Ismael and Grandma at Dino Mountain at the Wild Animal Park in Escondido, CA.
Ismael hitching a ride from Grandma around the pool.
This was the 1st day with his Tiger Woods golf clubs. He was so excited to have "real" clubs.
On their way to the golf range for the 1st time. Ismael was so excited he could hardly contain himself. Now he's hooked...
Outfit complete with the 'must-have' Titlist golf hat. 
Thomas the tank engine was visiting KS, so Ismael and cousins went to 'spend a day with Thomas'.
Ismael and Drew (3 yrs old), Quinn (5) and Cole (2 weeks).
This was Ismael's Mercury costume he made at school. They've been learning about the planets and sang the Spaceship song for the pre-K graduation last Friday.
Tonight we made rocketships in the play room out of the sofa pillows. It's complete with KU basketball (throw blankets) fire coming from the rocket....
For Memorial Day extended weekend we went to the Wild Animal Park. Here we are checking out "African Safari".
Ismael's new feat is being able to go under the water. He won't leave the scuba mask on, so he holds it to his face and bites on the mouth piece to keep it in place.
We've even been throwing the toypedos back and forth under the water. He's gotten pretty good, so he can stay under for quite a few seconds.
Mom went to AZ to visit Travis, so we decided to crash the party. Ismael had a blast at this train park...but was there really any doubt he'd like it?
The mini size train...
And of course feeding the ducks at Tio Travis' apartment.... sorry for the poor quality of the video, need to change my settings.
As most of you know, we moved in March to a great house with a solar powered heated pool! So of course, we spent every weekend in the pool and even some evenings. It's great for wearing him out! At first he was still pretty shy with the water, but he's gradually become more and more brave as you will see!
Ismael loves the new house and still insists on 'helping' me whenever possible. He's still handy with the tools!
After church on Easter, we had a great Easter egg hunt through the house and backyard. The Easter bunny did a really good job at hiding those eggs...I thought he'd never find them all. Of course, he does have the male gene of not being able to see what is right in front of him...
This is the one and only time he has used the floaties. We'll save them for visitors though...hint, hint. The toypedo is a favorite in the pool by all.
Another new pasttime is golfing, but still has a long way to go. Here he's using the putter to drive the ball. At least his eye's are on the ball...
And finally, this was his way of helping me prepare for a garage sale. Anything to keep him busy.
While everyone in KS spent spring in the cold, we were enjoying playing at the beach. Yes, we even went after church in our good clothes! Of course, I didn't let him get down and dirty...
That was reserved for eating cake batter... licking the spoon is a new favorite of his. (I know my mom will be shocked!)
Jan. 2nd we went to see Mickey again. Not much new there.
