Celebrating the Awesomeness of my Daddy Day!!!

Hey all of my celebrating my Rad Dad, super thoughtful Peeps! It is official, my Daddy is the best, they even specified this particular day on the ol' calendar to celebrate him, it is called my Father's Day!!! WOW, my Pops has his own holiday, I knew he was awesome! And in honor of his awesomeness, I decided to have Mama dress me in my awesome Ninja Turtle Shirt 'cause my Dad is a huge fan of these four turtles. This shirt is for you Man!!!

But the modeling of the t-shirt wasn't enough for my Dad, no sir-e. I had to come up with something more, something better, something creative, something... Andrew James Guerra worthy!

And so my hunt began ... this is my serious hunting face.

This is not my serious hunting face.

And this is me calling for Mama 'cause I needed some help designing the perfect gift for Daddy! "Mama, what would my Father love for his special holiday?" Her answer, "Something from the heart... maybe put into words how you feel about Daddy." And I responded, "I will think of how I can put into words what I think of when I think of Daddy, but just a reminder Mama, I may need help writing it down on a piece of paper..."

  

So I spent the next few moments thinking of Daddy and how he is always there for me, and he has always been (we go way back), even back when I was born 11 months ago...

I remember this moment of Daddy holding me when I was just a wee Lad, and I knew even then, that my Daddy was something mighty special and AMAZING and that I got the BEST Father in the world... I knew A LOT when I was that small.

Awww... memories.

Now, to work. I am here reviewing what Mama wrote down on behalf of me... it is amazing how she knows exactly what I would have jotted down myself!!! 

Double checking the spelling of my name... yup, Mama got it right... London stamp of approval.

Well, here it is Daddy, from me to you Champ...

Thank you for all that you do for me and for Mama! We both love you with all of Our hearts and congrats on your own Holiday Dude! Happy Daddy's Day today and everyday!!!

Prepping for Party!

Hey all my gettin' ready and set to turn ONE and celebrate like it's 2013 Peeps!!! So it has been a bit since I have blogged an adventure, but that doesn't mean I haven't had one! It has been pretty busy with my Birthday coming up... Mama and Daddy have been creating so many fun things to make the day superly duperly special... thanks Folks!!! SO I decided that I needed to do my part, and knowing that there may be quite a few pics taken that day, I made the decision I needed to start working out and workin' on maintaining what my shirt says I am a "BEACH HUNK"!!!

I Got my Nike's...

My Ab roller...

And even an additional 2.5 pound weight on the roller... I'm feelin' ambitious, I guess that's what almost One year does to a man!

Daddy asked if I would like to borrow his dumb bell... and I told him it wasn't kind to call the bell dumb even if it doesn't know how to ring.

The Ab roller turned out to also be a great pull up bar for my chin ups...

Well, my chin didn't get pass the bar, but look folks I'm standing... you know what they say, small steps... well still trying to work those out.

This roller is fantastic, it even has a pillow for when you get exhausted. I'm feelin' the burn, Beach Hunk in the making!

In the midst of my heavy duty training, I spotted a piece of my work-out gear I forgot to put on...

I'm sweatin' Dodger Blue!

Mama, I got this, I have worn enough hats now that I can put it on by myself.

TA-DA!!! Backwards and all... and check out those biceps!

Now back to business. A couple hundred more reps... that's short for reputation... what Mama? Ohhhhh, thank you for that small correction... it is short for repetition. Life lesson #183.

My work-out is complete and afterwards we ran to the post office - we did not actually run, we took the Hyundai because I was too tired and I still have to learn how to run - to mail out my very special Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Invitations for my 1st Birthday Party!!! Beach Hunk is ready to Party MMC style!

Hot Dog Summer in the City... or in farm land!

Hey all my speedo wearin', towel layin', sunscreen smellin' Peeps! So it has been getting mighty warm up here in cow country and I began thinking, how can I stay cool through all of these crazy heat waves... and then it hit me like a two ton shark, I needed a pool!!!

It's not just any ordinary childish pool, no no! It has a slide, and awesome cartoon sea creatures printed on it like an octopus with a treasure chest and a snorkeling duck holding a cupcake, you know, the norm!

It took me a few minutes to get used to my cool new pool. I mean, aside from the new pool, I had to get used to my new ensemble which included Mickey trunks and a scuba Mickey rash guard... just in the event I felt like riding a wave. 

I was like, "Mama, where are all of the waves?"

When I did not see them roll in, I decided I was going to make my own!!! Those in the first 10 rows, look out... we call it the SPLASH ZONE!

I then began to ponder, I wonder if Mr. Phelps started his World Record holding Olympian Career in a pool with a snorkeling ducky holding a cupcake? The duck is very inspiring.

"Hey Mama, do you think I got what it takes to be an Olympian?" and of course she's over there already cheering me on like I am racing the World Record holder himself! Thanks for your support Mama.

Daddy told me after a bit it was time to climb out of my cool new pool 'cause my toes were getting wrinkly... 

... I did check them today and they are back to normal!

I'm like a shark, I'm like a lil' shark, I'm like a shark! I mean look at this face, it screams Jaws Junior... I bet he doesn't look this fierce while eating his oatmeal and organic pears! Breakfast of champions baby... look out Mr. Phelps here comes London "Jaws" Guerra!!!

My Daddy Has Heard "Happy Birthday" 30 Times!!!

