Happy Birthday Daddy

Happy birthday to my favorite person in the world! Thanks for listening to music with me, playing ball with me, being my ride-on horsie, laughing at the silly things I say, reading to me, and loving me all the time. You are the best!

Love,

Nicky

Happy Easter!

Dude this has been the best Easter yet! Yes, yes, I know I've only experienced 3 so far in my life. But still, this one was great! Baking with Mama. An Easter egg hunt at the Alerus Center with hundreds of eggs plus facepainting, moonbounces, and a firetruck, and now Easter day with a great Easter egg hunt at home plus an Easter basket filled with goodies! I totally made out. I got a bit of candy, some stickers, plastic animals, a yellow stuffed ducky, a Spiderman baseball hat, some books, a mini flower pot to plant daisies in, and even a Pez dispenser. Score! Mommy took a rare time off from cooking the holiday meal so we all went to the bufet at the Blue Moose instead. Yum!

I got a Bearnstain Bears book recently about how Easter is not all about candy (or toys) or even food, though. Mommy and I have been readin about how in Christianity, it is about Jesus's death and resurrection, and in pagan traditions, it is about spring and new life.

Hope you had a blessed and joyfilled Easter as well!

Here's a few photos and videos of my Easter. Enjoy!

29 Months Old!

What's been up with me, you ask? Well, last month I got my second 2 year molar in, and this month I'm getting the last 2 in. So, I've been busy teething and now have a complete mouth of teeth. I haven't been too grouchy considering all that's been going on in my mouth. Two molars should not come in at the same time, I say! But then again, at least that's all over with. Mom says all my teeth will fall out in about 5 years. WHAT?!!! I'm not gonna think about that.

In other news, just when we thought spring was coming because the snow was melting, we get another snow storm. Ah well. I kinda like the white stuff. Mom says we can go outside more once it gets warmer. I can't wait!! I love the outdoors! And I'm looking forward to trying out my rainboots.

Mom and Dad and everyone, it seems, keep talking about the flooding and the river. Guess its a big deal, though our dike system should keep us safe, they say. Daddy sure is busy taking care of the town and giving interviews. I like seeing him on TV!

Hmm, what else? I continue to love going to Storytime at the library, hanging out with my friends Kael and Asa, and visiting all my relatives. I absolutely LOVE my grandparents. All they do is play with me. Its the best! My Grandma and Grandpa Huizenga came to visit not long ago and they bought my Great-Grandma and Grandpa Deibert with, too! They also brought my beloved Christmas pony from Glenburn. Now I can ride it every day.

Oh, and Easter is coming up so Mommy and made Easter cookies for this weekend and froze them. That was fun! I love cooking with Mommy. She even let me have my own little rolling pin and a little dough. We also made an Easter Bunny House, sorta like a gingerbread house, from a kit from Target. Mommy had fun, but all I wanted to do was eat the icing and candy, not help. That annoyed Mama. Sorry!

Anyway, lots of excitement coming up here including Daddy's Birthday and another visit from the Easter bunny! Catch you again next month!

Happy Birthday Grandma Kathy!!
