Pardon the delay !

2010-03-05T14:43:00.002-05:00

I have been keeping so busy I have barely had any time to blog. Momma's friends Kristi and Rob came to visit recently from Virginia and I go t to play with Kaya and baby Korbin. Mommy used to be a flight attendant with Kristi. Granny and Ama came to see me over Valentine's weekend. Grandma and the Weber's came too and we all got to have lunch together. It was wonderful to have everyone together (except Grandpa, who by the way I have officailly named "Poppa".

Mommy and I have been spending a lot of time in the yard. Well, when it's not cold. We have started a garden and I am so excited to see everything start to grow. So far we have planted tomatoes, lettuce, bok choi, cilantro, basil, and carrots. I'll keep you updated on how it's going.

When we're not in the garden, we sometimes go to the park and meet my friends. This week we met Liam and Reese. I love to run around and have fun with the boys.

Sometimes we go shopping for groceries and things for the house. I like it when Daddy gets to go with us, because he likes french fries almost as much as me. (okay, maybe a little more)

So that's what I've been up to since January. I gotta tell Mommy that I need more time to blog so I can keep everyone updated on my busy life.

Busch Gardens!!

2010-01-27T12:44:00.003-05:00

This weekend Grandma and Grandpa took me to Busch Gardens! (It's so fun to live in Florida!!!) We got to see all the cool rollercoasters, the animals, and lots of fun stuff. I had a BLAST, and can't wait to do it again. Good thing they got a season pass!!!

My first Circus!!

2010-01-18T10:18:00.002-05:00

Saturday was the best day ever!!! daddy and Mommy took me to see "the greatest show on earth!"

There were lots of elephants- and there were ponies and tigers and llamas.

We had popcorn, and my new favorite---COTTON CANDY!!! Wow, it's yummy.

I hope we can go again next year. I just loved everything.

Making Christmas cookies with Grandma, Daddy, and Mommy!

Me, Mommy and Santa

ICE!!!

2009-12-18T11:15:00.003-05:00

Grandma took Mommy and me to ICE!
That's where they carve 2 tons of ice into amazing holiday sculptures! It was 9 degrees inside!!! I have never been anywhere that cold. I slid down an ice slide and got to wear gloves! It was really neat. We even went in a real igloo! I think we will do it again next year!

2009-12-06T16:43:00.003-05:00

I had so much fun over Thanksgiving! Daddy is teaching me to skateboard, and we had a great day playing in the backyard. Grandpa Gregor took these pictures so he's not in any of them, but him and Grandma Debra were here too. We had fun all day!!!

My first trip to DISNEY......

2009-11-30T16:28:00.003-05:00

......lasted 1 hour.

We got rained out!! Momma said: "Thank heaven the tickets were free".
I do not like being wet unless I am in the pool!!!

Halloween Rocks!

2009-11-05T11:56:00.006-05:00

We had so much fun on Halloween. Mommy and Daddy took me to a "trunk or treat" with the Ferris family at a local church. Then we went to a really cool street fair and carnival in Winter Garden. I played the "pick the duck" game and won a prize. After all that fun we went to one of Daddy's friends party. We stayed out late and had a great time. I wasn't scared at all and everyone LOVED my costume. I will be looking forward to Halloween EVERY year.

The circus!

Weekend with Granddaddy

2009-10-26T11:50:00.003-04:00

Granddaddy came to visit me this weekend and we had sOooo much fun! He even brought Sandy and Gizmo too. We went swimming and to the Halloween festival. It was very nice having him here. I hope I get to see him again real soon. GG (Grandma Gaughf) couldn't make it this visit. We missed her, but I loved seeing Granddaddy. He's GREAT!

What a great weekend

2009-10-21T20:30:00.002-04:00

Aunt Dale (Ama) came for a visit this weekend. We had a really good time. The weather was beautiful (and cool for the first time in months). We took Mimi to a new dog park. There were a lot of big dogs there though and she got a little scared. Look how cute she looks here with her new Halloween Bandana Ama got for her. We also took Ama to Ikea. She had never been before. She said it was "overwhelming".

