Beth turned 3 this year..she is growing bigger daily and really amazes her parents at times ( OK most of the time). On Sunday Aug 24th Beth had her family and friends over to celebrate. She had picked an Ariel them as she is very much into princesses at the moment. The hat didn't stay on for much of the party but she kept the dress on and the balloons are amazingly still inflated a week later.
Everyone seemed to have fun playing in the backyard with inflatable jump house that her friend Jackson lent for the occasion. The cake was a hit, Beth choose a strawberry filled white cake, and the princess fell into an exhausted heap that night.
Beth's best friend Alex and her family are moving to the Caribbean this fall so that Alex's father can go to medical school. Beth will miss Alex terribly but the girls had fun at the going away party Heather's parent threw for them up in Apple Valley. The party dresses were a hit as were the balloons.
Beth will see Alex again a couple times before she moves and then again in Dec. when they are back in MN for winter/Christmas break.
On Aug 9, 2008 Beth attended her aunt Dawn's wedding in Waterloo, IA. This weekend was full of firsts; first car trip longer than 90 minutes, first night sleeping in a hotel alone with only mommy (daddy stayed home to work around the house), and her first wedding/reception and dance. Beth was a great trooper as she didn't sleep much that day and was around a bunch of people she didn't know/remember. As you can see not much of that bothered her and she had a blast dancing, especially with the bride and her grandma "Hogskins".
Beth and her friend Alex, along with their parents enjoyed a wonderful day at the Como Zoo. There was a picnic to start off the day then the girls enjoyed a wagon ride around the zoo occasionally getting out and running off to see the animals. The especially liked the treats Heather packed to eat in the wagon and both fell fast asleep on the ride back to Mankato.http://picasaweb.google.com/n.becky/ComoZoo#
Beth greatly enjoys hours of fun with her sidewalk chalk and on this day decided to give a try and chalking her hands and face as well.........she had fun but the bathtub still shows scars of that battle :)
On July 18th we spent the evening at Ray Erlson Park enjoying a picnic, playing on the slides and walking around looking at the luminaries giving tribute to and remembrance of those afflicted with cancer. Beth enjoyed the variety of luminary bags especially those brightly decorated as well as all the kid friendly activities available that night. She really enjoyed the bag with her grandma's name on it and wanted to take it home!
Beth's friend Jackson celebrated his 3rd birthday on July 13,2008. The kids had a great time playing in the pool and "jumper" as well as chowing down on pizza and birthday cake. After gifts were opened there was more time to play outside before heading home.
Beth and her friend Alex had a blast playing at the park behind her house. They swang, went down the slides and enjoyed filling up the buckets with mulch to make various projects. After a tough day of playing we all enjoyed a relaxing dinner on the deck.
Beth had a great time playing at the park with uncle Tony, Christine, Yorie, grandma, grandpa and mom and dad on the 4th of July. As you can see Yorie didn't mind the attention once he was safely within eye sight of "mom" (Christine). Beth was so tired after playing hard in Rochester that she was fast asleep once the fireworks began back home and slept right through them....maybe next year!!
