One of my dreams (or wishes or goals or whatever you want to call it) is to become a professional photographer! I love taking pictures! I love looking at pictures by professional photographers. I love taking photos of my boys and anything else I think is interesting! I hope one day that someone will look at my pictures with as much interest as I take interest in. Until that day arrives enjoy the photos of Baby Kai!
The first week of summer vacation saw us heading down to Santa Barbara to enjoy some time at the Zoo. My boys love this place. They have a great playground, nice large areas to pack and lunch and enjoy the weather, and so much more to see each time we go! If you want to make a day trip to the Zoo let us know and we will be there!
We purchased a Slip N' Slide a few weeks ago and Kale was very much looking forward to learning what to do on on this new thing we kept talking about called a Slip N' Slide. We set it up and let Kale play but since he didn't really know what to do Mommy just had to go put her swimsuit on and show him how to do it. Notice the first photo Kale is doing such a nice job covering Mommy! Baby Kai loved playing in the water too! Mommy had a blast teaching Kale how to use the Slip N' Slide correctly. However, over the next few days I had muscles that ached that had not been used in some time! Anyone out there looking to change up the workout routine they have in place try using a Slip N' Slide!
Last month, we are went down to Pasadena down for a day trip (Mommy, Baby Kai, and Grandma attended a scrapbooking convention while Daddy and Kale hung out together, saw a movie, and shopped a little too!) Before heading home for the day we stopped by and visited with our friends, the Ettengers! Kale and Syndey enjoyed each other's company and I think from the photos you can see who was being a "ham" and who was thinking "wow, that guy's crazy!"
Last month Baby Kai finally reached a new milestone! He is old enough and weights enough to face forward while in his carseat! The photos are a few images of his first car trip while facing forward. Notice how happy he seems to be and I love the hair flying!
The last weekend of May, we celebrated our friend Tonya's birthday with a beach party at Aliva. We had a blast and it was fun getting out with the boys and seeing many of Kevin and Tonya's students having fun together at the beach. This picture is of Martin holding Baby Kai. Martin was one of Kevin's wrestlers who is home for the summer from college. He just finished his first year at San Francisco State and he also wrestled for the school. We are proud of his hard work and it is fun having him home this summer. The boys love Martin!
Kale found all the cooking tools and decided that he wanted to cook for us. His creations, however, did not look at interesting or at least no one was brave enough to try such as sand-rolled watermelon!
