the cement slide

 All the neighbors leave their cardboard boxes at the park in hopes that someone will use it for the fastest slide down the rough cement.

 Brett had some hope on this ride.....

 But the rookie lost his cardboard.....

 They had better luck with this one!

Fun times with Grammy

Grammy Jan came to visit this weekend- what fun! The kids were so excited to spend time with her and we are thrilled for L & T to be making memories with their Grammy! Thanks for coming Grammy!

PS- This is shot near the bay in Redwood City Port...looks like a faraway place, but it's minutes from Menlo Park!

The Holidays are quickly upon us....

Nana + Papa = timeless memories

Grandparents trip

We headed for Chicago at 5:00am via San Jose Airport, this after Mom was on three hours of sleep from her photography trip to Denver.....more on that later.....

Lu and Thatch were so excited to see Nana and Papa and "can we ride Nana's tractor?" was asked on the 5 hour plane trip about 500 times. It was great- we hung out with family and tried to just chill and take a vacation. 

We went to Lake Geneva, WI and hung by the lake for a few days- Linden got into the lake and had a great time with Emery, Eric and Melissa's dog ( her new best friend).

Looking forward to many more vacations with family for years to come.

Linden in Disney = one HAPPY Mama

Linden was SO excited about Disneyland. It was a magical trip and seeing her sheer excitement and wonder was worth all the hordes of people. She loved the charcter breakfast and the rides, oh the rides.....Space Mountain was her fav and she wanted to do Tower of Terror- and I didn't. That pic is coming soon....

We had a great time and I know she will remember it FOREVER! Which makes ME happy! 

Video and more pics to come.
