Holiday Pictures

Last night we went and had pictures taken for Christmas Cards. None of these pictures are being sent out, but here is a little sneak preview of what is to come! I hope you had a great weekend. I sure had fun!

Gobble Gobble!!!

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! I went to my Great Aunt's house.

She has a really big back yard and I found this baseball. I threw it around for a long time.

Playing ball is hard work! So I took a break and had a cupcake!

It was finger lickin' good.

After cupcakes, playing baseball and hanging with my family, I had to take some time to stop and smell the roses. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

I can drive

Last weekend I went to Grandma and Grandpa house. Cousin Robert has this sweet ride that he let me drive. If you look closely, you can see my best friend, monkey, riding in the back.

Off roading is dirty business, so we had to take a bath later.

After bathtime, we wanted to make really goofy faces! This picture was one of about 5 different goofy faces but, it was the only one that had both of us looking at the camera.

We also were racing on our Pooh bear-mobile's. I won, but only because my legs are longer. I don't know how much longer I'm going to fit on these bad boys. I'm only 2.5 but I'm tall. I have really long legs!

Mom's Birthday

Mom's birthday was last week, but we celebrated early. Mommy was out of town for training for the business she (and daddy) are starting. I was sad that she was gone for 11 long days. But, I got some extra time with Maca, Papa, Taylor and Grandma and Grandpa O. There is more to come soon on my visit with Grandma and Grandpa. Mommy is home now! Yay!

Happy Halloween

For Halloween I was a fairy princess! I love princesses! This is me in the parade at school. It was so fun. We walked around the parking lot and there were lots of parents there to watch us. After we were done with the parade we went into our class rooms and had a party!!!!

I went to Daddy's work in the afternoon and had party there too. Someone made really yummy brownies. When I came home I put my wings on so that I could go trick or treating. I wore really comfy balet shoes my Uncle Nick and Auntie Sharyn bought me!

Here I am going through the loot! I hope you had a great Halloween too!

Dancing with the stars!

So Dancing With The Stars is my favorite show. I love to dance. I wanted Mark Cuban to win. Oh well. I still love the show. Last week I wanted mommy to make my blanket turn into a dress. I added the hat and voila, I look just like Edyta!

Pumpkin Shopping

We went pumpkin shopping at this place the day before Halloween. They have a big red tractor.

They have a petting zoo too. I'm convinced a goat tried to bite me.

They also have pony rides. I LOVE pony rides

Finally, we got two pumpkins. They were bigger than these though!

Bad Girl

Here is the story: I won't sleep lately. Please note that in addition to this baby gate, there is a chlid proof cabinet lock on it as well because I can open the gate. I refuse to go to sleep. So I stay up there for HOURS screaming. Sometimes I take all the clothes out of my drawers. Sometimes I pull all the clothes off the hangers in the closet. I'm ALWAYS destructive. Last week I had a nasty diaper rash and mommy has found that the best thing for me is corn starch. Well she had it up on the linen cabinet to keep it away from me. Tonight I found it. Also keep in mind that mommy and daddy cleaned the house all day yesterday so they were REALLY ticked off!

Makin' Muffins

This morning I got hungry. First I went to the pantry and asked mom if I could have Spaghetti-O's for breakfast. She said no and thought making muffins was a great idea. I stirred the mix.


When Mom wasn't looking, I decided to sample the goods. I have to make sure that everything tastes ok. Mom explained that muffins need to go in the oven. So 25 minutes later, I ate the real muffin and dropped a whole bunch of crumbs everywhere. Mom and Dad spent all day yesterday cleaning the house. There was fire ash everywhere. It was clean until I dropped muffin 3 times.

Park

Today I went to the park with mommy. They had lots of pumpkins.

I was being really silly. I ran all over the place! It's a good thing mommy's camera has a sport shot mode, because I'm fast!

Here we are waiting for the choo choo train. I had a great time on the train. We saw a lake, ducks, squirels (Uncle Nick hates squirels), peacocks and ponies. We didn't take a pony ride because mommy said the ponies looked sleepy.

They had this last year but it was more fun when Caden's head was in the kitty cut out!

I say funny things lately

Here are some real jems that have come out of my mouth lately:

To mommy I said: "Don't like you. I'm leaving!" I proceeded to go to the front door, open it and walk into the courtyard. The next day mommy got a chain to go at the top of the door.

