Boating on Hogan

After raining Saturday and Sunday, the weather cleared enough to warrant a maiden voyage on Monday. Bryan, Dawn, Alli, Cruz and Lucio all headed up to Hogan. I almost no-showed, (for some crazy reason I stayed up all night crying over a heartbreaking movie I watched) but thank goodness they agreed to pick me and Kaydie up later, because we had a really great time. The three owners! Dawn, Cruz, and Bryan:I'm wearing my serious face as I get a turn driving the boat... (yes, Cruz is holding on to the buoy trying to keep his balance as I check out the turning capabilities of this big boat)
I'm used to the jet boat and being very very low to the water... It's really awesome driving a boat where you sit so high - you can actually SEE!!
Alli had a great time playing with my camera - she got some super cute pictures of everyone!
"spelled with a backwards L"
Glamour shot!
Kaydie slept in her arms...

Ahhh the wind! (Click on this picture to enlarge it - see if you can see Kaydie's top two teeth)


Bryan - one week "post Nair" experiment.
Dawn LOVES her boat. (and we all LOVED her cookies!)
Kaydie didn't freak out at all...
But she did have some very irritated looks on her face.

Mommy's girl

little shopper girl...

Kaydie does so well in the basket shopping with mommie!

She really likes when we shop for clothes though... Here is a flower for Auntie Som Som!
Wanna share my toy?

(Kaydie loves putting things in other people's mouths now. She's a great sharer!!!)

My new toy!

Mom's a little out of it tonight, pardon her lack of a real smile...
Mom picked up this cool new toy for me - it's a car and there's lots of interactive buttons and knobs for me to play with.

I don't really like it yet though...
It's a little advanced for me (it's got a blinker and tells you if you are turning right or left!!!)

Playing around my room

Mom and me have lots of fun playing around in my bedroom...
Busted! Playing with the door stop... boiiiiiing! oops! bumped my head or bit my lip (I can't remember). Gosh Mom, put down the camera and come HOLD ME!!!!!! WAHHHHHH!
Mmmmmm, fresh grown strawberries out of mom's garden...
Gnaw, gnaw, gnaw... PUSH, and ESCAPE!!!!!!

Queen Kaydie

Queen Kaydie, surrounded by her loyal subjects...

" Mr. Bear, you have displeased the queen..."

Such a colorful group of constituents...Isn't she majestic? (I can see her great grandma in her in this picture!)
Naked Baby! (I love those buns!)

Dinner w/David & Vanesa (and Rickson!)

Meet my newest friend - His name is Rickson!

He is really nice - he gave me a ride on his shoulders! Mom made me 'take a nap' while everyone ate dinner. (I decided not to sleep and made sure that everyone knew I felt left out by yelling at them. After mom gave in and got me, I did a victory dance at the table...) Then I got to play with David, the doggy and the kitty...and Nes played with me after Rickson finished up his bathtime...
Then I was soooooo tired...
And my friend Rickson had to go to bed too...
So we headed home (I slept all the way)... Thanks for having us over!

swimming again...
