Zashi Loves Sledding!!!

I loved sliding down on the snow! I kept demanding, "Wanna go again!" :)

Turkey Day in U-talk

Greg hooked me up with all kinds of cool toys!

Maren got to meet Danni for the first time!


Danni got to hang with Gigi Margaret...


Sharing girl talk with Stephanie...


Playing in the living room.

Giving Papa a shot in his knee... loved the doctor kit...


Playing with Papa....

Holding Danni at the table. I got turkey... she didn't!

We had such an amazing Turkey Day with our family in U-Talk!! The food was delicious and the company was even better!! I ate turkey for the first time ... with ketchup!! (I loved it!!)

Up in the Sky!!

This is the first plane ride where I actually had my own seat! Two-year-olds are expensive!

Danni enjoyed an in-flight beverage!

Danni loved smiling at Daddy across the aisle...

My lovely ladies!!


Excited to walk the aisle with Daddy...


Putting 'little monies' in the gumball machine!

The best $4 Mommy ever spent... Wal-Mart gumball machines rulr!!


Happy little flyer!!

We headed to Sandy, Utah to visit Papa's Cousin for Thanksgiving! This meant that I got to go up in the sky on an airplane! My parents were a little worried about how I'd behave on the plane... and considering it was almost a 2 hour flight.... and sitting still is not one of my best skills... I surprised everyone by being PERFECT on the plane! Mommy brought me all sorts of goodies to keep me occupied,,,, my fave was a GUMBALL MACHINE! I spent a good hour putting 'monies' in it. The passengers seated around us thought I was so cute, they all gave me monies when the plane landed!!! Danni was well-behaved too... she smiled and made baby dinosaur noises the whole way! We love to fly!!

Triple Trouble!

Shooting hoops in the backyard!


Backyard exploration crew...


Deep, Aakash, and I unrolled the entire hose. I shined the flashlight on it.

While we made noise outside, Danni enjoyed some time with Grandpa.

Grandma got some baby-lovin' in too!

My cousins came to visit for Thanksgiving!! We had such fun destroying grandma's and grandpa's house, exploring their backyard, and shooting some hoops. It got pretty loud and crazy.... and I loved every second of it! I just wish that Deep and Aakash lived closer so that we could play every week!!!

Danni's 5 Months Old!!

She's catching up to me!!!


Danni loves me... you can just tell!


She can roll around in her crib now... she likes to sleep on her tummy!

She still hasn't learned that it's not nice to throw gang signs. (I put her hat and blanket on her...)

Danni celebrated her 5 month birthday this week!!! We can't believe how fast she is growing!!!
She weighs 16 lbs 7 ounces now!! Way to grow, Danni!!! :)

This month she perfected her rolling, she began playing with toys, she grew teefs, and she has started sleeping a loooooong time (9-10 hours!) at night!!! We are all delighted with her progress!!!

No Kiddie Kandids for Me

The Princess beanie makes me look a little less scary... (my idea to put it on... not my parents'!)

Our Christmas cards will be late this year....

Mommy had a holiday portrait session scheduled for Saturday. Guess we'll be canceling that! Road Rash makes me look pretty tough, doesn't it?!

Disneyland!

Danni tried to talk Mommy into some ears. If it wasn't like 85 degrees in mid-November, she probably would have gotten them!


I loved riding the "Up & Down" ... we went on it 4 times.


All of the kids were STILL for this picture! Photographic proof!!

Daddy got fixed on Wednesday ... so while he was recuperating at home, Mommy took Danni and I to Disneyland! My friends and their mommies were there too! Since she was busy wrangling two kidlets by herself, Mommy didn't take 14 billion pictures like she usually does - these are from her camera. I had a GREAT time... we loved seeing all of the holiday lights ... and I LOVED the holiday 'It's a Small World' ... I have been singing Jingle Bells nonstop!!! :)

Road Trippin'

My devilish little smile (coupled with the anarchist laugh means I am up to no good!)


Sillies in the car...

Screaming... because the acoustics in the car are fantastic!

I can't wait until I am old enough to DRIVE!!! :)

Danni's Ventura Debut!!

Ahntee Suz made a gorgeous sparkly banner with Danni's real name on it!


Danni prepped for the party with some beauty sleep!


Papa and I hung out and had a drink before the guests arrived...

All pretty in her party dress....


Danni loves Papa...
Danni loves to stand...


Mommy and Danni...
My two favorite girlies!
They tried to tame my hair...


I found a cool car in the shed... We had to put it away because it kept tripping the old people.

I was the beer monitor.

Danni enjoying some lovin' from Auntie Elaine...

I'll have to teach her not to show her panties when she gets excited!

Daddy with his sister... and my sister.


Uncle Po, Aunt Kelly and the party girl...


If you look closely, you can see the teefs...


Danni HATED this... Ahntee and Mommy tried to pose her with her centerpiece roses.

Guess who partied HARD?!


Guess who ELSE partied HARD?!

Princess Gangster...

Papa and Ahntee Suz are ALMOST as proud of Danni as I am, so they decided to throw a party to introduce/show her off to her Ventura fans. The 'debut' was held in Santa Paula last weekend. The weather was perfect, the food was delicious, and all of the little PINK details were perfect!!! Danni was a perfect guest of honor ... she let all of her devoted fans love her up... and only managed to poop on her tights, not her party dress. :) I was a helpful party host myself... I spent the party delivering beers and sodas to the guests. And no one except Mommy saw me put a spoonful of gravel in the tri tip. :) It was a great party!
