So Ready for School!

Hello Everybody! I have been so busy that I've barely any time to blog. Let's catch up. Where did I leave off? Right...spring break! I had loads of fun with Mommy.

We spent some time with my friends baby Noah and Hailey. We had loads of fun. Can you tell from Noah's excitement?

 I showed Hailey my ever expanding train track. Since you ask, it's a Tomica and I could sure use more track, especially the yellow risers ;) I'm hoping to build a 3 story track and Mommy is going to build a custom train table just for me.

 I also got to visit Pretend City in Irvine again.

 The bridge was pretty cool.

 But my favorite was the traffic light. I must have played with it for at least five minutes.

 I got wet from fishing.

 But I did catch 5 fish and a lobster! What can I say? I got skills.

 And then I got to march in the parade. Dope stuff, I'm telling ya!

 We got to celebrate Daddy's birthday. Singing and blowing out candles are my specialty. I'm very good at it. Seriously. Good. Really Good.

 Me and Daddy do our evening ride while the sun is out.

 And I finally got to meet Uncle Ray from Hawaii. He's in CA all the time but we can never get our schedules to meet. He's a fun guy, I hope to see him again, sooner than later.

 I also like to get pampered. It's really easy too...I just tell Mommy that I'm feeling sick and throw out a few coughs, she is at my beck and call in no time.

 I try to carve out some time to blog but Facebook and Pinterest is all too consuming.

 Like my peach tree? Unfortunately, the neighborhood opossum liked it too.  I don't blame him though, it was oh so sweet and tastey-way better than the stuff you get at the supermarket.

 I did my song and dance on Lita's birthday. It was great. I'm thinking of charging admission next time.

 And then summer school. I was a wreck! New school, new teachers and the BUS!

 Yes, you heard me, I got to ride the school bus. It was an unpleasant first day...you know, the unknown and all. But the busdriver, Miss Martha made me comfortable almost immediately.

 And in celebration, we went to my fav LA Farmers Market and I got to ride the trolley at the Grove.

 TWICE.

 And to follow protocol, got my haircut in El Segundo followed by gelato next door. I'm a strawberry type of guy.

 For Father's Day, we went to Allie and Matthew's house for a nice lunch.

 This is what I made at school. I love you to pieces Daddy!

 Oh and of course, I unearthed a toy inside Mommy's closet. It's called a labelmaker and it's so much fun. Well, until you run out of labels. These are just a few of my favorite words. 

 Then I got to spend some time with Allie, Matt, Diego and Lucas. I stayed with them for 6 whole days. Mommy and Daddy took a vacation while I was gone.

 They got to see some cool stuff.

 and some not so cool.

 And now I've got just one more week before school starts again and I can hardly contain my excitement. It's gonna be a great year!

Spring Break!

It's officially Spring Break. I'm so excited, no going to bed early for the next 2 weeks!!!

Here is how I'll be celebrating...

I'll be visiting one of my favorite places...Tom's Farms. Not  only will I be riding the train and merry-go-round, my new thing is THE DIGGER!!!

I hope to be adding to my train set. It's so rad and I love it. I play with it before I go to school and after I come home, after my nap, before dinner and before bed and also in between all those times.  

I hope to be getting more tracks for Easter. (Hint Hint)

All aboard!

Mommy's been taking a lot of pictures of me...You'll see why when you scroll to the end.

 We got to visit Corona-Norco schools carnival. It was scary at first with all the noise and all the big rides but I summed up the courage to get on a ride all by myself.

 It's the first time ever on a ride without Mommy or Daddy so it was a momentous occasion.

 Then we spent a day at our favorite LA Farmers Market. I especially like hanging out at the fountains.

I'm having such a good hair day. Too bad...

Woops! How did this picture get in here? It's from Mommy and Daddy's fav spot, Gumbo Pot.

 THEN...

 I chopped off all my silky locks! Yup, I did! And I did such a great job, Mommy and Daddy were so proud of me. We went to Snip-Its in El Segundo and it was totally worth the drive. The owner Derek is such a nice guy and my new hairdresser Pam was awesome. I'm sold.

Happy Spring Break everyone!

Shaka bra!

Mid Quarter Update

Wow! Can you believe it's been nearly 4 months since my last post! Time sure does fly when you're having fun! So go and grab a cup of joe, kick your feet up and stay awhile so you can see what I've been up to.

I got to meet Tia Vita's new dog Emma.

She's super tiny here, almost lapsize.

Mommy's daily workout usually consists of cleaning the swimming pool and raking and pulling weeds so I thought I'd help.

Now, Mommy has to rake up all the leaves only once. GENIUS.

During my 3 week Christmas vacay, my cuz stayed a few days to keep me company.

And me and Mommy were busy making sweet treats for school. Since my winter obsession was hot cocoa, I thought to give all my classmates some with lots of marshmallows.

And my teachers got their own mugs filled with coffee, cocoa, tea and treats, too.

So in celebration of the recession, me and Mommy got crafty and made all the tree decorations. It was a work in progress and we actually never finished.

And we celebrated Christmas eve at Allie's house.

Christmas morning BEFORE:

Christmas morning AFTER:

Look! I got my very own bachelor pad!

And on New Year's Eve, me and Mommy stayed up all night! BOO to Daddy and Lita who both fell asleep super early.

And since we didn't host any holiday dinner this year, we decided to throw a New Year's party with fresh, hot homemade pupusas, courtesy of my Tia Vilma who came for a long visit from New York.

D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S.

And that, folks, was how I survived the holidays.

Now that things are more or less back to normal, I can get back to my routines like watering the herb garden,

And talking on the phone (this time to Grandma on Maui).
