Presli called Boba last night, as she was tired and Mimi wasn’t answering her phone. Presli was hungry and tired. It rained real hard last night and lightning was very bright.

What a fun day I had with Momma, Boba and Gigi. We went to the mall and there were vans there with my favorite TV characters. Then Boba and Gigi came so Mom could get some rest. I drove a car in the mall, you had to put money into. I liked driving! Then we went to Barnes and Noble. After I had a 30 minute nap. We played with the train and I looked at lots of books. Then we went to the Dairy Queen in Murphysboro and had ice cream. Then we went to my house and Dad was there. I missed him when he worked so much. I like to tease Boba and Gigi.

I am learning lots of words (mostly good words) and can say 7-8 word sentences. I wanted to see Mocha and Latte, but it was too late and too hot - 94° to play outside with them.

Boba and Gigi left their Visa card in my diaper bag when we were at the mall. Momma found it and cut it up as they had already cancelled it.

Uncle Jim’s 54th birthday.

Momma got stung by a wasp today and it hurt her. I wanted to kiss it.

I asked Momma to let me call Boba yesterday to talk - I talked to Gigig too, We were on our way to 17th Street Bar and Grill to eat.

Friday night we had “movie night” at our house. Me and Lena got in bed with Mom and Dad to watch movies. Mom and Dad fell asleep as both were very tired. Dad has been working many 12-14 hour days. Me and Lena watched all of the movies until they stopped.

I slept until about 3:00 pm the next day. Mom was going to take me to a reptile show in Marion Saturday, but I didn’t wake up in time. Boba and Gigi went for me. They said there were big snakes and spiders. Boba thought there should have been a big turtle.

Boba stayed with me while Momma and Dad went to have Momma’s baby checked. Boba and I played with a dice that was like a ball. Then we ate pizza at Quatros. Then Boba and Gigi gave me a stuffed turtle from the reptile show. I looked at the turtle, lifted it’s tail and said, “turtle’s butt.”

Yesterday Boba came to get me and Momma to see Grandma Richards on her birthday. I was real good at Grandma Betty’s (Richards). Boba then took me to see Daddy where he was working in Carbondale. Daddy had been working very hard fixing up apartments for SIU students to stay in.

When we got to Boba and Gigi’s I played with Mocha and Latte. When I threw a ball, Mocha would get it and bring it to me to throw again.

We then went up the hill and saw LOTS of horses. One was in the barn. I took hay from his manger, shook it out good, and fed it to him. I know a lot about horses. I ran a lot, looking at all the horses and playing with Mocha and Latte.

I went back to Boba’s house, tired. I took a bath and then said I wanted to eat toast. I went to bed with Pooh Bear after Boba read me a story. I slept all night!

Today we will go to the big birthday party for Grandma Betty.

I peed in the potty by myself! Boba helped me pull up my pants.

Boba and I went to see horses this morning. The horse I was feeding last night was chewing the wood fence and making funny noises. We went back to Boba’s house and ate breakfast and I wanted to go back to check on the horses. Boba took me up there and he took a picture of the horse. THere were 32 people at Grandma Betty’s birthday party.

Presli is one who engages life - jumps right into exploring something, helps with animals, discovers what life has for her. She has compassion and passion. She is a leader!

Me and Momma and Daddy went to the Evansville Zoo this weekend. Daddy has been working very hard and he has 3 days off. Boba will feed and water Lena and Tyson. I loved the giraffe and “kitty cat”.
