New Tricycle

Here are pictures of Tori on her new tricycle. This was her present for being potty trained (hooray!!). Tori really did a great job learning to use the potty. It's only been a little over a month and she practically does everything by herself. Now that the weather is nice she loves riding her tricycle everywhere and has really gotten good at the whole pedaling and steering thing.

Below are pictures of Tori after we helped out at a carnival that our church put on for kids with disabilities. As you can see, Tori had a blast (I forgot my camera, that's why I took a few pictures after). Her favorite thing was getting her face painted for the first time ever. She asked for Nemo to be painted on her cheek (we had watched the movie that morning). It was a few weeks ago, but she still talks about it and goes around pretending to paint Nemo or Dory on my face.

Playground

After such a long winter, we were so happy back in the very end of April when the weather finally started to get good enough to play outside at parks. Here are a few pictures of one of the first times at a park this spring (each year Tori has more fun and gets more daring).





Below are just a few cute pictures of Tori in outfits I like.

Gardening

We started our vegetable garden again this year. It was a lot less nerve-wracking this year since I now actually know what everything is suppose to look like. It was also a lot of fun to have Tori help. She loved digging in the dirt and filling her bucket. She thought the worms were the coolest things and was so excited every time she found one. So here are a few pictures of her helping get the garden ready.

Our little Tinkerbell dancing

Here is more video of Tori dancing. This time in her Tinkerbell costume. She can dance a little better in this costume because the shoes are a little easier to dance in than the Cinderella costume.

Our little Cinderella Dancing


Above is a video of Tori dancing in her Cinderella dress (sorry it's quite a long video, but I didn't really know how to cut it more and of course I think it is all cute). Recently, anytime I put music on in the house Tori immediately wants me to dress her up in one of her princess outfits so she can dance to it. My favorite part is when the music gets slower she slows down her dancing and then speeds up again when the music picks back up. Tori loves to dance - we often go with John to the Stake Youth Dances and Tori has a blast dancing to every song (I don't know where she gets the energy).
