I'm Sexy and I Know It

Big Slimes here. Just thought I'd post a sweet picture of me. I'm in the middle of one of my many sweet dance moves. I think the backwards helmet is and extra "special" touch.

A House Full of Monkeys

Aunt Shalaine and Uncle Cort decided to go to San Francisco for the weekend. Which was lucky for me because Axel and Marie came to my house for a weekend of FUN! We all slept in my tent together at night after fun filled activities all day.

The first day we trekked down to the beach. It was a little chilly, but we put on our sweatshirts and were fine.

The crystal blue sky is deceiving....it was cold!

 Mom made us stay far away from the water for a long time. Eventually she gave in and let us go closer to "get our feet wet". We were running away from the waves and having fun. Mom snapped this sweet picture....then looked up to see Marie got too close to the water and was laying on the sand with freezing water washing over her.

She was soaked! And freezing. So that pretty much ended our beach trip for the day.

Nothing finishes off a beach day like a tub full of monkeys! 

We woke up the next morning to pouring rain. Luckily Aunt Shalaine left each of us bags of treats for a rainy day. Marie's pet hospital was probably the biggest hit. Axel and I thought our "build your own dinosaurs" were pretty awesome too.

We eventually had to get out of the house. And boy am I glad because we went to Chuck E Cheese! It was pretty crowded because of the rain but we didn't care. This was a rare moment when we were all in the same place at once.

This is how we roll with skee ball...if you walk up the lane you can get a better score!

Even Jude was getting in on the action.

Axel and I scored with our tickets! We each picked about 4 prizes and still had tickets left over.

The sun came out again on Saturday. Mom took us all to Michael's and let us pick out our own wooden frames and 1 paint color. We hiked back down to the beach to find cool shells to glue on our frames.

 We had a pretty good bucket full so we hiked back to the house to start our project. I picked green paint, Axel picked black paint, and Marie picked pink. Mom got a bottle of blue so we each had 2 colors to paint with. We picked out the shells we wanted and put them on our frames when they were dry.

 They turned out pretty sweet, don't you think?

 Our last day together we headed out to the bike path with our scooters and bikes. It was the nicest day of the week! Too bad we had to drive out to Axel and Marie's to drop them off. 

We've got some pretty silly faces, huh?!

 It was a SUPER fun, exhausting weekend. We all crashed on the drive out to the desert. Too bad Mom couldn't get Jude in the picture too. 

I can't wait to have my cousins come stay again!

Easter

 We spent the weekend at Paga's house for Easter. Aunt Lou Ann and Uncle Jon's family was there too. We spent Saturday swimming and coloring Easter Eggs. The older cousins were getting pretty artistic with their dying jobs.

 I pretty much stuck to dropping my egg in one color and pulling it out 10 seconds later. You can dye a lot of eggs at that rate.

Axel and I working on our artistry.

 On Sunday, after church, we ate a DELICIOUS Easter dinner. Axel, Marie, and I thought we were pretty cool getting our very own table.

After we ate it was time to hunt down the Easter eggs.

 It was Slimes first year and he was pretty happy with one egg.

 Not me, I wasn't happy until my bucket was full! 

It was a fun Easter, especially spending it with my family.

 Big Baby Slimes here.

I just thought I'd take you through my 1st Birthday cake experience. 

I had to have a little help blowing out my candles. What's up Mom? I'm only 1!

When they first plopped it on my tray, I wasn't too sure about it. For all I knew they snuck green beans in this thing.

 I proceeded with caution. I just stuck one finger in and tasted it.

 Hmmmm, I detect no green beans or vegetables of any kind. In fact, its quite delicious.

 The only option at this point is to smash fist fills into my mouth until they take it away from me.

 Mmmmmmm.......

 .....CHOCOLATE!

 What?

 Is there something on my face?

 Sorry, did you want some?
(note: nice photo bomb by my cousin Axel)

After I was cleaned up from my chocolate indulgence, it was present time. I got a cool phone from Aunt Lou Ann's Family, a big water table from my parents, and money from my Paga (not sure what Mom did with that). The best present was from Aunt Shalaine. Not only did she give me cool shoes, but she gave me this magic box. Every time you pull out a kleenex another one pops up! Endless hours of fun. 

Thanks for an awesome first birthday Family!

Big Baby Slimes Turns 1!

Poor Slimes, we moved the weekend of his actual birthday, so some of his festivities were delayed. 

 Aunt Jill saved the day by bringing over a present on his actual birthday. He was pretty excited about his balloon...especially since it followed him everywhere he went!

 Aunt Jill, what's inside?

 I don't know if this was more of a gift for slimes, or Mom. Its one of those cool bowls where the contents down fall out! She also gave Jude a bag of extra cheesy goldfish crackers for his new bowl.

 It doesn't show this in the commercial, but if you shake the bowl really hard...the stuff will come flying out:)

 A birthday isn't complete without a trip to Disneyland! Jude got his first pair of ears.

 Happy Birthday Slimes! You'll get your cake and presents in a couple days.

Our New Pad

 After 2 1/2 weeks of furiously packing (I should say Mom packing) we moved to our new home. Isn't it a beauty? The best part is we are 2 1/2 blocks from the beach!