Here's my friend Liam. He comes over on Mondays to play with me. This week Mommy took us on a bike ride.

It's a party!

2009-10-11T08:26:00.003-04:00

My friend Liam just turned one. He had a great party. His dad is Filipino too and all his family came and brought GREAT traditional food. Daddy was really happy.

The pinata was fun.

Aunt Sheryl and Justin came to visit too. Aunt Winda and baby Taylor were here, so we had a houseful. I like when all mine and Mommie's friends come and visit- but they are all BOYS!!! Oh well.

Taylor in camo. Do they really hunt in California?

Daddy and Mommy visit DC

2009-10-11T08:17:00.002-04:00

Mommy and Daddy went to Washington DC to celebrate Mommy's birthday. They said it was a lot of fun; and when I get a little older they are going to take me too.

These are a few of my favorite things....

2009-09-22T16:59:00.002-04:00

Weekend at Granny's

2009-09-12T19:22:00.007-04:00

Mommy ad Daddy went away this weekend for Mommy's birthday and I got to go to Granny's house. I know I had more fun. Granny taught me to make bisquits, and how to fish. Grandpa and Grandma were there too. Grandpa took lots of pictures as usual. We all had such a great time. I can't wait to go back. Mommy and Daddy can take me there anytime.

2009-09-03T09:52:00.003-04:00

Summer is drawing to an end. I am still having lots of fun though swimming every chance I get. Our computer has been at the doctor's all week getting a check-up. Mommy is letting me blog on the laptop. I have been pretty busy. My friend Liam had been coming over in the afternoons while his mommy goes to work. This weekend I am going to my great-granny's house. Here's the link to grandpa's website and all the new photos. Talk to everyone soon!

Brushing my teeth now every night!

Loving the pool with Auntie Sheryl and Justin

I always have fun with Zaida!

Hawaii

2009-08-06T17:25:00.004-04:00

Our trip to Hawaii this year was so much fun. On the way we stopped in LA and I got to see Taylor and his parents (Winda and Tim). Then in Hawaii I got to see my Grandma Merlita and stay at her house. We saw a lot of things. We went to the zoo, and the beach, and the swap meet. I had a wonderful 1st birthday party at Ala Moana beach park. Everyone came to wish me a happy day- all of Grandma's friends and all of Daddy's friends. Hawaii is so pretty. I wish we could visit more often. The only thing bad about Hawaii is that Mimi couldn't go with us.

My Birthday at Chuck E. Cheese Hawaii

So VERY busy!!!!

2009-07-18T22:02:00.002-04:00

Aunt Dale came for a little visit a couple of weeks ago. We had a lot of fun as always!! I have been so busy with swim lessons, story time, getting ready for Hawaii, and learning to walk that I have not had any time to blog lately. Summertime is a very busy time of year I am learning!!!

Back in the blogging business....

2009-06-16T10:16:00.002-04:00

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. Mommy didn't have a camera for while, but now we do. Granpa Gregor and Grandma Debra came to visit this weekend. Grandpa took a lot of pictures and Sunday I took them to my pool. I think they liked it. I know I did!!!!

Swimming is sooo much fun!!

My friend Hannah.

I LOVE my Florida oranges!!!

My day at the splash park

2009-05-31T00:09:00.003-04:00

Mommy and Daddy took me to the splash park today. I had fun but it was a little scary at first. We had a nice lunch and hung out in the park for a while. I love Saturdays.

Yay.....

Auntie Liz is in Africa!!

2009-05-13T12:23:00.005-04:00

I had a great mother's day weekend. Mommy and I flew to see my Grandaddy and G.G. (Grandma Gaughf) in Macon. We had fun swimming in the pool and just "hangin' loose." Uncle Bret and Auntie Jenny spent some time with us too. I got some really great birthday gifts- (early of course, but I won't see my Gaughf family until after I am one). THANKS EVERYBODY!
Auntie Liz is going to Africa for the summer so we all went to the airport together. I can't wait to hear all about it. Mommy and Daddy are going out of town this weekend and I am going to see my Sidler Grandparents. I can't wait!!!

