tired

N:

Airplane pose! I'm flying through the sky. Airplane pose! Weeee! Ahhh!

 This is a video of me watching a waterfall. It's really cool. You can make the water go up by playing the video backwards.

We went on a big, long hike. I got tired half-way there, and I stopped to take a break to watch the sheep. I ran way up ahead, then I laid down and waited. Mom came and lay down with me. We watched the sheep for a long time. They had a hot chocolate meeting in the middle of the road.

At the end of the walk, I was very tired. I stomped down in the grass. I was very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY tired.

This was at Glenariff Forest Park in the Glens of Antrim in Northern Ireland. 

Dirty Water Sipper

N: 

on Mainguard Street in  Galway City

I foudn a spoon in the park. My dad was thirsty. I asked him if he wanted any water. He said yes. Then he drank it. And then Tucker said, "She found the spoon in the park in the garden in the dirt." Then he said "I don't care." And I said, "And I found the water on the street, too." Then he said, "Yuck!"

Yummy!

N:

This was a very yummy hot chocolate place. The hot chocolate was really yummy. There was other stuff that we could put in there. There were marshmallows, and actual cream, and chocolate sticks. And really really long spoons. They were almost 4 feet long. I drank mine really quickly.

There were some apples. We ate them in a bar. There was a little bit of our apples left when we left.

The rest of my apple I ate at the bridge. The water was really cool. There was a castle, but it was closed. (in Athlone)

On our way back from the Heritage Center

N:

This is the Heritage Center in Athenry. There was lots of cool stuff inside, like Athenry a long time ago. There is still 70% of the wall around Athenry left. 

There was lots of graves. The dungeon was VERY VERY creepy.

Snow Day

N: 

This is me and Tucker. We played outside while it was really really snowy. Tucker got his boot stuck in the snow, and we had to dig it out.

I weared skiing goggles to keep the snow out of my eyes. It didn't work very well because they fogged up though. We went inside and had hot cocoa.

Batgirl

From Halloween. Neave singing her own theme song.

Sledding

N:

This is Cullen falling off a sled when he is sledding. It was fun. Our grandpa made a BIIIIIG pile for us.

We built a snow fort inside of it.

Christmas

N:

This is when we got our new pajamas from our mom. It was on Christmas Eve. Our mom made them by herself.

Christmas was fun. We got some presents we really like. I gave some presents. Some of them were hard to wrap.

When I Lost My First Tooth

N:
I lost my first tooth when I was eating an apple. The Tooth Fairy didn't come the first night, but she came the second night.

Arches National Park

N:

In February, we went on a trip. We were going to visit Grandma Ellen. She lives in California. We took the train. It was fun. We got to see a lot of different views on the train. We got off one time in Arches National Park.

We were on a rock. We all were making weird faces.

Tucker had goals for his trip. One of them was to jump off something higher than his head. This is him jumping.

We are on a rock. We were playing on it. As soon as we saw it, we ran on it and jumped on top of it.

tae kwon do test

N:

This is me sitting in front of the judges when I am testing at my tae kwon do. I am turning into a yellow belt.

Here is me doing my form. One of the kids in my tae kwon do class is a yellow belt. They are turning into a camo belt. And a couple people are turning into decided camo belts. That's what happens after camo.

Here is me moving up from my orange belt to my yellow belt. I am standing by my teacher Mrs. Vermeer.

Little Neave, Big Neave

N: 

I got dressed up to match Daddy's work outfit. Now he's Little Neave and I'm Big Neave.

working on the fort

N:

I built a fort on the west side of the house. It was part of the swing set. We are cleaning a board off it. I screwed in screws and put boards on it. Now we are cleaning it.

We're going to use my fort for the winter. Because it's cold outside in the winter. It is getting colder outside. It is nice and warm in our fort.

Now it is all cleaned. Now, here is my kitty Clara, sitting on the new swing set. We go up and pet her once in a while.

Here we started cleaning it again. Cullen is inside.

Neave's pictures

N:

I like to take pictures of interesting things that I want to remember.

Daddy-doochy-doochy. Daddy is being silly. I took a picture of him. He made a really funny face.

Noah lay-ee

N:

I'm laying with Noah, and petting him. I'm on my knees, and he's laying down. He really likes to lay. He really lays all the time. And when he wants to come inside, he just wants to come inside to lay down.

Now I'm pushing the kitty out of the way, so that I can pet Noah. Noah gets really sleepy. He lays down, he sleeps, and then you wake him up, and he goes right back down to sleep.

I put up some laundry

N:

I put up some laundry. It was windy and hard to reach the clothesline.

I gave all of the clothes to my mama. She put them up with the clothes pins. I gave her all the clothes pins.

Here is me. It was really sunny. I got to ride in the basket. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Now I'm putting up some laundry by myself. It was sunny and warm at that time. It got windier, though.

toad rescue

N:

I went to the Toad Rescue. I caught a toad, and I helped it onto land. I was in the window well, right behind our house.

There's the toad, I tried to catch it. I couldn't. I did catch it finally. It was climbing in the rocky window well. It probably fell into it.

Here's me catching the toad. You can't really see it, but it's between my hands.

Here's me. I caught the toad. Here's when I'm helping it onto land. It's right by my mom's tiny garden. ZZZZZZ

Toady is hopping off away. Hop hop, it says, hop hop. Boing boing.

swing set

N:

I like swinging on the swings. I can go really high. So can Cullen. 

When I first get on, I don't even know how long it takes me to get really high. It doesn't take me long, I know that much.

butt spanking day

N:

All the time, taking picture day! The end.
