lyla at three…she loves: pretty things, getting her toes painted, her stripped dress that twirls, purple, holding hands while she falls to sleep, pillow pets and snuggly blankets, unicorns and pretending she’s a puppy.

dinner with the thomas fam
we were lucky to catch dinner with corrie and mike before we left san diego. they borrowed their niece and nephew so the kids could play while we visited. it worked! we had a great time visiting and the kids were insta-friends. we were only there ten minutes when lyla came out with braided pig tails, compliments of lily. it was really cute.
after a delicious dinner (thanks guys!) we went to the park where mike was making good use of his go-pro cam…
now adam wants a go-pro and I want a fish eye lens for our camera:)
priorities
for the last few years we’ve been visiting c.a. in the winter to escape the cold. but then we miss the good beach weather. so this trip, the beach was a priority. our first day here was somewhat cold and cloudy, but that didn’t stop the kids…
well, maybe it stopped lyla a little…she napped on the beach under a blanket for most of the time. when we finally woke her up to head for the car she said, “that was fu-uun!”

I love when friends visit
dave and joanna came to visit this weekend. we had a fun couple of days.
on the first we day floated the mighty boise river. lyla made it the whole way! (last time we had to bail out and call adam to come pick us up).
a little fun along the way
the kids loved, loved, loved having guests.
a little goofy going on at the capitol
we rode from adam’s work downtown to bittercreek for dinner with the lawrences. eli rode the whole way with his gearless bike. I was impressed:)
you can smash a lot of fun into a few days if you try really hard:) dave and joanna, it was super having you guys here!!!

mr. slug
we recently had a HUGE slug in our yard. the kids adopted it and made a little home for him. he loved the apple eli put in there…you could see his little nibble marks. all the munchin’ and crunchin’ led to the slug using his home as a toilet. apparently slugs don’t mind eating an apple while sitting on their own…stuff. the awesome part was when eli woke up in the morning and checked on the slug…”mom! the slug had BABIES!” you can imagine his disappointment.
eli’s rendition of mr. slug ~ this is one of my favorite drawings. i love how the slug is smiling, so cute.
