Special Celebrations

2010-08-08T15:57:00.000-07:00

Dad and Mom surprised me with a trip to Midieval Times. This was a special celebration because for the past two weeks I have not used my pacifier. They said they were so proud of me that they wanted to take me to a place they knew I would love. I knights and fighting are two of my favorite things, so this event was perfect.

Santa Cruz

2010-08-08T15:44:00.000-07:00

Big Brother

2010-03-06T14:00:00.000-08:00

A few weeks ago Mom and Dad let me know that I will be a big brother! I am already, ready for the baby to be here and keep asking how come the baby is taking so long. I guess I'm willing to wait cause it won't be here until around October 17th. The good new is I'm gonna have someone to play with besides just my dog.

Underware Party

2010-02-23T10:14:00.000-08:00

Dada planned an Underware Party for me. We stayed home for 4 days in a row and I learned to use the potty. Dada made me a chart to track my progress with stickers and I also got candies for a successful pee or poop. I'm a big boy now.

Spider Man & Green Goblin

2010-02-23T10:12:00.000-08:00

Dad made us these masks so we could be Spider Man and Green Goblin and fight each other.

I'm 3

2010-02-09T15:43:00.001-08:00

I celebrated my 3rd birthday last week. On the day of my birthday my Mom & Dad took me to John's Incredible Pizza. It was pretty fun. A few days after that I had a Knight party with my cousins. What a happy birthday.

Sir Theo

2009-12-27T18:12:00.000-08:00

Narnia Lion, Witch and Wardrobe and Prince Caspian are two of my favorite movies right now. I am really into knights and love fighting stuff. My Dad and I build a cardboard castle and I got some knight stuff for Christmas too. We went to a hockey game and I got to meet a real knight who was the mascot. I love to take those bad guys down.

Frog Hunting

2009-10-27T10:52:00.000-07:00

Auntie Trish took this picture of me when I went Frog Hunting with her and Uncle Jon-Jon at their house. It was so much fun. I almost got to take one home but we didn't have a tank to keep it in. Maybe next time.

Mom & Son's Meat Marinara

2009-09-02T09:18:00.000-07:00

One of my Dads favorite meals is spaghetti. My Mom has been trying her whole married life to make a sauce that Dad would love. Finally she's got it, she just needed a little help from me. My Mom and I have concocted a special sauce called "Mom & Son's Meat Marinara". Mom and I cook together a lot but I think this is one of my favorites to make. Dad is defiantly a fan of this one.

Now My Know My ABC's

2009-09-01T22:28:00.000-07:00

I have been reciting my ABC's since before I was two. Just recently I have been going letter by letter and really learning about what they look like and the sounds they make. I recently found some super cool ABC cookies, what better way to learn my letters then to pack a little sugar with em. Yum!

Staycation

2009-08-31T19:36:00.000-07:00

We went on a staycation to Uncle Matty & Aunt Harvest house. We spent a lot of time around the water and I spent a lot of time in the sand. It was a great trip.

Dodger Tradition

2009-08-23T22:47:00.000-07:00

Grandpa Great has been taking my Dad to the Dodgers game every year since he was 5. This is a tradition that Dad wanted to carry on with me. I went to my first Dodgers game at 3 months old. This is year was extra special because I got to go with my Grandpa Great.

Ice Cream Date

2009-08-23T22:44:00.000-07:00

Grandma Great took me to a special place that she has taken my Grandma as a kid, My Mom & Uncle Chris, Uncle Jon-Jon & Aunt Laney. The old drug store with the ice cream counter is still there. Not quite the same of course but just as fun. I ordered a Root Beer Float, Grandma Great had a cone.

Summer Beach Trips

2009-08-23T22:38:00.000-07:00

Dog Walk

2009-07-19T19:54:00.000-07:00

My dog Champ is still way to crazy for me to walk on my own. So I got the next best thing, his daughter. I took Zoe on a walk at Grandpa & Grandma's house, we had a good time.

Family Camp Trip

2009-07-14T11:15:00.000-07:00

Here are some of my favorite pictures from our family camp trip.

My House is Your House

2009-07-06T09:44:00.001-07:00

Champ and I have to share a bedroom, so I decided that he should have to share his dog house too. I like hanging out in there, it's actually pretty cozy.

