I am 11!

Now that I have gotten older, it appears I have slowed down a bit in more ways than one.  I just noticed that my last post was a year ago when I turned 10!

I spent my birthday morning with my Granny Ren and Grandpa Bob. These are our amazing adopted family members who live next door.  They gave me this squeaky monkey but no way was I going to let go of it for the picture!

I thought I would share with you some highlights of my year.

I had to help my mom and dad with a bathroom remodel project. It was a lot of work but it looks good.  I cant use it though because I am not allowed to go to the bathroom in the house. We went to Home Depot A LOT!  I didn't understand why we couldn't get everything at once.  I guess that is how it is done???   Grouting was a messy job!

We watched lots of Iowa football.  Not a great season. I slept through most of it!

Our annual road trip to Arizona for Christmas. 

Our last memories of Mom - July in Seattle and Christmas in Arizona.  She passed away suddenly and quickly in March and we are left with a gaping hole in our hearts.
