Missing Camera, Missing Croc

Waiting for some Gatorade from Grandma

Oliver had a pretty good day- for some reason who would not sleep at Jan's house. Mama talked to him about it and hopefully he sleeps tomorrow! Afterwards we stopped by Grandma and Bhuta's to get Mama's camera...we visited with Grandma, but missed Bhuta he was napping. Oliver was excited to see his Grandma though!!!

Afterwards we hung out together and went to the library again to get his missing croc that we accidently dropped in the parking lot yesterday. Then we went the Knockout Burgers and ate dinner together. Oliver was really cute there and had a good time eating dinner with his Mama. We came home and he is sleeping now......

Oliver had a fantastic day! He spent the morning helping Mama sweep, mop, and tidy up our nest. Mama filled a squirt bottle with water and Oliver squirted water all over the porch and the back deck! He loves it! After we went to the Y and he had a great time playing with his friends!

After we went to visit with Grandma and Bhuta. Oliver had fun showing Grandma and Bhuta how he uses his squirt bottle- he used it in their shower, outside on the roses, and on his feet! We had a nice time visiting.

Oliver took a wonderful warm nap and woke up to squirt more! Then he went back to Grandma and Bhuta's house with Daddy. They spent the evening there visiting more and eating dinner! Oliver came home tired but he still wanted to squirt more- he did in the bathtub while Mama gave him a quick bath! He is sleeping soundly now with his Daddy right next to him! (The air conditioning is on and Oliver's is the coolest room in the house!)

Another HOT Day

Daddy must have taken this picture in the morning! Cutie

Oliver picked out his shirt!

(Oliver picked the pillar to pose at with Leela, and

look at his legs! Cutie...)

Oliver had a great day, he slept in this morning and let Mama and Daddy sleep even longer!!! We didn't get up until 8:00, wow! Oliver and Mama went to the Y and to the library. Then Oliver got to hang out with Grammie for about 45 minutes while Mama donated blood. Oliver had a great time- then we made our way to a friend's birthday party, but Oliver fell asleep. So Mama dropped off the gift, said some Hellos and then off we drove to our cool air conditioned home!

We hung out at home for awhile and then Daddy took Oliver to the Wild Animal Park! They saw elephants, tigers, a lion on a car- and they took the tram! How fun! Oliver came back excited, but very tired. He feel asleep fast tonite- he is most likely dreaming of tigers and bears!

Playing kitchen with a friend nearby

Oliver had a blast today! He woke up really early and ate his breakfast and played with his Mama. We went to the Y soon after- Oliver loves going to see his friends there! He made a sock puppet there and asked to go back later in the afternoon!

After the Y, Oliver was a scholar again at Mama's school. He did a great job playing in the classroom and then one of the other teacher's son's came (also one of Mama's students) and Oliver had an instant friend to play with! Oliver had tons of fun playing with his buddy- Oliver was supercharged, he was smiling rev'd up that he got to play with a boy all by himself!!! After awhile though- Oliver got tired and we had to leave so he could take his rest.

In the evening we played with Daddy and had fun eating dinner at our house. It was a great day!

Playful Oliver

Playing with Rocco in the morning- he even brushed

Rocco's teeth....
Playing with his new tractor that Daddy picked out
for Oliver at Costco

Oliver had a HOT day! It was pretty hot already in the morning when we left for Jan's! He had a great time at Jan's house despite the heat! Daddy picked up Oliver at Jan's and they stopped to get a treat. Oliver told me he got m&ms. Yummy!

Oliver played at home when we all got home. Oliver had fun putting his train set together and dancing to Travis Tritt's cd. He was pretty cute dancing around the room! After dinner we went to Costco with Daddy. Oliver had fun looking for a trampoline with Daddy and finding a Tractor instead! After we all shared a frozen yogurt together. Then came home to sleep. We put our air conditioner on tonite because our house was so, so hot. We usually get a nice breeze moving through but there is no such thing today! Oliver had fun checking out the vent in his room!

Chocolate Pudding Mustache

Oliver had a wonderful day. He worked with his wheelbarrow again in the morning, then went to Jan's and ate Mickey Mouse waffles and played with his friends. Mama went and picked him up early and brought him back to her school. He worked in the classroom- he "cut" paper with scissors (he really ripped it with the scissors in his hands- he gets the idea!). He had a good time exploring everything.

