IOU an Overload Dude

Hi. Welp. Time has passed by. No, not passed, soared! Whoosh.

Found some old pictures...

IMG_5881

Me and Aunty Keri- she makes me laugh and really knows what I like... lipstick!

IMG_6172

Poppie and I. Dude, look at my hair!

Found this picture of Cousin Jahren and I. Love it, had to share.

Here's Super Helper Me. I'm blow drying Ma's hair before she goes to work.

IMG_3943

Ma shows off her belly at week 25- she belly bangs me in this picture, it was hilarious.

I shall travel back in time and allow my pictures narrate what has been up with me.

Here's me playing with my own metropolis.

Fast asleep in my carseat when riding Aunty Cat's red van (it rocks like a boat).

Mom loves this picture, she says my hair is all over the place and that I AM her lucky charm.

This is what a toddler looks like when watching TV. You can tell that the brain cells are dying by the seconds. Fizz.

I wanted to help feed Zeus healthy food. I shared her my pomegranate seeds. Mom took it out before Zeus got to see my generosity :(

At my school there was a special Grandparents day. Grandma came, Aunty Cat too. Mom and Dad quickly popped for short before they had to run back to teach.

IMG_6252

Daddy and Aunty Cat helping me make my masterpiece with glue and whatever else.

IMG_6257

I had my face painted too :)

But the real fun part was, dying eggs with Grandma and Poppie.

IMG_6268

Poppie and I.

IMG_6272

I'm serious when I want to be and this is one of my sincerest moments.

IMG_6279

After dying eggs, we went outside to the backyard and drew on the ground with chalk. Poppie sure draws good!

IMG_6282

Watching Poppie drawing.

IMG_6286

Not only he drew, he did graffiti too!

The next morning we came early and hunted for eggs. I got a lot of candies AND new cars!!

Then we went to Lake Tahoe, it was a beautiful stay. There were snow, mountains and warm weather to boot. We stayed for 3 days.

IMG_3952

We rode a tram up the mountain to elevation 9500 feet into a ski resort called Heavenly Resort. It was a lovely and fun ride up and down.

IMG_3953

Up and up we went.

IMG_3973

The view we saw at our first stop.

IMG_3990

Us three.

IMG_3994

We rode all the way up for 17 minutes to reach to the middle of the resort, the final destination of the tram we rode. It was HUGE, I tell ya.

IMG_3996

Everyone was skiing, snowshoeing, walking, laughing, falling, sledding and generally basking in snow.

IMG_4017

After coming down from the mountains, Ma and Pa surprised me with ICE CREAM! I had coffee and cotton candy flavour mixed together. It was fabulous. Mom and I had to fight for the last bite (she won, she's pregnant so hands down, she's the queen).

Week 26 elk

Here's us at Mom's week 26 shot- she popped didn't she? I mean, lookit, you can barely see me!

DSC_0006

Large picture I know but too nice to be downsized. Here's Ma and me few days ago.
DSC_0010

Looking at Aunty Cat because she was laughing. I took the picture of us with the timer :)

DSC_0011

Love this picture because you can see how identical Aunty Cat and Ma are- they both are wearing blue sweater, brown pants and even, similar color undies- totally UNplanned.



Trying to pull my pants up with the drawstring, it proved difficult.

Okay, I think I'm done wearing myself out!

Last Saturday we went to Livermore to look at houses and just basically hang out there. During lunch, we ate pizza and then had Bay Area's best ice cream called "It's It". It's an ice cream sandwich- oatmeal cookies squeezing vanilla ice cream and the whole thing is covered in milk chocolate. It's blissfully perfect.

IMG_4053

Yum!

IMG_4059

Messy but toooo darn good.

We had a birthday party for Daddy at Coyote Hills. Grandma, Poppie, Aunty Cat, Uncle Kurt, Cousins Mally and Jahren, Mom, Dad and I (Jazzy too) were there. It was VERY hot! We all had hats (except Ma!!) and had a mellow picnic with a delicious cake. I love birthdays.

DSC_0012

I went on a brief hike with Uncle Kurt and my Cousins.

DSC_0004

Trying on Grandma's hat.

DSC_0053

I got to walk Jazzy with her cute pink leash.

DSC_0059

Grandma gives me Gatorade as Mom insisted to keep me cool from the heat. I took a quick sip then proceeded to "walk" Jazzy.

DSC_0065

Daddy's carrot cake from the Farmer's Market- it was really good, especially the frosting.

DSC_0084

singing Happy Birthday to Daddy, I know this song really well!

DSC_0091

The spot where we celebrated Dad's birthday. Good thing there was shade from our shelter or none of us would have made it past 5 minutes in that heat.

I also enjoyed having Jazzy there. She loves to lick my face. Here's a fun series for you guys to see my and Jazzy's healthy relationship :)

Hee hee. That was FUN!

After Dad's party, we got home and crashed into our beds. When waking up, the heat was still unbearable (more for my Mom though) and we hung out at the balcony of our home.

Week 28 (7 months) shot together.

Okay, here's another series. Mom told me she was gonna take pictures of me saying different animals' sounds. Enjoy.

IMG_4071

"I'm a robot with big bad metal teeth!" (from Liliput Robot book)

IMG_4072

"Can you do this too?"

IMG_4073

"quack quack!"

IMG_4074

"moooooo"

IMG_4075

"oink oink!" (okay that was difficult)

IMG_4076

"mirrraaaoooowwwww"

IMG_4077

"okay, I'm done. Now can I play with my cars?"

IMG_4079

Mommy and I.

Hope you enjoyed this overloaded album as much as I've enjoyed catching up.

Until then folks,
