Happy Birthday, Grandpa Robert!

Three generations of Brasher Boyz... and a yummy cake!

Three Mr. and Two Mrs. Brasherz.... Cool!


Pounderizing GPR's cane!

I found a music box!

"Hiding" in GPR's walker...

It was a weekend of grandpa love! On Sunday, we visited Grandpa Robert in Long Beach to celebrate his 88th birthday! We had lunch and some yummy cake with Grandma Marilyn, Auntie Alicia and Uncle Brian (They gave me the adorable outfit I'm wearing for my birthday!). Grandpa Robert let me play with his cane - I managed to only destroy a couple of things (and to whack myself in the head with it only once!) :) It was a great birthday!!! Maybe next year, I'll know the words to the birthday song!!

Valyermo!

Chilling by the lake with GPL

My first clown encounter... I was brave!

Telling everyone about the benefits of sunblock

Trying to press the camera buttons!

Balloons are FUN!

Throwing my balloon...

I got my pick of the homemade donuts!!!


Mmmmmmm..... DONUTS!

Taking GPL for a walk....

This weekend we went to an art festival at a monastery (not to worry, ladies, I'm not looking to join or anything!). My Great Grandma Alice and Great Grandpa Don started going to this many years before I was even a twinkle in my mommy's eye. Since then, it has become a family tradition.... one that I love! I saw my first clown (not afraid - even a tiny bit!), sampled a homemade donut (and then another!), splashed in the fountain, took GPL on a walk, and danced with everyone to the songs that "Nuns for Fun" sang (they're like "Sister Act") ... It was a fabulous day!! Can't wait for next year!

Mommy N Me!

Finally, Daddy steps behind the camera ... here's Mommy and Me - getting ready to go to Valyermo!! I collected intelligence AND good looks from her side of the fam! (Okay... Daddy had a little sumpin' to do with it too!)

Trix are for FUSSERS!

Cackling at my handiwork....


The Destructivon strikes again!


Making sure every last Trix is on the floor!

Deeeeelicious!!

I stretched and strained and managed to grab a box of Trix from the pantry. I LOVED that it made a cool noise when I shook it! I loved it even more when I dumped it upside down and hundreds of little Trix balls went EVERYWHERE! I even did a little crunchy victory dance in the middle of my mess. Mommy wasn't as tickled with the mess as I was! :)

Mojo n Me

Wake up, Moj!

Moj looks less than thrilled to be having this conversation!


Moj wants me to leave so he can go back to sleep!


LOVE my kitties!!

On the prowl for more kitty lovin'!

I am making friends with my furry brothers! Mojo, our grey kitty, is not as afraid of me now. It's mainly because I am learning the art of "gentle" petting... Recently, when I approach him, Mojo doesn't take off for higher altitudes - he humors me for a bit before he scurries away. I love to interrupt his kitty naps.... here's us having some quality time (which usually consists of me pointing at him and saying "kitty" a thousand times!)

Visiting Mama Vee!

Multi-tasking - collecting Mama Vee kisses AND playing!

Stackerizing!

Concentrating while I wait for my rice and beans!

Animal cookies in the gold chair at Mama Vee's

Enjoying another snack! YUM!

I got to spend the afternoon with Mama Vee and Uncle Paul! We went to Taco Pub for lunch (one of Mama Vee's favorites!) Uncle Paul and I got in trouble for raging at the table and knocking chips all over the floor. :) I LOVE to dip my own chips in salsa (and eat them afterward!) and to eat rice and beans!! YUM! After lunch, I played at Mama Vee's house. She gave me lots of treats and had tons of new toys for me to play with. I was most interested in her stereo, remotes, nightlights, and fans! It was such a nice visit - being spoiled feels GREAT! :)

Slider Z!

Sliding down my new "big boy" slide!



Going back for more!!
Little boy, BIG slide!

Always on the go....

Nope... not a post about baby hamburgers... I got a new slide! My friend Aiden moved to Texas this past weekend.... he gave me his big red slide!! I've had lots of fun climbing on it -- Mommy and Daddy are glad that I have something appropriate to climb on now (instead of coffee tables, chairs, and boxes of daddy's journals!)

SpoonZzz!!

I LOVE playing in the kitchen! Here's my newest favorite game! :)

Water Baby!

THERE's the fountain!!

Happy little water monkey!

Splashing in the sprinkler!

I always get surprised when the fountain sprays me!

Blowing bubbles in the puddle....

What a perfect way to end the day!

I LOVE the water! Luckily there is a SECOND water park that just opened near our house! This weekend we went and checked that one out! It's a little smaller, but the girls that hang out there are much hotter! ;) I had a blast splashing in all of the sprinklers and fountains! Mommy just wishes I would slow down a bit so that she'd get some better pictures of me! :)

Fun in the LBC!

Checking out Grandma Marilyn's exercise bike...

Climberizing out of the trash can...

Helping clean up!

Enjoying the big comfy chair!

Being crazy with Daddy!

I got to visit my Grandpa Robert and Grandma Marilyn this weekend in the LBC. We had lots of fun! I raided their junk food stash (I got into the animal cookies all by myself!), turned their computer on and off about 5 million times (just making sure it worked!), and I played basketball with their trashcan! They didn't mind, in fact, they loved having me there so much that they shared their Tofutti Cuties with me! (A yummy "healthy" ice cream sandwich made of tofu - YUM!)

15 Month Glamour Shots!

Mommy and Daddy dressed me up, combed my hair and took me to Kiddie Kandids for another photo shoot. I'm getting quite good at these! :) I had fun flirting with the photographer (even though she wouldn't let me press the buttons on her camera!)
