Spring Photo Shoot!

What Beast?!

She wanted the photographer's camera!

Practicing our eggie hunting skills!

Danni jumped up in the air each time she found an eggie!

She'd pick the eggies up and I'd dump them out.  We're a great team!


Taking a break... the basket was a perfect spot to sit!

This was a happy noise!

Taking my sister on a walk!
A crazee walk!!!
A friend of ours arranged for a photographer to do a spring photo shoot at English Springs Park in Chino Hills!  (You may recognize it ...  Mommy & Daddy took their wedding photos here, and we've also done a Christmas shoot here!)  The weather was hot and sunny and we were (BOTH!!) in an amazingly happy mood.  Mommy had to do a last minute wardrobe change because Danni wouldn't wear her fancy Easter dress...  We were all pleasantly surprised at how well our outfits coordinated!  These are Mommy's pix... let's cross our fingers that Phil (the photog of the day) got some decent shots of us!  Stay tuned!




Easter Egg Hunt I

Danni sang 'Clean up, clean up!' as she hunted eggs.  Mommy has trained us well!

She found a candy inside and offered to share it with Daddy.  ('Cause it was melted!) ;)

Double fisted egg grabber!

"I won the Easter Egg hunt!"

So upsided to get lots of eggies!

Danni and her friend 7Baby got a lot of eggs too!

She's pretty pleased with her haul!

Eggs!!!

She loved opening each one to find out what was inside!

She was amazed at how many eggies I got!  I'll teach her my skillz for next year!

Happy little egg hunters!!
Easter's right around the corner!!  Our neighborhood church puts on an amazing Easter Egg Hunt for the community...  Tons of eggs, games, and fun for the kiddos.  The Easter Bunny even visits (but we were HOT and didn't want to stand in line to meet him...)  Danni and I were really into hunting!!  I nabbed a whole bunch of eggs (and didn't even have to steal any from my sister!)  When I got home, I hid them around the house and had my own egg hunt.  What a great way to kick off the Easter season!!  :)

'Blue Park' FUN!

Look closely... the graffiti artist knew The Beast was coming!

She loves to slide down!

I love to climb up high!!!

Swingsterizer!

She got a head start!

Big boy swing!

'Push me higher, Mommy!!'

Danni wasn't so sure about lounging in the grass!
Mommy, Danni, and I went exploring this week and found 'The Blue Park' ...  I named it that because the play equipment is BLUE ... my favorite best color!  :)  Our favorite part of the park was the 'racing slide' ...  it had three slides built into it so Mommy, Danni, and I could all race down at the same time!  I let the girls win once in awhile... but I was the fastest slider of the day!! 

Fun & Food Trucks with Papa!

Danni taught Papa about 'aminals!'

She's a very good reader!

She is very serious about her books!

Danni and I ran around in the grass while the grown-ups waited in line for food...

'Papa, you are a soft couch!'

Papa and his grandbabies!

Danni liked hanging out!

In front of the Don Chow truck with Daddy.  (Danni hates lines!)

We had a picnic in the parking lot! 

Food truck dinners are awesome!  (And worth the wait!!)
We love it when Papa comes to visit!!!  After we completed the MS Walk, we came home and relaxed for a little while... then we were off for a gourmet food truck dinner...  There was a Food Truck Fest in Chino.  Papa and Suz had never been, so we introduced them to the wonderfulness of food truck dining!  The lines were long, but worth the resulting yumminess!  We shared a delicious dinner of Chinese/Mexican food (Kung Pao tacos!) and goodies from the Bacon MANia truck ...  Mmmmm!!!  I think that Papa wants to go back... I know that I do!

MS Walk with The J Crew!

My girlfriend Gracie. We walked to support her Daddy who was just diagnosed with MS.

Enjoying a pre-walk donut with my girl.

Yum!

Silliness with Mommy!

What flew onto my cupcake?

Uncle Po and Aunt Kelly walked with the J Crew too!

Danni checked her shoes before the walk!

Team J Crew!  Can you find us??

Daddy walked... we chilled...

Danni needed a refreshing cupcake after the walk!

A sip of water was in order as well!

I built a tall tower of beverages!


The J Crew kids and I had fun crushing ice!

Making outside noises!!

Ice digger baby!

Danni posed for Papa!

RUN!!!!

Danni was too tired to walk back to the truck at the end of the day!
My girlfriend Gracie's Daddy was just diagnosed with MS...  so we all joined Team J Crew (J stands for John.... her daddy's name... pretty clever, huh?!) and walked to raise money for a cure for MS ... and to support him as he begins his fight against the disease!  It was a fantastic day ...  Uncle Po, Aunt Kelly, Papa, Auntie Suz, and Auntie Lynn all came out to participate.  Family... friends... yummy food... good exercise...  all of the elements for a great day!  :)
