So this moving stuff is really confusing. I thought when we sold our house that meant we couldn't take any of our stuff with us. Thank goodness I was wrong. I found out we even get to take our swing set!!! We don't get to take the landscaping though....I asked.
Mommy and Daddy have been backing a lot of the things that can go into storage. Mommy was packing up stuff in the closet in Phoebe's room Friday night. I said "How are we going to pack Phoebe?" Mommy explained that we can't pack Pheebs in a box we'll just put her in the car with us.
Today when Mommy was packing I started to wonder something so I just asked "How will we pack the bath tub and shower?" Mommy said those stay with the house.
Wow! This is going to be an exciting time.

Big Changes are a Comin'!!!
Big changes are starting to happen at my house. Well, they started happening about a month ago when my family bought land to build a house on. The thing was, we couldn't start building until we sold our house. Mommy and Daddy didn't want to be stuck with two house payments if our house didn't sell in time. I understand why. Mommy said I wouldn't be able to get as many new clothes and shoes. YIKES!!!!! That would be terrible. It happened Friday evening though. An offer came through on our house.
A Doctor moving from Arkansas bought our house. He wants to get his family here as soon as possible. He's asked a closing date on or before August 10. In this housing market there isn't really a lot of negotiating room for stuff like that. Our family leaves for Florida on August 7th. Mommy and Daddy don't have to be at closing so we can still take our trip.
All of this means though we need to move the weekend of July 1/August 1. This is where the sad part comes in. We aren't sure where exactly we are going. Mommy and Daddy will figure it out. Mommy said she will be saying "It's just temporary" A LOT! It's going to be an adjustment for all of us until our new house is actually built.

Gift Cards for My Birthday
I got two gift cards for my birthday this year. One from Aunt Hilary for Target and one from Aunt Emily for Toys R Us. Tonight Mommy took me out and let me spend them.
We went to Target first because it was on our way to Toys R Us. I was intending to buy a toy. When walking back to the toys you have to walk right past the clothes. When I saw the clothes I said "CLOTHES! I WANT CLOTHES!" I picked out a brown & blue dress and a yellow shirt. Then we walked back to the toys. I got a Snow White doll that is like a Polly Pocket. That is the only one that I didn't get as a gift for my birthday. Now I have all of them! Here is a picture. THANK YOU AUNT HILARY!!!!
Next we went to Toys R Us. I picked up a Toy Story figure at first. Then I kept shopping some more and found this really cool doll with an accessory kit. She came with LOTS of clothes for me to change over and over and over and over again....with Mom's help. I just LOVE this doll. Here is a picture. THANK YOU AUNT EMILY!

My Four-Year-Old Checkup
Today I had my four-year-old checkup. I'm a growing girl. Everything looked good. I'm a tall & skinny little thing. Here are my stats:
Height: 41 inches (75th percentile)
Weight: 31 lbs (20th percentile)
BMI: 13% (1 percentile)
While my BMI is just in the 1 percentile, I'm still healthy. Technically I'm underweight, BUT my whole life I've not weighed much. I'm growing at my own pace. I'm just tall and thin, and that's ok. I don't look scrawny. My Dr. said it's nothing to worry about.

I'm FOUR!
Four years ago today my Mommy sat down at her desk at work and I decided I was ready to come out. Three weeks early! That's not too bad though. I tried to make my entrance into this world five weeks early.
At 2:00 pm Mommy went to the Dr. and at 4:18, I was born. Just after A-Rod hit a walk off home run for the Yankees.
I had a GREAT birthday. It all started with a party with my friends and Grandparents on Saturday at Midstate Gymnastics. We got to bouncy in a bounce house, slide down some BIG slides and go through a bouncy obsticle course. It was so much fun playing with all of my friends.
Today Mommy took brother and I to Knights Action Park. It was so fun. I still don't like the slides, but I like the kiddie slides and kiddie pool...and the Lazy river too. That's probably my favorite. Now, while we went to Knights today, it wasn't really part of my birthday. Brother and I have been wanting to go all summer and Mommy had today off from work so it was a perfect day to take us. Even though we didn't technically go to celebrate my birthday, it still helped to make my special day a lot of fun.
For supper tonight we went to O'Charley's. I love that place. It's my favorite. I had mini corn dogs, french fries and rolls. I love those rolls.
After supper we came home and Dave & De, and Brad came over for cake & ice cream and they gave me some presents. It was a really good birthday.
I got a lot of Disney Princess stuff. Mommy, Daddy and Brother got my the Bitty Twins. The girl looks like me with brown hair and the boy looks like my brother with black hair. I call them my Ryan and Lauren babies.

Girl's Weekend
Guess what? Mommy and I had a weekend just for us! It's was just the girls. The boys went to Cub Scout Resident Camp so Mommy and I spent some time doing girl stuff.
On Friday, we went out for supper and did some shopping. Then we came home and I got to sleep in Mommy's room. I chose to set up cot up in her room and sleep on that. It was so much fun.
On Saturday, we went to town-wide garage sales in McLean. Mommy had taken some stuff up to try to sell. When the garage sales were over we came home and did a really super fun thing. We got PEDICURES!!!!!! Look at the pictures.
After our pedicure's we went out for pizza and then came home and just relaxed. I got to sleep on my cot in Mommy's room again.
Sunday we ate breakfast, got a paper, watched a movie on TV and then played with my dollhouse. It was a GREAT weekend.

Soccer Time!
I'm playing soccer again this spring. I have a different coach this time. His name is Tom. He is so much fun. We have a lot of fun at practice. We kick the ball, try to score a goal and we even play duck-duck-goose. We all try to chase Coach Tom! Here are some pictures from a game.
