Winter Beach Day

While the rest of the country is covered with snow and freezing weather, we have been having beautiful warmer weather and clear skies.  Mommy continues to remind us how lucky we are to live in Southern California.  To celebrate this blessing, we made it a beach day.  We went down to Little Corona to check out the tide pools.  We saw several different species of marine life.  Even though the water was extremely chilly, it was still too tempting not to go in.  It was a fun family day and I hope to many more winter beach days. 

Pinewood Derby Race 2018

I'm a Lion in the Cub Scouts and today was our Pinewood Derby Race.  We had to design build a car out of a block of wood, weigh it and send it to impound, then race it.  Daddy and Grandpa John helped me shape the car and I got to paint it myself.  On race day, there were several heats.  My first heat, I took 2nd.  The second heat, I took 1st.  The third heat, I took 2nd again.  My final heat, I placed 1st.  Overall, I place 2nd with an average speed of 161.23 mph.  The name of my car was Pinecraft Creeper as I fashioned it after a Minecraft Creeper.  It was so much fun and I can't wait to improve my skills next year.

Happy New Year 2018!

It is officially 2018!  This is my 5th year celebrating New Year's.  Every year is so much fun as we light off indoor poppers and confetti rockets.  We try to dress in yellow or gold for good luck.  Mommy has a list of all the traditions we need to do on New Year's Eve to say goodbye to the year and hello to a new year.  Mommy is excited for the new beginning, I'm just excited to set off my rockets.  It is going to be another great year!  Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas.  We had a wonderful Christmas Day spent with Daddy's side of the family at our house.  This was our first year hosting, so everyone came over to our house to celebrate.  We began our morning bright and early by opening up the gifts that Santa brought to us.  I got Chip the Robot Dog that I wanted from Santa.  Mommy and Daddy got us gaming chairs and a 12 in 1 game table.  We loved our presents and spent some time playing on our game table.  Our family came over midday and filled our house with even more presents.  We enjoyed a wonderful meal together, opened up our of our gifts, and played some games.  We had so much fun with our cousins.  The holiday is always a great time of year and this year did not fail to impress.

Merry Christmas Eve

Today is Christmas Eve and we celebrated with Mommy's side of the family.  We started with breakfast at Grandma Lu's.  Santa came early so we got to open a lot of presents.   After a great morning with Grandma Lucille and all our family, we went over to Grandpa John's.  We spent the afternoon with the Sanchez family eating, playing outside, and opening up lots of presents.  It was a fun time with all our cousins.  It was an early night to get home and get our cookies and carrots ready for Santa and his reindeer.

"Oh What Fun"...Holiday Performance

Today was our holiday performance at school.  We sang various holiday songs in front our our families and our big buddies.  We even performed a song in sign language.  We've been practicing for weeks so I'm glad it all came together nicely.  Now I'm ready for the holidays.

Gingerbread & PJ Party

Today we celebrated the holidays at school by making gingerbread houses in our PJs.  It was a fun day and Mommy and Daddy were able to volunteer at our party.
