Six Weeks Worth Of Hannah

Hannah and Dad are playing airplane. The two of them are silly together.

Hannah is going to the Santee Rec Center 2yr-old preschool class on M/W/F. This is a picture of her on her first day. She is getting really good at routines and interacting with the other children.

Hannah and her preschool class went to Santee City Hall for trick-or-treating today. As you can see, our little bumble bee was buzzing.

Here is our bee smiling for Dad.

Here is her preschool class and the 3yr-old class posing for a photo shoot.

So Proud!

Hannah tried out the Balboa Park Merry-Go-Round for the first time. She has always been wary of it because it goes fairly fast for a carousel. She is riding a deer, her animal of choice right now.

We took Hannah apple picking up near Julian a couple of weeks ago. She enjoyed running up and down the aisles and occasionally picked up a quality apple for us to put in our bag. I ended up making an apple pie with the approximately 8 pounds of apples Hannah chose that afternoon.

Hannah's new favorite hobby is coloring. She can spend almost an hour relaxing with her markers and crayons. We are big fans of this!

We are very proud of our little girl. She is starting to want to sit on the potty. We try as much as we can to encourage her to use either this one or the big potty with a little seat on it.

We are also making sure she understands the fine art of "private library time".

More Summer Fun

We took Hannah RV'ing at Big Bear Lake. She loves the outdoors. One day, she even hiked 1/2 mile all by herself!

Our crazy kid!

Our Trip To St. Louis

Hannah is running down a hill on the side of her uncle's house. She liked running up and down it over and over.

Hannah had some birthday presents from her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. As you can see, she was excited to open them.

Here is Hannah passed out after a fun morning with her grandma, aunts, and cousins. We went to see the sights and sounds of downtown St. Louis while she enjoyed this nap.

Hannah and her cousin, Joshua, enjoyed watching movies together.

Stephen's dad, Stephen, and I are standing at the foot of the Arch and the Mississippi River. A very awesome place.

Daddy and Hannah are enjoying themselves in the pool. You might think Hannah would be scared of something like this, she actually loves it and asks to get thrown up over and over.

Here is the mellow side of hanging in the pool.

Mmmmm...pizza...

Birthday Cupcakes!

This is what life is all about!

Play!

Hannah has been spending time with her friend, Harper. They are learning to play together, which is very exciting for both of them. Hannah and Harper and good at sharing, especially when it comes to eating lunch.

Hannah was helping Nana set the table for dinner. We spent the night in the motorhome to test out how well she would do in a different bed. She did very well.

Summer Time At The Zoo

Hannah was extremely pleased to be able to sit on top of this prehistoric elephant. At the Elephant Odyssey, the new exhibit at the zoo, there is a section of animal statues. They are animals that existed on the North American continent many years ago.


One of Hannah's favorite activities at the zoo is to ride the skyfari. She loves to look around at the exhibits as we pass over them. At certain points you can see the pandas and the gorillas.


Our future dentist was thorough in checking the teeth of this large prehistoric cat.


Someone got her learner's permit! Okay, maybe not, but we do like Hannah's choice in friends. She kept patting the shotgun passenger on the head, reassuring him that she is a careful driver.

Hannah is very concerned about the nutritional intake of the goats in the petting zoo. She makes sure that the goat she has chosen gets plenty of hay to eat. The specially chosen goat is extremely pleased to have such care and attention.