Hey all of my card gettin', wishin' on a candle, cake eatin' (unless you can't eat cake yet), Birthday celebratin' Peeps! So my Pops' Big 3-0 Birthday Bash was over a week ago, sorry it has taken me a few days to publish a public Happy Birthday Wish Daddy-O, it has been pretty busy around here with lots of exciting things... more on that in the following posts! My Dad is now 30, and he is such an awesome 30 year old... I mean, look at him!

Hey Pops, just for your Birthday, I decided to think of some describing words just for you, I came up with 30 of them in honor of your 30th Birthday... Mama, can you jot these down for me? Thank you.

When I think of my Daddy, this is what I think (30 words begin now): Amazing, Kind, Giving, Loves Jesus, No Sleep, Beard, Duck Dynasty, Talented, Me and Mommy's Best Friend, Creative, Fun, Star Wars, Thoughtful, Outdoors Dude, Reading, World's Best Daddy, I Love You!

I hope you had a rad Birthday Dad, you deserve a rad day everyday. Hope you remembered to make a special wish on your Birthday candles... it's funny though, I haven't blown out a birthday candle and made a wish and yet my wish of having the most incredible Dad came true... because I have you!

I guess I am just a super blessed Kid! Happy Birthday Daddy!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game...

Hey all my home run hittin', hot dog eatin', strike pitchin' peeps! Tis' the season I hear for the Ol' American past time game of baseball! I know, I know I apologize I am a few weeks late in welcoming the start of it's season, but I am ready to go out on a limb on this one, and I am going to speak out in faith that my Daddy's favorite team, the Dodgers, is going to be in the World Series- that is a very important game, life lesson #192. So I wanted to impress my Old Man with my Dodger knowledge so I have been researching some of the awesome Dodger players of all-time. I am going to do a Top Ten List... you can call me London Letterman!

Note to y'all before we begin the countdown, these Dodger players are from the L.A. franchise not Brooklyn... Let us continue... Coming in at #10 is Kirk Gibson! Kirk only spent three years with the Dodgers but it has to be his World Series Homer that placed his team ahead 5-4 that helped to leave such a historic impact for him in relation to the Dodgers! Can we get an arm pump?

#9 on London's Top Ten Dodger players of all time is Mike Pizza... what was that Dad? Ohhhh, Piazza, my bad! Did you know that Mr. Piazza is the best-hitting catcher in baseball history?! That's something to be proud of!

I am getting motivated to learn this fascinating game! I even got my very own Louisville slugger out! Papa Rich got me my first Louisville and had my name put on it... I am totally like in the MLB! Getting back to our list, coming in at #8, is Fernando Valenzuela. Yea, the dude pitched a lil' funny but he did have a NO Hitter game against the St. Louis Cardinals and in 1986 he struck out five consecutive batters in the All-Star Game... perhaps his non-conventional way of pitching could be adopted by some.

I am getting so into this Baseball talk that I feel like I need to chew some gum like the major leaguers do... but I am still working on teeth so I will have to settle for my Dodger Paci. Uncle Ryan this Dodger is on the list for you Dude... #7 is Orel Hershiser. Let's go back to 1988, the guy was pretty much a solo act in carrying his team to the World Series title. Good choice in Dodger Heroes Uncle!

#6 on tonight's Countdown is Steve Garvey... not to be confused with Steve Harvey the comedian. Garvey was an EIGHT time All-Star and won FOUR golden gloves!

These guys were amazing at this game... I thought I was doing good at being able to pick the baseball up! Halfway through our list and placing in at #5 is Maury Wills. Wills is known for bringing stealing the bases back to the game... I wonder if he ever gave them back?

#4 on the list was not only a player for the Dodgers, he was a scout, coach and manager... if you guessed Mr. Tommy Lasorda than you win a high five because you are spot on Team Homerun!!! Lasorda REALLY liked this team! Random info, did you know that Tommy was the godfather to one of Piazza's brothers? Maybe a lil' family pull getting Piazza to bleed some Dodger blue, eh? 

The one and the only Vin Scully comes in at #3. Arguably the greatest sports broadcaster in history. He is known for his memorable calls, just the way he can phrase a play or a moment in a game can turn it nostalgic instantly. Scully once said, "I would come home to listen to a football game- there weren't other sports on - and I would get a pillow and I would crawl under the radio, so that the loudspeaker and the roar of the crowd would wash all over me, and would just get goose bumps like you can't believe. And I knew that of all the things in this world that I wanted, I wanted to be that fella saying, whatever, home run or touchdown. It just really got to me." 

#2 on London's researched and compiled list of greatest Dodgers, is Don Drysdale. Drysdale was a dynamic pitcher, he was half of a dominating pitching duo during the 1960s... just a lil' before I was born. #1 on the countdown...drum roll please... is the other half of that dominating pitching duo Mr. Sandy Koufax. Koufax is one of the best left-handed pitchers of all-time. Koufax led the Dodgers to two World Series titles. These guys make me feel exhausted just discussing their accomplishments!

I hope y'all enjoyed my Top Ten List of the Greatest Dodgers of All Times. Hey Daddy, are proud of all my Dodger knowledge? I can't wait to learn more about this game from you Pops! Maybe someday I will be in the Hall of Fame, but for now I will practice picking up my Dodger baseball and rolling it to my Dad... the Great's had to start somewhere!
