LegoLand
As I look through the last few day of our California vacation I see that I have quite a few pictures. Rather than have you scroll through this blog entry to see all of them I have put them in a slideshow. It also saves storage space on my blog.
At the end of our day we drove the remaining distance to Anaheim. Next adventure: Day One of Disneyland!
We left San Diego early on Sunday morning to be at LegoLand for its opening. It was such a great choice for Father's Day. James and his Daddy were soon to be in heaven with all of the Legos AND Star Wars themed events and things to see. The weather was also pretty darn perfect- kind of cool in the morning (the better for standing in ride lines, you know) and it warmed up enough to be comfortable by the afternoon.
I hope my Jimmy had a wonderful Father's Day! We love him so much.

Friday Night
I don't know what other people are doing on Friday nights, but we did all this...
Watched golf...
A satisfying dinner...

Tickle Monster
This moment was inspired by a very good book that Tia ChaCha gave to James. It came with its own tickle monster gloves but Daddy is pretty good at doing it without the gloves!

Daddy & the Playground
As nice weather and summer vacation approaches, I keep thinking of the past summers I've had with James.
Our first summer, June 2007, what a cutie!
And when I was watching Jim push James on the swings today, it reminded me of his first time at the playground. I dug up the picture and put them these side by side to see the difference in James. He's our life, our love. He makes our hearts happy!

Where did March go?
I'm behind on blogging again. So rather than do many little posts I'm going to just put all of my favorite pictures from the middle of March to the end below. I'll try and comment on each picture so there's some background, but they are just general cuteness.
James "helped" me make a dessert of pudding, crumbled chocolate chip cookies, and assorted toppings (whipped cream, sprinkles).
He was very serious about his sprinkles.
His Daddy enjoyed a pudding too!
I know James is my child when he shows such enthusiasm for good food. Red grapes are the best!
We're back to enjoying bath time. What a relief!
Waiting for his two stories at bedtime.
Just playin'.
"My Mommy is the best cook!" I made James a mini homemade pizza. He took a few bites, but wasn't too impressed.
We love that James is starting to do chores and understand that he has to help around the house. Here Jim is showing James how to fold towels. He loved it!
"I did it all by myself!"
James left a Batman at Grandma Rose's house so one day we received a package with this note. I love that these are the same squiggly faces that I grew up with. My Mom is famous for her little squiggly faces! "You make my heart happy!" is a James saying. Grandma Rose loved hearing that from her little man!
Playing around the house.
One day James started to pick the flowers from my hibiscus tree. In this picture he was very proud to present me with a flower. I loved it too!
Relaxing.
Before bathtime.
I don't remember why but James is crying for his Daddy in this picture. Jim was out of town, and James was asking for him.
Jersey and hat day at daycare. It occurred to me later that it was probably Twins gear but we weren't the only rebels that day. Lots of kids were in Vikings and Wild gear, not just the Twins (that fit the baseball theme of Open House Night.)
Bounce houses are fun!
James is playing "dead" with Ethan and Russell. I dislike that word coming out of his mouth!
Cute!
James told us he was going to "work" in Daddy's office. We found that he folded all of the washcloths. Yay! Huge praise that day :)
One winter day, James and I went to the playground in our snowpants.
I hate snowpants but it was worth it to see this smile!
And this one.
And his pride in climbing to the top of the climbing wall.
And then we met the other James. Another family was at the playground and we found out that the other James was also four years old!
In the car, going back home, James told me, "Mommy, that boy was James too. He was four years old too. And he's a heartbreaker." Haha. I think James has heard others calling HIM a heartbreaker so many times (because of his beautiful eyes), that maybe he just thinks all James' should be heartbreakers!
Funny- on the potty with goggles!
I took a picture of the day's journal entry. Each day the kids practice their letter or number of the day, and their names.
Meow! Cute artwork that I've promised to Tia Kiki.
There is no such thing as taking too many pictures of my adorable son! I hope this blog entry wasn't too overwhelming.

What's James Doing Now?
James and his Daddy are looking at Lego sets online.
"That Star Wars ship is $260!?!"

A Great Saturday
I love a relaxed morning. I also love a happy, cheerful boy who offers to help make breakfast. James had this idea that he wanted banana and chocolate chip pancake balls. I happen to love that combination so we set to work.
It's too bad James didn't like them :( He prefers the regular chocolate chip pancake balls, so I made him those instead.
We got ready for the day because we had decided to go to the movies!! We saw Tangled, one of the newest Disney movies. I actually loved it. It was a great story, with a great Princess character who didn't wait to be saved by the man. Yay!
We just HAD TO have popcorn, you know.
And then a couple of video games. James picked his Daddy's absolute FAVORITE arcade game. They worked as a team to play Galaga.
Back home for an attempt at naptime (not going so well lately), and I found James with a new outfit on. He didn't have an accident but he changed his pants and put his shirt back on backwards on purpose. I didn't mind. I was glad he didn't have an accident! One naptime last week he had an accident and changed himself, but neglected to put on another pair of underwear. Ooops.
Rough and tumble play with Daddy. They play together like I just can't :)
James has been practicing his name. He was drawing a bunch of pictures for me (love them! I will take pictures later) and later I found his signature on one piece of paper. It was a small piece of paper and I think he ran out of room for the last letter. Nice though, huh?
Finger painting later on that night. Messy.
Intense!
Look Daddy!
