Deer Hollow Farm

Braden made friends with Luna the cow.  The teenager standing next to us refused to get close but Braden had a great time talking to her.

Checking out the goats.

Goofing around in a hollow tree stump on the walk back.

Oh TN, you must be so proud.

If there is any man that needs a vasectomy, it is this guy. I even support tax payers footing the bill. It will save money in the end. Watch the video first, and then read the article. The writer make some very funny points. Sometimes you just have to shake your head at human stupidity.

April: Part II

April was filled with great weather and we tried to take full advantage.

A wonderful warm beach day. We met friends there for our weekly playdate and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. We will have to hit up the beach more this summer.

Louis and I celebrated 10 years of marriage on the 12th. Can't believe it's been 10 years.

We drove up to SF and saw Beach Blanket Babylon. Louis had never been and I hadn't been in many years. Hilarious!!

We topped off the evening with excellent Italian food in North Beach.

We hung out a lot in the back yard.

Used the grill whenever possible. Something else I plan on doing a lot more this summer.

Warm weather = popsicles

Warm, sunny evenings at the playground.

We took a lot of long walks, discovering nature (like fuzzy caterpillars!) along the way.

All of my kids are true animal lovers and know all the neighborhood cats and dogs. This kitty always comes out to great us from a house next to the Stevens Creek Trail

It's great to hitch a ride on the long walk home.

The kids watched two batches of butterfly life cycles. Caterpillar to cocoon, to hatching into a butterfly.

We dog sat Mochi the beagle.

He made himself at home.

Braden Loves His Green Shirt and A's Hat

Braden told us his favorite color is green. So yesterday, I got him a new Google shirt in green from the company store. Here's how awesome he looks. He also won't put down his A's hat. He wears it so often, Kristine ran in through the laundry on Sunday, and it was hard to find a time he wasn't wearing it. (Animation automatically done on Google+.)

Genes

People are always telling Louis that Braden looks just like him. 

Really? I disagree.

What do you think?

Braden- 2 years, 3 months

2 years, 8 months

 Me- 2 years

3 years

4 years

How is Grover not cute

on this little tushy?

April Part I

Louis celebrated his 36th birthday on the 8th. We had a family celebration at home. I actually cooked dinner and our friend Drew came over.

The kids helped me make an angel food cake from scratch, per Louis' request. It was quite tasty and colored Android green.

Being the cool, awesome wife that I am, I combined Louis' two loves for his gift, Android and the A's. I found an artist on Etsy that makes custom Androids.  www.troymartinart.com Troy did a great job. He also does tatoos in case you are in the Modesto area. Anyone?

He created this little guy:

Isn't he cute?

Troy also made a custom t-shirt from his design so Louis' is set for this season's games.
