FULLERTON, CA - Today was my first day of Kindergarten! Daddy took me to school and stayed with me for the morning. We did some crafts, listened to some stories and I met some new friends. My favorite part of the day was when we did the Hokey-Pokey. Tomorrow I get to go to school ALL day, and daddy won't be staying this time. I think that's better anyways, he was a bit emotional this morning and I can't let my new friends see that - not cool.

It was a fun day - I'm looking forward to a great year!!

NORTHERN CA - Here are some pics from our summer vacation. Enjoy!

FULLERTON, CA - My apologies for the lack of blog posts lately, but we've been pretty busy around these parts. Here are a few of the things we've been up to so far this summer.

Mommy had a birthday:



We've been spending a lot of time at Splash:



Daddy had a birthday too:




Our Fourth of July was fabulous:




I just finished two weeks of swim lessons. Can't wait for Tahoe!

FULLERTON, CA - I graduated from Pre-School today. My cap and gown was pink (of course). We sang our "Zoophonics" song and then got our "diplomas." It was really fun, but I thought there might be a bit more to it. The whole thing was over in 28 minutes.

After graduation we all went for gelato at Frati. Then, after nap, we all went out to Soup Plantation for dinner. It really was a fun day...

FULLERTON, CA - Today was Donuts with Dad at my school. Daddy brought Jake and had donuts and juice with me. I picked out a sugar donut for him. Jake didn't get any donuts, but he did have some animal crackers and cheerios. That's OK little buddy, it won't be long before you get to bring dad to YOUR donuts with daddy day at pre-school.

YORBA LINDA, CA - Today I got to go to dance with my friend, Mikaela. We go to a place called, "Freckled Frog."

We get to do ballet and tap - my favorite is ballet. We have special dances that we do with streamers, blankies and pretend lollipops. I have a lot of fun when I go to Freckled Frog.

FULLERTON, CA - Today was Jake's birthday party. We decorated the backyard, got a bounce house, grilled some burgers & dogs, and had a few friends over.

Jake was OK with it, but seemed rather unimpressed with most of the details. He didn't even want to eat his cake! He took a couple bites of frosting and then pushed it away. That's OK, more for me!

He got lots of nice presents from everyone - some things even look pretty fun for me. I think that dad was happy to see lots of trucks and building blocks, and not as many pink, princess tea party sets. C'mon, dad - what do you have against pink?!?

Happy birthday, lil' buddy. You throw quite a party...

LA HABRA, CA - My little buddy boy, Jake, is 1-year old today. Daddy says it seems like it was just yesterday that we brought him home, but to me it seems like a LONG time ago. When will he start talking and stop grunting? When will he be able to chase me and ride bikes with me? Will he ever stop pulling my hair?

To celebrate, we met the girls at El Cholo, which seems to be becoming a bit of a tradition around here. He even got to wear the sombrero, just like I did when we went for my birthday last year.

Happy Birthday, Jake - I can't wait for your party on Saturday!!!

TUCSON, AZ - We came out here to Arizona to go to a beautiful wedding. One of Mommy's cousins got married and we were invited! The ceremony was OK, I got to sit with Morgan & Lindsay, but the real fun was at the reception. There was mexican food, dancing, singing and all the diet 7up I could drink - talk about a good time! Even Nana & Tata got out on the dance floor to move it, move it.

Congratulations Dominic & Jennifer - and thanks for inviting us...we had a great time at your wedding.

FULLERTON, CA - Tonight was my big performance at PreSchool. Daddy, mommy & Jake came to watch me sing two songs: "Happy Day Express" and "Little Red Caboose." Daddy helped with my box/train car...I was the "S" in J-E-S-U-S.

It was a lot of fun - I love singing and dancing...especially on stage!
