Lovin' the Park!!

"A pretty flower for YOU, Mama!"

 Little boy.... big park!!

Danni didn't want to have anything to do with the grass!

 Danni 'made drum music' on the little bench.  (She didn't like having her toes touch the turf, tho!)

 Danni loves to watch me play!

I am an excellent climberizer!

I can climb to the top all by myself (and my parents can watch without having heart attacks!)   :)

When I slide down I say, "Coming down.... Wheeeeeeeee!!!"

 The infamous tunnel slide!

Running and running ....

Danni's favorite spot in the park!

Happy Danni!!

Spring is officially here and that means that there are lots of gorgeous sunny days perfect for park playtime!  I am lucky to live near all kinds of cool parks... this one is the "tunnel slide park" ...  It is also one of my faves because it has lots of hills for me to run down.  (I don't like running UP the hills so much!)  Danni is not yet a fan of nature... she doesn't like the feel of the park turf on her toes (nor does she care for the grass!), and she doesn't like wind in her face either.  She has lots to learn!  :)

Visiting Papa Harold

Danni liked Papa Harold's oxygen tubes...  (I don't think he appreciated this very much!)

 I liked Papa Harold's Jelly Beans and juice!

Mama Vee let Danni eat her necklace - I let her eat my Play Doh!

Danni played on the floor!

My great grandpa, Papa Harold, recently moved out of his home in Hemet into a Villa Valencia, an assisted living facility in Laguna Hills.  We went to visit him!  I liked the place a lot more than Papa Harold does... they have hand sanitizer machines everywhere, serve free cookies and juice, and have cool beds that go up and down with remote controls!!  Papa Harold enjoyed seeing us...  I washed his wheelchair for him and Danni tested the strength of his oxygen tubes.  We were stars in this place... I guess they don't have too many little kids visiting.  We hope to be back often to brighten up everyone's days!!  :)

Bottoms Up!!

 Danni and I enjoying a cold one!

Her baba got away from her!

Danni and I are starting to have lots of fun together.  She wants to do everything that I do... sooo whenever *I* have a drink, she HAS to have a drink too.  We took a drink break (near the Dora rug ... she isn't allowed to sit on it yet, she's too little)...   I'm not annoyed by the little sister adoration just yet... give it time!  ;)

Bounce! Bounce! Bounce!

I love running and bouncing!!

Gracie and I scaled the wall all by ourselves!

Crawling through the tunnel...

 Sweaty bouncer boy!

I hid from Gracie in the obstacle course...

Danni was too little to bounce, so she banged on the benches....

After bouncing, Gracie and I went for ice cream and watched a fountain....

Well... Gracie watched the fountain... I threw trash in it and laughed.  

 You can just tell I did something devious!!

The best photo our parents could get of us... 

Mommy's on vacation this month, so we try to squeeze in lots of fun outings!  Today we went bouncing at Pump It Up!!!  It was the first time that I didn't need ANY help crawling through tunnels, scaling walls, or sliding down the gigantic slides.  Mommy and Daddy were a little sad that I am so grown up ... but their knees were thankful that I could do it on my own!  :)

Playing @ Papa's!

Papa taught me how to use the battery tester....

 Guess what I wanted to do for the next 4 hours??

This is how Danni tests batteries!

I loved the air compressor (aka 'blower beh-beh') ....

I loved making wind with the blower beh-beh!!

I told Papa all about it....

Papa and I are too old for the activity table... but we pretended to like it for Danni's sake!

Danni is a basket case!

Danni loves Papa!!

After the Clam Bake, we spent the night at Papa's house in Ventura!  There were all kinds of things to play with there... although I'm not quite sure that all of them were toys!  ;)

Happy Birthday, Gracie!!

Danni got her first balloon animal.  She tried to eat it.... and it died.

 Gracie and I played with balloons!

Nothing says romance like holding your girlfriend's hand and escorting her to a pizza buffet!!

 I actually sat and ate at the kids' table with Tristan and Gracie!

Enjoying lunch with the birthday girl!

 'Mommy, you get out of here!'  (I sent her back to the grown-up table!)

I played my first organized party game ... musical chairs!

 I didn't quite get it... but I got to sit next to lots of pretty girls!

I took this picture of Mommy and Danni.  Yes, I made sure to get all of their chins!

Mmmmm....  Loved the princess birthday cake!!

Danni sat on my lap and I gave her kisses....

Yes, we were both sitting still AND smiling!

 Danni spent some quality crawling time with Jordyn...

Nothing like an ice cream cone with a pretty girl to complete the day!!  

My girlfriend Gracie turned 3 on March 13th!  We celebrated with a fantastic party at John's Incredible Pizza (one of my favorite places too... Gracie and I must be soul mates!)  I ate lots of pizza and cake, played games, danced, and then hit the rides and video games.  It was SUCH a great party!!!!
