Thanksgiving

Well Thanksgiving has come and gone and I don't have any pictures of me with any turkey or dressing.  But rest assured that I was around of plenty of turkeys, also some pigs and a cow or two.  We traveled south for Thanksgiving, then East, then back North again.  We got to see most all the family.  Check out below for information about the trip.

I can't remember if I formally introduced you to Lamby or not.  We are pretty much inseparable.  It might even be becoming a problem.  Here he is on my tricycle.

Here we are at the fountain outside Hi Mama and GrandDaddy T's house.  Notice Lamby is with me running from the fountain as well.

Remember Mims...you know the cow Mims from last year.  Well this is Mims III.  Cows apparently grow quicker than little girls.

I call this picture.  Cows at Sunset

This one is called Girls and those Cows, At Sunset"

Running to go feed the horses

Margie Kate just showed Ryan and I how to feed Uno.  All you do is poor some oats in a bucket.  Pretty cool.

Look how at home Mama is on the farm.  Oh, and don't judge the farm by the size of this truck.  This is just the truck for little people.  There are big trucks for big people and a big trailer for big cows.

Autumn

This Autumn has seemed to last quite a while, which is not a complaint, just an astute observation.  Although plenty have fallen, we still have plenty of leaves to on the tree as well.  Fall usually brings a good picture opportunity or two.  See below...

I was in Meridian last weekend and got to visit with Grand Daddy, Lala and Mama Coats.  We had a good ole time.

This is a good place to be in Meridian, on the back porch in a rocking chair.  I just need a little sweet tea and a breeze and I will be good to go.

We took a walk around Oxford on Sunday afternoon.  There were leaves, baby acorns, daddy acorns and pecans everywhere.  We also ran into a squirrel named Skeeter.

To finish up the weekend Dada and I made some pizzas.  The problem with making your own pizza is the time it takes and the mess you make.  Little Ceasers makes pizzas in about 30 seconds.  Dada makes pizza in about 3 hours.  Not only does the dough have to rise, you also have to cook it!  And don't even get me started on the mess that flour makes.  It was everywhere.

My pizza was just my size so I loved it.

We did

We did go trick-or-treating this year, and I have the pictures below as proof.  Sorry it took me so long to get them to you.  Everything I publish has to be cleared by my publicist and she has been out of town.  Okay, look below for the never before seen photos...

Here are my scary and happy pumpkins.  We had a great time carving them and Mama makes the best roasted punkins seeds between Hwy 7 South and Billy Brewer's back yard.

Okay, the debut of the dress.  In case you can't tell I am Rapunzel.  She was in the new movie Tangled and asked me to wear here dress for Halloween because she was going to be out of town.  I have been growing my hair out all week to get the look right.

Here I am at school with my classmates.  As you can see I brought my candy bag as I was ready to go trick-or-treating even though it was 8:15 in the morning.

Ok, it is now Halloween night and we are at the neighborhood party at the pool house.  Here I am with my favorite conductor, Robert.

Guess who does not hang out together...Rapunzel and Chubaka.  He needs to go back to his own Galaxy.

Guess who does hang out together...Rapunzel and Jessie.  I was so excited to see here.

As you may remember, this is how I trick-or-treat.  In my wagon with Mama as my chauffeur.

Look who else was there, one of the dwarfs that knows Snow White.  He apparently knows Santa too since he borrowed Santa's beard and suit.

Jessie's Dad, Buzz Lightyear was there too.  He is so fast that the picture is a little blurry.   They don't call him Buzz for nothing.

Here I am with Snow White about to go get some candy.

Finally, here I am with the rest of the hood taking a hayride to my next destination.  Hope everyone had a great Halloween like I did.

Who had a party?

Just in case you have been out of touch with the Oxford social scene in the past week or so I wanted to mention an event that happened last weekend.  This event was my one and only 3rd birthday party.  We had great time and the events leading up to the party were great too.  Thanks to all who attended, including William and Kate.  I can't believe they came across the pond just for my birthday.

