Lovin' Time Outside In Not So Sunny California

During my summer trip to California I spent as much time as possible outside. While it was in the hundreds in Vegas it was in the 70s at Grammy and Grumpa's house. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH cool air!!!! After being reunited with my car I made an awesome discovery!

My car has the perfect drink holder!

Hey Ya'll

Cousin Riley came over every day and we got to have lots of picnics and playtimes outside.

Grammy and I showed Riley how to play ball.

I LOVE to eat as many lemons as possible while playing out back at Grammy and Grumpa's. Mom isn't always sure I should feast on them but this time I quickly learned how to pick them myself.

Yum Yum

I will take these two. Dad would be so proud.

If I eat my lemon over here maybe noone will notice.

I stumbled upon the perfect size and color umbrella in Grammy's garage. It became a fun gadget to figure out.

Grumpa got into the swing of things and shared his outdoor gadgets with me. This one was definitely interesting.

I enjoyed checking out the front yard as well.

Tree

What's this?

I loved picking ALL of the flowers out back. This one is for Mom. Ahhhhhh

Even us little guys need a place to sit. I found this proze pinwheel in a plant on the deck. One of my favorite things to do is take it out, play with it and then stick it in aother plant to find later.

BabiesRUs Opening

Did you know when a toy store has a grand opening they give out free stuff and cool people I only see on TV show up? I didn't and it sure was fun. At first I couldn't believe my eyes. There was a giant care bear looking at me.

At first, I wasn't sure what I thought about this but Mom sure was tickled.

I loved it when everyone started dancing.

It was contagious and ended up busting a move.

Here I am taking a ride in Barbies jeep. Mom is loving the pink and I am just loving the ride.

I will take this one!!

Cousin Riley scored this fancy ride during the grand opening. I watching him ride in it that evening and I was green with envy. The next morning Grammy and Mom let me ride it and it was a little piece of heaven.

Special Sporting Event

Mom and I got to go to one of Cousin Eleanor's swim meets. Lucky for us it was the BIG race and we got to see Eleanor win!!! Here we are with my Auntie's before it started.

Here is the champ in lane 2 getting ready to race the Butterfly stroke! She took first! Yahooo

and she rests....
Sorry Cousin but I just want to play with Cousin Frances's ball. I will get your autograph later.

Auntie Mary, Auntie Shawna, Auntie Katie, Cousin Eleanor, Cousin Frances, Uncle Mark and Mom and Me. Oh and don't forget Uncle Manny and Cousin Riley's Hat. They are hiding in the back but I can see them.

Tools And Wheels

What more can you ask for? Here I am helping Dad put together a wagon.

Splash Park Fun

Mom and I went to the splash park with the Kirmis clan. It was a blast. I had so much fun checking out a new park and seeing what I could get into. Here I am at the water features splashing in the puddles and contemplating drinking like Moxie does.
This splash park has all kinds of water features. The trees rain on you, the alligator spits on you and there is a ring of water. I will definitely be going home wet.

Don't let these cuties fool you. They shoved me out of the way to fill up their buckets. Here is where the water came out.
Weeeeee this is a lot of fun Mom.
Walker pushes fast. Yahooooooooooo
Thank you for sharing all your tasty new snacks with me Scarlet.
It is hard to see in this photo but the name of this car is Desert Command. Hmmm do you think we are in a neighborhood close to base?

No, I am not trying to poop, I am thinking about eating this dirt.
Here Walker and I work our way through the dinosaur cave.
Please get me off of this dino it is making my bum hot!
Scarlet, you have the shovel and I have the truck. I think we can take this guy.

Just Being A 17 Month Old Boy

Hey I am 17 mos old now. Here I am chilling on the couch with Dad.

Well since I can't ride this bike yet I have found creative ways to have fun with it. Ta dah!
Yay for me not killing myself!! I attempted to stand on the handle bars but Mom put the kabosh on that stunt. More later....


Recently I have discovered the outdoor chair cushions. I enjoy stacking them, throwing them around and goofing off with them.

All this play is hard work. I think I will take a thumb break.

Don't worry this is just me post popsicle. Off to the bathtub I go!

Haircut #8 Home Of the Fighter Pilot Nellis AFB O Club

Dad said they do the best haircuts at the Officers Club so we thought we would check it out.

Here is how I felt about it. This may be the best O Club, Home of the Fighet Pilot and all, but this guy is no Miss Suzanne!!
Mom debated not posting this picture because I am just so so sad in it. Don't you want to save me?? It's just too much.

Happy Late 4th of July

Eating a lollipop is the only way to enjoy a long parade.

Here are a few of my favorite highlights.
Here come the storm troopers. This entertained Mom greatly because my Uncle used to work on Lukas Ranch.
Here is Chewy waving at Mom.
Check it out, The Man In The Yellow Hat waved at Me!

Yes, The Aquarium Again

Yes, we love to go to the aquarium at the Silverton Casino. Not only is it air conditioned, but the fish are really cool. Here I got a close up view of them feeding the stingrays.

I hope you can see the man feeding the stingray in this photo.

Grammy Makes it to Vegas!

Mom said it was the best Birthday present ever when Grammy made it to Vegas!

I love the new cups Mom and Grammy picked out for me.

Fun Ways To Drink

Most evenings when the yard is shaded I enjoy a swim.

That is a good idea Moxie.
I not only like to get in the water, I like to drink it too.

Dad has fun with it too
