick pumpkins and apples too.

For Halloween this year, I went as Elmo. It was cool because Mommy went as Ernie, Daddy went as Cookie Monster, Aunt Coco went as Big Bird, and Alex went as The Count. I went and got lots of candy from my neighbors, and then I got to hand out candy to kids on my porch. It was so much fun! I can’t wait until next year. I also had a cool Halloween Party at school. We got to wear our costumes, and had a parade. We got alot of yummy food too. Mommy and Daddy got to come to school and play with me that day. It was pretty neat. And, I even got to come back to school a different day for trick or treating. All the kids mommy’s and daddy’s dressed up their cars and gave us candy. There were games and prizes set up inside, and I got to run up and down the halls with Mommy!!!

I might not even be 2 yet, but I started school in September. I LOVE IT!!!!! School is really really fun. I get to play with my friends Tanner, Lauren, Lucianna, Julia, Trace, Mallory, Addison, Lyla, Dominic, Wyatt, and Isaac 5 days a week! And, I make sure to tell Mommy and Daddy all of their names very often! I am learning alot, like finger painting, shapes, colors, building legos, and lots of music. I know Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Ring Around The Rosie, and a bunch more. I love singing them to Mommy & Daddy and telling them about my friends. My teachers are really great too. Ms. Ollie is very nice. I am very happy that I get to go to school and play with the kids!

This is me getting ready to leave for school.

Just going to add a few more pictures from the end of July and August.

Everything is always going really really fast around here. With Mommy and Daddy’s work getting busy, Christmas coming up, and me going to school now, Mommy completely forgot about my blog. I haven’t put any new stuff up since the spring time, so its been a really long time. Here are a bunch of pictures to update everyone on my summer to start with. I will post again to show this fall and Halloween, and Thanksgiving.

4th of July at Aunt Coco's house

So, all I can say is sorry that this thing has gone so long with no updates. My only excuse is that sometimes I suck at life. hahaha

We have been super busy with the wedding, honeymoon, and then moving as soon as we got back. We are settling into the new house and enjoying it very much. It has been very busy, and I have to say that there are still some boxes to unpack 2 months later. All in good time!

Anyway, here are some new pictures of Arri for everyone to see. And the biggest update I would say is that she is walking and talking, alot. She is still a little peanut, which I dont mind since she hasnt needed alot of new clothes. =) Hoep you enjoy these, and I am going to be making a better effort at getting on here regularly to update.

I haven’t been able to come on here in about a month, so I thought I would make one big post with everything I have been up to in the last month.

Mom and Dad have been keeping me really busy. We got to go to the Zoo again. This time with Aunt Crystal, Jeremy, and Nathan. We got to see alot of the animals again, and Jeremy and Nathan were alot of fun to go with.

I also went to Colin’s 2nd Birthday Party in the last month. Mom said I was at his 1st birthday party, but I was in her tummy so I dont remember. His second one was pretty fun though. I got to play on the big kids playground. I ate a bunch of good food, and played with all the kids there. Plus, I think Colin really liked what me, Mom, and Dad got him. It was a big train table to play with and put toys on, and a train set to go with it.

Hangin out at the party

I got to go to another Birthday Party too. This one was for my friend Jude. He just turned 1. His party was really fun too. We got him some new clothes, and cool new trucks to play with. Once he opened them we both got to play with them together.

Ontop of all the cool big events I got to go to, I did alot of playing and growing this last month. I know how to crawl pretty good now. Mom and dad say its an army crawl, but I dont care what its called. I can get anywhere I want to now. Well, at least I can get anywhere Mom and Dad will let me. I am eating lots of big kid foods now too. I can eat noodles, watermelon, pickles, cherrios, animal crackers, and much more. I think my favorite are the pickles though! Other than that, Mom says things are only gonna get busier the closer we get to my Birthday in December. She promised we would try to keep more updates going though. So for now, enjoy the pictures, and Ill write again really soon!
