Family Fiesta

After an awesome parent-free week with Gramalicia, Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Christian, we're all back together. Better yet, the Giants have made it to the World Series! We celebrated with some tasty Mexican food.

Shopping Buddy

Hooray! Gramalicia is in town, and I can take her to all my favorite stores. She's much better at shopping than Mommy!

1906 Shift

This fence goes across the San Andreas fault. Before the 1906 quake, it was one straight line. Daddy and I would have been standing right next to each other back then!

3rd Grade Camping Trip

A bunch of families from Jefferson went to Olema Campground this weekend. We built a bridge across the creek, stayed up late, rode bikes and played with fire. Pretty cool!

Happy Birthday Monkey!

It's really fun to celebrate with an old friend. I like that we celebrate the same way we do with people! Because we still have a cake and friends. I help Monkey blow out his candle.

San Diego Sunshine

I had a quick visit with Emma, Nonie & Doc while my parents were busy running an event in LA. We went to the beach and ate home grown watermelon. I even brought home a pumpkin from Doc's pumpkin patch!

Sew, Sew, Sew

I like to sew. It's my biggest project so far, with 3 different types of stitches. I sure hope it turns out as well as the picture on the box!

Here's the finished product. It's really cute and the blanket folds to be the rug!

Going Whole Hog

Emma J. and I went to a fun BBQ party where our friend Nick roasted a whole pig, Cuban style. It was pretty awesome looking, and it tasted delicious!

Keeping it Cool in Cars Land

We don't have time to smile for pictures, we just ride roller coasters!

Augtoberfest present

We had an AUGtoberfest for my birthday party. We had lemonade tasting for the children and beer tasting for the adults, and we all wore drinking hats! This is a Lego Friends Jungle item that I got from my friend Josie. You can slide the door to reveal a hidden waterfall room!

Parking Lot Selfie

For the Outside Lands Festival in Golden Gate Park, we turned the school playground into a parking lot! We raised almost $6000 for the school this weekend. Wow!

Gold Stampeders

While it was fun and really beautiful, I'm pretty sure Nonie, Doc and Gramalicia are glad they skipped hiking the Chilkoot Pass Trail in Skagway...

Puppies

We toured Happy Trails Kennel in Wasilla and met Martin Buser and his champion Iditarod sled dogs. I got to hold a four-day-old puppy. I named him Milky. Doc gave Emma and me our own sled dog stuffies to take home, too!

Super Team Awesome, GO!

Our trip to Alaska is going great so far. We decided to name our group "Super Team Awesome, GO!" or STAG for short. We've seen Denali's peak, plus bears, moose, caribou and more.

Brick, Brick, Brick

Everything is bricks in Maine! Well, almost everything. We came to Portland prepared for lobster and blueberries. Score! I ate lobster and blueberry pie in the same night. 

And then I had blueberry pancakes for breakfast!
