This little girl is quiet… she lies in wait and then… she is into something, or everything! She lulls you into a false sense of security!
Look at that face… it just screams trouble!
She climbed in the doll bed and then just played with anything within reach… including Jeff’s sneaker.
She decided she wanted to go for [...]

We have been enjoying our passes for the Oakland Zoo… it is close enough that I am willing to drive there myself, and there are rides and a park for Sophie. It is also not so big that we get too tired and cranky before we see everything. A couple weeks ago Liz and I [...]

My best friend from high school got married this last Saturday. It was a beautiful day, and I was so, so happy that I could be a part of it all. Vi and I flew out to Utah Thursday night, and back Sunday morning… it was a fast trip, but I got to participate in [...]

Jeff headed up to High Adventure with his Teachers last weekend and Violet, helpful 10 month old that she is, decided to help load up the cooler. Alas, she was distracted by the massive piles of ice.
She sucked on that ice for a good 10-15 minutes. When the one chunk fell on the floor, she [...]

Actually, as always, this post is more about my kids, but the teenagers were there and so the title is not entirely untrue. Sophie was much more adventurous with feeding the animals this time, which was good, otherwise there is very little to do at the Little Farm section of the park. It was a little [...]

This summer we have done a couple new things, the joy of not working full time… though it does strain my creative mommy side a bit more than just planning afternoon naps and lunch! During a hot spell this summer (I know we had one, I just can’t remember it… oh California summer, why are [...]

Violet turned 10 months yesterday. I can’t believe how close we are getting to the year mark… she just isn’t a little baby anymore (totally sinking in with all the baby Dean time). She is getting more vocal, even though it is just sounds, she will say “mamamamama” and “mmmm” as well as sit in [...]

We drove down to LA for one of Jeff’s 9-80 days off… it was one of the only times we could see that we would be able to meet Baby Dean before his blessing weekend. So we tripped down to visit Sean, Rachel, Dean, as well as Andy and Daisy. It was a fun quick trip. [...]

Last night we had another fun session with Angela Chander. We had such a great time at Heather Farms. It is such a huge park and had so many cool places to take pictures, including a cute litte stream that Vi tried to stand in… oops. Anyways, Angela has posted her sneak peek of our [...]
