NEWPORT BEACH, CA - Happy Birthday to mommy! Today was my mommy's birthday so she got to pick what we did today. It just so happens that she likes to do some of the same things that I like to do...imagine that! Mommy opened one of her presents right after she woke up (a pair of super-cute Nike shoes) and there was a pair of shoes in the box that were just my size too...cool!

Julie and Dave came over to pick us up and drive us down to the beach for "Brunch on the Beach." Aunt Julie made us a yummy breakfast with a muffin, some grapes and a really good egg thingy from Panera Bakery. Mommy had spinach and bacon in her eggs, but since I don't like salad on my eggs I just got the kind with cheese.....mmmmm, good. The sun didn't really ever come out at the beach, but that didn't stop me from going in the water and digging in the sand. I really liked it when daddy and Dave were swinging me over the waves - fun!

For dinner, we got to go to BJs Pizza - I chose Mac n' Cheese - where we celebrated with their famous "Pizookie" for dessert. I hope mommy had a happy birthday, I sure had fun helping her celebrate it.

FULLERTON, CA - Happy Father's Day! I was going to get my dad a t-shirt for Father's Day, but they didn't have any that said, "Consistently Adequate" or "He May Not Be The Best, But He's Certainly Not The Worst." I'm kidding, of course, my dad's great. Mommy helped me make this video for him:



On Sunday we took daddy out to breakfast, then we went to church, and then we got to go to Disneyland! I was excited because we got to meet some of my friends there. Kayla and Makenzie were back in SoCal for the weekend...they live in Seattle, where it rains a lot, so I bet they enjoyed our nice sunny weather this weekend. Maybe they can talk to their mommy and daddy and get them to move back down here so we could see each other all the time. That would be so fun!





I would also like to wish a very happy Father's day to my Tata and my Grandpa. I love seeing them so much - we always have fun together!

BIG BEAR LAKE, CA - My mommy and daddy took me on quite an adventure this weekend. We loaded up the car and drove up the mountain to Big Bear Lake so that we could go camping! I've never been camping before, but I'm told people do this kind of thing all the time. I really liked sleeping in a tent and seeing all of my friends, like Aiden, Eli, Emma, Julia, Edward, Abby, Jackson, Alex, and Isabella.

On Friday night, I got to toast a marshmallow! Some other folks were putting their marshmallows on graham crackers with chocolate, but I like the gooey treat all by itself - yum! Saturday we went to a little zoo and saw bears, eagles, deer, bison, owls, snakes and wolves. On Sunday we all went down to the lake to dip our toes in the water and enjoy the great weather. It was nice and warm during the day - but not too hot - and pretty cool at night. Mommy made sure I was toasty and warm in my sleeping bag...I even got to wear a hat to bed on Friday night!

I really liked camping...I mean, what's not to like about playing in the dirt all day and sleeping in a tent under the stars at night. I can't wait until we go camping again!
