Legoland & The Beach!!!

Wednesday evening we went out to eat BBQ and Ollie really liked the pig in theh front of the restaurant.

Thursday morning we headed to towards San Diego to Legoland!! When we first got into miniland there was a huge lego city of Las Vegas! We took this picture especially for Papa!

They also had a New York City area. Very cool!
Star Wars!!!

They had legos to play with while you waited in the lines for the rides!

Ollie spent a long time in the huge climber!

An Xbox 360 room!!!

A place to build your own bionicle hero!

Maw Maw & Papa Stu bought Ollie a really nice set of the brand new Batman Legos! This will take awhile to put together!

Friday morning we went to Huntington Beach! Ollie spent 2 hours playing in the sand and had a great time. Then we went to lunch at a Mexican restaurant overlooking the beach and walked through a farmer's market.

It took us 2 hours to get home and Ollie fell asleep in the car and went in straight to bed. I hope he wakes up soon so he will sleep tonight!

Valentine's Weekend!

Saturday morning Ollie had a basketball game. What a great game! Papa & Grandma Pati came out to watch and Aunt Erin & Uncle Kevin came too! Ollie had quite the cheering section. They were either winning or the game was tied I think they won the game! Ollie even shot for a basket. The ball went in and then bounced back out! Oh well maybe next time. I was so proud of him and I am glad that everyone else got to see him play too!

I was off work on Monday for Lincoln Day but Ivy's babysitter was out of town so we had an Ivy & Aunt Jen day! I gave her a Valentine since I would not see her the next day. She liked her candies and bracelets and Dora case!

Mickey Mouse came on while we were cleaning up the playroom and she was in a trance. She sat in that chair holding those balloons for 45 min while I ran around and cleaned up the house as fast as I could.

Valentine's Day! We woke up and got ready for school. Ollie got his Valentine from Mommy & Daddy and got the Green Lantern game for his DS. He was so excited!

When I got to work I had to make a dentist appt for Ollie because his gums were hurting again. We got in at 9:30 and he had to have his tooth pulled. He lost his first baby tooth. We hung out at home for about an hour waiting for the tooth to stop bleeding then I took him to lunch and then back to school. When I got back to work flowers were delivered to me! Chris bought me flowers for Valentine's Day. His card said "I finally got you Roses!" They are beautiful and he got me 2 dozen!!!

Right after work we went home to get our luggage and Chris drove me & Ollie to the airport for our trip to see Maw Maw & Papa Stu! We made it to there house about quarter till 11pm so it was a late night but we still had to make time to check out Ollie's valentine from Maw Maw & Papa Stu!

Time for a story and then bed.

Thank goodness the tooth fairy came right after Ollie fell asleep because he was awak at 5:30am to see if he had any money in his tooth pillow! He got $1.50!!!

Grandma Pati's 60th Birthday!!!

Yesterday was Grandma Pati's 60th birthday! We started off by going to Ollie's first basketball game. He did well. He played the whole game. His team got creamed but that is besides the point! Look at those skinny little legs and those big new basketball shoes!

Ollie is #6.

We headed to IL for Grandma Pati's birthday party at Ravanelli's. They had awesome food and check out that cake. It was very pretty!!

Ivy kept herself busy by putting things in her daddy's shirt pocket and then taking them out and starting all over again!

Papa let Ollie play Angry Birds on his phone. Thank goodness because Ollie's DS was dead!

Time for presents!

Uncle Chris must have done something funny!

All the kids got a balloon! One drifted up to the ceiling without it's ribbon and Chris was getting creative to get it down. He was trying to shoot a toothpick through a straw to see if he could pop it. He hit the balloon several times but it would not pop. Thank goodness he stopped before he shot someone's eye out!

Happy Birthday to you - Grandma Pati!!!

January Birthdays!

Last Thursday was Erin's birthday. Papa & Grandma Pati came over and we all went out to eat at El Maguey with John & Paula. Ivy was having an apple for a snack before dinner!

The Magic Man Bruce was there! Ollie just loves it when the magician is there!

I think Ivy likes him too or maybe she just spotted her Grammy?

Time for presents!

Saturday evening we headed to Aunt Teresa's for the January birthday celebrations. Ollie had a good time with Liam!

Here's the birthday crew!

Monday evening we picked up Ivy because Erin had a swimmeet. Ollie & Ivy had a good time playing with cars. There were cars all over my living room!
