Slip and Slide

Just another lazy afternoon at Patrick's house. He has a big hill and being my first slip n slide experience...I loved it! whew! We giggled our way through the afternoon.

Jam Making

Mommy and her friend Kim canned for the first time! They used a low sugar pectin and made it with agave nectar. It's supposed to not raise or lower your glycemic index. How cool is that? Mommy pureed the berries as daddy wanted, but next time she'd leave big chunks of berries in it. It's absolutely delicious. When you come visit, maybe we'll let you try some! Kim and Mommy are now determined to can some more stuff this summer.




Strawberry Picking

Mommy's excited...can you tell?
ooo...yum. I'll just eat. You pick.


8 quarts successfully picked! Yummy.

our new toy

Daddy and I have a new toy. He says it's called an X-box. All I know is that I love our new rockband game and steering wheel to drive cars. It's awesome.

loving natalie

I have a new "girlfriend." Her name is Natalie. She lives next door. She's an older woman...maybe I can woo her one day. Right now, I'm okay with just plain stalking her.

We saw dolphins within a hundred yards of where we were playing on the beach...almost every day.





Growing Kayla

24 inches (54%)
**I love to stand, I'm almost sitting up, I'm rolling over non-stop
The doctor asked mommy if I was grabbing for things or holding things...mommy told him I liked to bat at them but wasn't into holding them. Boy was she wrong. I just prefer FUZZY items. Benji offered me the elmo he borrowed from Patrick, and I LOVED it. I will hold, chew on, smile at, slobber on..any soft cuddly thing.

Climing Climbing Climbing




We started doing "park days" in May with some of my friends. This was one of the first ones. Lucas and I decided to climb way up this hill and roll all the way down. We had a blast!
