New Friends!

I’ve been meeting a lot of new people here in Bolivia. I played with Alana in La Paz and had fun with her at the park. She had a baby stroller like me so we would take our baby’s on walks together. Now that we are in Sucre I’ve meet even more friends. Our host family has a granddaughter named Isabella (Bella). She is about 5 years old I think. I like to follow her around and it’s fun to play together even though I can’t understand what she is saying.

Another new friend I’ve met is Noelia. Her parents work for FH just like mine. I have been to her house several times already and she always lets me play with her toys. I found out that she likes to dance just like me!


Going to the retreat was fun because I got to play with Noelia and Alana. Alana is about 6 months older than me and Noelia is about 6 months younger than me. So I am in the middle! Here are some pictures of us!
It was hard to get all of us to stand still at the same time for a picture! But those parents...they finally did it!

Taking a rest!

Last Hurrah with the Cousins

So much has happened since my last blog! I have to start all the way back before we left for Bolivia. My Aunt Amy and Uncle Greg had my family over for a really nice meal. (My Uncle Greg is a good cook!) It was really fun because I got to play with my Cousin Emma and Cousin Olivia. One of my favorite things we did was play dress up. We all looked like princesses! My Cousin Olivia even let me put on some of her play makeup! It was fun to play with them since I won’t see them for a long time. Don’t we look great!

Uncle Dan and Aunt Katie


I got to spend some time with my Uncle Dan and Aunt Kate in South Dakota too! I don't get to see them very much, but when I do, they always bring me cool toys and cute clothes. My uncle Dan even got me my very first baseball glove. It's hot pink of course! I'm not exactly sure what to do with it yet. I think my Dad will have to work with me. I'm not sure if the kids in Bolivia know how to play baseball, but now that I have a glove I will have to teach them
Being Silly!

Rocking out with Uncle Dan in the Car! Wish you could hear the music!

Thanks Uncle Dan and Kate for all the toys and clothes! I had fun playing with you!

Trip to Grandma and Grandpa Machs

I got to see a lot of family over the last week and a half on my trip to South Dakota. I had a great time staying with my Grandma and Grandpa Mach. We did LOTS of fun things (In fact, I may need to do more than one post!)

Ice Cream by the Lake

Feeding the ducks at the park

Story time before bed with Grandpa

After being in South Dakota for a few days we took a trip to Iowa to see my Great Uncle Tim and Aunt Bev. They live on Storm Lake and took me on my first boat ride! It was so fun!

Hop in everyone, I'm ready to go!

Whoa! This is Fun!


ahh...the wind in my hair....


Of course we hit the park before we went back to South Dakota.

Stay tuned for more pictures from my trip. I have to go now. It's already past my bedtime
