Mother's Day

We had Mother's Day at Maca's house. It was a great day. Here I am with my Tia Linda. Don't we look pretty!

There was a great mother's day brunch. Mom brought quiche. You can read about that here.

Uncle Nick came back for the week before he started a new job. Here is Gigi, me, mom, maca and uncle Nick.

We had a super fun day in the pool! I'm going to learn to swim this year!
After swimming, I like salami. Ok, let's not fib, I like salami all the time!

Swimming + Salami = Nap on Tia Linda

These are Maca and Papa's turtles. They bite. There are 6 or 7 of them that live in a big pond. There used to be really big goldfish in there too, but then Bob the Crane ate them.

Caden's 4th Birthday

Yesterday, Caden had his 4th birthday party at The Little Gym. Julie got him the coolest cupcakes.
But I still don't like frosting! So, mom took off (she ate it) the frosting for me so I could eat the cake! The cake is dyed in different colors.
Caden doesn't use his hands to eat his cupcake.

It was a pretty good time!!!

Except at the end when Julie dubbed us Mr. and Mrs. Angry Toddler!!!

Cupcakes

My new favorite thing to do is help mommy in the kitchen. I love to bake and I love cupcakes! My mom is a risk taker and lets me use the blender. I'm supervised, of course!

Here I am testing the texture.

And you have to taste them to make sure you don't poison anyone!

Mommy puts the icing on them. But I don't like icing. The 4 in the middle are for me. Mommy likes the chocolate and daddy likes the cream cheese frosting.

Here I am shoving almost an entire cupcake into my mouth! They are great!

Spring Break

For Spring Break I went to Uncle Nicks and Auntie Sharyn's house in Washington D.C. Maca and I flew on an airplane. We had a blast! Uncle Nick didn't know we were coming. Auntie Sharyn arranged the whole thing!

Here I am on the plane

I knocked on Uncle Nick's door to surprise him.

Does he look surprised?

I put on a whole show. There is video on mommy's facebook, but the video is too big to post here!
Here is Auntie Sharyn doing my hair.

I love my Auntie and Uncle!


Me and my 15 and a half year old brother Obama. (I used to have an imaginary friend and this is what I would tell people.)
Me and Maca eating pancakes. I LOVE pancakes!


Me with my duck whistle. We went on an amphibious vehicle for a duck tour on the Potomac.

I got to drive the boat.

Isn't it cool!

Me with my 3D glasses going into the Dinosaur IMAX show.

I really like Dinosaurs. I'm like a mini Daddy. Mommy calls daddy Ross Geller.

Monkey made the trip to DC too. I took this picture all by myself.
A Chinese yo yo! My favorite toy!


At the air and space museum flying a plane!I hope you had a great Spring Break too. I can't wait to see Uncle Nick in a few short weeks. I'll miss Auntie Sharyn on that visit though!

Easter

Easter Sunday, I flew home from Washington DC. I went with Maca for Uncle Nick's 30th birthday. It was also my Spring break, so the timing was great. I was excited to come home and see my Mom and Dad. The Easter Bunny had been to Maca and Papa's house and left eggs for me to find.


Maca and Papa got me roller skates for Easter. We have some work to do, but I sure like them!

Poster

So for my birthday a long time ago, my teacher gave me this poster to fill out. It has a whole bunch of questions and I filled it out here is what it says:

I am 4 years old. My favorite animal is a Giraffe and a monkey. My favorite color is purple and my favorite food is pasta. There are pictures of me and my family.

Washington DC is my favorite place. I like to fly on the plane to visit Uncle Nick and Auntie Sharyn. (this was before we knew she was going again to DC for Spring break!)

When I grow up I want to be working at the office like my dad.

My favorite thing to do is dance, learn and play at The Little Gym.

If I had one wish, I would wish for Christmas!

More Dancing

I've now gotten into choreography and setting my own tempo to songs I know.

How many Stacey's does it take to screw in a light bulb?

This has nothing to do with Stella, just mommy being mommy. If you know Stacey, you'll say "ya, I can see how she did that". So we have this stairwell at our house that is sooooo tall. We have lived here 4.5 years and I've just been waiting for THE light bulb to go out. But I made a mental note that Papa has one of these light bulb extension thingies:

Awesome right!!! No, that little thing at the top screws on. It is not permanently attached to the handle. I don't know why. If I ever meet the inventor...we are going to have words because LOOK what happened!
FRICK! How am I going to get that down from 18 feet! Seriously.

Please ignore the bad photoshop. I just wanted you to see how big the stairwell is. Also, clearly the light is on so I fixed it. But I was freaking out. If that light which was hanging on by about 1/4 turn had fallen, little tiny shards of light bulb glass would have gone EVERYWHERE! The light bulb was wobbly so it was quite cumbersome to screw the pole in without unscrewing the light bulb. But alas, after about 20 minutes of messing around, I now know that it only takes 1 Stacey to screw in a light bulb!

Family Birthday Party

Today was my birthday party with my family. When mommy asked me what I wanted to do for my party, I said I wanted to eat on a train. Mommy did some thinking and decided we would take the train up to Fullerton and meet my family at The Spaghetti Factory. There were 15 of us that went for lunch. It was so fun!


Here I am at the train station waiting for the train.


Mommy liked this little step so she took my picture.


This is my cake. Tomorrow, I get to go to Disneyland with my friends. I love princesses!

I loved my cake!


I really loved my cake!!!


I love my momma!

I love my daddy! He kept me nice and warm at the train station!


I'm not sure what made Tia Linda and Uncle Jeff laugh so hard. I'm a pretty funny kid though!


This was my big present. This is a really cool beach cruiser for kids.


I ran to my bike when I saw it and instantly started riding it.

I got a basket for my monkey. Mom added the "S" and the bell that Uncle Jeff got me for my trike. What kind of first bike doesn't have streamers on the handle bars? I had such a good birthday! Thanks to gigi, maca, papa, grandma, Uncle Junior, Uncle Nacho, Auntie Angelica, cousin Robert, Uncle Jeff, Tia Linda, Uncle Pete and Auntie Katrina for joining me on my special day. Same time next year...ok!!!
