Beach Bummin in New Jersey!

Here I am at the park by Grammy & Pop Pop's house...
The BEACH!!! I was so happy when I saw that there was a giant sandbox as soon as we walked outside. I could have sat there all day with my toys. It was great!
It was a little tough trying to walk in the sand at first but it didn't take me long to get the hang of it!
The ocean - I couldn't wait to get in!
Wheeeeeeeeee!
We met Grammy at her work and then walked to the Hopewell park. They had neat things to play with!
I think I can do the slide all by myself but Mom wants to hold my hand so I let her!
I learned to talk on the phone really well while I was visiting... just like my Grammy!
YUM - Jersey corn!!
Perfect beach day today! I don't have my bathing suit on yet so this beach ball did the trick.
I love the ocean!!
Auntie Kristin doesn't like the birds - but I like them a lot. I think one is headed right for her head!
Here I come!
Having a conversation with my Auntie Kristin. We're Grammy & Pop Pop's two granddaughters - one little and one big!!
This is great - Grammy pushes and I wave! It's like a parade!
I gave her a kiss for all of her hard work!
Watch out birds - I'M BACK! My little sister came to the beach as well! Here's Mommy at 28 weeks - 12 more to go
Grammy & Auntie Kristin were busy making little sand castles for me... I waited until they were almost finished and then..............
and then I smooshed them!
Kristin was cracking me up - she was running through the waves being goofy!
Relaxing for a bit with my Pop Pop
Swinging with my Auntie Kristin...
I LOVE swings!
Hanging out at Grammy and Pop Pop's - brown bear too!
Before we left we went to Terhune Orchards to meet Mommy's friends, Jess and Allison. I had lots of fun here... (we also got to say goodbye to my Uncle Jeff - he works here too!)
Mommy, Jess & Allison
My Uncle Jeff & Auntie MaryBeth painted these!
This is Jasmine - she's 10 and I really liked her!
Jess and Kevin's family: Shane, Will & Jasmine...
Will disappeared so I took his place!
I couldn't pick a pumpkin because it wouldn't fit on the airplane so I'll have to wait until we get back to AZ. Bye bye New Jersey - I love you all!!!
Happy Fall! I celebrated by drinking apple cider and eating a delicious apple! Miss you!

Daddy's Birthday Weekend in Seattle!

When we were landing in Seattle, we flew right next to Mount Ranier... pretty amazing!
Once our room was finally ready, I was so tired and did not want to sleep in the pack & play (it was too small!)... really I was just making noise so I could get out and sleep in this bed! Soooooooooo comfy. I found my spot, I wonder where Mom & Dad are going to sleep?!
When I woke up, we all went to a park down by Pike's Market so I could exercise my legs a bit. There were so many doggies and I just wanted to love them all!
There's another one!
Here I am with Mommy's phone... to all of you who received late night or early morning phone calls - consider yourselves lucky because I really love you!!
On Sunday, we went down to Pike's Market to spend the day there. There's so much to see, do and eat!
We picked up Starbucks at the original Starbucks built in 1912, got some delicious donuts & then sat down on one of the benches to eat them up! (of course, I didn't want to sit for long - I'm a girl on the move!)
One of the many flower stands at the market
This is the famous fish market. They throw fish around and have a really good time!
There goes a fish!! Can you see it?
Last stop of the day - ice cream! I love ice cream!
That night, we took the monorail over to the Space Needle to find some green grass for me to run around in. Mommy & Daddy quickly learned that I have a 20 minute limit to being strapped in my stroller. I prefer to run!
It was lots of fun and I got to wear a jacket for the first time since Christmas!
Monday, August 29th - HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY! We took my Dad to Sky City which is a restaurant at the very top of the Space Needle. It is 832 steps up from the ground, thank goodness they had an elevator!
We wanted to embarrass my Dad a little so this smoking sundae did the trick!! :) Make a wish!
After lunch I was ready to run so Daddy took Mommy and I to a special place that he knew of & I like what I see!
A huge fountain!! It's called International Fountain and I had so much fun here...
Mommy & Daddy had fun chasing me around too! "Let me go Dad, I can do it!"
Do you know why I walked all the way down here? If you zoom in you may be able to see... yep, another DOGGIE!
After the fountain fountain, we walked (I got pushed) to a sculpture garden down by the water. I liked picking up all the tiny rocks and putting them on the chairs...Back at the hotel - can you see me?!??!?!
Peek-a-boo!
One of the best things about our hotel was that the bathtub was as big as a swimming pool so I went swimming with my Mom every night!
