I Pooped!!

"I pooped!"
"Do it myself."
"Shut the door."
"I want to flush it."

Mommy calls it potty trained. I get to wear princess underwear all day unless its nap-time or bed-time. Or unless Daddy is taking me somewhere, he's still a bit nervous about the idea.

insert from mom- just at this moment I was thinking I should get a picture of adalynn on the potty to post on here. So I ask Adalynn if she need to go potty? She says "I do it myself." so I thought I'll just wait till she's sitting on the potty then go in and snap a picture. I'm watching as she goes in shuts the door, and few seconds later she opens the door trows her panties and pants out onto the floor shuts the door again the then i hear her lock it. So much for a picture of her in the potty. A few seconds later I hear the toilet flush and a struggle with the door knob and then "Mom I want out." She cracks me up! not sure why she has to throw her pants into the hall but it sure was funny.

Well I'm 2 years old today. HappyBirthday to me! I am sure you all are wondering what I am up to now that I am 2 so let me tell you.

I lub my Grandma and Grandpa and I lub my Granny and Grandpa and I make sure to tell mom this every day.

I love to sing "ring around the rosey," Once there was a snowman," "If you're happy and you know it," and I love to see the temple."

My Favorite Movie is "Jessie Andy Woody Buz" I also like Tangled.

I really like going to the park and going on walks which means that I am sick of it raining all of the time because then mom won't take me outside.

I love to eat cereal in the mornings

I love to color.

My Favorite color was yellow but I am starting to really like purple.

I am pretty adamant that I get to pick out me own clothes and I usually pick a Skirt, sometimes 2 and sometimes a skirt and pants. But today I wanted pants.

I'll post a bunch of pictures so you can see all the fun things I got to do today for my Birthday!

The outfit I picked out for today. Really I didn't want to wear anything but mom told me I couldn't go to the store untill I put some clothes on.

Jumping

just haning out on the grass watching the cars drive by.


I love to slide and love even more to swing but there wasn't a swing at this park.



Didn't my Mom do such a good job on my cake! I loved it!

Opening presents with Granny and Grandpa. I was so so so glad they came to celebrate my birthday with me.

Loved this gift!

Wow what a fun birthday I had! And its kinda not even over cause on Saturday my BFF Summer and I are having a birthday party together with all of our friends (she turns 2 in just over a week). We are having an Elmo party at the park complete with a pinata and all! Its going to be some much fun! As long as it doesn't snow or rain.

First Date!

My Friend Marcie gave us an extra ticket they had to Disney on Ice so I took Dad on a date. We had a lot of fun!



And I even go to sit be Marcie and watch the show!

I am a huge fan of Mickey Mouse so I thought is was really neat to see him!


Just waiting for Daddy to get ready for our date.

And here are some pictures I thought I'd share with you just for fun!

Like I said earlier, I am a huge fan of Mickey! The books in my hand are my Mickey Mouse Clubhouse books. To say I love them would be an understatement! They go everywhere I go even bedtime and nap time as you can see. Who needs a blanky or stuffed animal when you have these books. If you see me somewhere, anywhere most likely I'll have a book in my hand. I love books even more than Mickey Mouse!

Just hanging out one morning. I say morning cause I'm in my jabbies (jammies is how mom says it) but that's not necessarily true cause sometimes I'm in my jabbies till after my afternoon nape so who knows what time of day it actually is when this picture was taken.

Just enjoying this cookie that is bigger than my face! It was kind of messy and I don't really like being messy and sticky.

So in January mom left me with dad for a long weekend and went down to Las Vegas to meet up with some friend that she met her first year at college. She seemed to have had a blast. She said they spent lots of time talking and laughing and crying and laughing and talking and crying. It was almost too much fun she says. They are planning to do it again in two years in Washington where they all met!

Karaoke Mom was a woose and just watched and laughed, really hard cause these girls are hilarious!

Did I mention that she had way too much fun without me and Dad!

catching up!

Off to Find the perfect Christmas Tree... At Smiths food and drug! My enjoyed this so much more than searching for hours in the Mountains for the perfect Charlie Brown christmas tree. We were in and out and the tree was beautiful!

Yep that's me hugging our beautiful Christmas Tree!


Umm... Yeah... not sure who the guy in the red is but mom and dad seemed to think it would be funny to put me on his lap.

I did NOT think is was very funny!

The day after thanksgiving the Dryden family went into the mountains looking for christmas trees. We just played. I had a lot of fun sliding down the hill with dad!

I think Mom and Dad were glad they just got one form the grocery store.

What girl doesn't love to dress Up!!

