Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I kissed her... even though she's not Irish.  :)

Love lovin' on my baby sister!

Mommy's lucky to have such sweet babies!

Making crazy noises!!

I learned all about 'Green Day' at school... so when it finally rolled around, I made sure that everyone wore their green -- pinching isn't nice!!!  Mommy tried to get a picture of us all decked out in our St. P's best, but we alternated between being silly-crazy and lovey ...  :)

Happy Birthday, Gracie!!

Little party animals!

Nothin' gets the party started like fully sugared orange soda!

Danni ordered her first Shirley Temple. 

Right before half of it ended up on the floor!

Reluctant photo op with the birthday girl...

This Ladies' Man was quite happy with the girl-to-guy ratio of attendees....

Danni got down to business with the Oreo Hot Fudge Sundae... Yum!

The balloon lady made me a sweet sword!

Since it was Farrell's, it was okay to engage in a little battle in the aisles...

Danni and Gracie got matching princess crowns... Danni kept trying to look at hers...

She loved the candy store.

On our way out, on of the servers gave her a 'little apple' (a maraschino cherry) ... this made her day!  :)

My girlfriend Gracie celebrated the big 0-5 at Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour -- one of our favorite places!!  We had a yummy lunch, played games, got awesome creations from the balloon lady, and stuffed ourselves silly with ice cream!  I loved all of the crazy songs and all of the N-O-I-S-E!!!!  What a great way to help Gracie welcome her 5th amazing year!!!

LACMA Rock Star

Rocking out with Daddy, Uncle Paul, and Charlie.

The Rock!

Danni, Charlie, and I weren't interested in the photo op!

The rock truck was huuuuge!!!

The LACMA Rock rolled through Chino Hills and Rowland Heights on its way to LA, so Danni and I decided to take a good look at it!  It was pretty awesome...  340 tons of rock on a specially designed trailer ... 200 wheels and 60 men to move it.  Crazy!!!  We're hoping the Rock is still at LACMA when we're old enough to visit it without getting thrown out!  ;)

Race Car Constructors

Mama Vee bravely putting her fingers in harm's way!

Daddy helped Danni with her tiny nails...

Hamming the bumper on my race car...

Danni's favorite part was painting her race car.  She chose BLUE (just like me!)

The first of the month rolled around AGAIN so it was time for another Home Depot project!  This month, we built and painted race cars.  We met Mama Vee for breakfast and did our construction at her Home Depot!   Danni and I both threw little tantrums when it was time to leave.  We are kind of into painting stuff.  :)

More fun in the SNOW!

I was SO cold... but super excited to be in the snow!

Snow smiler!

She didn't cry like she did last year... but she came close!  :(

I built a snowbaby.  

... and threw lots of snowballs!

Huddling near Mommy to stay warm!

They went back to the car to stay warm after 5 minutes.  :P

We FINALLY got our snow fix!!  The weather has been really warm, so any snow that we've gotten has melted before we could make it up the mountain to play in it!  We trekked up Mt. Baldy for some snowy fun.  The snow was there waiting, but, unfortunately, so was the wind.  It was about 35 degrees outside - BRRR!  Danni was not happy with the situation at all.  She consented to a couple of pictures, then headed back to the car to stay warm.  Daddy and I lasted a little longer - we threw snowballs at rocks, trees, and the porta-potties...  then we headed back to the car for a 'car picnic' as well.  Everyone was glad to crank the heater up!!  :)

Bouncin' Around!

Tunnel crawling screamer...

She was so pleased with herself to be going down the tall slide!

Almost airborne!

She was a little scared during her descent, but thrilled when it was over!  :)

Playing with the air cannons!

She was a pretty good shot...

Safety... and teamwork...

Jumperizing!

Bouncy baby!

Sliding 'super fast!'

She tried to prevent me from playing basketball! ;)

Danni and I spent a rainy morning at Pump-It-Up!  We hadn't been in such a long time, so it was a treat to rediscover all of the fun bouncers!!  Danni mastered the 'super tall slide'  and I played a bouncy game of basketball with some other kids.  We were both sweaty and tired when our playtime was over!!!

Hot Tubberizers!

Bucket head boy!

Part fish, part wave machine...

Baby splasherizer!

This is the face she makes when she practices her kickers!

Danni and I STILL love going in the hot tub!!  We practice our swimming (and cannon balls), make 'potions' with buckets/cups/containers, and attempt to splash all of the water out of the tub (and onto each other!).  We are definitely water babies!

Snow Delivery!!

I woke up from my nap to SNOW!!

Danni was skeptical of the snowball...

Uncle Paul, Daddy, and I had fun throwing snowballs at each other.  Some of mine actually hit them!

Winding up to hit Mommy with a giant snowball!

We even made a baby snowman.

He didn't last long....

Uncle Paul surprised us one afternoon by bringing a truckload of snow to our house!  He made a huge pile of it on our lawn -- we were so excited to find it when we woke up from our naps!!  We had a blast making snowballs and throwing them at the mailboxes, each other, and passing cars.  ;)  The best part about having snow in our front yard?  No one complained about being cold!!!  Thanks, Uncle Paul!!!
