The New Alta Mesa Playground

On March 29th, my parents and Papa built a playground. It is in Alta Mesa Park. I have already played at it 2 times! Here is a group of most of the volunteers that also helped build the playground.

There are lots of places to play in this playground.

It all started with some ideas. Design day consisted of about 30 kids drawing up their plan own for their Dream Playground. Here is one of the designs.

Daddy and a few of the other Active 20-30 guys talking to Nate, the Kaboom representative, on Design Day.

Look at Daddy wearing the cowboy hat!! All the build captains wore unique outfits.

Here they all are!!!

Daddy's group of people put this slide together and attached it.

Look at this huge pile of wood chips that had to be distributed in the playground. It was really about 6 times this size at the beginning of the day.

Papa was on the "mulch" team. Here he is dragging a tarp full of wood chips.

Landon's Daddy Don helped put the Rock Wall together.

Mommy was on the Kids Activities team. Look at the ribbon the kids made for the ribbon cutting . It was really long!

Ready to play??

Elmo's first Quad Ride

My Auntie Christine babysat me today. She brought over Tarod's Elmo doll. My Auntie is so good to me. I decided to show him around the place... on my quad! Thanks for babysitting me today!

Visit from Uncle David

Tonight my Uncle David Read came into town to go fly fishing with Grampa Steve. He brought me a mega block tow truck with lots of blocks inside. He is super nice to think of me! I wasn't feeling to good and was running a fever, so I couldn't show him how I play baseball. I fell asleep right after he arrived. I hope I see him again soon!

The next day, I opened up the gift and enjoyed the blocks! The Tow Truck is so neat because I can make it tow my fire truck.

Drew Came Over

Drew Shaboo came over and we bounced 'til we couldn't bounce anymore. My cousin Hank had to go to the hospital because he had a double ear infection. I wish he was here with us!

My New Kanga Climber

My Uncie and Auntie gave me a Kanga Climber! It was Drew's when he was my age. I LOVE it!!! Daddy cleaned it and put it together for me today.

A few notes about today

Today was a great day. Not only did I get to go play at the park that my Daddy and Mommy built, but I said my nickname for the first time today. Yes! I said Dub-J and pointed to myself. Everyone was really excited!

My parents also helped me know how to swing my baseball bat by counting 1-2-3. Tonight at my cousins' house, I was swinging the bat and hitting balls that Mommy and Daddy pitched to me! I hit one after the other.

BBQ at Grace and Sarah's

We were invited to Grace & Sarah's house tonight for a yummy smoked BBQ. I was so happy to hang out with my friends. It had been too long!!! Maybe this summer we will see each other more.


Sarah and I colored on the driveway with chalk.

She was teaching me how to share.

Here's Riley taking a drive!












Sarah gave me a flower.
What a sweet baby doll.

I tried to give a flower to her, but she wanted me to follow her that way.










I got to eat at the kids table with Grace, Sarah, and Riley. I ate a whole bunch to impress this bunch of beautiful ladies!!!

Exploring Kids Kingdom

Mommy and I went to Kids Kingdom today. I have been here once before, but this time it was much cooler. I went all over the place!

Not too many people can fit in here.

There sure are a lot of stairs here. I'm in heaven!

Cheese!

I liked the water fountains a lot. I made Mommy take me to all three that I found, a few times! :)

Here I am about to go down a slide to Mommy.

Woo - a moving bridge. I'm not scared!

Hi Mommy, I'm coming to get you!

High Five!!

My Cousins

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to let everyone know that my Cousins Drew and Nathan have their own website now! Check out Drew on the hunt for the Easter Bunny at http://www.drewandnathan.blogspot.com/

Changes to Come

Mommy has decided to make my blog into a family blog. It should be great! You will start to see some changes.

Guess Who's Engaged!?!!?

For the Giants Home Opener, Crawdad (Keith) planned a special surprise for my Auntie Christine. During the 4th inning of the game, he proposed to her! He wrote a special message on the score board for everyone to see. While she was reading it, he proposed! Now he will really be my Uncle!!!

Before the proposal.

She said "YES"

Here I am with the happy couple! I wonder if they have a ring bearer in mind...

Giants Home Opener

Today was a special treat. My Mommy and Daddy took me to the Giants baseball home opener against the Padres. Unfortunately we lost, but I still had a good time.

After the long drive from Redding, we started the day off by tailgating. Here I am with Uncle Evan. He is helping me put my glove on so I can play catch.

Here I am people watching.

Daddy played catch with me, too!

Uncle Evan and me with AT&T Park in the background. I'm saying "Drew" right now. Drew is my cousin that couldn't be there. He was at school today.

There is a little baseball field outside the park. I had tons of fun running the bases and playing catch in there.

Look at the bay!

Here I am with MY Daddy. He'll make a great little league baseball coach someday!

My Auntie Christine met us at the park.

Along with the rest of the Fegley's.

After tailgating, we headed to the park to check it out and watch some Giants baseball.

I found this huge baseball glove to sit in. It was really neat. I felt like a baseball sitting inside it!

There is a miniature AT&T Park inside the stadium. Here I am in front of it. I got to go inside and bat off the tee. I even ran the bases (with Daddy's help). I threw a tiny fit when it was time to leave.

Next we went to the Build-a-Bear workshop. I picked out a Lou Seal to make. Mommy helped me pick out this heart for Lou Seal.

Here I am putting the heart in my Lou Seal. I thought he needed another one, so I picked out one more heart and put it into my Lou Seal.

After that, I was parched. This is the second Giants home opener that I slept through the fly-over. Daddy celebrated twice as much for me though.

During the game, I tried churros for the first time. It was yummy. I hear they taste a lot better in Disneyland though... hint hint.

Here I am relaxing on Mommy.

Uncle Evan let me wear his Policeman sunglasses. Don't I look cool?

After the game Mommy took a picture of the boys.

Here I am with Uncle Will from Placerville. I was hoping to see Jen this trip, but Will and I had fun anyway.

Afterwards, we tailgated a little bit. I played catch with Erik Fegley.

I love baseball!
