collecting rocks at baker beach

just taking it all in
so cute! and what a view, hah.

here is our little rock collector. he loves finding sea glass (ever since grandmama showed him her collection), unique (or "cool" as he would say) rocks, or big flat ones to paint.

ryder's birthday circle

we celebrated ryder's 5 1/2 year old birthday on january 25th at his preschool. he was so excited and has been looking forward to this day all year long. he was so worried he wouldn't have a birthday circle because of his summer birthday, but his teacher is so in tuned with these 5 year olds, she did a half birthday for ryder!
this is his 1/2 candle that he walked around the circle of friends with, while each student quietly whispered "happy 1/2 birthday ryder, we love you". oh man, it was the sweetest thing ever and ryder had a smile across his whole face......priceless!!!!
the birthday kid brings in gifts for his friends (what a clever idea, huh). ryder brought everyone a match box car, and bubble tubes.
"this little birthday light of mine......"

jumping from the land of 5 to the land of 5 1/2

slumber party with toby

on thursday night ryder and i had a slumber party with laura and toby! as always, it was fabulous.

getting the game "clue" ready to play. it was a bit different than the original game, but was still really fun to play, especially with two hilarious 5 year olds!

rain rain go away!

well winter in san francisco is certainly getting old! rain, rain and more rain! we finally got a break and headed to the park....yay:)
this is their fav way to swing
ryder and his sour grass (an edible weed that seems to be everywhere, and ryder is always looking for it.....it's hilarious!)
