Legolanding!!

Ready to rock the park!

Striking a pose with Gracie!

Danni loved being silly with the big kids!

Sliding down the tunnel slide!

Making lego towers while Mommy & Daddy waited in line!

Daddy is skeptical of my drifing skills!

He has nothing to worry about!

Helicopter pilot!

Danni was actually tall enough to ride some of the rides!  She loved the copters!

Holding hands with Gracie!

I helped pull Daddy and I to the top of the tall tower!

When we let go of the rope and fell, I laughed like crazy!

Danni loved the little train!

Peek-a-boo!

Drifing!

No Beasting today!

I was surprised when the button made water squirt out of the giant lego!

Danni loved the splash zone!

Water slider!

Splashdown!!

Summer vacation means that we get to have all kinds of family fun!!!  Gracie and her daddy joined us for a day of fun at Legoland.  The day started out a little cold and gloomy, but by the end of our trip, the sun came out and steamed things up, so we were able to finish our trip with some quality time in the splash zone!!  Danni and I had sooo much fun that we both fell asleep in the car on the way home...  a first!!  Something tells me this might make Mommy and Daddy want to take us back to Legoland soon!!  :)

Speckle got into this basket by himself!

That's one content kitty!

Snuggle brothers!

They came with us to Vegas!

Speckle likes to give nose kisses!

Speckle and Sparkle are growing sooo fast!  I've really been enjoying their company -- and so far, they're not running when I enter the room, so they must be enjoying mine too!  They took their first road trip to Vegas and were pretty well-behaved!!  I love my didis!!

Miss Amanda is my new girlfriend.

Working on kickers...

... and keeping my legs straight!

The Beast was not happy that she was confined to the kiddie pool while I learned...

I've learned not to mind having my face in the water!

She Beast-faced through her entire lesson... but she cooperated!  :)

Now that I'm four and REALLY good about following directions and minding, Mommy and Daddy decided to start up swimming lessons again!  One of Mommy's former students, Miss Amanda, is doing private lessons in her pool, so Danni and I signed right up!!  I love Miss Amanda and have decided to add her as one of my girlfriends.  Danni has been a little slower to warm up.... but she is kicking and blowing bubbles in the water... hard to do with a Beast face, but she manages!  :)

Back to Vegas!

Mommy & I are the early risers, so we'd sneak out for a walk to the store for a 'secret donut'  (secret because Danni and Daddy didn't know about it!)

Danni and I were very helpful in the kitchen!  :)

Playing the fishing game at Circus Circus.

Danni REALLY wanted a Sponge Bob!

Drifing a monster truck in the arcade!

*I* bought the bubble guy's sales pitch!  :)

'These chairs are perfect for me!'

The new kiddie pool had some awesome water sprayers and showers!

Danni airplaned into the water!

She only drank about half of the pool!

This steering wheel controlled how much water sprayed out of the shower... cool!

In line to see the lions at the MGM...

Danni loves sharing kisses with Daddy!

'Big didi night-night!'

Doesn't Daddy look thrilled to be going on his 7 billionth Vegas 'escalade' ride?

Danni's too cool for the stroller!

Checking out the ostrich at the Vegas zoo...

'That big birdie smells!'

Danni preferred the little birdies.

The highlight of the zoo trip for me!

Not toooo thrilled about feeding the emu...

Checking her reflection...  and the fishies!

Guess how many times we pressed the emergency call button?

She LOVES elevators!

.... and cupcakes!

I got a 'dreamsicle' cupcake...  super yummy!

Since it wasn't our house (or our glasses), I got to drink milk out of this!

Danni enjoyed a strawberry shortcake cupcake.  It had sparkly pink icing! 

It seems like we just left!  ('Cause we did!)  But, we headed back to Vegas at the beginning of June with Mommy ... Her new boss took their school's leadership team to a 3-day conference at Caesar's Palace.  Daddy, Danni, and I played while Mommy learned.... and then we stayed a few extra days after the conference was over.  We enjoyed some of our favorite haunts and tried some new ones!  Our favorite 'new' adventure was in our station house's pool!  They recently opened a kiddie pool with depths of 1-to-2 feet.... and made even better with a bunch of water sprayers!!  PERFECT for Danni and I!!   I can't wait to go back!!!

Still a Soccer Stud!

At the end of practice, all of the parents make a tunnel for us to run through.  They cheer when we run by!  LOVE this!

Danni sat on my lap during the awards ceremony.

I love being silly with my sister!

Silly babies!

There's no place she'd rather be!

Receiving my medal from Coach Gabriel.

I got a 'special paper' too!

The smile of a champion!!  :)

Soccer remains one of my favorite activities!  I just finished my first session in the big boy class!  Even though I was the youngest in the class of 4-6 year olds, I still held my own!!  I scored lots of goals in our 3-on-3 games and have made my parents super proud by minding my coaches most of the time!!  Yay for Soccer!