Yesterday: "I'm a princess. I'm a pretty princess." Mom doesn't call me princess. She's not ok with the whole princess thing! Where am I learning these things. Lets just blame it on school.

Today as we were watching TV and a travel commercial comes on and I say "London" when there was a scene of London. What? Mom and Dad rewound the Tivo and asked me again what was on tv and I said "Disneyland" and then I said "London" again.

Mommy was wrong

Last night mommy asked daddy not to lock thier bedroom door anymore because I don't really go in there anymore. Well, today the door was unlocked and I went in there while I was supposed to be napping. I can't be the only 2 year old who LOVES band aids. Monkey was hurt all over the place, so he got lots of band aids. Now we are off to the store to buy some more band aids (I'm hoping mom get's more princess ones).

Angels win the pennant!

I went to an Angels game a couple weeks ago with my Maca and Papa. They bought me this hat and I love it. The also got me a really comfy Angels sweatshirt. I'm the Number 1 Angels fan under 3 years old! I like it at the game when they have fireworks and they have this chant wear every one says "Charge". I think they are all saying "George" because they all love Curious George as much as I do! Mommy got Angels playoff tickets for the league and division playoffs. Mom doesn't like baseball enough to go to the game, but Maca and Papa really like baseball, so mommy gave them the tickets!

Football Saturday's

It was raining today. Mom swears that last year the fireplace was on, but I don't believe her. It is so pretty.

Rainy days just want to make you cuddle up in a bean bag chair with monkey and a blanket for a nice nap.

After the nap came a wardrobe change. I love this dress. Mom bought me coordinating tights. I'm practicing my model walk here!

You have to see me coming and going. Here is the back of my dress. It's made of sweatshirt material, so it's really comfy and warm!

dad's birthday

A couple days ago was Daddy's birthday. We went to dinner. I had pasta.

When we got home I tried to help dad with opening presents.

Ok, by help, I mean drag the box across the floor by the ribbon.

And yes, at some point the ribbon came off and I wore it as a belt.

You know all birthday parties have cake. This one was especially yummy. It was ice cream cake! Happy Birthday Daddy!

Things that happen when mom isn't looking.

So... do you see that white plastic bag on the chair behind me. Those were old clothes that are supposed to be donated. Mommy was downstairs checking her email and I took off my jeans and my shirt. I put on two more shirts and some socks. I really like taking my diaper off lately. Mommy is going to invest in duct tape!


What is wrong with this picture?


If this is what your answer was...you were right!

Disneyland

Today I went to Disneyland. We tried to go on Nemo, but the line was at least 2 hours so needless to say, we didn't wait. We'll go back again soon to take care of visiting Nemo, Marlin and of course Dory (I love Ellen).

So with all the Nemo issues, we decided to go on Autopia. I drive really well! I had so much fun. Daddy said I just giggled the whole time.


Then we went to go see the characters. I liked Mickey a whole bunch! After we saw Mickey, we went on the Toontown Roller Coaster. We don't have pictures of that, but I had a GREAT time. I kept saying "Whee" and "Whoa".


I think I like Minnie more than Mickey. She gave me a hug and I was really happy to meet her! I did NOT want to leave her!


Meeting my new friends made me hungry, not to mention, it was lunch time. Mom doesn't like Disneyland food. She said it tastes yucky. So when we go to theme parks, she tries to pack lunch. Today she brought submarine sandwiches, fruit snacks, cheese its and cookies. I really liked this sandwich. Mom made it more like a Hoagie and it was Delicious! Mom and I ate the same amount of food. I ate a whole 6 inch sandwich. I didn't eat the fruit snacks or cheese its but, I did help mom out with her cookies!


After lunch we headed over to California Adventure. It was pretty toasty today, so mom let me run around in the water park they have.


Dad took this picture when mommy went to go buy a beach towel for me! Nice shot Daddy!


They had this big concrete cylinder thing that had a waterfall. I ran around it and made this face every time I passed the big waterfall.


Mom and I went on the bumper cars. I really liked that too! I think the running theme here is that I like cars and water. Hmmm, maybe I am the perfect combination of my mom and dad!


As you can tell, I had a pretty busy day, which left me exhausted! I haven't fallen asleep in my stroller in at least a year. Mom to a picture because it may be the last time that happens!

When my dad was little, my grandma and grandpa took a picture of daddy in the Disney fire engine on Main Street. So, mom took a similar picture today.
