Brandon is in a Toddler Bed!

 

I like my new bed very much.  Mommy was quite impressed with me because I stay in my bed at night and nap times.  Then I had to prove her wrong.  I am very stealthy and Mommy never heard a peep from me. Then mommy decided to pop her head in to see my cute sleeping face and this is what she found.  It is fun getting into the diapers, closet, and drawers. There was lots of entertainment when  I discovered my freedom!  I even tried to undress myself.

 

A Day with Auntie Ellie

First we fed and pet the chickens.  Auntie Ellie's chickens are friendly.  She held them and gave them love from the first day they hatched and now they are the best chickens! 

 Then we went for a walk...yes even in California it gets cold.  This is what a drought looks like in winter/spring. 

Our Camping Trip

We went camping in Malibu From Friday to Monday.  It was our first true camping trip and we all had a great time.  We are already planning our next one. 

 

Here is our campsite with our very own kitchen and mansion.

On Saturday we spent the day at the beach.  We were so excited to see and touch the ocean.  It took Nolan the longest to warm up to touching the water, but Emma was out in the waves as fast as she could.

 Nolan liked playing in the sand and climbing the rocks the best.

On Sunday we went hiking.  We had a blast, though some of us were a bit worn out at the end and little Libby (the dog) got ticks.  We all had ticks on us as well, but nobody got bite by one.

Emma Turns 5!

I had a Minnie Mouse Party with my preschool friends.  We had a good time playing games, dressing up in princess outfits and eating lots of cake.

 

My favorites are still pink and purple, Minnie Mouse, and Thomas and Friends Wooden Train Tracks.  Building train tracks are a must everyday.  I am 41 inches tall and weigh 36 pounds.  I am the second smallest kid in my class.  I have done very well in preschool academically and socially.  I am definitely ready for Kindergarten. 

While Emma is at Preschool...

We invade her room and have boyish reading time on her tall comfy bed! Emma, we did not play with your very special toys we just looked...and maybe touched a little.

 

Our Little Gymnast

I am in the 4 to 6 year old level 1 class.  I am learning to be brave and try new things.   I am the smallest one in my class and it is hard to reach the bars because everyone is taller than me, but I am having a good time.

 

Nolan And Brandon Are Pals

 

We are beginning to enjoy more male bonding time since Brandon is getting older and Emma is at school a lot.  I like to wrestle with my little brother and make him laugh by being goofy.  I also like racing toys down the slide with him.