Super Heros

2009-07-06T09:03:00.000-07:00

Super Hero's have been my thing. Dad & Mom took me to Super Hero Saturday at my library. Spider Man wasn't there, he was too busy but I did get this picture with Super Man.

Shag

2009-07-06T09:00:00.000-07:00

I'm going for the shag look but I had to get a trim. My last hair cut was in September of 2008 for Jon-Jon and Trish's wedding, I think it was about time for a trim. Uncle Chris stopped by for a hair cut so it was a good time for me to get one too.

Best Swing Pic

2009-07-06T08:59:00.001-07:00

Hellboy Arm

2009-06-03T08:28:00.000-07:00

There's no denying that Hellboy is one of my favorite things. My Mom recently hooked me up with a Hellboy arm and a Price Nuada sword. I like to play like Champ's the bad guy and punch him with my big Hellboy arm.

Pink Milk

2009-05-24T13:52:00.000-07:00

I go back a forth for which show is my favorite. Lately it has been "Charlie & Lola". I watched an episode where Lola and her friend drink pink milk and blow bubbles in it to make each other laugh. I had to try it too. It was defiantly fun!

Summer Face

2009-05-18T20:49:00.001-07:00

Here's a preview of what's to come this summer. Playing in the dirt and popsicles. Good times.

Great Great

2009-05-18T20:44:00.000-07:00

I got introduced to a new game this week. Grandma Great, Mom and I played a game of Bingo with Nanny, my Great Great Grandma. I used my own stamper and had my own card but I couldn't get it done. Those old people are tough. Maybe next time.

Up

2009-05-18T20:40:00.001-07:00

I'm super excited about the new movie "Up" that's coming out at the end of the month. I can't wait to go to the theater to see it. Movie, Popcorn & Candy, sounds like a date.

Happy Birthday Dada

2009-04-19T21:14:00.000-07:00

Our trip to San Diego to celebrate Dada's 32nd Birthday.

The Dump

2009-03-15T13:34:00.000-07:00

My Dad and Uncle Aaron have great memories of going to the dump as kids. Grandpa would take them a lot when he would take his loads and they always had a blast.

I recently took my first trip to the dump. It was quite the occasion, I had fun.

Special Tool Box

2009-03-15T13:28:00.000-07:00

I love to work! I have my own tools but no where to put them. Dad and I had a special project together and build me my own tool box.

Grandpa even gave me some cool stuff to put in it like nails, screws and a thing that you stick down drains to get them unclogged.

Family Face Pic

2009-03-15T13:24:00.000-07:00

I know its a weird picture but its great for a laugh. Here's one of Dad and Champ that we had to get because its not very often that Dad gets this close to Champ.

The Toddler & The Sea

2009-03-15T13:02:00.000-07:00

A new interest of mine is the sea and its creatures. I've watched Finding Nemo and Jaws and I think that's where my fascination began. I have a fish "Dorthy" and some pretend sea animals that Grandpa & Grandma brought me back from Hawaii. I play with those guys all the time.

I've recently become particularly interested in scuba divers. I have my owns goggles that I can play like a diver in the shower or bath, even around the house.

I've been studding jelly fish in a national geographic show I recorded. Mom and I picked out some other Documentaries on Netflix of Sharks and other sea animals. I just love all the awesome creatures God made and think its so fun to learn about them.

Train Ride

2009-02-25T10:21:00.001-08:00

I got some cash from my Grandma Great for Valentines Day. One of the things I used my money for was a Choo Choo Train ride. It was super fun.

Snowman Crate Family

2009-02-25T10:16:00.000-08:00

We got these crates for a buck each. We went a little crazy and probably over bought but they were cheap. Mom and I used them to make a fort then after that I asked to make snowmen. We started with one, then I decided it was Dad so we couldn't stop there. We made Mom, Me and of course Champ.

Me with me the Crate Snowman.

Hot Coco Connoisseur

2009-02-11T11:19:00.001-08:00

Ever since I watched the movie Polor Express, I've become very interested in Hot Coco. The kids on the train are sever Hot Coco and its a very exciting experience. Mom served me some that day and things changed.

I'm pretty much an expert on Hot Coco now and love to drink it as much as I can.

Here's me making and tasting my own special home made Hot Coco brew.

