LA HABRA HEIGHTS, CA - I decorated cupcakes at Aunt Julie's house tonight. They're for the party tomorrow night that's here at Dave & Julie's house.

Pretty fancy cupcakes, huh?

CORONA DEL MAR, CA - Mommy has been on Spring Break this week...it's been nice to have her home. We were invited to the beach yesterday afternoon by Maddy, Matt and Mikaela. We took them up on the offer (shocking, isn't it?). It was a beautiful Southern California afternoon - perfect for the beach.

After digging in the sand, sharing some snacks, dipping our toes in the chilly water and watching Jake eat sand, we headed over to Pei Wei for dinner. We even brought some home for dad since he'd been wanting to try it.

And I just thought it was going to be another boring Monday afternoon...

FULLERTON, CA - Aunt Julie & Uncle Dave came over and helped us plant some new plants & flowers in front of our house. Mommy was bored with our dirtpatch. I think it looks real nice, how about you?

FULLERTON, CA - Happy St. Patrick's Day! Okay, I admit that I don't know the actual purpose of this "holiday," but I'm all for any special day where we get to wear green clothes, eat green eggs and make green crafts.

Mommy made us green eggs for dinner (don't worry, they tasted just like yellow eggs). At the library we listened to stories, frosted cookies and got our faces painted.

All in all a pretty fun day. Hope your St. Patrick's Day was as festive as mine :-)

FULLERTON, CA - My cousins Isabella and Gianna came over for dinner tonight! Their daddy had a work something-or-other in Burbank, so they got to swing by for the evening. It was great! Isabella and I shared our little dinner table, played dress-up, did a dance or two and chased each other around outside a bit. It was great to see them. Come back soon!

FULLERTON, CA - Tonight was my "Open House" at PreSchool. Mommy and Julie came to see what I've been up to this year. I had a fun time showing them around my classroom. Jake came too - I think that he thinks he's ready for PreSchool now!

After we were all done I got a tasty treat (vanilla cone from McD's). I can't believe that I'm almost done with PreSchool - Kindergarten here I come!!!

PHOENIX, AZ - We just got back from our Spring Training trip. This was Jake's first trip out there - I think he had a pretty good time.

We saw my Angels on Friday, the Dodgers on Saturday (for Uncle Dave) and Nana's A's on Sunday.

My favorite part was staying in the condo - and swimming. I wanted to go swimming every day, but it was too cold. Plus we HAD to go to a baseball game every day. I voted for swimming instead of baseball one day, but was outnumbered. I did get to go in the hot tub once, which was nice, but not quite the same...

I had my very own room in the condo, which was nice in case I wanted to go take a nap or read some books.

Thanks for planning the trip, Aunt Julie! I think we all had a pretty good time...

BREA, CA - My very good friend 'Bekah had her FIFTH birthday party on Sunday. She always has fun parties, so I was excited to go. You may remember that last year she threw a tea party for her friends - this year she invited us to Color Me Mine.

This is a really fun place where we get to paint something very special. I got to decorate a heart-shaped jewelry box. I painted it pink...I know, shocking. It was SO fun! I got her a "Fairy Cookbook" and some mixing bowls with a pink apron. I hope she'll enjoy them ;-)

Happy Birthday, 'Bekah - thanks for inviting me to your party!!!

FULLERTON, CA - My brother Jake is 9 months old already. He's 22 lbs. and 29 inches long. He has 6 teeth in and several more on the way. He still makes goo-goo eyes at all the pretty ladies.

ANAHEIM HILLS, CA - All of my friends are turning 5 - it's so exciting! Today was my friend Chelsea's birthday. She had her party at Pump it Up, just like last year.

There were LOTS of nice kids there. We all played on the different bouncy things and then got to have pizza and cupcakes. It was a very fun party - thanks for inviting me, Chelsea. Happy Birthday!

FULLERTON, CA - Happy Valentine's Day! I really like this day because there's lots of red and pink everywhere.

Yesterday I went with daddy to pick out some flowers for mommy. He wanted to get some red ones and some white ones. I thought that sounded OK, but we definitely needed some pink ones too. Good thing for him that he listened to my advice, because mommy l-o-v-e-d her flowers!

We opened some more cards today, and we all got a little something sweet. Plus I got a couple of Valentine's Day books and a cool new "Madeline" movie. Later tonight I'm going over to a friend's house so that mommy and daddy can go on a date. I hope they have fun - I know I will!
