SWIM TIME

Ella and I are ready to swim

Do you like my muscle suit??

I use to be afraid of the swimming pool but now I can't get enough of the water. My buddy Georgia's neighborhood has a community pool and we've been taking full advantage of it. We've been having fun splashing around, eating lunch and then swimming again. Our mom's can't get us out of the pool. I can't wait to learn how to play Marco Polo. My mom always talks about how she and her cousins/friends would play that game when they were young.

KISS AND TELL

I feel a little embarrassed about this picture as it's a little R rated, especially for a toddler. My friend KendCaid was on vacation for 2 weeks so when he came over my house for a play-date, I was so excited. I guess as you can see from this picture we were both excited. Our mom's were speechless.

4TH OF JULY WEEKEND

We're in Poulsbo, WA crusing around with Grandpa Tom, daddy and mommy

I'm so happy because I just had 3 cupcakes. Yummy!

Daddy and I are just haning out and getting ready to go on the boat to watch some fireworks

This is the 4th of July parade in Bainbridge Island. This is my buddy Georgia.

We're at my buddy's Evan house for a 4th of July bbq

We had a busy 4th of July weekend filled with lots of bbq hopping. We kicked off the festivities on July 3rd at a party hosted by our friends Joanie and Scott. They live right on the water in Poulsbo, WA. We took their boat out to watch the fireworks. On July 4th we kicked it off with the annual Bainbridge Island parade. We then went to The Millers for a margarita party. We then headed to my buddies Evan house for a bbq and finally went to the beach to watch the fireworks. I can't believe that I stayed up until midnight. There was so much excitement that I didn't want to miss out.

TRIP TO LONG BEACH, WA

This is the family: Adam, Joe, Laura, Amanda, Daddy, Mommy, Roxanna & grandpa Tom

This shot is taken from our cabin

There were no bath tubs so I took a bath in the kitchen sink

We're having a bbq on the beach

I really liked running on the beach

I'm helping daddy setting up the bbq

Mommy hasn't flown a kite since she was 10. She wasn't that good at flying the kite.

My dad's family was in town ...grandpa Tom and Auntie Laura from Saipan, Auntie Amanda from Phoenix, AZ, Uncle Joe from Richmond, VA, cousin Roxanna from Tucson and cousin Adam from Idaho. We had a full house but it was so much fun to catch up with everyone. It's a family tradition to rent a cabin in Long Beach, WA...not the LBC where my parents lived. We hung out, played games, played at the beach, flew kites and hand bomb fires. It was such a nice and relaxing retreat.

FIRE FIGHTER DAY

Bainbridge Island's fire station hosted an open house. We were able to climb in the fire trucks and there were a lot of games to play. I also saw a lot of cute fireman...I don't know why I'm sharing that with you but I thought I would throw it out there.

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY

I just woke up and found my wagon in the living room

I was a little apprehensive about the gorillas but I ended up loving this exhibit

This fella kept sticking his tongue out

This was my 2nd favorite animal to watch...the penguins

Well, today is my real birthday. I woke up and found a cool wagon with a bow on it. I love my wagon. For my day, we went to the Woodland Zoo in Seattle. It was a festive day as I was able to have my favorite foods....popcorn, hot dog with fries and ice cream. My favorite exhibit were the gorillas.

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND PARTY #2

I'm hugging my buddy Ella

Playing with Evan and GG

Taking a stroll in my new wagon with Ella and KenKaid

Ella and I are just chatting it up

My favorite part...eating my cake

I love my grandma Mij

We're having a talent show and dancing to my favorite song from Flo Rider

My grandma Mij gave me a wheel barrel for my birthday

As I mentioned before, it's awesome that I get two birthday parties. This one took place at my house. It was just a casual bbq with my close BI friends. We played with all my new toys, ate hot dogs and then had some cake. We all had a lot of fun.
