Hola?

"Hola? Who's this?" I'm positive that I don't spend THAT much time talking on the phone, so I don't know where Kavella picked up her habit of animatedly conversing with an imaginary counterpart, complete with laughing, head-nodding and hand gestures. Okay, okay, I might spend some time on the phone, but it's usually on speakerphone--Jenn can attest to that since she always complains about not being able to hear me!

The waves were good down at Salt Creek, so we packed up and cruised down. The only thing that bugs me down there are, well, the bugs. There are all these piles of sea kelp that attract flies, which buzz around annoying all the patrons on the beach. Perhaps not all the patrons, but this one for sure!

Nope, no hair. We shaved her head, waxed her eyebrows and plucked her lashes. It was a lot of work--you try using tweezers that close to a 2-yr-old's eyes. Challenging!

Oh, delicious. Now my cupcake can make some cupcakes.

One day at D-land, Kavella and I rode the rocket ships (literally) 6 times in a row. Each time we'd land, Kavella would say, "gen (again)!" Why not?

Look at all that luscious hair blowing in the wind. Yes, Pantene Pro-V keeps those locks looking so shiny.

Ahhhhhh, best ride, ever. Since my daughter NEVER snuggles with me, I was delighted to discover her fear of the swinging ferris wheel! Delighted. Is that really so inappropriate? Really? Hold on to Mommy...mwah, ha, ha, haaa!

I know my Mom is going to hate this picture, but I think it is so cute! Why not throw on some snow boots right before your bath?

This was my attempt at making a blanket for Wyatt (Jenn's babe). I can improve drastically on the next blanket, but that will have to be some time from now--I need a rest. I wish I had someone to actually teach me how to sew. It'd be nice to have a Grandma or Mom or Mom-in-law or sister or sister-in-law guide me through some of these crafts....yes, that was a hint if you fall into any of those categories!

The gem of her eye, her absolute hero, perfect in every way, the most fun person in the world, can do no wrong--all of these describe Dad. You should see the way Kavella lights up when Dust is around.....usually. Sometimes, though, he can really get on her nerves and she has to do her baby choke-out move......

Just kidding--she was playing in the "rain" with Dust. Okay, it was more like a sprinkle, but you know how Californians are. ("We've been tracking this storm with our Doppler 700! It's currently 300 miles off the coast, but we're expecting heavy winds and lots of rain!" Turns out, it's a light misting and wind heavy enough to actually make the wind-chimes ding.)