My new hobby..... Biking

2009-04-27T22:35:00.003-04:00

Mommy says she has been waiting a long time to be able to ride her bike with me. She got me this great trailer, although I call it my "chariot", so now we go every day. Today Abbie and Auntie Melissa went with us. Sometimes Mimi comes too. It's so much fun.

Happy Birthday Daddy....

2009-04-25T10:50:00.003-04:00

I can't wait to go to the pool with you.

2009-04-20T22:37:00.003-04:00

I had an awesome play date last week. My friend Liam and his mom Shannon met us at the park for a little swinging! It was my first time. My Aunt Dale (Ama) came to town for a visit and she took these great pictures. We had lots of fun while she was here, but I'll save that for another post.

Easter weekend

2009-04-17T00:34:00.004-04:00

I had sooo much fun my first Easter! We spent the weekend at Satellite beach with my Grandma and Grandpa Sidler. Mimi came too. I liked playing in the sand, but it was a little cool to swim. My Aunt Donna and cousins Hannah and Haley even came for the day to see me. I want to go back to the beach real soon. I am glad we live so close.

Just hanging out!

2009-04-07T14:59:00.001-04:00

My first swim

2009-03-19T12:14:00.003-04:00

Sunday we were going to go to the beach and meet my friend Justin, but it was a shuttle launch day and their was too much traffic. Instead Mommy and Daddy took me to the pool. I LOVED it!! I can't wait to go back. Mommy says I am going to take swim lessons next month. I am so excited.

2009-03-19T12:07:00.004-04:00

Auntie Karen just came to see me. She is so pretty and nice. I am happy I finally got to meet her. She played with me a lot. She took Mommy to see New Kids on the Block. She says when I get old enough she will take me too. I can't wait to see her again and meet my Uncle Brad and their dog Lucini.

Playdate with Zaida

2009-03-13T11:39:00.005-04:00

Grandaddy and Grandma's visit

2009-03-11T12:15:00.002-04:00

My Gaughf grandparents came to visit last weekend. We had so much fun. They played and played with me.They brought their puppies too for Mimi to play with. Playing on the blanket is my favorite, and I am glad that they could join me. We went to some new restaurants while they were here and even went to a farmer's market. It was my first time. I am so happy they came to visit. I love to have company.

Gotta get back to crawling and exploring. Talk to ya'll later!

Typical Morning

2009-02-23T11:05:00.003-05:00

Just an oridnary morning around our house. Mommy's making coffee and Mimi is begging for a treat as usual. I'm just getting my exercise. You would think this swing was turned on huh... well, not a chance. I'm doin' all this rocking all by myself. WHEEEEEEEEEE!

Buckle, Tofu, or Squash

2009-02-16T20:21:00.003-05:00

I love Valentine's...

...They taste GREAT!

How we warm up...

2009-02-04T10:23:00.002-05:00

... when it's cold outside!!!! I love my baths, but it's always more fun when you add bubbles! Mommy says it's our Florida version of playing in the snow (whatever that is!)

Almost February!

2009-01-30T13:10:00.003-05:00

I can't believe it's almost February already. It's rainy and cold here today. We are spending all day inside. Guess what I can do now? ...Sit up on my own and play. I love it. And you know what else? Mommy and Daddy have been putting me to sleep in my pack-n-play and last night I slept 11 hours straight! Can you believe it? Also, mom gave me the best new thing to eat. They're called graham crackers, and boy are they good.

I hope everyone is doing great. I can't wait to see you all soon. Love, Cali

I'm a model

2009-01-27T10:55:00.002-05:00

Congratulations President OBAMA!

