busy, busy, busy

July has been one busy month!! And, a lot of fun. I got to see all of my cousins on my Mom's side of the family this month. In this picture all that is missing is my Simon and Helene. They were here the week before my Aunt Julianne and Uncle Jimmy came to see me. Lucky for me my Aunt Shaunee is only 45 minutes away, so I get to see them a few times a month. My cousin, Kasey, got married in San Diego so I got to spend the day with Aunt Shaunee and her dog, Fritz, so my Mom and Dad could go to the wedding. Did I ever mention that I LOVE dogs?

As you can tell I started swimming classes this month....just a few days ago to be exact. I don't really like them that much. I love being in the water and I just want to play. I don't want to do the lame things the swim guy tells me to do. I hate the singing he makes us do....can you tell? This picture is me screaming at my Mom at the top of my lungs "MAMA, NO!!!" She told me I have to do it anyways. Something about there are things in life you don't want to do but you have to do them anyway....blah blah blah blah.

Mom just showed me how to blow bubbles so I'm practicing. This was the only thing I did the first day in class because I didn't want to do the other stuff and I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT....I TOLD YOU THAT ALREADY!!! The second, third and fourth day I refused to blow bubbles because I just wasn't in the mood. On the fourth day of swim class Mom had Dad go with me in the pool to see if I would do the things the swim guy said I needed to do, but NOPE! I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT....WHEN ARE YOU GONNA TAKE ME SERIOUSLY!! Mom says I have one more week left and I haven't decided if I'm gonna listen or not. We'll see what happens....or as Mom says...what side of the bed I wake up on that morning.

School is O-U-T!!!!

My Mom says "school is done for the semester....time to PARTAAY!" I don't really know what she means, but she sure seems happier and a bit more relaxed. The picture is of me helping her with her homework. All I know is school is BORING!! The good thing about it was when Mom really needed to study for a test I got to spend a lot of time with just my Dad. It was awesome. He took me to the park a lot and he even took me to the petting zoo. When Mom was in school I got to spend Monday and Wednesday night at Grandma and Grandpa Kesler's. Now that was a good time!! Grandma and Grandpa got a new puppy, Charlie, and I must say I am in puppy dog heaven there!! Now they have 2 dogs....Maggie and Charlie. Mom tells me that some day I can have a dog, but for now Maggie and Charlie will have to do. Now that Mom is done for the semester she says its officially summertime! I don't know what that means either. But, she sure seems excited.

Happy Mother's Day

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

To: all the many women in my life. Where do I begin?? Happy Mother's Day to my Mom, to my Rachel, to my Grandma Dee, Grandma Shauna, Nana Sheila, Grandma Stacy, Aunt Shaunee, Aunt Julianne, my 2 Aunt Kelly's, Aunt Amber, Aunt Jenny and Aunt Christina. I think I covered all the necessary family members, but I'm sure I forgot a few...just remember I'm only 1 1/2 so don't hold me too responsible. I love to give kisses now so consider yourself kissed....from me to you!!!

Vegas Baby!!

This is my Mom, Dad and me right before going to my Uncle Eric's wedding! We drove all the way to a place called Las Vegas with my Grandma and Grandpa Kesler. I love Gma and Gpa, but I wasn't too thrilled about that drive. Mom told me I should be happy there wasn't much traffic since we drove there on NEW YEAR'S DAY@! Dad told me this place called Vegas is where he and all his boy friends get together once a year. He says maybe when I get bigger I can come too. Mom says "NO WAY!!" That Vegas place sure has a lot of lights. Those were pretty. There were a lot of people there too. But, like I said we went there to see Uncle Eric marry my Aunt Jane. They got married at the Riviera Hotel. I got to see a lot of cousins and I was told by a lot of people that I am really cute. I'm not cute, I'm handsome!!! Just ask my Mom, she tells me so every.day.

Patience Tester

My Mom says that I test her patience every single day. I don't know why she says that....apparently, she doesn't like it when I throw her shoes in the garbage, or stand on the dishwasher door and unload the dirty dishes onto the kitchen floor. I thought I was helping out. Every time she tries to explain why that's a "no no" she's laughing. So, is it really a "no no"? I sure like to see her laugh, so I just keep doing these "no no" things. My favorite game these days is when she calls my name, I run as fast as I can into my room and shut the door. Then I stand against the door so she can't open it. She really gets flustered when I do that, especially when we're in a hurry to go somewhere. My Grandma Shauna bought me a shirt that says "Patience Tester" on it and I tried to let Grandma know that she really needs to get one of those shirts for my Dad. Between my Dad and I, I think my Mom is really gonna start tearing her hair out. Dad does things on purpose just to get her all fired up and then he blames me. Who needs a brother when you have a Dad like mine?? He teaches me all the tricks to drive my Mom nuts!! At bedtime I'm nice to my Mom because I really like it when SHE puts me to bed. I'll cuddle with her while I drink my sippy of milk. When she starts rubbing my legs and kissing the top of my head, I know she's putty in my hand. I go to bed with her thinking I'm the best thing in her world.

Pelican, Dad and Table Dancing

This is the first pelican I've ever laid eyes on. Mom and Dad were surprised he just sat there with people walking by and surrounding him. This is on the Huntington Beach pier....we met my Aunt Julianne and my cousins for brunch at Ruby's....the pelican was just an added bonus.

Here's my Dad and me on the pier. Mom loves this picture of her boys.

This is me table dancing on Christmas morning for my grandparents, Aunt Mary and Uncle Dan. Mom made them all come over Christmas morning to see my loot and my cute self. She at least fed them for coming over. Oh, and Grandma Shauna brought over HOMEMADE cinnamon rolls. They were to die for YUM. I was actually table dancing for more cinnamon roll. Grandpa Marv was a sucker and kept giving me bites of his. Thanks G-pa!!

Happy Halloween, Happy Turkey Day & Merry Christmas!!

As usual it has been forever since Mom and I blogged. What can I say?....I wear my Mom out and she is just plain pooped!! Since our last post there was Halloween, Thanksgiving and today is Christmas. Here's a few pictures til next time. Just to hold you in suspense til next time....today Mom, Dad and I made breakfast for my grandparents, Aunt Mary and Uncle Dan. I got to entertain everyone by dancing on the table. Great fun!! It should be Christmas everyday!!
