FULLERTON, CA - There was a box on the porch with my name on it! It was from Grandma and Grandpa. I couldn't wait to open it! After finally getting it open and peeking inside, I found a new friend - a new Mr. Bunny! Thanks, Grandma...I love it.

LA HABRA HEIGHTS, CA - We got to go over to Morgan and Lindsay's house for dinner tonight. Uncle Dave grilled us up some burgers and dogs - yummy. My daddy had two burgers...he's a good eater. After dinner we got to decorate some cookies. The best part was eating the cookies after we were done!

FULLERTON, CA - Today we got to wear our pajamas to school. Plus we got to decorate Easter eggs and do some other fun stuff. I really like school.

SPRING TRAINING UPDATE #3 (SUNDAY)

PHOENIX, AZ - Today was our last baseball game for this trip - so we went to see Nana's A's play the Rangers. I had a good time watching the game, meeting new friends, petting the doggies, eating snacks and reading books during some of the, ahem, longer stretches of the ballgame.

I met several nice kids in the lawn area that I wanted to play with. One of the little girls was named Ally. She was from Texas, but Daddy let me play with her anyways. She had a baseball that one of the players had given her earlier so we rolled that back and forth in the grass. She was nice.

The baseball game was very exciting and I cheered with my new pom-pom as the A's came from behind to grab a victory.

For dinner, we went to Macayo's for mexican food, but I had chicken tenders. Still delicious.

Tomorrow we go home...it will be nice to sleep in my own bed, but I'll miss Nana, Tata and our hotel. I like our hotel.

SPRING TRAINING UPDATE #2 (SATURDAY)

PHOENIX, AZ - Today was a beautiful sunny day in Arizona, so I thought there was no better way to start my day than go for a swim. My dad was nice enough to come in the water and play a bit with me. We splashed, and jumped, and dove for things at the bottom. It was a great way to start our day.

After swimming we headed over to Maryvale to watch the Brewers host the Royals. Aunt Julie was in charge of the seating and she, like always, did a great job! She scored us some sweet seats right behind home plate, and even picked up a couple extra in the grass section beyond left field for when we wanted to stretch our legs or rest on a blanket in the shade for a bit. I think my favorite part of the game today was the sausage race, although singing "YMCA" with Aunt Julie was really fun too.

For dinner we headed over to downtown Tempe and enjoyed Pizzeria Uno - just like last year! Then we went to the book store so Nana could read to me. On our way home we drove through a place with a yellow "M" to get a little something sweet for dessert. I love ice cream cones ;-)

SPRING TRAINING UPDATE #1 (FRIDAY)

MESA, AZ - Wow, we woke up early this morning. Mommy plucked me out of bed at 5:40 a.m. and dropped me in my car seat in the mini-van and we were off! We stopped for breakfast at McDonalds in Beaumont and boy was it foggy! It was even raining a little bit - yikes.

We picked up Nana and Tata at the Phoenix airport and then drove straight to HoHoKam park, Spring Training home of the Cubs. The Cubbies were taking on the Angels this afternoon and I told my daddy, much to his dismay, that I was rooting for the Cubs. The Angels held on for a slim 6-5 win, but, more importantly, I got to roll down the grass hill several times, eat some good food, and read some books with Nana. I even met a new friend named, Miley. She was rooting for the Cubs too.

After such a great afternoon, I had to sneak in a quick snooze in the car on the way back to the hotel :-)

After naps we got to go across the street to Arizona Mills for dinner. We found a place that had some good Mac & Cheese to eat and basketball on the TV's...what could be better?

Daddy says he's looking forward to the free breakfast at the hotel tomorrow - I like it too...sometimes I go early with Nana and then again with Mommy and Daddy. Hey, I'm a growing girl.

FULLERTON, CA - Tonight was Open House at my school! I had been waiting SO long for this day to come. We were all very excited to show our families everything we had been working on so far this year. Aunt Julie came and met us at my house, and then we went to my school. I was so happy that my friends Maddy, Matt and Mikaela came to visit too!

I showed them the seeds we had planted, the painting we had done, where the science room was, all of our crafts, and introduced them to my teachers, Mrs. Karen and Miss Vickie.

After Open House, we got to go to Red Robin for dinner. I had the spaghetti, in case you were wondering :-)

FULLERTON, CA - My daddy helped me build a "pillow-fort" in my bed tonight. Doesn't it look cozy? There were lots and lots of pillows - maybe even too many! Thanks, dad!!

FULLERTON, CA - It's almost Easter time so I had Morgan and Lindsay over for a fun little project. We made Easter Egg Houses! Mommy and daddy helped us a little bit, but we got to decorate them however we wanted. I think we all did a fabulous job, don't you?
