I'm 3!!

I turned 3 on August 2nd! We celebrated my birthday in Bellevue, Nebraska with lots of friends and family. I got to have a CARS birthday. Grandma Dammast found someone to make the coolest CARS cake too . . . check out the picture! I got so many great presents that mom won't even let me open them all right now. Thank you to everyone that helped me celebrate! I had alot of fun!

It's about time . . .

that mom got on the ball and let you know what I've been up to!!

Well, first I'll share some of my final pics from Australia. I just had to get my picture taken with the animal murals that were near our house. Each day as mom drove by them I would shout, "Hi, Koala", or "Hi, Crocodile" . . . aren't they great? These murals were painted under an overpass of the motorway. Mom & Dad says it's a great idea so you don't have to stare at ugly cement walls all the time. I think they are wonderful because it gives me something beautiful and bright to look at everyday.

I also wanted to share some pictures of my Kiah school. Not all of my teachers were available for pictures but I was happy to get photos of those that were there on my last day at Kiah.


I survived the REALLY LONG plane ride back to America. Mom had promised me that we would have a TV/video screen at our seats on the flight back . . . but she was wrong! I spent alot of time watching my iPod, coloring, sleeping, and wandering around. Fourteen hours is a looooong time to be on an airplane.

We finally arrived back in America on July 10, 2008. Mom & Dad had been telling me about America for quite awhile now (I don't really remember much about it from before.) Well, I got off the plane, looked around, and said, "So, where IS America?" Hmmmmm . . .

After arriving in Denver, Colorado and flying for over 22 hours straight we jumped in a car and drove for three more hours to Kimball to visit Grandma and Grandpa Perry. It was wheat harvest time in Kimball and dad wanted to try to help and also check out our farm ground in the area. I was able to ride with dad in the combine during harvest and ride with Uncle Justin in the tractor hauling the grain cart. I also had fun going to the Kimball swimming pool, playing with Bella (Uncle Justin's dog), and meeting lots of friends and family at a welcome home dinner in Kimball.
