The London Maui Fund!

Aloha all of my beach bum peeps! How's it all going? I am doing awesome, Mahalo for asking! So this is a very special week in the 'Ol Guerra Residence; it was this very week only two years ago that Mama and Daddy were in Maui!!! I felt like I needed to dress up in my Luau attire to celebrate!

This is my Mama and Pops in Maui... some pretty rad tans you folks got goin' there! Look at those two love birds, so tan and so in love!

Now this was a super duper special trip because they were celebrating getting married! September 1st was Mama and Daddy's 2nd Wedding Anniversary!!!

I knew I had to do something spectacular, besides dressing hawaiian-like, to make this week awesome for the Parentals.

Ta-Da!

I hear that Mama and Daddy's most Special Day- aside from having Me- was a FairyTale in real life! I am just imagining what Mommy and Daddy's biggest party ever was like...

A FairyTale Party would have to have a "Storybook" for their Guests...

Mama and Daddy's FairyTale Day would've had to have had amazingly twinkling lights, fun bubbles and a cast full of loving family and friends!

What's a party without cake?

And every Storybook Fairytale always, always, did I say always? Has an enchanting "True Love's Kiss"!!!

If I know my Mama and Daddy like I am sure I do.... What I imagined their Day to be was exactly what it was and more!!! And then to top off their "Day" with a trip to Maui that I hear included but was not limited to... Poi eating Luaus...

Fancy schmancy tiki torch lit Resorts...

A Road to Hana drive...

Mommy crossing old rickety bridges on her way up to the tallest waterfall on the island...

Making it to the tallest Waterfall on the island...

Simply watching beautiful sunsets over the crystal clear beaches...

Daddy snorkeling in the aqua ocean while Mama was "happy, happy, happy" taking pictures from the white sand...

Mama getting very excited over Daddy getting her a venti Starbucks insulated sippy cup from Hawaii...   and those were just a few awesome adventures the folks had on their celebratory vacation! If you would like to give to the "London Goes With Parents to Hawaii Fund" you can send cash or check to my crib located in the Forest Friends Room... it is the one with the vinyl tree on the wall.

Happy 2nd Wedding Anniversary to the best Mama and Daddy a kid named London James Guerra could ever have! 

I was just wondering Mom and Dad... do you think maybe the next time y'all head over to the land of Alohas and Mahalo's maybe I could join in on the adventures that the island life has to offer???

I already have my outfit picked out... I am ready to go when the cash and checks start flooding the 'ol crib-ster! 

Dedicated... Everyone Should Be!

Hey all of my Ninja Turtle shirt wearin', Cousin Jake is visitin', Church attendin' Peeps! So a few Saturdays ago I had an adventure that was so super awesome for Me and Mama and Daddy... I got dedicated to God!

I wasn't quite sure how preparing for this particular occasion would look like, but fortunately for me, my Cousin Jake was in town for the celebration, and he had already been dedicated; so I decided to follow his advice on how to prep and what I needed to do. 

I was like, "Hey Cuz, so do you think I would be able to bring my remote control to the dedication?Sometimes my remote helps me keep focused."

And then Cousin Jake was like, "The screens at church are not controlled by that remote Cuz, they do not have Disney Junior running on the big screens." And I was like, "Dude, that would be so awesome if they did." So then I asked my Cousin if it would be appropriate to bring my simple, not too large activity ball.

Cousin Jake was like, "Well, show me how pocket sized this pocket ball is."

He proceeded to tell me that it would be way too much of a distraction at the Dedication and that it was definitely not pocket sized.

OK, I thought, maybe Cousin Jake would think my Mickey block would be small enough to bring in tow... Cousin Jake's response, "I don't think so Bro."

While watching Monsters, Inc. my Cuz told me that Papa Rich would do all of the talking and then he will also talk to God and then I would be Dedicated!

"Hey Jake, do you think Papa Rich talked to God for Sulley?" Cousin Jake's answer, "Definitely."

Gettin' dressed in my collared shirt and ready for church time!

The big moment finally arrived, the time I would be dedicated. I decided to take my Cousin's advice on this one and leave my fav toys at the home front. I actually made the decision to take a nap during this time, that way not to be too noisy or wiggly. 

I'm so glad Mama decided to forget the Tom shoes for the mere fact that my toes sweat super bad and then they tend to get a lil' smell like they have been in Nike running shoes for about 5 hours and they even get like raisins. Look at my Papa Rich preaching and dedicating me... He is the best preacher in the whole world; if you ever have the opportunity to hear him preach any one of the Gospels I highly recommend it, he may even dedicate you! Amen.

