Home

Mommy picked up Oliver a little early today so we could make it to the Lake before it turned dark.  Lake time is important to us.  We had fun walking to the lake, swinging on the swing, and talking about animals!

Happy Sunday!

He wanted to check out the sign!  


Walking down the path.

Swinging!




On our hike we took two different paths...


Mommy was worried for a second....
(where is he?)  Oh, look straight ahead
he is that little speck on the trail.
Phew!

Telling Mommy about some kind of animal.


Happy Sunday!
Back to school tomorrow!

Frog

Oliver came home for a little bit today so Mommy could watch him!  He brought his Fire Belly Toad that he bought at his Daddy's house with his allowance!  We had a fun day together and he enjoyed sharing his toad!

Oliver is off now and Mommy will see him Sunday at 5:00.  

Proud toad owner.

Belly!

Can you see the toad?



(Happy Friday!)

Donut Wednesday

Oliver had a really good nights sleep, he fell asleep last night at 7:15 and woke up around 7:20 this morning!  Yippie!  He woke up in a really good mood, had some donuts for breakfast and played nicely with the daycare toddlers!  They are all toddlers right now, so Mommy needs to change that name!  

Oliver is off with his Daddy now and Mommy will see her fun 5 year old on Sunday at 5:00!  She misses him already! 


Donut Wednesday!
The Donut Shop opens back up on the 4th!

Yum!

Oliver's donuts



(Insert picture of Mommy's Coffee here. 
 Make it hot and tasty please.)




Yums!  He got to take the rest of the
box with him, he was kind of possessive
of his donuts this morning.  They must 
have been really good!

Maggie our neighbor came over to "babysit" with
a friend, Sophie.  They helped us for 3 hours!
Mommy likes how Maggie calls and asks if she 
can come babysit.  Mommy doesn't have to pay
her though, its really sweet.

Maggie made headpieces for Oliver and another toddler!

Oliver likes having our neighbor over!

New Year's Day

We had a really, really nice New Year's Day!  Happy 2013!!!

The beautiful New Year's Morning Sky when Mommy
went for her run and Oliver was cozy in bed!

Mommy finished her run and picked up 
Oliver for a New Year's Breakfast at our
favorite coffee shop in La Costa!

Mommy spotted some really amazing
artwork on the wall!  One of the barista's
drew it, the medium she chose: Black Sharpie.

Can you tell what really caught Mommy's attention?
One of the barista's names is "Meredith."
(Mommy likes her name!)  

After we fueled our bodies, we picked up Grammie,
and went to the High School to do some exercises!


We all fit through the gate!


And were off to play!

Oliver did a lap and ran around a bunch of
other areas like crazy!

Mommy did a bunch of stairs and stretches.


Grammie walked a mile around the track!
Wahoo!  Keep it up Grammie!

They sat in the special seats while Mommy finished.
Well, Oliver sat for a second!

Then we played tennis!  Kind of.


We hit the ball against the wall!

And tried to encourage Oliver to hit the balls we
tossed at him with his racquet.  Practice, practice, practice!
We will be back!


We came home and were lazy for a little bit...then
we went for our milk walk.  The late afternoon
New Year's sky was so pretty!

Our milk store was closed!  We solved our problem
by going across the street to Vons.  But first Oliver wanted
to check out the "Missing Dog" sign!  We will look out
for it on our walks!


Happy New Year!!!

January

Mommy would like to share our calendars for January!  She likes Masha D'yans and the Live with Intention calendars so much!



"Dwell in Possibility."  -Emily Dickinson.
(Mommy would like to turn her dreams into possibility.
Does that make sense?)


Home.
