Maddie Meets Her Beloved Princesses

Mommy and Maddie waited in line for an hour because in all our visits to Disneyland this year, she has never met any princesses before.  Maddie loved meeting Tiana.

She couldn't believe that Cinderella was there, too!  She is one of Maddie's favorite princesses.

But Maddie's most beloved princess is Ariel.  She hugged Ariel tightly for a very, very long time.

Maddie was sad to say goodbye to Ariel, but Ariel gave her a kiss on the cheek before she left.

Ka-boom!  Goofing around with Daddy & Maddie at Toon Town.

Another Visit To Disneyland

Our annual passes to Disneyland are ending soon, so Maddie & I are making the most of our last few visits.  Ready to have fun on Toy Story Mania.

The elementary school had an International Festival, so Maddie & I watched it with our friends.

Dyeing Easter eggs today!

All done!

Using up all the leftover stickers from the egg dyeing kit.

Happy Easter!

Trash Trucks & Weekend Playdate

Maddie took a tour of our local trash collecting company today.

Sitting up high behind the wheel of a trash truck.

Maddie poses in front of a trash truck with her fruit snacks in her hand.

Maddie is a little barefoot chef.

I had a rainy day playdate with my friend over the weekend. We like to build stuff together.

Whoa, it's leaning because it's so tall!

Resting after all that fun.

More Zoo & Park Pictures

Sharing a laugh with Remy, our Auntie Aki's doggie.

Watching the turtles sun themselves on the rock.

First time playing with the water table this season.

This is not a zoo or park picture, but Maddie is very excited about Mommy's new mop.

A nice day to fly my Spiderman kite at the park.

After Mommy got it up into the air, she let me fly it. :)

Watching and enjoying the kite soaring up over my head.

Maddie looking cute holding her Elmo bag.

Kite flying is so much fun!

Spending some quality time brushing and petting the goats.

Nobody wants to be brushed anymore because it's lunchtime.

This guy let me pet him while he finished his lunch.

Mommy, can I have a pet goat? I promise to brush and feed him everyday...

Baking & Zoo & Park

Hi! Sorry we haven't updated this page lately. We've been busy playing, though. Here I am baking cookies. Yum!

I told Mommy I'm going to be a chef when I grow up.

A couple of weeks ago, Maddie & I visited the little zoo near our home. I liked brushing the baby goats.

Mr. Snake, do you like graham crackers?

Maddie likes watching the snakes, too.

Peeking out and saying 'Hi!' to Mommy. She remembers holding me up when I was a baby to take a picture in this sign. Now I'm tall enough to climb up all by myself!

Mommy thinks Maddie looks so grown up and beautiful in this picture.

Then Maddie decides to make a funny face at Mommy!
