Jumpin' and Flippin'

Here are a few fun videos from this last month.

Here I am doing a "flip." I am getting really good at this.



Here we are at our second visit to Jump Street. I love that place! As you will see, I am more brave than Mommy, who won't try to bounce against the side wall.

Christmas 2008--Part II

On Christmas Eve, we headed to Mockon's house to spend Christmas with her and Tio Cito.

I was happy to see Tio Cito. It's been a while since I've seen him.



Here I am all cute and ready for Christmas mass. Since we'd been taking so many pictures without the flash, the flash hurt my eyes with every picture Mommy took, so she had to take the flash off again.



Here are pictures of Christmas morning at Mockon's house, including a picture of Tio Cito opening the framed painting I gave him.




Here I am, chillin' with Tio after all the presents were opened.


Then he put me up high on the chair. Tio Cito likes scaring Mommy.



Tio Cito just bought himself a big boy motorcycle. Despite Mommy's apprehension about motorcycles, she let Tio put me on it.




Tio Cito also got me my own little motorcycle. I love it. Here I am outside of Mockon's house, creating my own little motocross:





Mommy and Dadda's good friends were in Ruidoso for the holidays, so we went up the mountain to have lunch with them. Then, we went to Winter Park. It was freezing and snowing snow pellets, but we had a good time. I always like seeing my good friends Jonah, Toby, and Ryen.





While we were there, I rode the train and the carousel, and then I went down the snow hill in an inner tube. I had a blast!!







That night, we hung out with Mockon. She put some of her curlers in my hair, and I said, "I look sharp."




While I was at Mockon's house, I also got to play on her piano, even when I was so tired that I couldn't sit up to play.




On our last day with Mockon and Tio Cito, we went up to the Lodge for their yummy brunch. Yes, Tio Cito put bunny ears on Mommy. Oh, Tio!






While we were there, Tio bought me the coolest present, a stick horse! While we were waiting, I had to show off my riding skills. Everyone thought I was so cute!


Later that night, back at Mockon's house, the Larson family came by to visit. They had just driven in from Arizona. Dadda is Samantha's Godfather, so it is awesome that we got to visit with them. Mommy and Dadda set up a little "dinner theater" for us kids so that the adults could visit.



The next day, we drove back to Colorado. After Dadda got everything unloaded, we made dinner, and I wanted to help. Here I am wearing the apron that Mockon had made for me.



What a great Christmas!

Christmas 2008--Part I

We just returned from spending Christmas with our families in NM. We had so much fun.

On one of the first days in Artesia, we were driving back home after playing basketball at the rec center when we saw ponies at this one store. Of course, I had to stop and ride!






Here are some pictures of the beautiful NM sunset:



Here I am opening some presents. Mommy and Dadda didn't want me to get too overwhelmed with a bunch of presents at once, so we spread them out, and I got to open at least one everyday. I really got the hang of it!






Here's a funny little video and Nana and I playing "TIMBER!" We're pretending to be falling trees. I love that game!



Over the holidays, I ate tons of these little oranges ("clementines"). I got impatient waiting on other people peeling them for me, so I learned how to peel them myself.





Here are some funny pics of my Nana. She's so silly:



Here I am playing with some of my other toys. My parents like to give me a variety of options for future careers.






Bubba made some paper airplanes for us to play with while we were waiting for Grizzy and the family pics. After we were done with that, I did a little singing:




Here are some family pictures we took, all in camo. Nana and Bubba decided that the flash made us all look a little ghostly, so we took most of them without the flash.






And some more...with Bubba, Nana, and Grizzy...






And a silly one...my favorite


After all the pictures were done, I opened another present--a little bowling set. When I set all the pins up and started bowling, my family started wondering if I have secret night life of bowling, since I knew exactly what to do!



The next day, we left for Alamogordo and Christmas--Part II. Stay tuned for that post in the next few days.