Up In The Air

2009-02-08T20:39:00.001-08:00

We have been wanting to go kite flying for a long time and we finally did it. Dad took us out during my birthday week. The wind was pretty strong that day and we lost our kite a few times but I'm so glad we just went for it.

Hellboy Lego Guys

2009-02-07T18:28:00.000-08:00

Check out all my favorite Hellboy Guys made from my plain old Legos.

Checking Dirt

2009-02-07T13:47:00.000-08:00

Mom and I were doing some landscaping, not abnormal for us but this time we busted a sprinkler pipe. We had a little flood before we figured out how to shut the water off. I ended up having to tromp through the dirt and even sample some just to make sure things were ok.

My Tonka

2009-02-07T13:37:00.000-08:00

I had to do some dirty work at the new cool house. I used my dump truck to help me out and we got the job done.

My Birthday Count Down

2009-02-07T13:19:00.000-08:00

I had a count down until my Birthday, every morning I got to pull a number off to see how many more days it would be until my Birthday. Here is a preview of a few days.

2009 Goals

2009-01-25T15:00:00.000-08:00

Mike Nunez suggested to my Mom that she do a post about my 2009 goals. Great, thanks Mike now I have even more to live up to. It sounded fun any way so here it goes:

These are mine
1. Use the potty
2. Peddle my bike
3. Catch a ball

These are Mom's for me
1. Loose the Uh-mm
2. Eat more veggies and fruits
3. Go to Sunday School with out crying (For Mom and Theo)

Ok, so they aren't so bad. We do have another list that we won't make public, you don't even want to know whats on that one.

Champy Boy

2009-01-25T14:53:00.000-08:00

Champ and I had to take a break from each other. After living with Grandpa and Grandma we agreed that we would take time each day just to be together. This is us relaxing and watching a movie.

My Favorite Christmas Gifts

2009-01-25T14:39:00.001-08:00

So Christmas was a lot of fun this year. Mom and Dad kept trying to enforce the fact that Christmas was about some guys Birthday. I never saw the guy, only heard stories about him but heck, I made out.

Grandpa & Grandma Duran got me the whole set of Handy Manny and the tools. I got it just in time to help Dad with all the work around the cool house.

Aunt Laney hooked it up with a sweet ride. I don't even have a lease on this thing. I'll I need now is my driver license.

And what better to finish up a long day of work and fun with a hot shower and a big warm towel from Grandpa and Grandma Fredricks.

Thanks everybody for the great gifts and thanks to the guy who's birthday happened so I could get gifts.

Choo Choo Train

2009-01-25T14:35:00.001-08:00

I got to see my cousin Doree for her B-Day, that was fun but the coolest part was that Uncle Rick let me play with his choo choo train all by my self. I guess Uncle Rick is still a big kid cause he has some pretty awesome toys.

Sea World

2009-01-01T17:08:00.001-08:00

Judging by the pictures you probably can't tell that I went to Sea World. All the animals were fun to see but it was most exciting to meet some of my best buddies from Sesame Street.

Isaiah and Kyla introduced me to Bay of Play. We went on Sesame Street rides and got to a see a cool 4-D movie.

Bonding with Dada

2008-12-24T14:07:00.000-08:00

Dad and I have been doing some bonding lately. I've found out that he's pretty fun and can be like a kid. We have done some cool things together lately.

We took a trip to Chuck E Cheese. I put the money in the games and Dad got to play them. I liked that I got to earn tickets for playing games. All I really cared about was the money so it worked out good. Dad had fun.

We celebrated Christmas with The Nunez Team at Knotts. I loved going on the rides with Dad. He said when I get a little older we could go on the roller coasters together.

He also took me to the Zoo with my cousins. My favorite part was the big bird that kept saying "Hello", to us. I think he liked me.

My First Concert

2008-11-21T12:35:00.000-08:00

My Dad and Mom took me to see "Sesame Street Live," "Elmo Makes Music." Man was it fun. I was able to see all my Sesame Street friends perform. I could hardly control my self when I saw the characters come on the stage. I was yelling all of their names and waving. I'm pretty sure they saw me but didn't want to make the other kids feel bad if they said Hi back.

Dad let me pick out any thing I wanted from the souvenir stand. I guess not anything, I wanted the Zoe stuffed animal but he wouldn't let me get that (I think its because its a girl and that would be a little wierd). We settled for the soundtrack of the show. I've listened to it every day since the show at least once. What a blast.

