Spring 2010

It's time to hit the slopes with my Dad! Springtime is the best time to head to the mountain because it's still raining in town and can be sunny up at the lodge. Plus there is a lot of space for me to do my favorite thing....WALK!

Do I have to wear these goggles? :(














We start with breakfast in the lodge, I didn't have time to do my hair this morning :)












I like to hangout on the patio and listen to the music...too many people watching me so I didn't want to dance today. ~hangin' on the patio~














Finally Dad took a break to come give me a ride. ~snowboarding~ ~snowboarding2~






















Mom follows me everywhere...she swears we walk 5 miles a day up there :)












I love to climb all the stairs, it's a little tough in my boots though.














I like to watch all the little kids ski on the bunny hill. The first week I was allowed to ride up the 'magic carpet' conveyor belt that gets all the kids to the top of the hill and then I would run down the hill. Now they say I'm too little and I am very sad...when is it my turn??

















We were eating lunch in the lodge and I got a little crazy and spilled my mac n' cheese all over the floor and I shouted "OH NOOO!!!" Mom quickly said shhhhh and I held my little finger up to here lips and said shhh. She seemed to think that was hilarous :) Later someone stole my drink cup...Who steals from a baby??!!??

I like to dance to the live music in the lodge. Luckily the battery on the camera ran out before I really got into it...I got a little carried away :) Oh yea...and they give away free cookies in this place, if Mom doesn't watch closely I end up with one in each hand. ~dancing in the lodge~

At the end of the day Dad didn't wan to carry me and his board and the big red bag so he put us all together and sent us down the hill ~sledding~












I am 18 months now! That means I am old enough to go into the nursery class at church. I have been knocking at the door for a few months so when Mom opened the door I ran in and never looked back! My hair got a little messy...but other than that I came home happy with a noodle necklace :)








They are always feeding us treats in nursery, but I only like the chocolate ones.


















How embarrassing...Mom thinks my bedhead is sooooo funny.



















I am getting very clever at climbing and getting into things. Nothing is off limits to me as far as I am concerned :)

Winter 2009/2010

Winter is sometimes a little unpredictable around here. As you can see our winter pictures look like spring and our spring pictures look like winter. Either way I seem to have fun!

I like to go visit the duck pond behind the house... but sometimes I get a little too close to the edge.















My hair is getting longer and curlier everyday!




























What is that bright thing in the sky!!??!! Even on our nice days we don't get a lot of sun so I didn't quite know what to think. Mom had to get my hat so my eyes would stop watering.







The nice thing about rain is that it leaves behind puddles!!

























Sunny Days at the Park!

I am mostly interested in the other kids, but they are not that into me because I am so little :(



























The one time mom decided to photograph me going down the slide I shot right off the end and landed on my bum! I gave her my best grumpy face and then bounced right back for some more.



















When it starts to rain we have to stay inside a lot...but mom can only handle so much so we go to the mall play land to burn some energy. ~mall play-land~ ~mall play-land2~

Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas! All my cousins came to visit us...hooray kids to play with. We went to the coast and stayed in a beach house with three stories of stairs to climb and plenty of room to roam.


When we went to visit Santa we waited in line forever and it was really cold. When it was finally my turn the 'elves' told mom it is best to hold me against her and facing away from Santa and then set me on his lap and quickly back away before I cry. I don't know what all the fuss was about but I was sure happy to see him and play with his beard. He's not scary at all!





I gladly posed for the Christmas card photo this year, but I have a feeling I might be in trouble...this seems like a set up.






Christmas Morning!! Santa really came through and my family spoiled me...I think my boots are my favorite though :) ~Christmas Morning~






























Here is the view of the ocean when we are sitting in front of the Christmas tree. Beautiful weather on the coast in December seems about right :)















A few days after Christmas we got some snow in town. Dad rushed home from work to take me out for my first time to play in the snow and my first sledding ~sledding~


















Me and dad supported the Ducks in the Rose Bowl...what a disappointment!

Fall 2009

A lot went on this fall of 2009. Here is a little review...







MOVING DAY!!!



~doin' chores~

We finally moved into a bigger place...and I'm lovin' all this extra space. I thought I was very helpful in the moving process if you can imagine. I also prefer the couch without cushions!

PUMPKIN PATCH



We went to the pumpkin patch...there's one on every corner.I picked out a pumpkin just my size.


HALLOWEEN!
I won the costume contest award for "smallest person WEARING their costume" because I actually left it on. I was much more interested in the carnival so I forgot about ripping my hat off.
~Bean Bag Toss~



~trick-or-treat~
We tagged along trick-or-treating with the neighbors because mom thought I would like to ride in the stroller and be with the kids. Instead I walked the whole way and the 3 year old neighbor borrowed the stroller. I nudged my way to the front of the crowd at each house I'm already a pro at this trick-or-treating. A little worn out afterwords though!


LOVIN' THE LEAVES!!! If I have to deal with all the trees at least fall is beautiful around here.




Happy Birthday Dad turned 31! I helped make the chocolate pie...and eat it too :)

Happy 1st Birthday

All I want to do is walk and walk and walk some more for because that is my new favorite thing to do. We went to the zoo for my birthday party because there's a lot of room to roam...I was much more excited about the animals than my mom anticipated!Dressed in my "King of the Jungle" lion hat everyone kept saying how cute SHE is. Dad didn't like that much.I loved the petting zoo...but they didn't love me. I like to grab hand-fulls of their coat. I was really into the cows.The Orangutan wanted my cookie...and I thought he just wanted to say hi.
It was a great first trip to the ZOO! ~zoo trip~
"Is that all for me?"

Delicious! ~eating cake~
