Two Years Old

I had a wonderful birthday yesterday! Mommy and I met daddy on base for a snack and fun at the playground. This resulted in a very productive naptime. We all went to Chuck E. Cheese for some dinner, games and rides. With all my options, I was most excited about swiping the token card through the slots on each game and watching the balls come down the alley when mommy and daddy were playing Skeeball. The day ended with some very thoughtful gifts, candles and cupcakes.

Happy Birthday, Marine Corps!

In celebration of the 233rd birthday of the Marine Corps yesterday and Veteran's Day today, mommy and daddy had a big night out last night. Usually they attend a Marine Corps Ball every year but since daddy's stationed with the Navy, that wasn't an option. Instead, they got a stretch limo with all the Marines they could gather and headed up the coast to Santa Barbara. The bond that connects these men is quite amazing! Needless to say, the locals had all sorts of questions as they headed down the streets, taking over one bar after another.

Surprise for Grandpa!

This week mommy and I flew to Colorado to surprise Grandpa Boven just for fun. He was so surprised he was actually speechless. We did all sorts of fun things around town! Grammy wanted to celebrate my birthday so we had a special time of opening gifts. The FisherPrice Noah's Arc was packed so well that it took us a while to get all the pieces out of the box. I am really excited about my new toys! Even though I missed Max and daddy, I was so happy to spend with grammy and grandpa.
