First Time Kayaking

I went kayaking for the first time ever at Parker Canyon Lake, AZ, on July 18, 2010! I wanted to sit in a kayak by myself but I wasn't allowed because I didn't know how to swim yet. I ended up sitting on mommy's lap and daddy pulled our kayak.


We parked our kayaks at some very muddy spot that daddy chose. In this picture, daddy walked back to get our kayaks.


Smiling for a picture.


I snacked while daddy went to get the second kayak.

It ain't easy pulling a kayak over the muddy area.

With mommy.

Here is my I'm-so-cute photo.

Here's a video of me kayaking (with mommy's help) for the first time. Actually, daddy pulled our kayak 99% of the time :-)

Halloween In July

Mommy made me wore my 2009 Halloween costume one more time and took these cute photos on July 17th. I think she was sad that I won't fit into this cute and comfy costume for this year's Halloween. Mommy actually bought this from the pajamas section and used as a costume for me.


Having fun outside with our hose.


Check out the way cool T-rex dinosaur tatoo on my left leg!

It so hard to multi-task: posing for pictures and talking on the phone.

Daddy's Birthday

Daddy's birthday was on July 14th. We celebrated at Poco and Mom's restaurant. I surprised daddy with a Dairy Queen blizzard cake and a toy from Target.


His Dairy Queen cake with midnight truffle ice cream.

We had cake again after work.

I love Dairy Queen's vanilla ice cream. That's my favorite ice cream!!

I never let my DQ go wasted!

My Big Gir Room

On July 12th, my parents decided that it was time for me to sleep on mommy's first queen size bed and put away my baby crib for good. I'm a big girl now and cribs are for babies :-) Here's a look at how we organize my room.


I actually have blue curtains for my windows.

I use my step stool to climb onto my bed.

My Grandparents' 40th Anniversary

We celebrated my grandparents 40th anniversary over the July 4th weekend at Farmington, NM. My job was to look cute in my pink dress and to pick up the cake at Sam's Club for aunt Holly.


I actually went to San Diego a couple weeks before the July 4th weekend and uncle Vinh taught me to pose for my pictures with one hand on my waist. Here I was in front of the Sam's Club in Farmington.


Happy 40th anniversary to my grandparents!!! We had this yummy cake at my grandparents' church.

Just goofing around and getting wet at the water fountain.

My First Sea World Visit

I went to the San Diego Sea World for the first time on June 21, 2010. I went back again six days later. I fell in love with Shamu and dolphins. My parents bought a stuffed Shamu and dolphin for me. Shamu's new name is Shammy, while my dolphin's name is Ouie. I named my dolphin as Ouie because I actually scraped my knees and got two ouies before purchasing it.


First time of seeing a killer whale named Shamu.


I got to touch lots of starfishes.




We hung out at Sesame Street's Bay of Play majority of the time.


I was flabbergasted when I saw Elmo and Cookie Monster for the first time! I hugged both of them.


My eyes didn't blink for a second during the Shamu show!


I love dolphins.


It was to go on Elmo's flying fish ride over an over again.


I also like to go on the Abby Cadabby ride.


I got to meet Zoe in addition to Elmo and Cookie Monster when I went back to Sea World for the second time.


I heart Elmo and Abby :-)


Our dolphin stamps.

My First Disneyland Visit

I went to Disneyland for the first time ever back in late June 2010. I had a lot of fun! We went for two days. I blew my parents away by wanting to go on my first roller coaster ride and it's called Gadget's Go Coaster. Hopefully, I'll get to go back for my third birthday :-)


Walt Disney with Mickey Mouse.


Mickey's Toon Town.


Daddy needed a picture with Goofy to show his co-worker.


Tea party inside of Minnie's house.


Dumbo ride.


I used to hate merry-go-round, but that all changed when I saw it at Disneyland.


Disneyland is definitely the happiest place on Earth even though there are long lines everyone. I've never had such a big lollipop before!


I got to drive a car.


The Mad Tea Party is my favorite ride because I love tea parties.


In front of the famous Disneyland castle.


Some spaceship ride.


The little people inside of the Small World boat ride.


Oh yes, Disneyland is definitely the happiest place on Earth when mommy found two $5.00 bills on the Small World boat ride.


Mickey's Toon Town


I got to pick my very own Mickey Mouse before leaving the Disneyland Downtown.
