What do I want for dinner......

Summer Vacation-Carlsbad, CA 2009

My latest and greatest adventure was to Carlsbad, CA (near San Diego)! Unfortunately I don’t really have any pictures to share because Mommy and Daddy left our camera at a restaurant and now it is gone forever! Bummer! Mommy is still hoping it will show up. Luckily Daddy had a few on his phone though.

I had the best trip ever! We first hit the beach. I played in the sand and built sand castles with Mommy. Daddy dug me holes to play in too. I loved playing in the ocean and wasn’t scare of the waves at all. We also got to visit with Uncle Mat and his family the first weekend we were there. Then we went to my Great Uncle Tony’s and had dinner with them in San Diego. That was fun. They have a really pretty deck that overlooks San Diego.

On Tuesday I got to go to Disneyland!!!! I was so great! Right when we walked in I got to meet Mickey Mouse so I got his autograph. I also got autographs from Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Fairy Godmother, Tigger and Pooh! The best part was meeting the Princesses though!! Mommy waited in line for me (for 1 ½ hours!!.....thanks Mom!) while Daddy took me on the Toon Town roller coaster! When I got back, I got to meet Cinderella, Mulan and my favorite….Princess Aurora!!! Then Aunt Sara met us and we got to go on Big Thunder Mountain. Yup….I am officially tall enough for roller coasters. Mommy was really stressed out about taking me, but I loved it! I put my hands up and everything!! Can’t wait to go to Disneyland again!

We went to the beach some more and on Thursday we all went to the San Diego Zoo! My favorite part was the Giraffes! They had a Giraffe named Abby! That was really cool!! I got to ride on the big double decker buss and go on the sky safari too! We also got a new stroller. Someone took our stroller by mistake so we got theirs. Seemed kind of silly though since our stroller had nothing in it and theirs did. Weird they didn’t notice. Oh well…too late now! (note to parents….put your name and number on the stroller just in case this happens).

Now we are back in hot Arizona and back to school. Good news is that I just transferred to the 2 ½ year old “Transition Room”. I am almost potty trained and once I am three I get to go to Pre-school!!! Yeah for me!!

WOW!!

Happy Fourth of July!! I got to see fireworks for the first time this weekend!! Usually I fall asleep before they start. I went with Mommy, Daddy and Grandpa Schroff out to the Mesa Country Club. They had games, music and popsicles! We all had popsicles, but mine kept melting quicker than I could eat it. It was 102 degrees out, but it wasn’t really that bad in the shade. When the fireworks started I was so amazed. I sat on Daddy’s lap and watched all the pretty colors. Then I sat on Mommy’s lap and then Grandpa’s lap. After about 10 minutes though I got bored and went back to playing with my glow sticks. The next day I wanted to see more fireworks, but I guess I will have to wait until next year.

Munds Park Trip

This weekend we all went to Munds Park, AZ (near Flagstaff) to visit my Granny Annie! We drove up Saturday afternoon. I didn’t want to nap so I didn’t. When we got there we went to the club and went swimming. The pool was so much fun! I went swimming for two hours and Mommy and Daddy got to trade off lying in the sun!! It was only 80 degrees there compared to 108 in Phoenix! Then we went back to Granny’s house. When we went for a walk later that night I got to see real cows!! They mooed at me and I mooed back at them! That night I didn’t want to go to sleep in the big bed, so Daddy slept with me! I pretty much took up the whole bed so Daddy didn’t really sleep very well. The next morning we all went to breakfast. Granny then took me to the park and swimming again while Mommy and Daddy went and played golf!! Mommy says she played really good. Daddy said he didn’t. Poor Daddy! Then that afternoon we went swimming again and then went home!! I had so much fun this weekend! I can’t wait to go back and visit Granny Annie’s cabin again!

Next weekend is 4th of July weekend! Not sure what we are doing yet. I think this year might be the first year I stay awake for fireworks!!

My New Bed!

I am such a big girl now!! Mommy and Daddy put me in my Big Girl bed this weekend. We went over to Papa Maury’s to pick it up. I helped carry it out to the car! I love sleeping in my Big Girl bed. There is now more room for my pillows and stuff animals. I still won’t leave my bed on my own at night which I hear people say is a good thing. Maybe someday I will venture out on my own and surprise Mommy and Daddy in the middle of the night!

While I was over at Papa Maury’s I got to go swimming. I am getting so good! I kick my legs and can swim under water with only a little help from Daddy. Mommy and Daddy took me out of swim lessons because I was getting bored and started to act up and not listen. They say that I am actually doing much better at swimming now that I am out of the class. Who knew! They will probably put me back in lessons when I am a little older and I can go on my own. I tend to listen a little better to my teachers rather than my Mommy and Daddy. Instead of swim class Mommy and Daddy put me in “My Little Gym”! I love it. I can do gymnastics and run around. If I don’t feel like paying attention that day that is okay! I can run around and do my own thing. I am really good at listening to my teacher and following along though!
