Sometimes Mommy and Kennedy come pick me up from Jennifer's house with the stroller and then we stop at the park on the way home! I love to go to the park! I learned how to pump when I am swinging, so once Mommy gives me a good push I can keep going really high. Mommy even took Kennedy on the swing with her today! She loved it!!
Mommy Kennedy and I took a road trip to Storm Lake last weekend. We went there to help Brent celebrate his 50th birthday! It was so fun to see the Croker gang!! They were really happy to meet Kennedy and to see me too!! Then we headed off to Fort Dodge. I got to play with Andee and Emma the whole day on Sunday and had lunch with Cambree and Samantha on Monday! We always have the best time together! I love going to Gigi and Grandpa Pats house in Fort Dodge. of course Gigi made me pancakes too!
Kennedy is officially Mommy's new running partner. I still go every once in a while, but I would rather hang with Daddy or play with the neighbors, or I am at Jennifer's house so Kennedy just gets to go!! She loves the stroller just as much as I do!!
I was practicing holding Kennedy today. i even got to carry her to her swing!
Mommy and Daddy were trying to get Kennedy to stand last night! They had me standing when I was young too, but I was 5 months and Kennedy is only 2 months! Mommy and Daddy are so funny!

We went to Shenandoah last weekend for Ava's birthday! It was fun seeing Joey! We played the whole time! Jessica and her friend played with us too! Ava got a cool kitchen set and Joey and I got to play with it too! Ava is just so cute!
Mommy took Kennedy and I to the zoo with Lexi and Mallory! We got to see tons of animals and it was a fun day. The weather was beautiful and the concessions were closed so mommy like it better than last time. I liked seeing the tigers and the monkeys best. I did not like the aligator part that much. It was a little scary!
Aunt Mila was watching Lexi for the weekend and we got to spend tons of time together! Here are some cute pictures from our weekend! Kennedy is still too little to play with us, but Mommy was trying to make her feel including by pretending she was coloring with us! Someday she will be old enough to actually play with us!
Kennedy Mommy Aunt Mila and I all went to the Millard Days Parade. We took two strollers one for kennedy and one for me. I got to take my dog purse and pack in as much candy as possible!
Football season is here! It is pretty fun cause we always get together with friends and watch the games. Well I do not watch the game, I just run around and play!! Mommy got Kennedy and I some Husker gear!
Mommy and I took Kennedy to Fort Dodge to see gigi and Grandpa Pat and meet all our friends! I got to play with my friends!
Mommy and I went to Lexi's house for an end of the summer swim party! There were tons of kids there and it was really fun. I got to have 3 bombpops in one day!!
I told my Mommy that we need to take Kennedy back to the hospital and get a new baby because this one spits up too much! Mommy tried to explain to me that we can't just take her back, but I thought it was a pretty good idea!
Kennedy is so little and cuddly! She just hangs out with me while I watch TV. i am not supposed to hold her or pick her up by myself. But, one day when she was only 5 days old I moved her from her swing to the floor while Mommy was in the office. She did not like it much. i am not sure I did the right way. But, she survived and that is all that really matters:)
My baby sister Kennedy has a LOT of hair! It is so out of control. I mean I had some hair when i was born, but Kennedy her hair is CRAZY! She even has a little rat tail in the back. Mommy jokes around and puts a bow in the back:) Here is a picture of kennedy's crazy hairdo!
Lesli and Prasad happen to be visiting the weekend Kennedy was born, so they were able to see her when she was only 3 days old!
Here we are getting ready to go home from the hospital! I was so excited to show my little sister her new room. Although we had to stop at pottery barn on the way home to get her some girl bedding cause Mommy had boy bedding:)
My baby sister Kennedy was born on July 31st 2011! I was so happy to meet her. When I first saw her it brought a tear to my eye. Mommy thought it was so cute! When Kennedy came out of Mommy's tummy Daddy said.. "It's a girl" with a little chuckle! Now it is 3 to 1:) HAHA Daddy! Here are some picture of Kennedy's first couple days of life!
Mommy skipped over this very important event! Ugh! That is what she get for trying to cover 6 months of my life in one morning!! Aunt Jenny got married and i was the flower girl! It was such a fun day and I did really good! I got to wear a beautiful dress and get my hair done! Here are some pictures from the wedding! Aunt Jenny was a beautiful Bride!!