At this celebration, I even received my very own, very first B-I-B-L-E! That's the Book for me!

Here is my Mama and Daddy and Papa Rich and my Noni talking to God. I love Jesus and I am going to grow up and tell everyone how awesome it is to love Him!

Right as we walked off the stage, I woke up. I knew at that point it was totally cool to be wiggly. Sorry Daddy, my cool hat is covering your cool smile. Here I am going, Ta-Da and raise the steeple ... This one year old is dedicated! 

So many Peeps were capturing this moment that at one point Mama, Daddy and I were all looking at different cameras! Kinda funny.

Here we have 2 out of the 3 of us focusing... I knew I should have brought my remote control.

Folks, we need a Kodak moment with all 3 of us facing forward at one camera... ignore the other flashes...

Bingo! Was his name-o.

I was starting to get pretty hungry after taking a nap and a trillion pics... the paparazzi caught me thinkin' about my winner winner chicken dinner... mmmmmm...

But before we were off to go eat, my Grimm-stone from the Flinstones, my Noni, Auntie Lindsay, Papa Rich and Cuz Jake were asked by Me via my Mama and Daddy to take a Family pic commemorating my Dedication... high five to the 8 of us Peeps!

As we made Our way past the alter, Daddy asked me if I would like to have my first lesson on operating a video camera... 

Dedicated and learned how to be a world renowned director in one evening.

I was born to run this!

Spielberg, here comes London!

Just when I thought it was time to make our way to Tahoe Joe's to watch everyone eat a steak, the Paparazzi found another location to capture my darling face in... up on stage!

It was a super special evening for Me and for Mama and Daddy; for multiple reasons. This was the night that I was dedicated to the Lord; nothing beats living my life for Him and having Daddy and Mommy teach me about His amazingness. To have my Papa Rich dedicate me in the very Church that God called Papa to build up, expand and to lead for well over a decade meant a ton to me. And to have my Noni, my Grimmi, my Auntie Lindsay and Cousin Jake there with Daddy, Mama and I was the best!

I am a super blessed Little Boy to have a super amazing Family who love me and Mama and Daddy and who are dedicated in helping to teach me about Jesus and the joy and awesomeness there is in living my life for him! 

Hey Papa Rich, here I am practicing my preaching style... what do you think?

Life lesson #1... Jesus loves you!

Spaghetti and Eggs... It's Real Man Food!

Hey all of my parmesan cheese, al a dente noodle, eggs and ketchup lovin' Peeps! So when you turn one, eating becomes glorious! You actually get to eat "real human food" (definition of "Real Human Food"- food that has some lumps in it and does not come in a jar with another baby's face on it); I mean if I just look at Mama and Daddy and bat my baby blues at them, they give me a bite of just about anything they are chowing down on! This did not happen until after I turned numero uno! I think they trust that I can chew better with my new and shiny seventh tooth!

So the first real human dinner that Mama made for me was her slow cookin' spaghetti. The aroma of this meal is incredible. The house smelled of sweet tomatoes and fresh basil!

Mama and Daddy clearly did not think that I could keep my clothing clean on this meal adventure...

 Have they met me? I am the cleanest eater y'all will ever meet. Just a little sauce on the ol' face, and that was it.

Mama your spaghetti was fantastico! I ate the whole bowl of spaghetti and got mighty thirsty!

The following day, I felt like I needed to go for a swim to work off a lil' of my large portioned Italiano, scrumptia-deli-umptious dinner...

But after my swim, I felt like I needed some "real human food" that was high in protein to grow my musculatory system big and strong...

Spinach? No. My name is not Popeye. So... anyways.

Eggs? Now we are talkin'! 

The last I heard about eggs was back during Easter time; I was pretty young back then and did not realize how multi-talented an egg can be. An egg can be colored, an egg can be scrambled, an egg can even give birth to yellow birds. 

Mama scrambled these eggs for Daddy and Myself with some ketchup on the side...

 Eggs-actly what this growing tot was thinkin'!

The next thing I learned when eating real human food is that brushing your seven teeth becomes extremely important!

Your Tigger Oral-B toothbrush, when accompanied by water and a pea sized dot of toddler toothpaste, helps your breath not smell like spaghetti and eggs.

I wonder what kind of food my eighth tooth will bring my way?