Dad was happy to get in some good fall Hunting trips

Chucker hunting in Nevada with Grandpa Hendrix and Moms Brothers

Pheasant Hunting with some friend near Preston.

Fall, Halloween, and Fun

Oh dear!! Where to begin... I am not sure how I feel about fall and Halloween after this weekend it been all sorts of crazy fun! Saturday my Best Friend Summer and I went to the Pumpkin Patch, our CRAZY moms took us of course. I call them crazy because it was pouring rain! Maybe they were thinking it would stop by the time we got there... but it didn't! It did however let up a bit when we were getting into the car to go home (should have waited a bit longer don't you think). So here is how it went, They put us in the wet, muddy carts, Sydney held an umbrella over Summer and I while mom wheeled us as fast as she dared out to the patch. Summer and I were shivering like crazy but still laughing and smiling. We hurried like mad women to find some decent pumpkins and then got back in the carts. this is when dad finally showed up to save Summer and I from our CRAZY moms. But we had to take a Family picture before he could rescue us. We hurried back to shelter weighed the pumpkins, payed and were off. WOW! It was a fun adventure and we enjoyed it but next year I think i might suggest we go when its NOT raining!

Saturday evening we all went to the neighborhood trunk-or-treat. I wasn't real sure what this whole trunk-or-treating was all about, but I figured it out pretty quick! Basically you go from car to car and take candy out of their buckets and If you're too shy to take it yourself they just give it to you or throw it in your basket. Its perfect! The only downfall Is that you have to wear a goofy outfit. But everyone seemed to think mine was cute so I guess I won't complain!

Sunday both Mom and Dad had to teach lessons at church and since I am only two weeks away from 18 months, (yes I know I am growing up way too fast, mom tells me every day) they took me to Nursery. What I can't figure out is how I didn't know about this place before and why they made me stay with them in those boring classes that they go to. This place had real toys to play with! Not those dumb things mom carries around in her bag and they had treats and there were tons of kids to play with. I think I am going to enjoy church from now on!

Today, Monday we went with a few friends to Discovery Gateway. This place was AMAZING! WOW! they have so many cool things to do and to play with. I wonder if they can make the Nursery at church more like this place?! They had tons of those cars I could get in and drive around, those are my favorite. That is on the top of my wish list for Santa! There was also a Big horse I got to sit on a few times, and water to play with as well as tons of balls which if you know me well you know I LOVE balls! It was the greatest place ever!




Needless to say this weekend has been blast and I am loving Halloween! except for the weather I could do without adventures in the pouring rain, its just too cold!

Oh No! I forgot the most exciting news of all. I got my first hair cut on Friday and I LOVE it! No more bangs in my eyes, it's so great! She trimmed up the back and cut me some bangs. Mom can't stop telling everyone how cute my haircut is! Mom is too shy to tell you, but she got her hair chopped off too and it looks sooo good and so very short. Amber was a little nervous cutting so much off but mom just kept telling her to go shorter and shorter and it turned out pretty stinkin cute! If any of you are looking for a good stylest Amber's the best! except she did make my mom hold my head in place so she could cut my bangs, I didn't really like that! But she did let me play with all of her product bottle and scatter them around the house, that was probably my favorite part of the whole experience!

What's wrong with the bathroom?

The bathroom is my Favorite place to play! I am pretty sure its mom and dad's favorite place too, they go in there multipul times a day! Thats the first place they go when they get up in the morning and they spend forever in there playing with their faces and hair. They are always playing with the water that comes out of the sink and then the towel hanging on the wall. They open and close cupboards taking things out and putting things in. Needless to say they play in there all of the time. Yet the second I walk it there its no this and no that. I can't reach the water in the sink but there is water in the toilet so I just play in there and boy does that make dad and mom upset, but then they pick me up and let me play with the water in the sink, I don't get it! I love opening the cupboards and playing with whatever is in them! Tampons are my favorite! It's so fun to take them out of the box and carry them around the house, I can carry a bunch at one time and leave a small trail around the house. But dad does NOT like me to play with those! And the coolest thing in the Bathroom is the toilet brush! But the second I go near it they yell NO and lift me up set me outside the room and shut the door. Whats the big deal?! Mom plays with it sometimes, in the toilet even, and there is no yelling NO and stetting her outside the bathroom and shutting the door. I just don't understand why they get to play in there all of the time and can't! Can someone explain this to me?

Atlanta Georgia

Those that really care I am sure already know, but, Uncle Jeff did get his call over a month ago and he is going to Atlanta Georgia. He leaves November 10. Everyone else seems excited for him to go but I am not! Cause that means I don't get to play with him for 2 years!
