the house we rented up in jenner had a hot tub. getting evie in was quite an accomplishment. she prefers her baths lukewarm at the hottest, but she had a new swimsuit that she wanted to wear.
hot tubbing at the cabin, skinny dipping in the russian river and nude bike riding and singing (pictures not included due to all the creeps out there - but ask me for pictures when next we meet) and she is all california.

a budding rock star
ok, maybe coffee house star.
ok, living room star with mom and dad.
mike picked out a half size guitar for evie's birthday gift.
she looks like a natural to me.

the third birthday - the kayaking edition
birthday week was a whole lot of fun. i have many photos to share, but not a lot of time right now, so i'll post a little a time to share the fund with you.
we spent the weekend up the coast at a rental house near the town of jenner, ca. our house was just about where the russian river flows into the pacific. it was a great weekend. our friends claudia and frank and their son marlon (who is five days younger than evie) joined us for the fun.
one of the highlights - kayaking on the russian river. we saw a harbor seal, lots of birds, and evie found this really cool stick on an island in the middle of the river.
good stuff.

it's my birthday!
hard to believe evie is three years old today. time has flown.
today she picked out a very special outfit to celebrate the day - courtesy of tony and kimberly.
when one of the teachers at school told her how cute she was in her giants outfit, she said excitedly "it says giants on my bum", and bent over to show the world.
that's my girl.

zoo day!
evie and i took advantage of spring yesterday by taking a trip to the zoo with our friends marlon and claudia. the two toe heads are on the brink of three now. hard to believe how fast this has all gone.
unlike the first time we brought them and they were stroller bound, this time they ran through the zoo on their own. having a wonderful and loud time.
to keep the fun going we met up again in the evening, this time with the dads in tow. sushi!
i figured miso soup, edamame and some beef would keep the kids busy. and it did, right up until they noticed the scallop sashimi. you couldn't keep either one of them away from it. while it's nice that evie will eat anything, i really wanted that scallop for myself.
sushi was followed by a trip to the ice cream shop for a cone.
a very happy beginning to spring.

the exhibitionist
evie and i made our usual trip to the grocery store on sunday, but with a slight variation. i pulled into the parking lot, then turned around to unbuckle her seat.
whoa.
mom: um, evie, where are your underwear?
evie: uncontrollable laughter
