Bubbles

Jason left for San Francisco today. Gabby & I hung out with Nana, Bukka & Hannah most of the day. We visited "the farm" for breakfast and checked out all the animals. Gabby did NOT like the turkeys. Then we went downtown to watch bicycle races. While downtown we got a tour of the firehouse - including a peek inside the ambulance and fire truck. We wrapped up the day with some bubbles in Nana & Bukka's backyard.

First Visit to the Splash Pad

And she loved it!

Gabby has been begging for weeks to visit the splash park across the street from Nana & Bukka's house. Sunday was a beautiful day and she got her wish. She had a blast! And she got more daring each time she ventured into the water.

Happy Birthday Bukka!

We recently helped celebrate Bukka's birthday.

Gabby loved helping blow out the candles.

The Terrible Twos?

Mom made a polka dot flip flop cake. Yum!

Time to sing

Me & my Oma. We share a birthday - she's 91.
We had cake & sang "happy birthday" together.

Meg (my sitter) threw me a party.
Her boys - Gabe & Ben are my buddies.

Gabby turned two on May 6th. She enjoyed all the festivities - especially loved having the birthday song sung to her. And pretty much right on cue the "terrible twos" arrived. She's been extremely independent and frequently irritable & moody. Her response to any and every question is "NO!"
We think Spring has finally arrived here. This week was warm & sunny, which means we've been spending lots of time outdoors.

Fun in the Arizona Sun

Arrived in Scottsdale on Saturday. Nothing on the agenda but the pool & the park. Gabby is having much fun. Jason & I weren't sure we'd make it here... Gabby was throwing up at 3am the morning of our flight. Was our first vomiting incident with her and it was quite disgusting! We said a few prayers as we went back to bed and when we woke in the morning she was her normal, perky little self. Whew!

Gypsy Girl

This is what happens when she picks out her own clothes?! Daddy was brave enough to walk around the block with her dressed like this. She's a very "creative" little girl.

Cousins

Let's e-mail Camila!



A few weekends ago Gabby and I took the train to Chicago to visit Jason while he was working a show. We were able to spend an evening with Ava & Quentin. The cousins had great fun playing together. Favorites included chasing each other up & down the hallway, and playing "sack of potatoes" with Matt & Jason. We snapped the pic of the three of them on the front porch while waiting for a taxi.
