Lilly

This is my pet turtle. My dad got her for me. She got out of her cage and crawled across my bedroom, so now we have a new cage for her.

4th of July

This is a picture of me and my Aunt Jenny and Uncle Eric.

This is me with my Uncle Jon and my new cousin Adelyn. We were at the fireworks. I covered my ears during the fireworks because they were so loud. I liked eating cotton candy.

Silly Face Day

Bed Time

Mariah: Mom, the time went past my bedtime right before my eyes. I didn't even see it.

Beach Day

I caught a frog at the beach today. I named it "Zoe."

Feeding the Ducks

I Like to Make a Mess

My mom said it is cleaning day today, but I wanted to play "Confetti" and "Space Ship"

Playing Dress-Up

Planting Flowers with My Dad

Slide Through Fort

I made this all by myself. I love to make tents with the couch cushions.

My Mom Doesn't Understand Me

Mariah: Mom, see if you can guess what I am saying (covering her mouth with both hands and mumbling words)

Mom: Ok

Mariah: thaougyhaotuobnarhgotg

Mom: Hmm, what's for dinner?

Mariah: No, guess again. thaoughyhautuobnarhgotg

Mom: Hmm, I like pizza?

Mariah: No, mom, GUESS what I am saying.

Mom: I give up

Mariah: There is an echo in the canyon!

(Mom's edit--holy cow, what was I thinking?! I should have totally guessed THAT!)

A Day at Grandma and Papi's

Here is a picture of me and my cousins.

We rode in our car to Grandma and Papi's house. When we got there, Nina and Maya were waiting for me. We drove our Barbie Jeep all around the yard. I drove the Jeep and then Nina got to drive too. We were laughing and bumping up and down. It was so much fun. Then we ate lunch and then watched a Barbie movie and played outside some more. After the movie, we ate pizza. After dinner, we rode in the Jeep again and went on the swings. Then we went home.

The end.

Musical 5 (an original song by Mariah)

"I'm a musical rock star
It's a little musical
It's so pretty
Oh yeah
It's a little loud
It's a little too loud

I'm a little microphone

It's a little bitty oh
It's a little video
It's Mariah on tv

It's Hannah Montana
Yeah, its Hannah Montana

Rock star
Rock star
Rock star

Yeah, she loves it, she loves it, she loves it
Yeah, she loves is yeah, she loves it yeah.

She loves it."
(do a fancy twirl spin, then scream at the top of your lungs!)

My Birthday Wish

My wish came true!!!
Ambria and I got a Barbie Jeep!

Splashing in Florida

Me and Ambria playing in the pool and cooling off from the hot sun.

The Clothes Dilemma

On the eve of her 5th birthday...

Mariah: MOM, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO WEAR!!

(Mariah proceeds to collapse on the floor with a closet and dresser FULL of clothes, but she keeps insisting that she has NOTHING to wear!! I hope this isn't a glimpse into the future.)

Sit Still

Ambria won't sit still in an attempt at a conversation.

New Background

Mariah: Mom, I don't like the cupcake background.

Mom: You don't? I think it is really cute.

Mariah: Those cupcakes are NOT cute.

Mom: Ok (looking for new blog backgrounds)

Mariah: Mom, those hearts are sooo adorable. I want that.


Hence...the new background.

Babies

Mariah: Mom, I think I am going to have a baby when I get older.

Mom: You are, huh? Why do you say that?

Mariah: (looking down at her belly) Because my belly is starting to get bigger.

Naked Bed

(Mariah's bed sheets and mattress pad were in the washing machine...)

Mariah: Oh no, don't look at my bed. You can see its UNDERWEAR!!

Two Little Girls Praying

Wednesday Dinner Menu

(We haven't had very consistent homemade dinners lately, so tonight, Mariah got to choose what she wanted for dinner...)

Mom: Mariah, what do you want for dinner?

Mariah: Pickles, pineapple, and a cheese stick.

Mom: Ok, anything else?

Mariah: Orange juice

(You gotta love her. I guess it is pretty healthy. And she ate it ALL up.)

Tuesday Night

Mariah: Mom, I wish Ambria didn't learn how to talk.

Monday Night

Mariah: Mom, I'm not going to school tomorrow!

Mom: Hmmm.

Mariah: Oh, and I am going to have french toast sticks for breakfast with orange juice and for lunch I am going to have bologna wrapped around a cheese stick. Ok, good night.

(Added Note from Tuesday Night: Mariah did go to school today)
