My big boy bed

I sleep in a big boy bed now. Mommy was too afraid I would fall out of my crib because I would climb on the rails. I was just playing. I really like my big boy bed. I especially like that I can get out whenever I want and go to Mommy and Daddy's room. Mommy and Daddy aren't too happy about it though.

Happy 4th of July - 2011

Since Auntie Janelle is studying for her final week in Nursing School, we did not have our usual 4th of July party. However, we went for a quick swim in the pool and bbq on Sat. I love swimming!!! On the 4th of July, Mommy, Daddy, and I stayed home and went to the Mission Viejo Street Fair. We even lit sparklers in our backyard. I was too tired to stay up and watch all the firework shows across the skyline. Maybe I'll stay up late next year?

Playing outside

Visit with the Clayton Family

My friends came to visit us and had a great weekend. We played outside, went to the Irvine Zoo, went on a train ride, and rode the carousel at the Irvine Great Park. Nino Matt and his family came to visit too. It was a great weekend. I can't wait to see them again next year.

Aloha!!! My vacation in Mau!

Aloha! I'm back from Maui and I had a great time. It all started with my first airplane ride. I slept for the first 2 hours of the ride and I was chillin' for the last 3 hours. Mommy said I did a great job. Maui was wonderful. The weather was warm, sunny, and cool breezes that were refreshing. Everywhere you looked, were views to die for. Since our condo was only a few feet from the ocean, we feel asleep to waves crashing on the shore.

Grandpa John took me for walks at least 4 times a day. We went to the beach, played in the sand, and swam in the ocean. We went swimming everyday in the pool. I even learned how to jump into the pool, with the help of daddy catching me. We got to see a hula show with keiki's. I think I found my future wife. Mommy, Daddy, and Grandpa had a great time too. I can't wait to go back to Maui.

Spring has sprung - Picking Strawberries

I spent some time today picking strawberries in Carlsbad with Daddy's family. It was an adventure. It was Mommy's first time picking strawberries too. After visiting the strawberry field, we went back to Grandma Katy's and Grandpa Al's house to celebrate March and April birthday's with my family. It was a great day!

Happy Easter - 2011

Happy Easter! I started off the day opening up my Easter basket from the Easter Bunny. The Easter Bunny brought me alphabet flash cards and a rash guard that I needed for Maui. Then Mommy made me Mickey Mouse pancakes. Grandpa John came for breakfast and he brought me an Easter basket filled with bubble toys and a puzzle book. Daddy wasn't feeling well, so Mommy and I went to visit our family. Grandma Lu got me an Easter basket with books and money. I got to see my cousin Joce again. Then we went to Grandma Carmen's and visited with the Diaz family and we went to Mom & Pop's and visited with the Sanchez Family. I have a lot of little cousins, so we had our Easter egg hunt at Mom & Pop's. At first I wasn't sure of what to do since this was my first real Easter egg hunt, but Grandpa John and Mommy helped me fill my basket. It was a great day and I feel like a very lucky little boy.

My vacation to "the city"

Mommy LOVES San Francisco since she use to live in the Bay area, so we went to visit some of Mommy and Daddy's friends. We hung out with the Cramsey Family on Friday and I got to meet and play with Joce and Ariana. I'm looking forward to meeting their new little brother who will be born in June. After our play date, we went to Zachary's Pizza in Oakland. It was Mommy's favorite pizza place and Daddy likes it too. After the yummy pizza, we drove into the city and cruised around a bit. Mommy wanted to show me some of her favorite spots - Lombard Street, Palace of Fine Arts, and the view from Treasure Island. She wanted to show me Twin Peaks, but we ran out to time. We then went to visit the Clayton Family and I got to play with Malea and Xiara. I've played with them before when they came to visit me at my house last summer. Xiara took good care of me and they both entertained me. It was getting late and I was very tired so we went to our hotel in Half Moon Bay where we stayed for the remainder of our trip. On Saturday morning, Daddy surfed with his friends Danny and Darrick. After their surf session, Mommy, Daddy, and I walked around town and had lunch. We went exploring through Half Moon Bay and it was a lot of fun. Late afternoon, we met up with the Boyer Family and the Clayton Family and we had a bbq. I got to meet Noah and Hendrick. They have a cool house with a sandbox and a trampoline in their back yard. We all had a great time. On Sunday, we met up with Tony and Alexandra for breakfast. Noah and Anke surprised us and joined us as well. It was a great trip with a LONG drive, but I had a great time. Mommy and Daddy tell me we'll be making this trip often. I can't wait to go back again soon.
