Again Mommy, again...Whee this is fun! 

Great Aunt Vicki came to visit...Maddie had so much fun with her...especially at Talbot's Toy Town.... 

One of Maddie's Favorite Bday gifts was from Violeta. Dan is sooo happy to have a basketball fan/star in the making! 

Maddie turned two last Saturday and her Tea Party was quite a fete--enjoyed by 2 year olds and those much much older...long island iced teas and cabernet proved to be the drinks of the day rather than tea.... 

The famous perfect endings Cake. Dan was right, it was worth the am drive to Napa to pick it up! 

The tent that we got because of all the rain we have had in SF...and then it didn't really rain on the party....

Maddie turned two today if you can't tell from her Dora sticker and her great sunglasses. She got a all star report from the doctor, she weighs a whopping 31 1/2 pounds, and is 35 1/2 inches tall! She even got to feed Dr. Piel's fish because she was such a good patient. 

Mommy and Maddie made a snowman....with really long arms! 

Maddie and a big snow ball...this sure is cold! 

Wow Unka Greg--its sure is fun to sit on this tree branch--thanks for putting it right in your front yard.... 

Uh-OH The Oak Tree Comes Down--Tia and Unka Greg have a new landscaping plan at Chester Way....
 

Crazy Weather Weekend, but still had Fun in Santa Barbara
We usually go to SB to get some sun and sand, and this weekend it was more like Snow and Sand. In one weird day Maddie and Juliette managed to play in the sandbox, run on the beach and play in the snow....I am attaching the photos of Sandbox and Beach (by the way Maddie is sort of scared of the ocean...) but we will have to wait for Auntie Di to send the photos of the snow to us....

But Daddy it is so much easier if you just push the ball through the wicket instead of using the mallet! 

Daddy teaching Maddie the finer points of croquet.... 

Hands in the air girls, and wave them like you just don't care! 

Run away from the ocean--I repeat run away from the ocean. I guess we'll have to work on this in Hawaii next month! 

Birthday Party Palozooa
Well its been WAY too long since our last post, but mommy and daddy went to NY and then mommy got sick and then I got my first ear infection and I have had to take YUKCY medicine for 10 days, to everyone is just a little bit busy and we haven't done anything fun since Nana and Pop Pop Bailey left in February! So here is my first cute outing in a long time...Wyatt's birthday party...and boy did I like the cupcakes (or really just the frosting....) It was Birthday Party weekend with fun at Luke;s house, Aidan's house and then gymnastics with Wyatt. I can't wait for my own party in 3 weeks!
