Old Friends Reunite

Our friends Bethany and Dominic from Italy came to visit us! We had so much fun seeing them. I am posting some random shots of the boys because these boys were hard to keep down! We didn't get any picture perfects, we needed our friend Ange!

No Mom I wasn't touching it.

Cool, you throw it in and I will scoop it out..

This is about as interactive as we get at this age. Check us out, teamwork at 1.5yrs old!

Um, I am not sure you should touch that. See I told you not to touch it, now we have to sit down and play.

Caughtya

Since I have joined the family one of the every day items in Mom's purse is her camera. I don't know why she and Dad thought it so spectacular that I knew this was Dad's hat and how to put it on. Or, maybe Mom was just impressed I could find the hat in Dad's car. Tee hee hee. I guess you have to know Dad only wears his hat when he is at work and has to. I have only seen him wear it on a few occasions. Please don't notice my blue mustache. It is likely from Dad's very blue cotton candy.

Sharing My Chair

Here I caught them before they noticed how cute they were.

I can share when I want to...

Here I am learning to roll...

Of course I got it down quickly ...

Sadly after all this rolling fun I started screaming in the car due to a rash. I hope I am not allergic to grass and everything like Mom!

New Park In Town

Just clowning around at a new park we stumbled upon in town.

New Friends!

Mom had some good ol friends come visit and it meant new friends for me! I had a blast hanging with my new friends Myra and Maddie. I liked them immediately. Here we are at my favorite park.

Just us cool kids

I Got To Meet Clifford

Mom and I go to a reading group once a week. Last week Clifford showed up!

It was so cool to see him, I didn't want to leave.

Another Day, More Time To Play

Just horsing around at the park.

Lately Mom is beginning to think I am getting bored with our local park. I get to go almost every day and sometimes twice. Now at the park I just prefer to play with everyone elses toys.
We tried bringing my scooter but that only distracted me for a few short minutes.

Balloon Making Man

We stumbled upon a balloon guy at one of our favorite local Italian pizzaria's. Can you guess what he is making me?

Ta da! It is Elmo and I LOVE it.

Mall Find

Since it is so hot where we live Mom and Dad are always looking for indoor adventures. Here we found an indoor mall playground.

Of course the airplane was a big hit for me. Once I mastered it though I just wanted to go to the next thing.

Just Practicing

I love to snuggle with all the blankets. Right now I am the proud owner of two (one mini bear blanket and one large warm snuggley one) unless you count my bag-o-blanket. You might notice in these photos I have three!!

I am just practicting swiping my brothers blanket. Mom and Dad let me pick it out and of course I picked the best one. It has a monkey on it and I am not so sure I want to give it up!!

Our Favorite Shaded Walking Spot

We often enjoy walking this area of town under all the nice shady trees.

Here I am advertising for Starbucks. Don't worry Mom tricks me and pours apple juice into a cup of ice. I don't mind.

Moxie Is 5 Years Old And I Am 18 Mos. Old!

Here we are celebrating Moxie's Birthday. We thought she would enjoy a nice hike since it is so hot here she rarely gets out hiking. Dad found this great spot close to the house that is nestled inbetween the mountains which makes it a bit cooler.

I didn't enjoy the backpack very much. I preferred hiking!

The same time I turned 18 mos my brother turned 18weeks in utero.

Mom was a trooper and made the hike too!

Only the best for our girl.

Unique Yard Pasttimes

My personal water fountain.

Mom is tickled Dad has taken to her favorite hobby.

Me and My Blankie

Mom won me a new BIG blanket on ebay. It is sooo soft. I love it.

Ribbit Ribbit

When Mom goes shoping she often comes home with something just for me. She recently brought this frog pull toy home for me. She thought she might have gotten ripped off until we got it home. Here I am trying to take my frog for a ride with me. The problem is if I put Froggy in the trunk then I cna't drive. You can see my dilemma.

So I tried to pull him as I drove.
Next, I tried putting him on my lap but there just wasn't room (now I know how Mom feels) !!
He sure is cute and even though I have two other push toys I was never interested in them until Froggy came to live with us.

Race Cars

I love it when Grandma and Dad take me to Target. I get all kinds of cool new toys. Here I am learning to drive the race car. Hury up Dad and put the race cars on the track.

I like to drive FAST. REAL FAST. In fact I only know fast. I can press the trigger all the way down but I have yet to master anything in between. This drives Dad crazy but I know he likes to drive fast too.
Oh yeah when it is Dad's turn I like to entertain myself by catching the cars as they go by.

Grandma Comes To Visit!

YAY Grandma came to vist me and she brought me soooo many cool things!

Here we are checking out the cool bugs she brought me. We play with them every day!! Maybe someday Mom will even know her bugs.
It is impossible to pick what my favorite gift from Grandma is. Here I am playing with my garbage truck. Dad and Mom try and get me outside to see the garbage truck now like Grandma did. They even honk the big truck at me.

Beach Bums

Although it wasn't beach weather we just had to get to the beach. Here we are at Hearts Desire Beach. I found this really cool rock with interesting ocean things all over it.

The water was cold but Dad and I didn't mind.
Dad taught me to skip rocks!
I loved picking up all kinds of rocks. I didn't mind it meant I would get totally soaked.
I really enjoyed all the new and interesting things at the beach.
