FULLERTON, CA - I've been helping feed Jake lately. It's kind of like feeding my Baby Alive doll, except the doll doesn't sneeze with a mouth full of food.

CORONA DEL MAR, CA - Nothing like a beach day in January. Aiden called to see if we wanted to go to the beach today - so I twisted my mom's arm and we loaded up.

It was a beautiful day! We had it mostly to ourselves, since most people were at work or school. Jake got to come too, and he even ate a little sand (just to see what it tasted like). I ran around with Aiden and Eli - we splashed in the waves and dug in the sand. Fun day!

FULLERTON, CA - Since we didn't get to go to the snow this year, it was nice that my school brought the snow to us! Today was snow day, which means I got to get out my boots and gloves that I keep in the "winter" bin in my closet. It's not exactly winter weather here in the OC, so it was nice to experience just a little taste of this season.

It was a fun morning! I made a snow angel, rolled down the hill, threw snowballs at my teacher (she threw at me first!) and snuck a couple of bites of snow in when no one was looking.

FULLERTON, CA - Happy New Year!! I rang in 2009 at Uncle Dave & Aunt Julie's house. We had some good food, played the Wii, watched a movie and counted down to the big moment. Yes, I stayed up until midnight - just like last year - but, this time I had company, since Jake didn't want to miss a minute of the action either! After the clock struck 12 and we enjoyed some fizzy apple juice, we ran outside so I could shout, "Happy New Year's Day!" I finally sacked out about 1:00 or so...but don't worry, I let my parents sleep in until 7:45 the next morning.


Happy 2009!!

Oh, and here's a quick picture of what I look like when I'm updating this blog - in case any of you were thinking it wasn't actually ME doing all the work...
