Happy 5th Birthday, Avery!!!

Emery "bouncing it up" with big sis Avery

Leading up to Avery's 5th birthday party extravaganza, I secretly overheard Mommy and Daddy talking about "kids bouncing through the air" and "humongous gigantic castles rising from our backyard" ... what does it all mean?!??! I could hardly wait, so we counted down each day leading up to the huge birthday bash using a super cool calendar Becca (my Nanny) made.

 Countdown to Avery's birthday

When the grand day finally arrived, it was all something I can't even explain in words!!! Watch all the videos below to see for yourself  ...

Avery perfected her professional exit strategy from her castle ...

Both of us getting our bouncy bounce on in the gigantic castle ...

Everyone had a great time, especially me ...

Plus there was lots of cake for everyone ...

... and Avery BFF from school, Chiara, was there ...

... and even Mommy bounced up and down and all around ...

... and of course Daddy got a little crazy
 bouncing wildly all around ... oh Daddy!

Always ready for anything, anytime ...

 Emery preparing for her daily brutal workout

Being an investigator, I always have to be ready for anything at anytime. I have to constantly train and be 100% ready to overcome any obstacle, any inconvenience, at any moments notice. Below are a small sampling of videos from my daily workout sessions ...

I call these my "Stand-up Talls" ...

And this one is called my "Rock-a-bye Giddy-Ups" ...

And then this one I call my "Low Couch Crawl" ...

... while I call this one my "High Couch Crawl" ...

This one I like to call " Riding the Lightning" ...

This one I call "What to do when wild animals attacks" ...

And this one is called my "End-of-the-day relaxation time" ...

Wild West Road Trip ...

 

Fast food with some fast fun during our road trip

Daddy hauled us all away one weekend on a long road trip, out to where he came from ... and no, it wasn't Mars, but very close to it!!! We had lots of fun and saw strange and interesting sights. Follow along to see what I mean ...

Lots of neat new stuff to bring back home!

We built lots of neat things ...

... drove in floating cars ...

... fed the fighting ducks ...

... swung on countless swings ...

... played with a set of "double trouble" twins ...

... just kidding, actually Gianna and Alexa were a lot of fun!!!

Everyone we met were loads of fun!

We saw tons of weird shaped buildings ...

... statues that glimmered in the light ...

... endless rows of flowers everywhere ...

... deep flowing rivers of chocolate ...

... it was so strange and interesting, 
it felt just like a dream!!!

Mysteries of the Universe ...

Being young and very little (and constantly watched over), I have tons of time on my hands to just sit around and think. It's amazing all of the questions that can pop into your head! Here are just a few mysteries that are on the top of my "To Solve" list ...

 Where does water come from ... 

and then where does it go???

Why do bones for dogs taste so doggone good???

 Where do stairs go

(someone always grabs me 

before I can find out)???

 Why is my sister so awesome???

 Where does the sun go???

 What size of vehicle do these keys open???

 Why can't I squeeze large things into my mouth???

 Why does the spoon handle taste as good 

or even better than the spoon end???

Why oh why do my parents keep dressing

me in such tight fitting clothes 

(or are these instead "baby spanx")???
