Super Social Saturday

You would think after 2 birthday parties and a lot of sugar, I would be exhausted and not ready for any more socializing. NOT! This afternoon, we went over to Rebecca, Isabella and James' house for an impromptu barbecue, trampoline jumping and harmonica playing. I finally crashed tonight at 7:30 with little warning.

Girl Serenades (and Chokes) Boy

First, I learned how to play the harmonica tonight. It took a little practice, but I think I have mastered it....then I tried to serenade sweet James

Birthday Party #1 - Jurassic Party for Connor

This morning, we went to Connor's 5th birthday party at Jurassic Party Adventures in Orange County. I fell asleep 10 minutes before the party started and missed the first part of touching and petting the various "prehistoric pets". Once I woke up, I LOVED the animals, though I preferred to look at them through the glass window...

Mama reconnected with many of her friends who she originally met because they shared a tough journey to their children. Here is Sinead and her daughter, Katie...

Here is Katie sharing a chair with Amanda...

These sweet twins are only 3 months old and are Amanda's brother and sister.

And, here is Xavi's gorgeous sister, Ivy

One of my boyfriend's, Mason....he never pulled this trick on me before.

First Friday - June

Last night, we went to First Fridays on Abbott Kinney. We started at Tales and Toys, the toy store that usually has some form of entertainment for kids, but they had a make your own sundae! I had a little ice cream and played a bunch. We then went in search of dinner and bumped into Elle and Mason on the sidewalk eating pizza. I stopped and shared some snacks with them until we continued on our way. Never did find dinner....Chez Allen tonight!

Reading Video from February

Mommy found this video in going through Nanny G's pictures/videos from her camera. Thought you might enjoy.

Facials and More

Last night, I gave Mama and Grandma facials (pronounced "fatels"). I used the cream in a tiny bottle from a hotel Mama stayed at and kept getting little dabs of cream. I wouldn't let either of my "clients" leave the couch until I was done with their facial.

Grandma called for Daddy who was upstairs, saying "Allen". Then, I started calling for Daddy "Ayen.....Ayen".

For the "last supper" (last night Grandma and Grandpa were here), we had ribs, cole slaw and potatoes. I ate mostly ribs, a little slaw and no potato. Just not the carbo-loving kid my Mama is/was....pictures to follow when Mama can find the camera.

Gigi's Farmers Market and "Real" Horseriding

Today, we went to "my" Farmers Market ("Gigi's Farmers Market) in the Americana in Glendale. The market had some yummy delights and beautiful produce.

Unfortunately, I slept through our visit to the market...so I can't tell you much about it.

What I can tell you about is my visit to the horses in Griffith Park. What's crazy is that after my 2 hour nap through the Farmers Market and a visit to Starbucks, I woke up and shortly thereafter said "horsies". No one, not anyone, specifically said to me that we were going to the horses. Grandma said that Mama might have talked about it to the adults (but not me) earlier in the morning when discussing what we were doing....so either during my dreamy nap, my subconscious was listening or, I actually remembered Mommy mentioning something in the morning.

As you can see, this is the "real" horsey ride. None of the pony ride around in a circle. I was actually riding a horse all by myself and I LOVED it.

Can you tell?

Rounding the corner for a first place finish

Then, we went to the Artisan Cheese Gallery in Studio City for lunch and I was feeding Daddy some of his salad. I had some yummy Asparagus Soup and bread. Delicious end to a fun day.
