Happy Birthday: U.S.A = 237 years and London = 1 year!!!

Hey all of my red, white and blue HAPPY 4TH to you Peeps!!! So today is superly duperly exciting, not only did you see fireworks this evening for the great independence of Our beautiful Country but it is also... Mama don't get all teared up... my FIRST Birthday! Yes my independent Peeps, I was officially ONE at 2:31 this afternoon!!! Time flies when you have so many adventures in one year, I am amazed at how fast time has flown right on by!

I decided that I needed to dress up for this very Special Day, I mean you only turn 1, one time on the 4th of July! Thus, I told Mama today was a star tie worthy sort of day!

Then Mama and Daddy gave me this wavy thing called the Flag... Props to Betsy Ross for an impressive job in sewing it!

Wait just a firecracker second! Mama! Betsy Ross did not sew this Flag, unless Mrs. Ross puts UPC labels on the back of her sewing projects!

Between wishing me a Happy Birthday a gazillion times, Mama and Daddy also taught me about the holiday, 4th of July. I learned how important it is to respect Our flag... hence me giving the flag a kiss... 

And then I learned how to roll my little Betsy Ross flag up... you smooth it out...

And then roll.

And then for the fireworks!!! Fireworks for me and for Our Country! I have the most fun Birthday ever!!! Hey Mama and Daddy, can you move a little to the left with the cameras? I am trying to watch the Macy's Day Firework Spectacular on NBC.

My hat goes off to all those who have fought and still fight for Our independence and freedom. So from  London to all of you, thank you and Happy Birthday!

Now, I am going to let Mama and Daddy say a few words... but just on this one blog Folks! London, this time last year, we finally got to hold God's most beautiful miracle. You are the absolute joy of Our lives. You have given us the opportunity to experience this life again through new eyes. We get to find happiness in the small things, like watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse multiple times everyday. We feel like you are teaching us new things all the time. Mommy and Daddy have never known a love this deep for someone or something and this love is for you. We pray everyday for you and thank the Lord that He has given us a bundle of sweetness that can't be compared. Thank you London for being the light in Our lives. We are blessed to be your Mama and Daddy. Hugs and loves Baby Boy and a very Happy Happy 1st Birthday!

Yo, Ho! Yo, Ho! Two More Weeks to Go!!!

Hey all of my Pluto and Mickey pillow pal lovin' Peeps! Well, it is official... my very FIRST trip to the Happiest Place on Earth (that would be the 'Ol Disneyland) is exactly 2 weeks from today! WOW, I am getting so Mouska-riffically excited to meet the REAL Mickey and Pluto!!! 

I began to ponder what I would say to the most Famous Mouse when I meet him... I mean what do you say to the greatest star on Earth? 

Or maybe I will not say anything (I mean I may not be saying a whole lot of words in two weeks) so perhaps I will wear my Mouska-Ears and just wave like this. 

But suddenly my morning of planning my convo with Mic was halted when I heard Mama singing...

"Yo, Ho! Yo, Ho! It's a Pirate's Life for Me!" Mama reminded me of one of the rides at the park I hope I can go on... can you guess which one it is?

Pirates of the Caribbean... you are quick... let me guess, my Little People Pirate Ship gave it away? 

With Mama singin' and Daddy hesitating not a single second to jump right in, I knew it was my turn to show my folks what being a pirate really looks like... Give me two shakes of a pirate parrot's tail feather...

Now that is more like it! 

What do you think Buckaneer???

I really was getting into the spirit of the Caribbean Pirates... I wanted to know what else would make me more like them...

I Got it! Missing teeth! You can't blame the pirates, I am sure none of them had dentists who were aboard their ships (or had the right insurance benefit package), so missing teeth was most likely a given. I have a ton of missing teeth, I actually only have 6 teeth to be exact... ARRRR Mate!

And I am positive that pirates owned puppies... and I have Patches! I am such a natural born Pirate.

Between the striped pirate ship romper, red bandana, missing teeth and Patches... I would say that I am more than ready to meet these Pirates that live in the Caribbean!

Aww... only 14 more days until Disneyland... my countdown begins... "Yo, Ho! Yo, Ho! A London Pirate's Life for Me!"

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!
