the sun has arrived in cali

this past week has been so beautiful here, 75 and sunny, just how we like it! quinn was just basking in the sun after a dip in the warm pool.

dan zanes in berkeley!

we finally had the opportunity to see one of our favorite musicians, dan zanes, in berkeley none the less. wow, what a wonderful experience for the kids, their very first concert;) ryder was so impressed with the show he was in awe, and quinn, well she got a bit over stimulated and fell asleep half way through! jesse and i had a great time and just enjoyed the entire scene.

sally has a helper

we all try and help keep the house nice and tidy, quinn is the real mess maker around here, so it's good to see her getting to work:)

nutella, need i say more

crepes and nutella, dusted with powdered sugar....ryder was in heaven!

mmmmmmmmmmm

bubbles in the rain

wow, life is quite easy out here! when it rains, we can still just play outside, and it's not a huge hassle getting gear on, packing a bag, having a plan, packing snacks....we just simply put on some boots, and go outside (and i grab a cup of coffee and relax, i could really get use to this!!)

this is quinn blowing bubbles for that little statue

the kids managed to fill this entire tiled area with bubbles, it was quite impressive!

friday morning entertainment

oh, these city kids are so amused with suburban life. they make sure to be in the driveway every friday morning to watch the truck go by, not our typical "playdate", but pretty fun regardless.

life in the cul de sac

quinn's first helmet, pink, of coarse!! she is so cute:)

hanging in pj's all day, is so much fun.....we could get use to this!

quinn is getting pretty good on the razor, what a dare devil.

absorbing vitamin d for the day....aahhhh.