I awoke bright and early on my actual birthday and got to meet this little guy hiding in the corner of his tank.  I promptly and appropriately named him Nemo.  He is the only boy fish on the block with a pink castle in his tank and he loves it.  His light is also my new night light.  That's my jam.

Ok, fast forward to 2:15 PM at school.  Directly after nap time.  As you may remember from last year David Doss and I share a birthday.  That's right I said share.  Many of you may think I don't know that word but I do.  Now give me that toy you are playing with.

This is my "I'm about to eat a blue cupcake" look.

And this is my "I just ate a blue cupcake" look.  By the way, Hi Mama made it to the birthday party. 

Ok, fast forward again.  Now it is evening and I am all dressed up for my birthday dinner.  I got to open my present.  Candy Land, or as I like to call it.  I Win again Land. 

After opening my present we had reservations at Chef Bovine's new restaurant...Chik-fil-a.  They have great chicken strips and a play-room that is second to none.  I think Dada was the only one there in a tuxedo.  He said everyone else did not know it was my birthday so they were not dressed as formally.

Do a double take!  Its now time for a birthday party.  I was so excited that I got a rash, skipped my nap and put on a princess outfit.  Lala and Grand Daddy made the party too.

And where did this new Princess outfit come from?  Well Aunt Sissy of course.  (Programming note: You may see this costume again close to the end of the month)

Here we have the Lowery girls and JoAnna working on their crowns.  Papa Lowery was quite the creative inspiration behind some of the best crowns of the day.

Look at all these kids having a ball or two...or three.  Only took us about 2 days to get all 52 blown up.

I even had a couple LSU fans dressed in purple come to the party.  Thanks for coming Lala and Alma.  See if we can find some Red or Blue next time please.

Joe even made the trek across the driveway to the party.  And he brought his little Princess McKenzie over.

What is a party without a little entertainment.  We rocked the mic and tickled those keys for a good while.  I thought a flash mob was about to form.

Knox is all strapped in for a trip through the garden.  Knox is a big proponent of safety straps.

Jojo, also a fellow birthday sharer of mine made an appearance as well.  He looks like a 3 year old manikin in this pic.

Cupcake time.  I don't know if we had too many people or two few cupcakes but it got a little hectic for a while.

And the calm after the party.  I got my blue blanket and checked out all the wonderful presents my friends brought me.  I am checking out my new glass slippers right now.  Thanks for everybody who came.

Stretching Summer into Fall

Back from a quick trip to Lake Bruin. We had a nice relaxing trip. It was hot this weekend which made it an excellent weekend to be at a lake. This was also the last time for me to be at a lake while still being a small child. That's right, come Thursday I will be a 3 year old big girl. I am excited, as is most of North Mississippi.

Here is most of the crew from the lake trip.  We left 3 more on land and Dada was not allowed in the picture.  I am sitting in Wilson's lap.  Unfortunately for me, Wilson's lap did not make the picture.

This was where I spent the Saturday night before last.  Out by the fire in my Ole Miss turtle neck and my Ole Miss sweatsuit.  Watched us roll over the Bulldogs from Fresno that night.

Welcome to my office.  This is where I work on homework, doodle and write the rough draft for my blog.

Ok, back to the lake pictures.  Here I am with William.  Apparently I am good with adults because he seems to enjoy my company.

He does not always take jokes that well though.  As you can see I thought I told a great joke but William did not take is so well.

Here is Mama enjoying the ride.

Here is Dada with Captain Wilson.  Captain Wilson probably should have been facing forward since the boat was moving but he got use home safely so I guess I should not be so critical.

Mama sometimes thinks she is famous.  I finally see why.

Dada sometimes thinks he is handsome.  I'm still trying to figure that one out.

I thought I should add this jewel also.  T is leading me, Lamby and my new balloon back to the car.  We had a good lunch.
