Time Flies!

Here's Maggie at the Pumpkin Patch at Half Moon Bay! I just can't believe how time flies by. I went to look back at pictures and she just grew so fast. Thank goodness she grew into her M&M shaped head. Hee! Hee! I have more pics to come of the fun-filled, never boring trip with Maggie's cousins!!!!!! I just wanted to share this picture as my baby is growing before my eyes. You go from perfect, well-groomed baby, to a crazy-haired, banged-up forehead toddler. She fell right before we left to the Pumpkin Patch. Whoops! Nothing a popcicle wouldn't fix. Thanks Nana for my shirt! It was a perfect day for it!

Potty training or "Potty Mouth"

I have some funny stories. POO POO STORY #1: Maggie was brushing her teeth and Sean put her on the toilet (with the seat down). Normally she brushes her teeth on her little stool but he didn't know that routine. So... she's brushing her teeth with one hand and with the other hand she says, "poo poo, poo poo" and points to the toilet. POO POO STORY # 2: We are over at Tara's dads house and Kylie and McKenzie have this enormous doll house with all the rooms decorated. Maggie walked around the whole time with just the "doll toilet" and kept saying "poo poo, poo poo". This girl is so fascinated with poo poo. POO POO STORY #3: Maggie had a sleepover at her Auntie Nicole's house on Saturday and she was saying really quietly "poo poo" and they didn't know what she was saying at first. So her Auntie gave her a big hug and then smelt and felt the drizzling diarrhea running down her arm. Whoops!!!! Sooooo... I guess Maggie loves poo poo!!!!



This morning Sean and I were eating breakfast. This is a BIG event for us because we never all sit down for any meal because of Sean's crazy work schedule. Maggie was in her high chair gobbling down her scrambled eggs. I had her try a yellow bell pepper. She was excited because she thought it was cheese. She felt it, licked it and then said, "Aack". We were laughing already but then she said, "Bailey, Bailey, Bailey" and waited for the dog to come over and then Maggie fed it to her. We were cracking up so hard. Now, she's going to have the habit of giving all of her veggies to Bailey!!!!! Smart though. I used to spit my squash in my napkin!!!! Right Josh???

Busy toddler!

I found these popcicles that are the perfect size for toddler's. She tries to go in the freezer every day to see if she can have one. She'll even try at 7 a.m. Yeah right!! Coffee in the morning only at our house!







Miss Independent! I know every mom probably says this but I'm new! She doesn't want me to do anything for her anymore. She even wants to put her socks and shoes on.









Babies, babies, babies! Or shall I say "BAAABBBIIIIIEEEEEEEE" We were driving past a guy pushing a lawn mower and she thought it was a mom pushing a stroller so she yelled, "Baby" the whole way home. I couldn't stop laughing! Here she is in the crib and feeding the naked baby some food.





















I thought I was prepared for our first pumpkin patch trip with diapers, change of clothes, sweatshirts, snacks, drinks, blankets etc. I forgot to charge the stupid camera. So Sean got one cute picture of her and then it died. Oh well! Were going again to Half Moon Bay so I'll take some more pictures. Not that anyone reads this cause I have 0 comments for each post I do but oh well.... not to make you all feel bad or anything.

Friends from GV

I love meeting up with my friends from GV! These two girls knew Maggie when she was in my tummy. They gave her a minimum of 3 hugs a day five days a week. All my Kindergartner's loved feeling my tummy especially when she kicked or had the hiccups. All the kids got to write a paper to me and tell me if it was a boy or girl, what I should name her, how much she'll weigh, and what color eyes and hair she'll have. As you can imagine I got a lot of funny answers.





Now their big 2nd graders! These are the days that I miss teaching because I meet so many great kids and their families. But, I can also always go back to teaching when Maggie is in Kindergarten herself.

M & R loved playing with Maggie at the park. They are so nurturing. I can only hope that Mags will be beautiful sweet girls like they are!!!!

Golden Gate

Can you believe that I've never seen the Golden Gate Bridge close up? We've driven on it a couple of times and I've seen it from far away. It was a perfect day in the city with clear skies and a nice temp. Obviously the old man who took the picture of us didn't think to get a better view of the Golden Gate behind us but it's still nice to have a family picture!!!!!

Maggie's favorite part of the trip was going to Mel's Diner where she got a paper car to put her french fries in. All the way home she played with it and yelled out "vroom vroom".

Fairyland

Do you guys remember Fairyland? It's been around since the 50's and you buy a key and use it to listen to the Fairy Tale stories. It is such a fun place so we decided to take Maggie there.
































Here she is going on the train (built in 1957) with Grandma. She didn't even want to eat lunch because there was so much to see.














She loved using the key to hear the music and/or story.

Watch the video and you will see the booty shaking. Fast forward it to the very end which is the best part!

Visit to Elk Grove

We finally got a chance to visit Auntie Colie, Uncle Abel & cousins Alyssa & Aidan. We had a blast hanging out and looking at old pictures of the family. Aidan took Maggie on a little ride down the street and than he decided to pose in front of the car. We all couldn't stop laughing! Aidan is in Kindergarten and Alyssa is a freshman... Crazy!
