More leafy kids...

Playing in the leaves

Playing in the leaves is very fun! We have lots of trees at our house, so we have LOTS of leaves. We made a huge leaf pile to jump in - it was almost as tall as us.

Fashion Week at the Martin house

Mommy is very concerned that some sort of gene mutation took place in all of us. Even though she was the worst sort of tomboy and has only recently graduated to occasional makeup and drying of the hair, all three of us could be labeled "girly." Prissy, even, on occasion. For example, she cannot understand the purpose of a poncho, much less a pink poncho with fringe. But, I'm sure cute when I have it on, so she guesses it's okay. As long as we make mud pies while wearing pink faux fur.

Abbysicles

And the number 1 reason that you shouldn't leave water glasses unsupervised in the Martin household is....

My new vacuum

I love to vacuum. I used to follow Mommy around while she vacuumed every day. (Okay, so maybe it was more like once a week....Fine, once a month.....okay, so she only vacuums when the carpet starts grabbing your ankles. There is a reason she chose a house with a minimal amount of carpet! Sheesh. Tough crowd!!)

Sunday Afternoon with Daddy

On Sunday afternoons Daddy and I watch football from the recliner. Sometimes the game isn't very exciting, though.

My first gymnastics meet!!!

Here I am posing on the balance beam. I'm on the pre-team, which gets me ready for real competitive gymnastics! We had our first fun meet tonight. We've been learning routines on the beam, floor, and uneven bars, and we even do vaults! They don't give us real scores, it's really just for practice for our first real competition meet in a few weeks. I did awesome!!!

Mmm.....cake!

Birthdays are lots of fun. I loved it when everybody sang "Happy Birthday" to me, so much in fact that I sang it to everyone else for the next few days. I got ridiculous amounts of presents which was also lots of fun. I mean, that is why Mommy and Daddy got a bigger house, right? More room for toys?

Party Favors Are Fun

I sure love these things!! Mommy gets a little tense if I blow it repeatedly into her ear, but otherwise it's a great time.

Other Martin Family Members...

I'm Sam. My mommy brought me home a few weeks ago. Daddy was not very excited at first, but he's warming up to me.

















I'm Maggie, the wonder-Bassett. I'm pretty lazy.

My first kindergarten performance

This was my first kindergarten performance. Our class sang songs at the PTO meeting. It was very cute.

I'm two years old!!

I'm a big girl today! I love to sing and play. My favorite song is "Baby Bumblebee." I'm quite the little starlet!

Halloween was so fun! Mommy took us to her office, where they let us trick-or-treat at all the cubicles!!! We may never sleep again after all the sugar we've eaten.
