4 Years, 2 Months...Lots of family fun!

I was able to go to Spring into Reading at Ellie and Mommy's school.  There were all kinds of activities, but I preferred staying with Mrs. Gross and Miss Waidmann so I could color bookmarks.  I was so excited and told Mommy, "Now I have my very own bookmark!"  I had a lot of fun playing outside after the event was over with Ellie and Bennett (Mrs. Mantle's son.)
Our whole family took a spring break the next week and had a lot of fun.  We went to the library and Kohl's and Bonkers.  I had my 4 year check up.  I am now 38.8 lbs and 43 inches tall.  I even got to get a big girl car seat since Ellie outgrew it!   Our family did puzzles and played games like Cootie and Silly Socks.  When Mommy dropped some of the socks, I yelled, "Socks galore!"  I was able to have a play date with Autumn (my baby friend).  We had a lot of fun coloring and playing in her room.  She is as bossy as I am!
This was also the week that Papa Rick and Nana Peggy came into town.  We had a surprise visit with Uncle David and Jordyn too!  We got to go to Aunt Lisa's a few times and played fun family games and played with my cousins.  We went out to lunch with them too, and celebrated Easter after a couple other Easter celebrations.
We took a trip to see Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom for Easter too.  I had so much fun hunting my orange eggs.  I talked to my first one and told him I was going to find to find his orange pals.  It was so much fun, and we got to play with our cousins too.  The next morning, Mommy created a scavenger hunt for us to find our Easter surprises.  After that, we went to Nana Arden and Papa Rodney's and had breakfast and an Easter egg hunt.  I love spending time with my family!
It was hard going back to school the next day.  We got our dresses for our dance recital and it looks like so much fun!  We also got to have a PJ day at school.  When we went outside, I told Miss Jodi, "My mom never lets me play outside without clothes on!"  The next week, we had picture day at school.  I felt so fancy!
I spend lots of time running errands with Mommy.  I really like to shop with her and help out.  She also took me to Nohlan's birthday party at Tiger Bounce.  I had a lot of fun climbing and running around.  Our family also tried out a new church.  It was hard to sit still and be quiet, but I really liked the music and looking at all the people.
I have changed my mind a couple of times on what I want to be when I grow up.  I started off saying that I want to be a movie star, but now I am pretty set on being a fire fighter.  Either way, I told Mommy, "When I grow up, I'm not going to live at this house.  I'm going to live at the fire station."
