Today Mommy took us to this new place called Little Monkey business.  It’s a play place with slides and fun things to play on.  Since it was just us girls, she didn’t bring her big camera, and so her pictures aren’t very good.  iPhone isn’t very good at taking pictures inside with fast moving girls!

This one was kind of like the things you see on a playground.

This play structure was like a giant cube that you could crawl inside of.  The slide was a fun way to get out!

Here was the biggest structure at the place.  It had net like things to walk and crawl on.  I didn’t really like it, but Autumn liked to play in it.  These things are like horses you can bounce on.

This one is really blurry, but you can see the thing we played on.

Autumn could do it by herself.

Blurry because she was going soooooo fast!

This was a tree you could play inside of.


I called this the castle.

Here’s 2 tunnels I crawled through.

Before we left we went into the art room.

Our most recent adventure was to Las Vegas!  Mom, Caitlin, and Jeff had a show to work at, so Ryland, Autumn, and I played with Alicia, just like in San Antonio.  BUT, this trip Pony, Diane, Grandma, and Allie came too!  We had lots of people to play with and did lots of fun stuff!

You wouldn’t believe how many people think Autumn and Ryland are twins, especially when they ride in the stroller together!  On this adventure Auntie Cait and Jeff went to see the Blue Man Group, so Mommy was in charge of all of us.  She had lots of help though!  We loaded up and went the hotel Diane and Pony stayed at.  Alicia and Allie came to help get us there.

Ryland had a necklace on because he kept pulling Autumn’s and she didn’t like that!

Me, on the other hand, I wasn’t so sure about going anywhere!

Autumn was thirsty so Diane helped her drink from a big girl bottle.  Only Diane wasn’t so good at helping so Autumn got all wet and Grandma had to dry her pants with the hair dryer.

Grandma was helping Ryland with his walking.

Allie and I went to find a treat for me to eat.  The silly people in the elevator thought she was my mommy!

After we ate dinner we went for a walk to see the water show.  Somewhere along the way Grandma, Mom, and the kids lost Auntie Diane in the Bellagio hotel.  Mom says the dinging and lights were just too much for her to handle.

We took a picture with the sparkling horse.

The next night we went to this dinner place called a buffet.  It’s where you go get your own food and they have all kinds of things to choose from.  I was having a hard time deciding what to get.

Alicia didn’t have any trouble deciding on cotton candy.

We took another walk to the dancing water show at the Bellagio.  This time Pony, Diane, Grandma, Allie, and Alicia decided to go play on the machines making all the noise.

Autumn, did you see the water dancing around?!

One day when everyone was working, Alicia made us pasta for lunch.  The babies had to sit on a towel so they wouldn’t get it all over the floor.  Boy are they messy eaters!

See my friends sitting with me?

I don’t think I want her to sit with me…

Do I have too?  Fine…

Come here Autumn, you can sit with us.

Uncle Jeffrey was calling to see how to get everyone to Roy’s for dinner.  The babies were trying to help.

Autumn was enjoying a nice cup of milk while relaxing in the tub.

And here are some silly Autumn faces.

Can you guess what is happening here?  I bet you can’t!

Auntie Cait and I were playing a game where we were calling each other wrong names.  She called me Kala and asked if I needed to go shi-shi outside .  (like Kala the dog does)  I said yes, so we took my potty outside and I went!

Bet you didn’t get to watch the cars go by when you were on the potty in Vegas!

The last day, no one had to work so we went to the Mirage hotel to see the dolphins and the Secret Garden.

The wall to the dolphin pool was so low, I really wanted to go swimming with them, but Mom said I couldn’t.

This dolphin swam right by us, and seemed to be looking to see what we were doing.

Next we walked to the garden part where all the big cats were.

Let’s lay and rest like the lion.

Kisses for Aunie Caitlin.

Squishies for Autumn.

Phew, we’re exhausted!

These are some of the “sight-seeing” pictures Mommy took.

Today Mom and I went to an event called Reach Out and Read.  It was a fund raiser that helps earn money for books for kids who are at risk for school failure.  These books get donated to hospitals, health centers, and pediatricians and selected areas.  The medical professionals give them to the kids that come in for appointments.  At the fund raiser there were all kinds of fun things for me to do.

There were lots of stations that were themed around a book.  Like at Harold and the Purple Crayon station I colored a picture, and at the Eating the Alphabet:Fuits and Vegetables from A to Z, I made guacamole with people from Chipotle!  It was yummy!

The  Mitten-I made a bag puppet.

When Dinosaurs Came with Everything-I made a dinosaur puppet.

The Curious Garden-I got to look and touch plants

Frog and Toad-I threw rings on the stick in the pool.

Library Lion-I made a bookmark

I also got to play with trucks, dress up like Fancy Nancy, take my picture with a real photographer, and listen to stories.  It was lots of fun and I got to do it with Mommy all by myself!