2009-01-20T11:54:00.005-05:00

Mom says today is an amazing day in history that people will study and talk about long after we pass. Wow-
I was born just in time for this 'new era'!

6th month checkup

2009-01-19T20:25:00.003-05:00

I saw Dr. Summers today for my 6th month checkup. He said my momma is doing a good job, because I am growing up healthy. I weigh 16 pounds now, and I am 27 inches tall. Dr. Summers says that I am in the 90th percentile for my age, which means only 10% of other babies my age are taller. Daddy is really happy about that. He wants me to be tall like him. I got more shots today too. They didn't hurt too bad. I am a pro already.

It's cold...

2009-01-18T09:35:00.002-05:00

.. here in Florida! Mommy and I are spending a lot of time snuggling. I love these new jammies Aunt Jenny got me. Just wanted to say 'hi' .

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE !

2009-01-12T09:26:00.002-05:00

We are looking forward to 2009 here in the Ruiz house. This year I will have my one year birthday, I will get to meet Aunty Karen, I will learn to walk, and swim. And by the end of the year I will be talking everyone's ear off. Oh yeah- this is going to be a good year.

Also this year baby Taylor will be born to Aunty Winda and Uncle Tim, and congratulations to Aunty Kristi and Uncle Rob; they are expecting again.

Christmas in Macon

2009-01-12T09:14:00.003-05:00

I finally got to go to Macon, GA -where my mom is from. We spent the second part of Christmas there with my Gaughf family. It was great to see Grandma, Grandaddy, Aunty Jenny, Aunty Liz, and Uncle Bret.

.. And I finally got to meet my Great Aunts Lorene and Clara, and my Great Uncles Doug and Frank. I had so much fun. Macon is really pretty, and Grandaddy has a swimming pool! I can't wait to go back in the summer.

After Macon, Mommy and I went to Atlanta and spent the night with Angie, Ella, and their family. Then we flew home to Orlando. ... Let me see that was my 6th flight!!! lol.... oh boy is Christmas tiring!

Christmas in Barney

2009-01-05T21:47:00.004-05:00

In Barney, where my great granny lives, I got to see a lot of my relatives. I had never met my Great, Great Uncle Em and Great, Great Aunt Olive. I also got to see our good friends Vondel and Gayle MacKenzie. All of that before we even left for Macon. My Granny let me play the piano too. Thanks everyone for all my gifts. I can't wait to play with them.

Santa's Visit

2009-01-03T11:52:00.002-05:00

Wow! Was Christmas the funnest ever! We celebrated Christmas eve at my Great Granny's house. When I woke up Christmas morning guess what? Santa had come to visit. He brought me a table and two chairs that are just my size. He also brought me a cup of my own to drink from and some bath toys. I have no idea how he got that table down the fireplace. I think he should just use the front door like the rest of us!!

PEAS make me GAG

2008-12-21T19:02:00.000-05:00

Daddy was holding the camera the wrong way. He says "sorry!"

Santa Claus is coming to town

2008-12-13T22:45:00.003-05:00

I met Santa Claus today! He was really nice. Mom says he traveled all the way from the North Pole. (That's a really long way away.) He said I am all "sugar and spice." Grandma is coming tomorrow and we are going shopping for presents. I love Christmas already!

Rainy day

2008-12-11T15:29:00.007-05:00

We finally got all our ornaments up last night. The tree looks great! And I have my very own stocking for Santa to leave goodies in. It has been raining here all day long and now it is getting chilly. I think I will just snuggle up for a while and relax.

Decorating for Christmas

2008-12-09T10:33:00.003-05:00

So something really strange has been going on at my house. Mom and Dad have put a tree in the house. Yes, a tree- in the house! And they are hanging twinkling lights everywhere.
I am not sure what is going on, but Mom says Christmas is coming soon and we have to get ready. I am not sure yet where Christmas is visiting from, maybe California.

Know what else? I went to Grandma Debra's this weekend and she had a tree in her house too. Maybe Christmas is going to go to her house after he visits us.

