Farms and Trains

On Memorial Day Jeff’s mom wanted to take Sophie to Tilden Park in Berkeley.  We had a good time, the farm part is free, just remember to take celery or lettuce to feed the animals.  Sophie just had to watch them be fed.  But she loved it anyways.  The instant we got there she was [...]

Curls?!?!

So last Saturday I decided to try spongie curlers in Sophie’s hair. Whatever possessed me to put curlers in a 1 year olds hair is beyond me, but… I did it anyways. She sat surprisingly still. In fact, I put in all the curlers before she got bored and walked away. [...]

Giant Cupcake!!!

At work, for birthdays, the last person who had a birthday buys the next person their cake. So my poor friend Judith has been after me for 3 years, and only last year was she lucky enough not to have me attempt being cute and clever on her birthday. This year I tried [...]

In Memorial of…

As it is the week of Memorial Day, I feel the need to honor a group of people who fell recently at the hands of tyrants and accused criminals.   The Jazz lost in the playoffs, again, and once again to a team I cannot tolerate to save the life of me.  But Sophie got to [...]

Our little helper

One Saturday Jeff got up the energy to ask his brother to come over and help clean up the garage.  We have a huge 2 car garage that only fit one car.  So Justin and Jeff cleaned and organized, and now our garage looks awesome, and houses our treadmill, so our extra room has, well, [...]

First bike ride

A little catch up…
For Sophie’s birthday Jeff got a bike seat so that they could go out on rides together.  Before we left for the DR we got it all set up and Sophie ventured out on her first ride.  We had gotten her a bike helmet a while ago, and she loved it, she [...]

My cute husband…

So my birthday was, well last month, but my cute husband made reservations at Skates on the Bay in Berkeley.  It was a lot of fun, good food, beautiful views and sunsets and great company, April and J.M. came with, as April and I have the same birthday.  Thanks to my in-laws for babysitting the [...]

Dominican Republic, Part 3

Before I continue on with the last of our trip, here are some of the pictures from the waterfall slides… some with our guide, some of us jumping, some of us sliding, and others of us just in the water with our sweet helmets and life jackets.

Onward…
Friday we went up a tram, to the top [...]

Cupcake cuties!

Secondly, I present [...]

Dominican Republic, Part 2

So, the next day we went on a jeep tour. It sounded pretty cool. Drive through the Dominican country and then end the day at waterfalls, hiking and playing on the natural water slides. We were partly right, the last half was very cool… the first part was ok. The “jeep” [...]
