Creative Play

Because I love to cook, Boeing naturally needs to find something to keep him busy. Sometimes he needs a little help, sometimes anything will entertain him!

Quite the Picasso, yeah?

Who needs toys when there is so much cool stuff in the kitchen to play with!

Salad made from Farmers Market treats!

...and something healthy for Boe!

Grandpa Kinda Day

Kent has been busy moving our water heater to be closer to the house and expedite the hot water intake! Before getting under the house, we headed over to GramE and GrampE's house to snap a few photos of the truck Kent and Dad refinished. The truck was originally intended to be a project and sold when finished. Well, it took forever to finish and even longer to part and post it for sale. When Boeing was a few months old the truck won first place for Best Oldest Truck; great job boys! After the photos, Papa came over to help Kent finish the water heater move.

Water Heater just before move to new and improved spot!

Last Day of School

The last day of the Spring Semester at the Rinaldi School for Boeing was held at a water park. After a quick awards ceremony, the kids suited up and got wet. It was really cute!

The park also had a memorial that Boe was quite interested in

Boe is the Man!

Last weekend was one of Boeing's BFF's second birthday party at a kids play gym. He had a great time climbing, jumping and rexaling with the ladies. It was fun to watch him have safe things to climb and be adventurous!

Summer Solstice

Nothing says summer like eating watermelon on the porch!

ALOHA

Being married to a pilot has certainly made me a very luck little girl! School officially got out on Friday and we were on a flight Monday night for a quick little island relaxation. We took Boeing last year to the Big Island of Hawaii and he was still just a bit too young to really enjoy it. This year he went absolutely crazy over the big "Pool" (aka the ocean). It was really such an enjoyable time being in the warm, blue and clear water with my two most favorite boys. Although we only went for a few days, we sure had a nice time. There are too many pictures to select from, so I just decided to take the stress out and post all the ones I want! Boe is with Grama and Grampa right now, so I am able to post (he just started saying Grama and Grampa two days ago-Grama first).

Snorkeling spot next to our resort


We brought lots of books-the perfect reading spot on our patio

Of course the "Trash Cans" had to come too!

Way too much fun in the water riding the waves with Daddy

Loved the sand too!

Checking out the surf

Crash!

The zoo in Hilo, that is a white tiger in the background.

Breakfast South of Kona at the Coffee Shack. They have a fantastic view, great menu, and there are always lots of geckos snacking on jelly. Boeing can now say gecko, too cute.

Another day, another beach, more perfect water!

Shells everywhere

Crummy photo, but Kent is showing Boeing the airplane we are about the board and telling him all the ins and outs. He was so perfect on the flight over and we just barely go on. It was chaos and we didn't get to sit with Daddy; we received many compliments on what a good baby we have!

Mother's Day

A bit late, but just had to include this photo of my beautiful succulant wreath Kent and Boeing selected for my front door. I love wreaths and have recently been very attracted to succulants.

A favortie view from the kitchen window (the best Mother's Day gift every)

A quick trip to the farmers market, looks like a yummy salad with homemade crutons!

BUSY Kid Party Weekend

Last weekend was CRAZY with two of Boeing's girlfriends celebrating their second birthday. On Saturday we joined Sammie with friends and family for a Dora the Explorer party. Then on Sunday we partied with Abby at her Alice and Wonderland tea party. Both parties were super fun and Boeing really enjoyed playing with all of his friends (he kept saying Abby all day when he woke from his nap). For both of the girls I wanted to make part of the gift-I like the crafting and the personal touch. Kent helped cut the wood for Sammie's puzzle and Abby's memory cards.
Sammie's Party

Boe does not watch TV, so he had no idea who Dora was.

Abigail's Party

Dressed in his Wonderland Best

Didn't get a photo of Boeing and Abbey playing at her party, but here they are the day before!

Auntie Amy's Graduation and Celebration

After two hard years, Auntie Amy has finaly earned her Masters Degree in Administration from Cal State Northridge. It was a grand celebration that started with the hooding ceremony and ended with some sweets and lots of bubbly! We are very proud of Amy's accomplishments and wish her luck in an administrative position when the time is right.




Celebration!!!

Of course we all had to show up matching the color theme! My boys are so handsome!

and Bubbly!

Boeing's School Pot-Luck

Boeing has been going to the local Parenting Education classes with Kent and I for the last two and a half years. It is a great time and we learn so much; and have made so many friends. At first I took Boe to the classes, but now that I have returned to work, Kent gets to take him. This afternoon was the annual spring pot luck-fun!

Fun bike ride with Daddy