It's all so exciting- I am worn out.
I need to investigate this Christmas a little more and get back to you.
Now Mom is saying something about a Santa Claus- and being a good girl.
I think maybe she is talking to Mimi.

Wonderful Thanksgiving

2008-11-30T09:13:00.003-05:00

I just experienced my first Thanksgiving holiday! Wow, was it great. Everyone came to visit. Grandaddy Gaughf even brought Sandy and Gizmo to play with Mimi. (Bret and Jenny couldn't make it this year, but I will get to see them soon!)
Grandma Barbara made the prettiest, and from what I hear, the juciest turkey! I had so much fun playing with everyone and I hear Christmas is even better. I can't wait.
Mommy says that Thanksgiving is all about be grateful for all the many blessings in your life. Well I may little, but I can already tell that we have a long list to be thankful for.

Even breakfasts are good at Thanksgiving.

Okay I got this funny chair from Grandma and Grandpa Sidler, does that mean I can have some turkey now?

My Big Girl

Cali had her 4 month checkup with Dr. Summers yesterday. She now weighs 14 pounds and is 25 inches long. She received her second round of vaccines with no complications. Hope everyone is having a good week and staying warm! - Alison

Practicing for Thanksgiving!!

Daily walk

2008-11-16T14:02:00.003-05:00

Daddy forgot and left my stroller in his car last night so Mommy had to find an alternative for our morning walk. Mimi is such a funny dog!!! She cracks me up.

Great Aunt Dale's visit

2008-11-16T13:54:00.003-05:00

My Aunt Dale came for a visit last weekend. I was so glad to see her.

We played a lot, and she sang me lots of songs. I think Mimi was jealous though- she wouldn't leave her alone for one minute. I really love having company. Mommy likes it too. Hopefully she'll come back soon!

Halloween in Tampa

2008-11-07T12:17:00.004-05:00

I spent my first halloween at my Grandma and Grandpa Sidler's. It was my first time away from Mommy, and I had a blast! I went trick-or-treating at Ms. Adeline's house. It was definately a treat. She gave me another book to add to my library. Grace and Emma stopped by to see me. I can't wait until I can wear a princess outfit like theirs.

We had so much fun all weekend. Grandma said I behaved like and angel. (And I found out that Grandpa and I have something in common....

...we can both sleep anywhere! )

UGA vs. FLA

I am all ready for the big game this weekend! GO Dawgs!

I'm ready too! Sic 'em.

Our California vacation

2008-10-29T20:31:00.007-04:00

Oh boy did we have fun in California. I finally got to meet my Uncle Bret and Aunt Jenny. Can I just tell you... Bret has the best rocking chair technique of anyone. There's no staying awake when he's a rockin'!!
I also got to meet all of my Grandma Barbara's family. My mom's cousin Megan married her sweetheart Brent at a vineyard in Temecula- That's why we all got together. It was a really pretty wedding. Everyone wanted to hold me and play with me all the time!! (Especially my Great Uncle Brian!)
Let's see, I met: Great Grandma Lo, Great Aunt Nancy and Uncle Eddie, Great Uncle Mark and Aunt Mary, Great Unlce Brian and Aunt Pam, Cousin Jen and Mike and their kids Connor, Sarah and Ian, Great Aunt Joan and Uncle Mike and Cousin Chelsea.... Oh they're was just so many. I am so lucky to have such a big family. I can't wait until I can see them all again.
Weddings are fun.

I'm so proud....

of Daddy! He got his blue belt on Saturday! Mommy and I went and watched. There were a lot of kids- maybe when I am older I can take Jujitsu too!

Friends are forever...

2008-10-24T12:53:00.007-04:00

In California I got to meet some of my mommy's best friends. We first spent the night with Winda and Tim. They are expecting little Taylor in February. I can 't wait to meet him too!!Then in San Diego I got to meet Mommy's friend Angie and her little girl Ella. Ella is two. I wanted to play with her, but I have to wait until next time we visit. I wish we could see them more often!!When we got home I finally got to meet Justin. His parents are Sheryl and Kalei. They used to be flight attendants with Mommy and now live right down the street! Justin is just 2 weeks younger than me. I had fun playing with him. I am sad though because they are moving to Melbourne soon. At least we can go visit!!

