Here Today, Gone to Maui...


What can I say? I've been a busy girl. So many places to see and people to visit. A girl like me just doesn't have time to update my Blog all the time.

But this time I have so much to share I just had to log on again.

I just returned from my first trip to Maui, Hawaii. And I think I discovered my new home. We stayed at the Wailea Beach Resort and had the coolest room with a view of the ocean and my favorite pool.

There was soooo much to see and do that I didn't feel it was necessary to take a nap for the entire trip. Instead I just crashed out with Mommy and Daddy at 6:30 (Hawaiian time) each night

I got to visit a real tropical plantation and I went snorkling at the Molokini Crater. I had some shaved ice with my Mommy in Old Town Lahaina and ate Hawaiian Spare Ribs with Daddy at Kimo's on the water. (See videos)

The plane trip was long but I was able to sleep through most of it. It was a little cramped though. Maybe we'll get Daddy his own seat next time. Aloha.

I love family day!



I went to Sea World with mommy and daddy today, and then when we came home, I helped daddy water the lawn.  I had soooo much fun getting wet and playing in the water.  I'm walking really fast these days...can't stop me now!

Presley the party animal


Yesterday, I got to see my nana for her 60th birthday party.  Mommy said it was a surprise...I love surprises!!  We ate lunch and lots of cake and then we got to go swimming in nana's big pool.  Everyone made such a big fuss over me and nana bought me some presents too. (I think the party was really for me, shhh....don't tell!)  Then later, we got to see aunt Cary and eat at taco surf...I tried to eat handfuls of salsa it was so yummy!  What a fun day we had.  When's the next birthday party??

Dinner with my Tata

On father's day, after I wowed mommy and daddy with my walking skills, I got to have dinner with my Tata.  He is so funny...just wanted to share with you all how much fun we had!

Happy Father's Day to My Daddy

I had been holding out to show my talents until Father's Day. I knew all along that I had the skills to walk but I wanted Daddy to feel special, so I waited until the big day. (Well actually the day before). I started off with 7 steps from Mommy to Daddy in the morning, but I didn't want to give away too much. So I waited again until we went to dinner with Tata. Then I did another 7 steps for him. When we got home Mommy and Daddy decided I should be showing my skills to the world so we turned on the video camera. I like the camera. Some day I'll be a star, so I'm used to having it around. Anyway this video is my 3rd attempt at walking. But still the first day I even tried. Daddy said he was proud of me and Mommy was really happy too. Look out world, here I come!!

Patriotic Presley!




WOW! What a weekend I had...Saturday we all went to the Tierrasanta Patriot's Day Parade. I still don't know what a Patriot is, but I had sooo much fun waving at all the people in the parade. Mommy said I was the best cheerleader because I clapped and yelled "yeaaahhh!" for all of the people and kids parading down the street...maybe next year I can be in the parade too. Then I got to meet our next Mayor Steve Frances since daddy is a councilman now...and I danced with grammy while some really cool old guys played loud music. But my favorite part of the day was the fireworks show and the loud "BOOM" I can't wait for the 4th of July!!

RUBBIN' ELBOWS WITH A HOTTIE!!




Mommy and Daddy took me to the Home Expo at the Del Mar Fairgrounds this weekend so Daddy could look at stuff and Mommy and I could meet Andrew Dan Jumbo, Star of "While You Were Out" and "Take Home Carpenter" on TLC. We think he's dreamy...

So he took some pictures with us and signed a picture of himself for my wall. He's a bit old for me...but it's fun to look.

MY FIRST HAIRCUT

Well I guess Mommy and Daddy were tired of me looking like a ragamuffin, so they decided to take me in to get a trim. Which is good in my "eyes" because it was getting hard to see. Plus it's sooo HOT I needed the ventilation.

We hopped over to a place in La Jolla that had a toy store attached to it. There were some cool chairs to sit on that looked like cars and airplanes, but my Mommy was a bit nervous. SO I sat on her lap to keep her calm and happy.

Nothing major. A quick trim of my bangs and a snip on the tips and it was all over. I would do it again but I'm hoping to have hair as pretty as Mommy's some day. So I'll keep working on it.

Check out the experience first hand. It's a bit long (4:30ish) so if this kind of thing doesn't excite you I understand. Love, Presley.

