What a week!

After daddy was busy studying for the LSAT for 3 weeks, he was finally able to assemble Mattie's new rocking horse, and it was a hit!
Bubbles are always a hit as well... Here Mattie is enjoying the bubbles at Auntie Lee's Baby Shower... unfortunately the batteries died in the camera before I could get some photos of Mattie w/ her friends Tatum and Sylvie, who attended the party as well. And yes, it was approximately 96 degrees outside in this photo at 5:30PM!
Sunday was mommy and daddy's 6 year wedding anniversary. To celebrate the occasion Mattie got to ride the carosel at Fashion Island w/ daddy, while mommy melted w/ the camera, because yes, it was in the 90's again....

Happy Fathers Day to Daddys everywhere!

Is it possible to not crack up when you see Mattie in these sunglasses?! She even makes herself laugh! Daddy doesn't look too unhappy himself either!

Gift Day at Grandmas house!

When we arrived at grandmas for a pool day, grandma surprised Mattie with three new presents! She shows off all of them (sunglasses, a cow, a cup) while dancing here!

Sylvie's First Birthday Party

Mattie got to face forward in her carseat for the first time on the way to Sylvie's party... as you can see, she was quite happy with the new arrangement...
Sylvie got a home made cake with blueberries on it for her birthday! What a lucky girl, every big girl loves blueberries!
Mattie and Sylvie ended the day digging around in the ice cold drink buckets... apparently, baby hands are immune to freezing cold water and ice and can handle the cold for at least 10 minutes :)

What Mattie does with her spare time...

When mom goes stir crazy in the house and daddy is studying for the LSAT (Sunday), Mattie gets to go to the park... this park is particularly fun because it has a play area where water shoots out from the wall and up from the ground so the kids can get all wet!
When mom isn't looking and Mattie's bedroom door is left open (Monday), this is what she does. Some may say she is going to be a clothing designer, I say she is a mischief maker! She opens up the bottom two drawers and takes EVERYTHING out and throws it all over her room! Needless to say, her bedroom door is closed most of the time now because I am tired of putting clothes and shoes away numerous times each day...
When mommy's bedroom door is left open (Tuesday), Mattie heads straight for the CD racks. Here she has emptied out the wood one on the right and is now moving on to the metal one of the left. Last week it was the photo albums that she chucked all over the floor, I wonder what it will be next week?... I think I need a margarita...

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 ;)