Visiting with everyone is the best time ever, but it sure can make a little girl tired! Think I'll go take a nap.

Takes so much of my time....

2008-10-23T13:59:00.002-04:00

I apologize for being so far behind in my blogging. With all the fun stuff to do this month like watching football, the World Series, carving pumpkins, etc... I find my time to blog very little.

Anyway it's mostly taking care of this CRRAZZZYY Daddy that takes all my time. I'll be blogging all about my California trip real soon. ((((If he'd just take a long nap!!!)))

YIIIIPPPPEEEEEEEEEEE!

Mimi's home from Grandma's!!!!

Aloha :)

2008-10-11T09:26:00.009-04:00

We are finally home from my first vacation. Hawaii is beautiful! I flew on my first flight from Orlando to San Francisco and then another flight to Honolulu.

Mom and Dad said I was REALLY good on the plane. The flight attendants all said so too, and they even gave me a set of wings.

In Honolulu I got to meet my Grandma Merlita for the first time. She was so excited. She took really good care of me, and let Mom and Dad go out for a while. She sang to me all the time and loved to give me a bath.

I also got to meet lots of my auties and uncles. Rowena, Natty, Nellie, Natasha, Haole, Gillian, Rayme, and lots more. Everyone says that I am "sooo pretty"- Thanks Mom and Dad.

One of the best times I had was swimming at Magic Island. Dad says that's where his dad used to take him surfing when he was a little boy. I am so glad Daddy took me there. It was beautiful, and the water felt great.

I was very sad to leave Hawaii, but Mommy and Daddy tell me that we will go back next year. I will be old enough then to eat some of Daddy's favorite foods. He says that's the best part. I am so lucky to have so many people that love me so much. I love my Hawaiian Ohana, and can't wait to see them all soon. Aloha-

Cali's first shots

2008-09-19T12:31:00.009-04:00

I took Cali to see Dr. Summers earlier this week. Del was sick and in bed, so Cali and I were on our own. I was really nervous, with all

the negative publicity about vaccines these days. Her doctor was very reassuring, and knowing that all the shots are single dose and no preservatives, we went ahead with all the scheduled vacs. She did really well. A little crying, but no reaction afterwards. Sometimes children run a fever, or get a little sick for a couple of days. She now weighs 11 pounds!! Almost twice as much as when we brought her home. She is really growing fast. - Alison

Cali's Debut

2008-09-14T11:16:00.005-04:00

This weekend we had a big time! My Grandma Debra's friends hosted my debut party at the Tampa Bernina store. Boy was it fun! Everyone brought me books for my library and just went on and on about how pretty I am. We had cake and punch and everything!!! Mom said I was very well behaved. (Wouldn't you be too for presents?) I cannot wait until Mommy and Daddy read me my new books. Thank you to everyone who attended; especially to Ms. Shirley and Ms. Susie for hosting. We spend the whole weekend with Gma Debra and Gpa Gregor. Mom says we are going to Hawaii in a couple of weeks, I wonder if it's as nice as Tampa??

first trip to the beach

2008-09-01T17:20:00.010-04:00

Oh boy did I have a big weekend! Mom and Dad took me to the beach for the very first time. We visited Siesta Key just off Sarasota, Florida. Granpa Gregi and Granma Debra came and met us for the night. We even took Mimi. The weather was really nice Friday, but Saturday was cloudy because of Hurricane Gustov. Daddy played with me in the ocean and I loved it! But it did taste funny. Dad was real upset that Hawaii played so horrible against Florida, but Mom was glad Georgia won even though we couldn't watch. We had fun. http://www.productsunshine.com/calipages/first_time_beach_video.html