My Beautiful Photos



For my birthday Mommy and Daddy took me for a photo shoot so I could strut my stuff for the cameras. I don't know what stuff that is, but it sounds good. Mommy said they were cheezy but I didn't get to eat any cheese.  I did some fancy formal shots and some tropical beach shots too. Take a look.

THE BIG BLOWOUT PARTY!

I made it to my first birthday party and what a great turnout. Lots of Mommy's and Daddy's friends were there and a lot of my family and cousins also. I even made some new friends from around the block. I had a yummy cupcake made especially for me. But I like the frosting the best. I can't wait to do this again next year.

Boy Am I Tired....


IT'S BEEN ONE REALLY LONG YEAR. BUT WORTH EVERY MINUTE.

Ohhh What A Birthday It Was!!!!!






For a 1 year old I am sure a big traveler. I spent my Birthday with my Nana, Auntie Lori, Great Grandpa, Grammy and of course my Mommy and Daddy. Above are some pictures of my big day both in Long Beach and San Diego. Breakfast at Nana's was fun. I got lotz of gifts and a new dolly that I can feed myself. And I'm really good at it. Grandpa and I spent some quality time together. After a long drive back to San Diego I got to see Daddy. I think he missed me because he gave me a hundred kisses. I went over to Grammy's house for some swimming and some ham. The day was finished with some yummy bug cupcakes. Messy...but yummy!

Drinking With Daddy

Daddy says I'm a big girl now and that I should learn to drink out of a big girl cup. So we like to share our drinks once in a while. For everyone with Child Protective Services.. This is plain water we are drinking. Despite the ending. Daddy thinks he's funny. I think he is too.

Play Time With Mommy

I'm gettin' really good at this climbing stairs thing. But of course Mommy and Daddy had to watch me just in case I fall. Which happens once in a while. I'm not sure, but I think it would be much easier to climb if I didn't have such a diaper wedgy.

"Danger" Is My Middle Name.Not "Morgan"

My Daddy is always keeping a good eye on me. So when I noticed he wasn't looking I went on a little adventure. First I put something in my mouth that wasn't mine. Then I started up the stairs to see how far I could get. I must say I'm pretty proud of myself. I made it up 1 full flight. Well at least I made it up 4 steps before my Daddy found me. Have a look...

Does this mean I'm Canadian now?


So we crossed the border to Surrey BC by car, and the guy at the border didn't even stamp my passport!! What's up with that, eehh? By the way, in case you didn't know...everyone in Canada says eehh, I'm pretty good at making that sound too! Mommy took me to my first bridal shower for cousin Brandi and her soon to be husband Keven. I've never seen so many women all in one room. I got to meet lots of new people, and Tia Tita came too. I really loved all the beautiful butterflies on the napkins and the food was so yummy...fruit and whipped cream, delicious!! I wanted to eat all of the tissue and wrapping paper from Brandi's gifts, but mommy says it's not polite. I can't wait to go to the next one! I'm still trying to figure out why no one actually took a shower. The best part of the whole trip was staying with Cousins Gary and Sabrina, they LOVE me!! I was spoiled rotten all weekend long and Gary loves to kiss my feet ;-) I really love all of my Canadian family, does this mean I'm Canadian now, eehh?

Something Fishy, and it isn't my Diaper



After the Space Needle Daddy was hungry (what's new) so we went to the Public Fish Market on Pike's Street for lunch. We walked around a bit to see what sounded good and we ended up in this crappy restaurant that was famous for being in a movie called "Sleepless in Seattle". I've never heard of it but I hear it's a chick flick. Anyway Daddy's food was cold and Mommy's sandwich was gross and overpriced. We did some shopping and I got a really cute hat for my cold head (see picture) I also got to see some guy throw a giant fish across the room. Mommy always said to never play with my food but I don't think these guys have Mommies.

Restless in Seattle


I took a really big trip with Mommy and Daddy this past weekend. We flew to Seattle Washington on the way to Canada for my cousin Brandi's wedding shower. I've never taken a shower so it will be fun to see somebody else take one. But during our stop in Seattle we got to do some really fun things because we had some time to kill. When we first got there we went up in the space needle. It's supposed to be this really tall building but I wasn't scared. We must have been out of money because Daddy said he paid an Arm and a Leg for us to get to the top. I hope he'll be able to walk and hug me still. It was really cold up there but Mommy kept me bundled up. The wind on my face made me laugh though. We went outside for some pictures but stayed inside most of the time. It was a nice view. But I didn't see Dr. McDreamy ;-(
