Almost every day I ask Mommy, “Can we go to Ella’s house?”  Usually she says, “Not today.”  But today was Tuesday, so we got to go!  We go play with our friends while the adults learn Bible stuff.  Next month everyone’s going to come to our house each week.  Now THAT will be fun! Tonight me and KiKi and Ella took some pictures outside.  We’re all pretty much the same size.  KiKi and Ella are 3, and I’m going to be 6 in a few weeks. KiKi was trying to get pictures later with Cody and Landon, but they kept going away from her.

First Daddy went to popcorn church early to help set things up. Then he came home and we all went back to popcorn church. (Have I ever told you why we call it that??) Then we came home for lunch and changed clothes to play clothes. Then Mommy went to meetings at work and Daddy took us to Jon’s birthday party at the new playground. It was a little chilly and we got rained on.  Miss Jenny was there and she took this picture of us trying to get warm. Then we came home and Mommy came home and we changed into cheer clothes super fast and got back in the car. Miss Linda came over and hopped in with us to go to cheer. She wanted to see how we practice. KiKi’s working on doing one-leg stunting. And I went all the way up tonight and didn’t get worried at all.  Then we went to dinner with Miss Linda. Then we came home and got ready for bed right away. Now we sleep. Phew!  That’s a lot in one day!

We have been going to a new church for a little while.  It’s not like regular churches that have church buildings. We go to Popcorn Church. That’s what we call it, anyway.  It doesn’t have it’s own building, so it borrows some movie rooms at the big theater place.  There’s popcorn going in there when we go on Sunday mornings, so that’s why we call it Popcorn Church.  It smells SO good…. They also have a fun game room, and while we were waiting for Mommy, we decided to go play a little bit.  I think me and KiKi are gonna be great drivers! But I’m better than KiKi, I say.  I practice a lot when Mommy lets me climb up to her seat in the van sometimes.  But only when we’re sitting in one place, not on the road.

On Tuesday nights, we go Ella’s house.  We get to play with some friends and the adults stay upstairs and talk about God and Bible and stuff.  There’s snacks, and we get to watch movies or play outside.  I love it!  I always remind Mommy on Tuesday that it’s time to go to Ella’s house. Tonight, after we the adults got done and we all came back upstairs, I sat down with Mr. Chris and Miss Abbey to do some reading.  I just to got to talk with them last week a little more, so now I can just ask to sit with them and they’ll read to me.  Isn’t that nice?  Mr. Chris plays music at our church and Miss Abbey is a doctor.  Since I LOVE music and I get to see lots of doctors, it just makes sense for me to have them as new friends!

After some very busy days, we got to stay home today.  Well, except for church, but we always do that and we like it, so that’s ok. This afternoon we just got cozy and played with some of the things KiKi got at her party last night.  (It was her birthday party, but that’s still for later.)  One of the things she got from our little cousin Arden was a chef hat and apron.  She wanted one really bad, so she was pretty excited about it. Of course, I had to try it on too.  I like it! Maybe I’ll have to get me one of these too! We’re gonna learn to cook some new stuff soon!

I took Jingles to church with me today.  I sat with Mommy and Daddy today, while KiKi went upstairs to class. Jingles sat with us.  I think he liked it. Then we went to Costco, and we showed Jingles how fun it is to shop there.  We LOVE going to Costco!! Tomorrow, Jingles has to go back to class, so I get to write all our fun things down in the Jingles Journal that he brought home with him.  We’re even gonna put pictures in there!

I’ve been very busy, but Mommy’s been way busier than me.  So we haven’t had time to tell stories and show you pictures. I’ll try to do better… here’s a couple for you from the last week. Here’s me and KiKi walking with Daddy into church last night… we found some cute new dresses that a friend gave to us.  I think we look pretty nice! Here’s me and KiKi all ready to go to the swim party at Miss Cindy’s on Monday.  It was FUN to get to swim all day!!! We’ll be back with more soon!!

We had a really fun Easter Day this year. We started out by playing in The Big Green Bed, which is what we call Mommy and Daddy’s bed.  Mommy said there was an Easter that we played in a bed back when KiKi was a tiny baby… remember this and this ? Look how small we used to be!  KiKi was way smaller than me then, but now she’s bigger!   KiKi and I love to play and we also like to give hugs.  But she usually pulls me over so we both fall down. Sometimes we rest for a minute.  Shhhh.  Then sometimes we get all silly again!! Then we were doing Easter Day Hoorays!! Then we got ready for church . KiKi always walks faster than me.  But Daddy helps me keep going without KiKi running away. Our dresses weren’t just the same, but they were kind of almost the same. KiKi wore the one that was supposed to be for me, but it’s ok.  I like purple too.  Mommy made new bows for us to...

Today is Grandma C’s birthday!  And on her birthday, we dress up in fun outfits and play with our friends and we get candy!   Yesterday we went to a party at her church, but she wasn’t there because she’s visiting Miss Karen.  I wish I could go visit Miss Karen.  Maybe we’ll take a trip there someday. Tonight we went to another party, and we took Jack with us!  First we stopped at Miss Linda and Mr. Gary’s house to show them how cute we were in our dresses.  And Jack was a handsome boney guy. (Mommy note: Sorry these pictures are kind of weird.  I’m using a borrowed camera…that I love…but I’m not good at using it CORRECTLY quite yet apparently.  And enjoy all the shots of Jack…remember, his mom and dad are on the other side of the world, so we have to share lots of doses of Jack cuteness!)   After we said bye to Miss Linda and Mr. Gary, we went to the party at our church.  They had games and lots of fun things to d...