When we got home we ate dinner on the deck with Daddy and they were digging a hole down below- working on figuring out our septic tank! Oliver had his little cow shovel and his wheelbarrow! What a great day for little man!

Fun Day

Oliver had a great day. He worked hard in the morning playing with his new wheelbarrow he got at the drug store last night! Then he went to Jan's and had a great time with his friends and with Jan- he has fallen into a great routine there! Daddy picked him up and they visited Grandma and Bhuta, then went and ate at Rico's Taco Shop and went to hike, see the ducks and eat pomegranates at San Dieguito Park. (Oliver talked to Mama on the phone and told her that he ate a pomegranate from a tree- he can pronounce it pretty well!!!) They had tons of fun! Mama got to cuddle with Oliver when she got home (Tuesdays will be her late nights at work). Oliver was a little sweetie today!

An Apple for the Teacher (and her boys)

Eating the apple on the rug

Apple cut up

Oliver had a good day. Daddy took him to Jan's in the morning. (Mama had to leave early to get ready for her 1st day with her 1st graders!!!) Oliver had fun at Jan's. He played with his friends, ate grilled cheese for lunch, and was playing with a squirt bottle when I got there. When we got home he played with Daddy and ate pizza for dinner. Then we all shared a special apple that Mama got from one of her students today. Yummo! We all enjoyed it!

After our apple, we went to the book store to read about the alphabet. We made some friends with two little girls and were reading books and playing train with them. Oliver gave them both hugs when we left. He had a great day and is sleeping soundly now!

Happy Birthday Grammie

Oliver had a great day. He woke up really early and hung out with Mama and kissed Daddy goodbye when he left for his early morning fishing trip. Oliver and Mama went to the Y, hung out with Grandma, Bhuta, and Uncle Joey. Uncle Joey wrestled with Oliver- so cute! He came home and took a wonderful nap!

Oliver went to his first Mary Kay party (hopefully his last) he was a very good listener and had fun with his Aunties. Then he ate spaghetti at a restaurant for Grammie's birthday. Uncle Kelly taught Oliver how to wrap the noodles around his fork! They enjoyed sitting next to each other. Oliver then came home to watch more Pinnochio with Daddy and now they are going to sleep in Oliver's Big Boy Room.

(Will post some pictures when I get them from Aunt Jessica. Mama's battery is exhausted- just like Mama!)

Hiking and Climbing

Oliver had a great day, he played with Daddy in the morning and then went to the Y with Mama. We met Danielle and Eileen after exercising and childwatch. Oliver loved eating a snack with Danielle, playing legos, and hiking outside in the cool weather. It was nice seeing our buddies!

Afterwards, Oliver got to hang out with Grammie, while Mama had an appointment, he ate lunch with her and cooked her lots of food with his kitchen set. He also was explaining very complex things to Grammie about garages, firetrucks, and cleaning. Oliver's imagination grows bigger and bigger!!!!

After a wonderful nap, we picked up dinner and ate with Daddy. Then Oliver took a nice bath and started to watch Pinnocchio with Daddy. He has a wonderful day!

Oliver had a fantastic day! He ran into Jan's house again in the morning, excited to start his routine! He had a great time there! When Mama picked him up he was happy to see Mama and play. We picked up some teaching stuff at Grammie's house- he played with his kitchen set and made Mama eggs. He also missed seeing Grammie but he said she was on an airplane! After that we went to Mama's classroom. He got to see Mama's partner Amanda and the Kindergarten teacher, Jaime. He had fun playing in the gym and on the long bench outside.

After leaving Mama's school we went to visit with Mama's old friend, Susan. Oliver had so much fun playing in her front yard, meeting Susan's Mama Kay, watching the hot air balloons rise above Susan's neighborhood, and playing in her house. We had so much catching up to do we stayed pretty late and Oliver fell asleep on the way home. He had a great day seeing lots of people and getting lots of love!

Evening with Daddy

Found Oliver sleeping on the floor....Must have been

cuddling with Daddy...