Mommy had me take a picture of her belly. She was 37 weeks and about to have the new baby. I am actually a pretty good photographer!
I went to the MN Dance Camp and had a great time. I love hanging out with the dancing girls!
We had a busy 4th of July weekend! We spent most of the weekend at Meme and Papa's and then went to Lexi's house for a BBQ and sparklers.
MeMe and Papa moved to the lake and it is so much fun. Here is a picture of me playing on the beach!
I got to go to Fairy Dance Camp at kitty Lee. It was so much fun. We went everyday for a week and then we had a little performance for our parents. Grandma Gigi and Mila came to watch me too!
We went to my friend haley's country club to watch fireworks. It was really cool. They went on for a long time and then we got to dance to the band. Haley and I are great friends and it is so fun when we all get together!
My Aunt Julie had been living with my Gigi and Grandpa Pat for a few months. My Mommy told me Aunt Julie was sick. Every time I came to visit it was fun to see Aunt Julie and she always painted my nails! In June Aunt Julie went to heaven. My Mommy told be she was up in heaven with Gigi's Mommy, Daddy and Meme's Daddy. I told my Mom I wanted to go in a hot air balloon so I could go see everyone in heaven, but apparently it doesn't work that way!
Here is a picture of Dani and I by the special board we made for Aunt Julie!
I had my first dance recital this year! it was so much fun. I am not sure I did the dance to the best of my ability, but tap just really doesn't let me express myself the way my improving in the office at home does. But, I did look pretty darn cute and I waved to Madison the entire time. Daddy got my attention right away so I could stand there and wave the entire dance. I guess I did a could jumps and turned in a circle but waving was just much more fun! The above pic it me with my dance friends Haley, Lexi and Mallory. The other one is my with some of the dancing girls, Cari and Abbie!
Mommy and I stopped at Wal-Mart and wouldn't you know there was a jump house there! So, I got to play for a while! That was the funnest trip to Wal-Mart ever!
Meme and Papa bought a new house and it is getting all fixed up! The coolest part is it on the lake annnnndddd Papa bought 2 boats and some TUBES!! YEAH that is right we get to go to the lake every weekend for the rest of our lives!! WHOOT WHOOT! Mommy tells me I am so so lucky, because growing up around a lake is really fun! So, we celebrated our last Memorial Day at Meme and Papa's old house with the pool.
This pic actually was not from that weekend, but Mommy thought it was worth posting, so here ya go!
Daddy is trying to teach me to write my name. I wonder why Mommy and Daddy had to give me such a long one, wouldn't I be lucky if my name was Ann or something! That would be much easier than Delaney!
My Mommy was pregnant for a very long time. She first found out she was pregnant in July of 2010, but that baby just couldn't grow, so then she got a new baby in her tummy in November! The baby was due in Aug. I was so excited about being a big sister. I didn't really get it for the longest time because I could tell there was really a baby growing, but then Mommy's tummy started getting bigger and bigger. I got to go to the doc with her and see the baby on a tv. it was so cool. But we didn't get to find out what kind of baby it was going to be. Mommy and Daddy wanted it to be a surprise just like they did with me. I said most of the time I wanted it to be a sister. I thought having a sister just like my Mommy would be cool. Then someday we could hang out together and go shopping and talk about dance:) Here is a pic of my baby in my Mommy's tummy and me at Dr. Fleming's office!
In May I got my tonsils out! It was kind of scary cause they had to put an needle in my arm, but I was brave and now I have no more sore throats. My Mommy could not stop talking about how great I handled the procedure. I was drinking apple juice right when I woke up and eating yogurt that night!! I love not having tonsils!!! Thank you Dr. Head for letting me get rid of those yucky things!! Also thank you to Dr. Doubleman for getting me through the surgery safely!
This is a picture of me recovering! Already smiling:)
My Mommy's friend Nicole had a baby! It is a girl and her name is Bryce. I then decided my Mommy should have a baby girl too so they could be friends because obviously I am much much older!! She is so cute and Nicole lets me hold her!!
For Easter this year we went to Sioux City and stayed with Grandpa Bud and Grandma Julie. It was a lot of fun. We had an Easter Egg hunt, the Easter Bunny brought me a scooter and some other great gifts and Grandpa Bud made me Waffles!! I then got to wear a beautiful Pink dress and go to church with Grandma Peggy!!
