San Diego



Kai and I made it safe and sound to San Diego and have been enjoying the nice weather. He was especially good on the flight here which was great since it was packd and we were in a window seat. Kai has especially been enjoying being healthy again and getting lots of attention from his grandparents. Yesterday we went to both Grandma and Grandpa's work. He was a big hit in the second grade.

Enjoy Them Quickly


These beautiful daffodils have come up in the front of our house. We have been enjoying mid 60's beautiful sunny weather for the last few weeks. In the forecast for the next few days- Snow! Better enjoy the flowers while we can!

Our Little Patient


Kai had a rough weekend- and thus it really wasn't a picnic for any of us. He started throwing up every half hour Friday afternoon until about 11pm. This was only the 2nd time we've ever seen him throw up. Then Saturday and half of Sunday he was burning up with a fever. Finally the fever broke yesterday and today he seems to be on the mend. He still has spent most of today on our couch which for our constantly on the go Kai is highly unusual. Hopefully after another day or two of rest he will be back to his old self. It sure is crummy when they are little and sick. One benefit though is that he sure has been cuddly. We are grateful to be on the mend.

Cheeky Monkey




In the spirit of celebrating new PJ's here is Kai sporting his newest ones. I thought they were cute and couldn't resist despite the fact that they are probably going to be grown out of quick. That's what a 50% off sale will do for PJ's that have a monkey on them and a tag that says "cheeky". Here are a few shots of our cheeky monkey being just that. So this is in honor of Rebecca and the Myers. Ahhh London....................

Lunch at the Park


We had a fun time at the park yesterday with the cousins. Sorry Jake didn't make it in to these shots- he had already hit the slides. Kai loved the playground and promptly came home and took a super long nap. Hooray!

Latest Happenings

We've had an active last few days visiting with family, attempting to get organized on some projects, and trying to beat off cold like symptoms. We seem to have been victorious over the colds for the most part now so we are grateful for that. Kai also suddenly has a molar type tooth that has popped through so that might explain some things as well. Sunday we had a BBQ at Kennedy's house and all the grandkids had a great time playing together. I forgot my camera so sorry for no pictures.

Last night Kai got to play with Jake and Emmy at Grandma and Grandpa's while Lance and I went out to dinner with one of the partner lawyers and her husband from his firm. We went to the New Yorker restaurant downtown which is a super nice private club type place. We had a really nice time. The food was amazing and we really like this couple. The husband is a Humanities professor at the University of Utah so talking with him takes us back to our Pepperdine world a bit.

Anyway, it was a nice night and when we got back to Kai he seemed quite content to be with his cousins. They are all so funny together. Seeing Kai around his girl cousins Kennedy and Emmy sure clearly displays the differences in the sexes. :)

The weather has been beautiful and warm here so I think Kai and I are going to go take advantage of it and spend some time outdoors at a local park with the cousins for lunch. We still have plenty of time for snow to return this year so everyone is trying to max out on the short sleeves while they can.

Ken-ne-ney!!!!!!


Cousin Kennedy came over for a play date today. These two are so funny together. I couldn't resist snapping a few photos of them. I sure hope that they can be buddies forever like this. Cousin Jake and Emmeline come in to town tomorrow and we can't wait to see them too.

Spaghetti Fun

First Official Haircut

This morning we went and got Kai his first official haircut. He sat very still on his Dad's lap and just seemed to be in a daze. We were shocked as we expected him to be his regular fidgety self.

Here is a before shot:

Here is a during shot:Here is an after shot:

As a reward for his excellent behavior the hair place gave him a lolipop to enjoy (this is a new experience for Kai):

And we took him sledding at the local park by where we live:




We accomplished all of this before 11am and now Lance is already off to work and Kai is thinking about lunch and a nap.