Oliver had a great day! He woke up in a better mood! (maybe because he knows its Uncle Joey's birthday!!!), hung out with Mama and Daddy, and then went to Jan's house. He was so excited to start his day at Jan's that he ran through her garage without hugging Mama goodbye. He came back when Mama asked for a hug and then off he went to sit at the little table and eat breakfast. As Mama drove away, she could see the back of Oliver's head- patiently waiting for breakfast. (Mama's heart was in her lap.....)

Daddy picked Oliver up and spent they spent the evening together- while Mama had a meeting at work. They picked up Ricos and ate dinner with Grandma and visited with Bhuta. Then they went to the San Dieguito Park again and played on the bridges, toy structures, hiked around. They didn't get home until 8:00!!! Wow- they had fun! Oliver and Daddy were passed out when Mama got home at 9:00. Cutie patooties!!!!

****Oliver said the cutest thing ever this morning! We have 2 kinds of string cheese- cheddar and colby jack. I told Oliver a couple days ago that we will call one yellow and the other mix- or he can call it the real name- colby jack. That was that- we didn't talk about it anymore. This morning in the car I gave him a yellow cheese and he said, "I want Colby Jackson (instead)!" So funny, because his buddy at Jan's name is Jackson! I love how they merged together. Oliver has a great memory!*****

Pizza Night

Oliver tossing his napkins off the balcony- Not a good idea....
Can you tell Mike got to pick out the toppings?


Boys watching Sesame Street

Oliver had a great day. He woke up in the morning and hung out with Mama and Daddy. He was a bit of a fuss bucket, but we got through it. He hung out at Jan's house and had a great time with his friends. Jan said he even tried to sit on the potty 3 times!!! Yay, Oliver!!!

In the evening, Daddy had dinner "ready" when we got home. He ordered our 1st pizza to be delivered to our new house. Yum-Yum. We all enjoyed it, even Ranger. Afterwards the boys took a bath together and then watched some Sesame Street. Oliver is sleeping soundly now, and so is his Daddy.

Ducks with Daddy

Encouraging Mama to walk down the driveway

(She is slow- really sore from running yesterday)
Off he goes down the driveway...

Oliver had a fantastic day. He woke up in a great mood and cuddled with Mama and ate a little bowl of cereal. Then Daddy took him to Jan's house. Oliver had a great time there! He can name almost all of his new buddies. Daddy picked him up too and afterwards they went to the San Dieguito Park where Oliver had his 1st birthday party last year. They hiked around and played with the duckies by the pond.

When Mama got home we all had dinner together- Oliver told Mama all about his day and then they walked to the mailbox together. It was a nice walk- the air was cool and fresh, and Oliver attempted to put the key in the mailbox on his own. So cute! Nice Monday!

Oliver had a fun day. He woke up and headed for San Diego with Daddy. They came to watch Mama finish the America's Finest City 1/2 Marathon! When Mama passes them in the Prado, Oliver was going peepee in the bushes. Pretty funny site! Afterwards we got ready and headed over to Bhuta and Grandma's. We celebrated Uncle Joey's birthday a little early! It was a lot of fun and Bhuta was being silly in his goofy nose/hairy eyebrow glasses. Oliver also had Mr. Potato glasses that he was acting silly in too! We had a nice time with everyone!

We came home and rested. Then for dinner we went to a nice restaurant with Daddy and then too the book store. We had a nice time together as a family today.

Oliver had a good day. In the morning he went to get doughnuts with Daddy. He came back with a chocolaty shirt and he told Mama he had a purple doughnut. After we went to the Y, he had a great time at Childwatch and he brought home some artwork. Afterwards he got a snack at 7-11 instead of the lobby because we met Daddy there! Oliver then went with Daddy to see Grandma and Bhuta. He had a good time there playing tiger, eating strawberries, and blowing kisses. He slept for awhile then played with Daddy while Mama worked in her classroom.

Later he helped Mama grocery shop and he rode in the blue car cart. Then we went to Chuck E. Cheese with Daddy! We got yummy food and then we all played games. Oliver handed over his tickets for his prizes, it was like he had done it before....oh wait he has.....a few times!!!

Nice day, nice night.
