The Safety Inspector says...

Watch Out!

and have a nice day.

Mudding

 It was one of those days.

I needed to get the girls out of the house but I refused to get in the car again.

So we headed to the stream by the house.

It dwindled as the raining season has not started yet.

 A local egret.  Beautiful birds.

 Tromping in the mud while mama watches from afar.

 The only thing better than playing in mud is falling in mud.

We finished the outing with a walk in the Eucaliptis grove.

The girls protested walking so far while wet and muddy but finally obliged.

More random photos. Some old. Some new.

 Happy Morning.

 Have you seen a small mouse?

 Day in San Diego.

Smells like heaven.

 That is what little sisters are for.

 So pretty.

" Mom, I'm doing Daddy's work."

Yea for girls who fasten their own buttons!

More random pictures.

 More babies in socks.

 These girls are to die for.

 A moment to brag.  I grew these.
Okay, really I watered them.  They grew themselves.

 Em is a super reader.  Technically still emergent but everyday she is better.

Random moments.

 Sweet girls after church.

 They are no longer in the same ballet class. 

It was time for Emily to advance.

 I don't mind twice the ballet but I miss there little interactions.

 Swing away.

 I love this picture by Emily. 

 Em begged for a picket knife.  I finally gave in.  She still has all of her fingers. 

Little moments.

 I love having time just me and #2.  It has brought out a whole other side to this girl.

 We love a good game of mini golf.

 We happen to live near an exceptional course.

 Even our little enjoys chasing her ball around.

 Preparing the garden.

 "Who wants blueberries with breakfast?"

I love catching these moments between sisters.

The Fishing Derby

 We wouldn't miss one of our favorite things: the annual fishing derby.

 It is a beautiful site.

 With hot pink fishing poles.

 Lots of snacks and time.

 Plenty of winks.

 Plenty of worms.

Happy Day.

Camping in the Redwoods.

 Colin and I had a bit of a vaca with out the girls.

 We hit a state park we had never been to.

 While small, Samuel P Taylor was a great destination.

 We drove through Marin county on the way to several honeymoon spots.

 Drakes Bay.  This picture does not show the amazing color.

The French Cheese Company for lunch.  Yum.  

We will do this again.
