Serious or silly?

I just can't decide who I am going to be...a serious student who loves books, or perhaps the class clown who likes to be a bit goofy?? Fancy Nancy is still one of my favorite books and I like having it read to me almost every day. And almost every day after my bath I like to run around upstairs naked and play in front of the mirror.

The Annual Elu Party

It just wouldn't be September without a trip to Napa. This time Stephen and Michelle and Candi joined us, even though it was a really hot day. I just wanted to hide under my hat...and there was no way I was taking a nap...it was too much fun to be cute. :)

Happy Birthday Uncle Colin!

Oh, but it is soooooooo hot!!!! We had a nice dinner and time with your friends today for your birthday and I'm so glad you're my uncle. Sorry I never looked at the camera and sorry about all the M&Ms under your sofa and sorry about all the baby proofing you had to do. But see...now you're ready to have a cousin for me! ;-)

Guess what???

I'm going to be a big sister!!!!! So cool!! Mommy doesn't feel very good...but I'm excited!! :)

Time for Great-Grandma Corstorphine's Memorial

I didn't get to go on this trip because the boat wasn't safe...but it was an important day for Mommy and for her family. These are all of Mommy's Aunts and Uncles (with Aunt Cecily missing) and of course my Grandpapa. This picture of Mommy kind of looks like maybe she has a secret too...what do you think???

Happy Birthday Pa-paw!

Today was not just the Fourth of July, but Pa-Paw's birthday too!!!  We had a quiet day at his house, now that we are all moved in to our new place in Pleasanton.  I finally got more of Mommy and Daddy's attention than the boxes do. :)  I liked Pa-Paw's cake too and had to try really hard not to put my hands in it. 

All done!!!

Here it is...our new place...and all moved in...just 2.5 days!!!!!! Go Mommy and Daddy!!!

Moving Day!!!!

Ahhhhh...home sweet home...#32 at Pleasanton Place. :) I actually never saw it look this way because Mommy and Daddy didn't want me to get upset by the chaos and it being a strange new place... But look...my room was done first! :)

Moving Soon!!

Today is my last day in the Shamrock House. This is where I came home from the hospital to, so it will always be my first home. I know the place is special to Daddy too because he lived here in college and Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa lived here for a very long time too. I think I'll miss my big yard...so I'll kiss it goodbye...

And just to show how much I've grown while I've lived here...here I am in Mommy's chair and showing off my new tooth! :)

Happy Birthday Gram!

Its always fun to talk about how old ~I~ am...but not so fun to talk about how old Gram is.  I don't understand that though...because nobody seems to believe how old she is anyway.  We had her party at the Americana with GG and Uncle Bubba even came to take me swimming.  We played in the water and had some food and then just played with my bubbles and sunscreen. :)  What a good day...

Newport Beach Trip 2008

Vacation!! Hurray! New things to see...new things to get into...  

We played in the pool, we went for a walk on the beach, we went to a nice dinner at Il Forniao (Thanks Uncle Brian)...and it was fun!!  I was really, really good in the car and being in a new place didn't really mess with my sleep at all.  I had to learn all kinds of new "no-no's" and "don't touch"...but our place was nice and I had plenty of space to play with my toys.  Overall, it was a good trip...but I'm glad to be back home...

Happy Father's Day Dada!

For Father's Day I took Daddy to mexican food in Pleasanton and then ice cream. And then the next day, I took him to breakfast. We had good food all weekend and Mommy took this great picture of us on Sunday.

Happy Birthday Nana!

This was a fun day! I got to see Nana and play with Uncle Brian and I didn't even have to take a nap! :) We had cake and ice cream and I got to help Nana open her presents.
Meg got her a beautiful scarf and Grandpa got her a Blu-Ray player. :) Such fun!!!

Pool Time!!! (sort-of)

So this is me and my Jungle Safari Pool and its probably my favorite thing ever. I climb in and out and I walk around in it. And then I chew on the rings and I climb in and out again. And then I look at my belly and wonder where all the water is dripping from by my feet. And then I wander around the yard and put my grassy, muddy feet back in the pool. When the water is turned off my froggy friend joins me and then sticks around and "ribbits" all night long outside Mommy and Daddy's window. I would love to stay in the water forever...but when my lips start turning blue...Mommy says its time to get out.
