Catching up finally!

I am doing a Christmas gift, and it involves some photos that were on my camera or mom's phone, so I decided to go ahead, and fill in the blanks of the last few months on my blog. :)

Hope everyone is doing fantastic, and getting ready for the holidays! Mom and I actually got our tree up early this year, but it did take me two weeks to get it decorated. I was just so tired, I just couldn't do it. Ya know, school just wears me out as I do so much there, but I sure love it, so its worth it. Plus I have a lot of catching up to do at school since I have missed so much being sick. I am doing better now, and mom is really making sure I don't get sick anymore!

Instead of starting with the most current and working my way back like your suppose to, I will do it my way and start with where I left off through now. :)

I need to go back to my spring break. Mom and I had to be out of our place for a few days, so they could paint our kitchen cupboards. We decided to go to San Diego where it was warm.

Now back to May; Mother's Day Weekend. Grandma took mom and I to Palm Springs for the weekend. We had a marvelous time. I loved laying out around the pool and going swimming. I think we need to do this every year for Mother's Day. This may not be mom's kind of vacation, but it sure is mine! :) :) 

Back to my birthday! My little birthday party over at my grandma's house. I got so many neat things, and mom even did a video of my enjoying my new jewelry box. I got some jewelry for my birthday, gift cards and the jewelry box. :)

In July for my birthday, I went with my great grandma Judy, my grandma Gwynne and mom for us all to get pedicures. I thoroughly enjoyed getting them, and this time I insisted I sit in my own chair and not on mom's lap.

Mom and I went on a road trip to San Juan Island in August. We pretty much drove straight there and back. We stayed at mom's friends house in Kingston, WA before catching the ferry the next day to Friday Harbor. 

Once we left San Juan Island to head home, we went through Sisters, Klamath Falls, Oregon then over to Burney Falls, and on to Chico to stay a few days at my grandpa and Sue's house.

On our way to Klamath Falls. I don't remember the town this was called.

While I was there, mom took me to Target for other things, but I convinced her I needed school stuff this year, so she got it for me. :) 

We left Chico, mom then took Cubby and I to Fremont to go shopping. I got Cubby this outfit. 

You can not go on a road trip and not stop in Morro Bay! My favorite place. I got to spend time with the Sea Otters, and met up with a friend whom we went to breakfast with. It was a nice 24 hours there. Not quite 24, but close enough.  

I've been sick quite a bit this fall. One evening when mom listened to my lungs, I decided I wanted to hear them. It was pretty cool. I held it up to me.  

I was well enough to dress up for Halloween and go to school. I wore my Pirates Costume that you have seen me in a few other times for Halloween. I just love how I look in it, and Cubby has a Pirate Costume too, so we were able to dress alike. :) 

Oh, and I made cupcakes for our Halloween party at school. Yummy. 

Mom and I went to my great grandpa Cliffs birthday party. He is 94 years old. This is my third cousin; Torey and I. I had so much fun that day in my great grandpa Cliffs chair, and watching the big screen TV. :) 

Mom and I decided to skip Thanksgiving this year due to all the problems I have been having (respiratory), but I did make my great grandfather a special Pumpkin Pie that he could eat. I think its better than regular Pumpkin Pie, and it's healthier for you too. I love pumpkin! 

Hmmmmm.. I thought I had more photos of me baking. I have been doing a lot of baking here at home and making lots of messes with it to. One day, grandma and I baked chocolate chip cookies and 4 days later, mom was still finding flour in places. LOL! 

Drs... I have been good and not doing any of the actual cooking here at my house. I would mix everything, get it all ready for the oven, then grandma would come and pick it up to cook it at her house. :) I have such a wonderful grandma. Although, they were the ones eating it. :)

Grandpa and Sue came down to my house on their way to the USC football game and dropped off my new TV.  Mom has been making a lot of changes in the house to help with my respiratory, so we got rid of the big old dust collector TV and got a flat screen. Thank you grandpa and Sue. I love my TV. :) 

Mom and I played "go fish" and three games of Uno. I beat her at two games of Uno and the one game of "go fish". 

Oh, and here are two Christmas photos mom took while we were doing the tree. 

Happy Holidays! Until next time... 

Love,
