Squirt guns are fun

So, I guess the whole neighborhood got the memo on the nice weather cause when I got home from school on Friday, we hurried up back into some swim shorts and ran outside. Mommy and Daddy blew up a really cool swimming pool with a slide and Jonathon and I played and played. Daddy and Matt and Paul pretended to wash their cars and lawns but really they started a big squirt gun battle. I really like helping Mommy do water balloons and throw them at the driveway. Phew. If this is summer, I like it. Mommy says she likes it to cause I always sleep really well when we do fun, water stuff. Rock on, Mommy!

Beach Baby

I'm pretty sure it's summer. It was so nice out on Thursday that I wore shorts to school. Mommy raced over to get me, drove home, threw Granny in the car along with some pb&j sandwiches, and ran to the beach. Now, I've never been to the beach before and I think the sea is really awesome. It took me a while to stick my toes in but once I did, I was not getting out! I loved splashing and building sand castles and digging in the mud.

After my toes darn near froze off, we dried up, did a face plant in the sand, and walked over to the grass to have dinner (round 2) with Mo, Dump Truck Debbie, and Maggie. And Daddy and Aaron showed up, too. I love the beach!

Wait. There's another birthday?

I totally don't get it. I had the biggest party I've ever seen. That was my birthday, right? I thought so, too. Mommy said Sunday was my real, actual birthday. But there was no party. And, mommy said she could relax and play trains with me and made daddy do breakfast, run the show, and snooze time. I thought maybe it was her birthday, too, but daddy said it was just Mother's Day. I'm so confused. Anyway, I liked having a quiet day cause I could just play and play and take stuff out of packaging and play. I got Fireman Sam's truck and a real Fireman Sam guy! Plus, I got all of his tools and gear! I guess maybe I'm the new Fireman Sam?!?!? My Aunt Joswin got me something called kicks. I guess they are cause I can sure kick a lot of stuff when I wear them and everyone laughs at me. One question. Who the heck is Chuck Taylor? A new train?
Oh yeah. I went to the "jungle" (Rainforest Cafe, for those wondering) for dinner. My Fav! I got to make a penny, feed the alligator daddy's monies, and hear the elephants and monkeys make a ton of noise. Loved it. Hey Bobby- Volcaaaaaano!

I'm 3!!!

Ok, I have to keep this one short because the day was soooooo long, it wore me out. I don't know how those people I call mommy and daddy expect me to handle eating hot dogs, cake, and fruit then play in my giant trains then open a ton of presents then play with my friends then sing then CRASH. I couldn't hang... I had to stop the madness. Nap time was a must-have event- I don't care that it was right in the middle of opening stuff. I was DONE!

I had a really fun day and was so excited to see everyone- especially Colby, my day care friend that switched schools and Joslyn, my original best friend who had so much fun she stayed the night at my house.

I don't really like admitting that I'm 3 cause I might have to stop doing 2 stuff. So, if you ask me and I don't feel like being 3 at that moment, I'll just tell you I'm 2. No worries.

Friday Fun!

I got a real kitchen! Ok, so the water doesn't come out of the sink and mommy never yells at me to "back away from the oven this minute or you'll end up missing fingers!" But, it's just my size and I've gotten really good at making chili in my coffee pot and serving non-existent pizza to everyone that comes upstairs.
On Friday at school, my mommy came and had tea time with me. Something about telling our mommies thank you for taking good care of us... All I know is I got to have yummy raspberry cookies and strawberries BEFORE lunch! Anything we celebrate where we have dessert first is my favorite holiday! My mommy was the silliest because she climbed up the playground in her "work" clothes (whatever that means) and went down the slide with me, Cameron, Kylie, and Marissa. I like tea parties like this. I just don't want anything to do with the princess toys Marissa is always trying to get me to play with....

Go M's!

I went to a baseball game! I saw the Moose, ate hot dogs, ran up and down the stairs, and played on the biggest jungle gym I've ever seen! I saw Andi, Clark, Daddy, and Bull! I got to meet the moose and get my picture with him and Daddy and I shared a big ice cream. I guess Andi and I have the same birthday cause I said Happy Birthday to her and she said Happy Birthday to me. I got to stay up so late- I didn't go to bed until 10!!! I really hope I can go back soon. I think I like baseball- especially the jungle gym part.

Fire Alarms

This is a message for all of the Fireman Sams out there. Please turn down the volume on the fire alarms. We had a fire practice at school and heard some alarms today when someone challenged the train right outside my school and those alarms are really loud. They hurt my ears. It makes me upset and nervous and I don't know what to do. Miss Jessie holds my hand and I really like it when the firemen come and the trucks come but the alarms need to go! Too loud!

Cinco de Mayo... and the last three weeks

Ok, so I don't have pictures. I was way too busy to get pictures. I went to Yakima last weekend to get my granny and bring her to my house. We drove over Friday night after dinner and even though I was really sweepy, I stayed up for a while when we got there... Granny got me new trains and McQueens! I didn't let go of them for the whole weekend. Rocky is my new fav!

Last night, we had a party in the street again. Mommy and her friends made tacos, nachos, fruits, and brownies and we sat on the curb (actually, I sat IN the curb, right in the dirt) and ate dinner. Someone made a pinata and held it up for us to use for baseball practice. I got to swing first cause I listened best (quick, someone make note of that). After the whole line of big kids tried, it finally broke open and we got CANDY! Between running around the park, eating candy, playing soccer, blowing bubbles, eating nachos, eating candy, interrupting dirka ball, hitting things with the baseball bat, and eating candy... I celebrated Cinco de Mayo in style!

I promise to get pictures up soon.
Hope to see you all at my birthday party this weekend!
