Civilized vs. Uncivilized Eating

A month can't go by without some good eating pictures.

"I'm a classy, civilized eater!  Don't mind the rice in my hair and on my arm."



"What?!?  It's just a little cream cheese!  Do I look good with facial hair?"

You can decide which one is the real Moses.

Goodbye Disneyland!

Our Disneyland passes are blacked out for the summer, so we decided we needed to see the fireworks one more time.  We got a late start, so Moses only got to ride "It's a Small World" and the carousel.    

"I'm getting a little sleepy!  When are these fireworks going to start?"

Out like a light and the fireworks were to start in 20 minutes.  We decided to walk towards the tram to the parking garage and hope that the fireworks would wake up our little man.

"I'm up but still TIRED!  These fireworks better be worth it."

"WOW!  I love booms!"

"But I'm just way too sleepy!"

Goodbye Disneyland!  We'll see you in August for the big 2 birthday!

Legoland...Big Boy Style

As a toddler, Moses has become quite the monkey.  So needless to say, he has outgrown the little play area at Legoland and has moved onto the bigger play area.

"Yeah, I'm gonna climb this rope ladder all by myself."



"Watch me cross this super high rope bridge while dodging huge blue obstacles."

Moses went down the steep slide all by himself.  In the past, he would just sit up at the top and not move.  He definitely has grown up a lot!

"I'm driving a boat!"

Legoland has become a whole new park for our little monkey!

Toddler 1's Graduation

June 8th was the last day of Toddler 1's.  It was a great school year and Moses learned and grew so much.  Ayla came over that morning because her Mommy had to work, so the two monkeys got to play around. 

Best buds.....for this picture, at least.

Moses chowing down on some fruit for his last snack as a Toddler 1.

"I'm gonna miss this big scooper truck!"

The best part was the last goodbye kiss from the puppet.

Bring on Toddler 2's!

Vegas Baby!

On the first weekend of June, Daddy had to be in Vegas for work, so we decided to make a family trip out of it.  Since Daddy had to work during the day, we went to meet a friend from college and her daughter at the park.  

Moses had a great time playing in the spray grounds. 



However, the heat got to him, so he wanted to play in the car with the a/c on.

On our last day, Daddy had to work, so we went to the Lied Children's Museum.  It was a really fun place and Moses got to work right away.

"Don't bother me, I'm working!"

"It's hard work, but I'm the man for the job!"

Moses's favorite thing was working the pulley system.  It would move blocks up to the top and drop them out of a chute by turning the huge wheel.

"Look at the blocks go up...up...up!"

"I'm trying to turn the wheel faster!"

"Yeah!  I did it!"

The water table was also a huge hit.

"I LOVE WATER!"

"Check out that cool tornado!"

"UHM....not sure if I'm suppose to be in with the balls."

"GOODBYE VEGAS! Whatever happened here, stays here....right?"

It's a Hard Day's Night.....Strawberry Picking!

As one of the last outings for Moses's Toddler 1 class, they went strawberry picking. 

Moses was quite the strawberry picker.

"I have to try one to make sure they are good enough to pick."

"I'm on a break, so I can enjoy another strawberry!"

After a hard day (or more like 30 minutes) of strawberry picking, the troops enjoyed some more delicious strawberries!

"Here's my bucket to prove how hard I worked!"

Notice that the bucket isn't completely full.  Moses enjoyed a few too many strawberries on the job.

Oodles of Noodles

Moses is quite the eater.  However, when it comes to noodles, it becomes something quite different.  Let's just say it's easier to strip the crazy monkey to his skivvies. 

"I'm saving the noodles on my chest for later."

"What?!  I'm just enjoying my dinner!"

"Would you like some noodles?  I have plenty!"

"YEAH!!  I LOVE NOODLES!"

And this is the damage.  Do you think he got any noodles in his mouth?
