Under the Big Top!

Saturday was my birthday party! We all headed down to the park, and my friends came to celebrate! There were games, face painting, yummy food (my favorite was the popcorn!), and Boswick the Clown! He was so funny! We all pretended to be acrobats, and wild animals, and got balloon animals! Then it was time for cupcakes which were soooo good!











Thank you to all my friends and family that came to celebrate! I love you all!

Twain Harte, Camping Trip #2

What a weekend! We managed to get all of us into Mommy's car and headed out for Twain Harte! The drive was kind of boring, so I slept:) I think Mommy did too! We got out there in the afternoon, checked Grandma, Auntie Chrissie, and Cousin Emmy into the hotel. Then we headed over to the campgrounds to check out our site! Kristopher & Ella were there already with their parents, and we set up camp! Abby and her mommy came a little later. Then it was time for dinner, smores, and bed!

Saturday morning we had some yummy breakfast, care of Grandma, and decided to go explore the train museum in Jamestown. Super cool! They had real trains to ride on, a band, a huge barn full of old trains, and a round house, which is really round! Afterwards we walked around downtown Jamestown, and I took a nap:) But I heard some shopping happened!

Saturday night we had our shrimp boil and played around camp. Then we had cake and ice cream for Emmy's birthday! Happy Birthday Emmy! I decided to go to bed while everyone sat around the fire.

Sunday we were up and going early, headed for a big adventure. We went to the Moaning Caverns to go zip lining! Well, some of us went zip lining:) Up first were Daddy, Jacob, Emmy, Aunty Kat, Uncle Jim, & Kristopher! Yes, Kristopher! He went with Uncle Jim. They loved it! We watched them and cheered and it was cool! Then we had some picnic lunch, and they went again! This time even Ella went along! Daddy and Emmy went "superhero style" - where they went down on their bellies! So cool! Maybe I'll be up for it, down the road...I took a nap with Mommy, Auntie Chrissie, and Grandma back at the picnic area.

Afterwards we went back to the campgrounds for some swimming and then dinner and smores. Man, were they good! All this time I have not tried them. Now I know what everyone was talking about!

Monday after breakfast we did a little more swimming, then hit the road. It was a great weekend!

Flying Video

I forgot to post this video from when Daddy, Uncle Jim, & Kristopher went zip lining! Check them out!

Visitors!

Grandma is here! She flew in on Tuesday to visit and for my birthday. Then today Auntie Chrissie and Cousin Emilie arrived! Auntie Chrissie brought some presents, matching hats and arm warmers for me and mommy. Here I am wearing my hat and Mommy's arm warmers:)





This weekend we are going camping again! And everyone is coming along! So fun!

Camping Time Is Here!

Camping season is officially open! We met Kristopher & Ella and Abby & Logan at Lake Chabot for our first trip of the season. We had a blast! Hiking, bubbles, yummy food, campfires, all the good stuff!





Cody even came along! He had a lot of fun playing with the other doggies. But it was super hot! I sure enjoyed my nap in the trailer in the air conditioning:) We made ice cream for the first time! Aunty Ginny brought along all the fixings, and our parents took turns shaking it up to make it for us. I am definitely looking forward to a whole summer of this!

My First Performance (For Mommy)

Today at school we did a special performance for our Mommy's! Our teachers made a special breakfast and tea for them, then they all snuck downstairs while Miss Lori read a book to us...








After the book we all stood up and sang songs for our Mommy's! I'm hiding in the middle. Mommy was so happy! It was so fun!






Here's the video!

Mother's Day 2009

Sunday was Mommy's Day! We went to Gilroy Gardens to celebrate. I think this is going to become a new tradition for us:) Here I am, riding in the garden boats...






And here are Daddy & I on the worm in the apple ride! You can't see my face because I'm waving at Mommy!







It was nice to spend the whole day with Mommy and Daddy on her special day. We rode rides, ate some yummy fried food, ice cream! But man, was it exhausting! I slept the whole way back, while Mommy got groceries and even more when we got home! I love you Mommy!

Nice To Meet You, Mickey!

Friday we headed down south to celebrate Auntie Lori's birthday! The flight down was kind of boring, so I took a nap. When I woke up, Sarah and Auntie Lori were waiting for me in the car! We went back and BBQ'd and hung out for the evening. We all went to bed early, because we knew Saturday was going to be a big day!

We woke up, had a yummy breakfast, and headed out! Sarah and I took naps to store up some more energy for Disneyland! Once we got into the park, our first priority was It's a Small World. We raced back there and got right on! My first Disney ride! Yay! It was so cool, lots of singing and fun dancers. And the song is still stuck in my head...



After Small World, we rode the teacups, then Dumbo, which was my favorite! Flying Elephants are so much fun! Then we hit the carousel and Pinocchio. Here's Sarah after we rode the teacups, I think she liked them!

We had an early lunch, rode the circus train, and us girls were ready for naps! I heard Daddy and Uncle Chris rode a couple crazy rides during our naps, something about Thunder Mountain and Indiana Jones.
After naps we rode a scary ride - The Haunted Mansion. Yikes! I was happy when that was over! We rode Winnie the Pooh, and then got to meet him and Tigger! I thought his name was Tiger, and when we were standing in line I kept calling his name and he didn't turn around? Mommy told me his name was Tigger, so when we got up there I got a big hug and kiss and loved it!


After meeting my new friends, we went on another super cool ride - the Jungle Cruise! There were so many animals, even a duck! (Not sure he belonged in the jungle...) We even saw the 8th wonder of the world - the backside of water! Wow! We had an early dinner, then took the train back to Toontown to meet Mickey. It was so cool to meet him! I've got a couple stuffed animal Mickeys at home, but I loved meeting him in person!

Disneyland may just be the happiest place on Earth!



But what a long day...we were all exhausted, even Mommy and Daddy! But guess what I figured out? How to climb out of my pack n play! In the middle of the night I decided I was done sleeping in it and wanted to sleep by my parents! Man, that was comfy. Just like the good old days napping on the couch downstairs:)

Sunday morning we had a great breakfast, Uncle Chris made pancakes and all kinds of good stuff. We played around, just relaxed after our long day. Then it was time to leave:( So we packed all our stuff back up and headed out for the airport. We had a good flight back, I got the front row on the airplane! So my baby doll and I hung out on the floor and played. We were so tired when we got home! We barely had energy to get groceries, eat dinner, and off to bed! What a perfect weekend!
