Soccer balls, deep pits, rad haircuts, & sushi fish

Man, now that I'm just three weeks away from being 4 1/2, I'm doing all kinds of cool new things. Two weeks ago, I started soccer practice. My coach's name is Reggie. He's pretty nice. He's taught me how to trap the ball three different ways so far and I'm even using my left foot! Dad's especially proud of me for that last part. He says it's hard to use your opposite foot, but you gotta try.

We dug a big pit in our backyard last weekend so that we could plant some bamboo. Monkeys love bamboo. I'm hoping that maybe some monkeys will come hang out in our yard with me. Dad says he knows of at least two monkies who are already in our backyard, but I haven't found them yet. Silly monkies!!

What else...we ate sushi the other night after we left Ikea!! IT WAS SO COOL!! There was this conveyor belt - I just learned that word - that went all the way around the restaurant. It had little plates of sushi on it. I could just pick whatever I wanted and then if I didn't like it Dad would eat it. Even Beck ate some avocado and rice. We had a really fun time. I love sushi.

OK, I've saved the best news for last. I GOT A MOHAWK!!!! I've wanted one for a long time so finally Mom and Dad said I could. Dad tried to do it himself on the back patio, but I started crying because it hurt so he took me to the hair cut place and a nice girl named Kaela did it instead. It looks SO COOL!!! I can't wait to show my friends at school.

That's all for now. More news later. I am learning how to ride a bike and will hopefully have pictures soon!!

At the Coast with Grandma!

Grandma came to visit from Ohio last week

so we went to the coast.


We stayed in this little house on the beach



with a funny bird who Dad liked to feed.



While we were there I learned how to fly a kite


and got to play on the beach


while Beck hung out and drank from his sippy cup.



We went to this cool lighthouse



and checked out the ocean and seals


while Beck hung out at the cabin.

We had such a great time with Grandma.
I miss her a lot and can't wait to see her this summer.

and neither can Beck!

We didn't sleep much last night.

Shelby the Monster Dog

Check-out this video Dad took of Shelby this morning. The old girl is getting scary! Just kidding! We put peanut butter all over the roof of her mouth!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
