Monkey and Sheep

You love your "Daddy Monkey" and "Mama Sheep". You take them to the doctor, put them to sleep and love taking pictures with them. I often get to be the voice of one, while you do the other.

Brittany's Babysitting Service

Tonight Brittany came over to babysit you while we went to the mall. Mommy wasn't feeling 100% so our more fancy plans got changed to walking around Victoria Gardens. Brittany even french braided your hair! I can hardly get you to sit still for some migtails from me.

Happy 1/2 birthday Genevieve!

 

From Grandma.... 

 

Today we went with Brooklyn, Gage, and Brenda to Knott's Berry Farm. You had a good time playing with Brooklyn in the backseat as we drove to Buena Park. It wasn't crowded at all at Knott's Berry Farm and we got to go on all the rides without waiting in lines. We spent most of our time in Camp Snoopy. There were a few rides that you were too short to go on and Brooklyn (who is six months older) was able to go on. You didn't complain however.You waited with me while Brooklyn had her fun. Brooklyn likes to be little mother sometimes and she told you to stand in front of the sign to see if you were tall enough to go on the ride. She said, "You're good." and took your hand to go on the airplane ride. 

 

In Camp Snoopy there was a camp bus ride that went around in circles, a spinning ride, a truck ride, a bouncer, a race car ride, and a hot air balloon ride. You were great with all of them and had lots of fun. The race cars and the airplanes were your favorites.You didn't like the Calico Mine ride too much. It was dark in places. After that we went on the train and you kept asking me "Is there a cave?" I assured you there were no caves on the train ride and you were happy. We had lunch in the birthday section of the Camp Snoopy restaurant. We sang happy birthday to all of you. I had forgotten it was your 2 1/2 birthday, but you did get your song anyway.

Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Linus, and Lucy were there. At first you were too afraid to get close, but at the end you gave Snoopy a big hug. We also got to see all of them in a show at Camp Snoopy. 

 

We went on the stage coach and got to sit on top with the driver. You were hoping for the horses to go poop, but unfortunately they didn't cooperate.

 

After a day of rides, food, and fun we headed home when the park closed at 6:00. You, Brooklyn and Gage fell asleep all the way home. You slept though the night for your mom and dad too. What a good girl!

Colored Jeans

You are in with all the hip trends Genevieve. Grandma got you these very fashionable colored jeans to wear. You were all shades red today, red shoes, magenta jeans, and purple top.

Cookbooks

Mommy had the cookbook out and you wanted to look through to find a cookie recipe (go figure!). This is the same cookbook Grandma has that I grew up eating food out of. I found a copy at a yard sale and use it to make recipes here at home now. It is amazing for even 30 years can change so many ingirendts for the same food (butter vs. vegetable oil).

Doing the dishes

Tonight you loaded all your ducks in the sink, turned on the water and came out and told us you were going to do your dishes. We came into the bathroom and found this! You washed all the ducks and dried them with a towel. I promise you came up with this game on your own!

Long Beach Aquarium and Queen Mary

We spent the night on the Queen Mary. We enjoyed staying in such first class accommodations and a good nights sleep! You mean while spent the night with Aunt Teresa and Uncle Scott. They brought you down to the Long Beach Aquarium to meet us in the morning. It was a fun place to check out the fish, the penguins and turtles. You enjoyed us taking the bus back to the Queen Mary after it was done as well. You love riding on buses and trains.
