Papa's bday / Kimi's bday party

July 8th

Today is Papa's birthday. We miss him so much. We all went to the cemetery to visit him and I helped Bachan put flowers in a vase for him. I even sang happy birthday to him. I hope he was looking down on us listening. Happy Birthday Papa!

Happy bday Papa!

Later that day we went to Kimi's 2nd bday party! They had it at a really nice gymnastics place and I had a lot of fun jumping, running, climbing and rolling! It was fun to see all the kids too! Happy Birthday Kimi! Thanks for inviting me!

SACBC Bazaar

July 7th

Today we went to the SACBC Bazaar. I had gone last year but this was the first year that I was able to participate in some of the games! I had a lot of fun playing them and getting prizes! I even got to play some pull tabs with Daddy! Unfortunately we didn't win much on that game though!

Alameda County Fair

July 4th

Today my daddy had the day off the for holiday so we all went to the Alameda County Fair. I went last year, but I was too little to remember or participate in anything. This year I got to really enjoy the animals! I loved the rabbits, ducks, birds, cows, pigs, horses and sheep! And when I saw the pony rides I wanted to touch and ride the pony! But when I got on, I wanted to get off! They didn't stop the ride though even though I tried to cry myself off of it! Finally by the end I managed to fake a little smile for the camera! We had a lot of fun and I didn't want to leave all the animals!

Not happy about being on this pony!

Slowly accepting the fact that they won't let me off

My first corn dog!

Garrett's 2nd bday

July1st

Today we went to the beach to celebrate Garrett's 2nd bday! It was a perfect day to be at the beach! I had a lot of fun playing in the sand, although I didn't like to walk in it because it was too hot! And I still don't like to get too close to the ocean, maybe if daddy were here I would've though! I got to play with a lot of my friends and even participate in a water balloon toss ( although my balloon was the first to pop ... I was not happy about that! Luckily there were plenty of extra balloons to play with). Thanks for inviting me to your party Garrett! Happy Birthday!

Phoebe's 1st bday

June 30th

Today we went to Phoebe's 1st bday party! It was at a really nice park and I had so much fun running around. They had a scavenger hunt and some finger stamp art too! I needed some help with the scavenger hunt and found Phoebe's cousin willing to help me! She was so nice and patient with me! She held my hand through the whole thing and took me to all the 'stations' to get my prizes!! I really liked her a lot and wanted to keep hanging out with her the whole party! Happy Birthday Phoebe!

trampoline

June 20th

Tonite we went over to my Daddy's coworkers house for dinner. They had a huge trampoline there and I had a lot of fun playing around on it! I still haven't mastered 'jumping' on it, but I love running and falling all over it! I get to jump around on a trampoline at gymnastics, but for some reason I'm never this excited or energetic on it like I was tonite ( my mommy blames the sugar from the brownie I ate!).

June 17th

I'm slowly learning to jump and Daddy's been helping me gain my confidence! I love jumping and practice all the time but it's a lot more fun when Daddy lifts me up!
