Baseball and Barnstormer Kid Zone

Today I had a great time riding the carousel, dancing & running around the play area, watching Emily and her friend Emily ride the bumper boats and play with Anna in the skybox.

Driving Lessons

While Mommy loads or unloads the car she usually will let me sit in the drivers seat. Mommy tells me to be patient, but I think I am ready to put on my shades, get my license and hit the road!

Run Emily

After an afternoon in the pool, Emily and I decided to run around the volleyball court. Everyone was laughing because I was trying to mimic everything Emily was doing...the funniest was when Emily grabbed the bottom of the net as she ran under, so as I ran under all I could do was throw my hands up in the air.

Dinner Date with Grandpa

Tonight Grandpa came out to the house for dinner and a movie.

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Sending you big hugs and kisses!

Playdates with Anna

The last two nights Uncle Rick has been over to help Daddy with the front yard and Aunt Amy and Anna come over to hangout with me until Mommy comes home from work. Tonight Anna and I had a great time cooking and playing in my kitchen.

Happy Birhday Nana

Pool Party

I love pool parties....nothing better than an afternoon of swimming, family, food and ice cream!

Back Away From the Corn...

If you know what's best for you.....you will back away from the corn! Nothing better than garden fresh corn.

My First Ice Cream Cone

This was the first ice cream cone that was just for ME!

See ya next time CA

Well, our trip went by way too fast and we can't believe it's already time for us to go back home. We have really enjoyed meeting Ella and visiting with everyone! We look forward to our next trip to California!

Hugging my Daddy

Uncle Jim, Licorice Face and Bubbles

While in California Mommy's Uncle Jim decided to come visit and to meet the two newest additions to the family. We were so excited and thankful for Uncle Jim driving to Alturas from Idaho.


This afternoon while making hand and foot prints with Ella I was able to enjoy a piece of red licorice.....YUMMY!

Mommy's Aunt Carlyn gave me a great bubble toy! I loved chasing the bubbles around the backyard.


We ended our evening visiting Nanny and I thought Mommy would like a big hug from her favorite girl : )

Where Did Gramps Go???

I Need COFFEE!

Busy Day

We started the day off with a walk from Grandma and Gramps house over to visit Nanny. We made a few stops along the way (Aunt Tiffany's, the little taco stand and Rite Aid) since it's important to stay hydrated and keep food on your stomach. We had a great visit with Nanny and then headed back home.

Nanny had a little chair just my size

Official Mail Opener

My new official title and profession is Professional Mail Opener! While visiting Grandma and Gramps I have been quite the helper with opening their mail...even if they didn't ask for help : )

Visit with Debra

Mommy's friend Debra stopped by Alturas on her way back to Sacramento from Oregon. She was able stay and visit for a few days. We had a great time visiting and catching up on old times : )

Poolside and meeting Hilary!

Today was a day packed full of family, friends, food and fun! Grandma and Gramps rented the local pool for the afternoon, so Ella and I were able to explore the joys of swimming. Ella didn't enjoy the cool water, so she just looked adorable in her little bikini poolside. I loved the water and actually put in my face in the water for the 1st time. Later that evening Ella and I met Hilary one of Mommy's cousins from Idaho (she grew up in Alturas).

Water Fun Part II

While in California I had a blast running around in my diaper while Mommy sprayed me with the water wand. I highly suggest this for a warm weather activity!
