Play date at BF Aaron's house

Mattie demonstrated for us again that she is still the "big winner" while throwing the Gordy's tupperware all over the living room...
Then she decided to tickle Aaron's feet because she likes when he smiles so much ;)
Mattie got a Burberry bathing suit for her birthday so she had to model it for us before we headed over to the pool... Is that not the cutest little tush you have ever seen?!
Here is Mattie playing in the pool w/ daddy :)

Memorial Day 2008




We had a great time at the Long Beach Bay for the holiday with our friends! It started off cool and cloudy, but ended up sunny and warmer... Mattie even got in the water in her clothes (while her bathing suit sat in the diaper bag)! I think she got her patriotic onesie wet just so she could change into her "Juicy" cover-up and show off her cuteness ;)

Good Ol' Irvine Park...

Irvine Park never fails to be a fun place to spend the afternoon! We rode the train... again...
And Mattie got to touch a real, live horse for the first time! Then we walked around and Mattie "ruff ruffed" to all the horses, dogs, and ducks we saw... Time to learn some new animal sounds Miss Mattie!

Play date w/ out-of-town friends!



Sylvie invited Mattie over for a play date with their friends from Colorado, Will and Mollie... Will and Mollie are actually from the OC, but moved away to CO, and we are all hoping they will move back to CA soon! Mattie especially wants Mollie to move back because she loves Mollie's pushing skills, she got to ride all over the living room while Mollie pushed her super fast!

Our silly Mattie...

This has to be one of the funniest things I have ever seen...On Saturday Mattie kept throwing her food on the floor, she wasn't really into eating it for whatever reason... Her BFF Tatum decided to pick it up off the floor and offer it to her and what do ya know, Mattie gobbled it right up out of Tatum's hand, like she was animal being fed at the petting zoo! I couldn't get a pic of the actual occurence, but here Mattie is grabbing Tatum's hand hoping for more veggies and black beans ;)
And on Sunday, Mattie showed us her new talent... balancing two balls at once... she carried these balls all around and when they would fall, she would find a way once more to hold them both again, using just about her whole body and face ;)

Mattie's 1st Birthday Party!

What an eventful day! Mattie's favorite part of the day was playing on the big kid playground, luckily, Calista was there to show her the ropes and play big sis to her....
Here she eagerly awaits her own personal birthday cake that grandma made for her, while we all sing the birthday song...
Then she digs in... actually she tryed to shove the whole thing in her mouth... apparently she has a sweet tooth like her mommy and daddy...
As the party wraps up and everyone is leaving, Mattie is still rearing to go... The energy must have come from the cake that grandma kept feeding her after mommy got her all cleaned up and took away the sugar :)

Playing with cousin Ryan!

Grandma and Grandpa took us to Irvine Park to see the animals and ride the train! We really liked the friendly goat who is trying out for America's Next Top Model ;)
Then we decided to play in the bath together because Ryan was tired of being called "stinky mcstinkerson"... and of course the parents had to take pictures of us in the buff! Aren't we so stinkin' cute?!

Pro Golf in her future?


Daddy is already grooming Mattie to be on the PGA so we can retire early... He even let her play with his new golf clubs!