More Apples

2008-10-24T20:36:00.001-07:00

I enjoyed some apples on our family field trip to Oak Glen. It was a first for me and I had a blast. I hated to see all those apples on the ground go to waste that I had to bite into a few of them to make sure they were bad. I really liked the cider popsicles we had and all the apples we go to bring home.

The Start of a Tradition

2008-10-17T21:19:00.000-07:00

For my second October I went to the pumpkin patch. This year was much more fun than last because I was mobile. I went in the jumper, climbed the tower to ride the huge slide and rode the spinning swings. All I wanted was more, more, more. I even got to take a pumpkin home with me.

This picture is from my first October to the pumpkin patch.

Officially My Auntie Trish

2008-10-05T14:49:00.000-07:00

September 28th, 2008 Trish officially became my Aunt. I am very excited about her being a part of my family and so is everyone else.

We moved in with the Duran's and have been here for the past few weeks. I'm loving the time I get to spend with Aunt Lanie, (shes probably my favorite, but don't tell my other Aunts and Uncles). Grandpa has a special drawer for me in his office with cool stuff for me to play with, I also get to play the guitar with him and sing songs too. Me and Grandma like to eat popcorn together and watch movies.

Uncle Chris, Krystal, My Dad and Mom and I attended my second annual Dodger game. This has been a tradition with My Dad and Grandpa Great for the past 26 years. My Dad and I plan to carry the tradition on. It was a great game, the Dodgers won 10 to 2 and I even got to see Manny hit a home run. Go Dodgers!

I turned 20 months old this month too.

19 Months, I think

2008-09-12T14:22:00.000-07:00

Ok, ok, ok so its been awhile since my last post, I realize that you are supposed to keep these things up. (Thanks Grandpa for letting me know).

So my parents are crazy, just when we were getting comfortable they decide to move again, great.

Our family is transitioning again. We have some tenants moving in this month and we are moving to the Durans while we wait to find a house to buy. No luck yet.

Although time has been slim we have actually managed to do some things. I have started to learn more about the mystery of the toilet. I know that you put pee and poop in there and I know where it comes from, I just can't quite put the two together but its fun to practice.

I have spent some time with my cousins. We went swimming together and went to the movie in the park.

Uncle Chris is home now and he brought me a lot of cool gadgets from DC, what a guy. I love weird stuff to play with. I also love to get into the pantry when no one's around and eat sugar.

Camp Trip Success

2008-08-17T20:07:00.000-07:00

I'm back from my Camp Trip vacation.

The highlights were, sleeping in a tent and being dirty 24/7. I had lots of fun with my friend Bobby and hanging out with the rest of "The Guys".

I enjoyed spending special time with Dad & Mom and all the fun things we got to do together as a family.

I especially loved all the sand I got to eat and loved to play with my Uh-Mmm in it too. I can't wait for our next adventure.

I'm a one and a halfer

2008-08-02T15:58:00.000-07:00

I'm 1 1/2 years old!

Man I was busy in July. The 4th of July slumber party at Grandpa & Grandma Greats house was a lot of fun. Rylee and I got to spend some time together before she left to her new home in the Philippines.

Me, Mom and Grandma went to go see "Elmo in Grouch Land" at the movie theater. It was so fun to see Melmo (Elmo) on the big screen.

I have been doing a lot of water activities too. I went to the beach and have played in the pool with my cousins & friends.

My 18 mo check up was scary, I cried a lot but the good news is I'm on track with the doc's schedule. My percentiles are still in the 90th for weight and 95th for height. The bad part is my doctor wants me to eat more veggies but I think I'm growing just fine, yuck! My speech is excellent, too!

Theo News

2008-07-02T16:25:00.000-07:00

I'm 17 Months!

This has been an awesome month staying home with my Mom. She has had a strict schedule with me but I am have been having a lot of fun.

My Uncle Chris graduated and moved to Washington DC for the summer. I have been hanging out in his room/my Moms office a lot and missing him tons. He is having a great time.

I went to the water park and the beach already this month. We have also found a new home for our puppy Jade. My Mom says its just two much work with two dogs and this is why I am not going to have a brother or sister anytime soon.
