Tahoe and Back

We pulled up in front of our place last night around 11pm and that marked 10 hours of being in the car for the day. It was a LONG trip but a GOOD one! I am pretty surprised to say that Kai did GREAT in the car! He was totally fine with hanging in the car... over the total trip (4 days) he was in the car for around 1200 miles! He was a fun little travel buddy.

It was a good week in Tahoe with good friends. I have to admit that when we were packing the car for this trip I felt like I was taking off for an Everst summit. It looked like a daunting goal- drive all the way there with our little dude, try to keep Kai safe from needing stiches or trying to hurt himself in a non-kid proofed environment and then to top it all off I had a longboarding fall the day before we were set to go and jacked up my back. So the fact that I am sitting here at my home in LA and have nothing but good memories of the entire trip is a HUGE GIFT! It is true :) All things are possible in Christ--I was praying a lot through this trip :)

Here are 2 of the Famous Halls! Noah and Sean. Sean was doing high air training, he really wants him to be comfortable with Big Air.

Here is the fun and lovely Rena Hall (a.k.a Noah's Mom) I love that her hat says life is good. It embodies her motto.

Here is Noah and one of his ladies, Katie. This little boy knows how to get the attention of the ladies!

Kai and Noah hit it off and had a blast playing with each other. It was really fun to watch them interact.

Here is Sean and Noah doing there "CroosFit" together. Noah is clearly a natural athlete.

I am pretty excited about it being St. Patty's Day but for the sake of being honest I have to say that I am SUPER bummed that I don't get to go to WPPI this year, but hopefully that means that I can be there next year. I am pouting but this is the report at nap time today.



It had been a LONG day and I was dying for nap time to arrive. When
it finally did (minutes ago) I was praying with Kai before I put him down.
I asked Jesus to take away our pain and to replace it with His joy. Then
I said, "Please Jesus". AND SO DID KAI!! He said it over and over, "Please
Jesus Please!" That made everything better and it all worth it.
This is a video for the Grandparents
but feel free to sneak a peek!


Here is something I made for St. Patty's Day. I am Irish, I can't help myself!
By the way-- I found the texture at a really cool site with a really cool concept! It is all about paying it Forward, if you haven't seen the movie, you should, it is a great way to live and work. http://pifphoto.com/index.php/page/2/

I have to do it
Mar 8, 2008

I wrote this post a few days ago but we have been having such problems with our internet that it has taken a full week to get the pictures uploaded. Grrrr It was pretty frustrated but after a stop at Circuit City and a wireless router later I am back up and running. Ok--back to something more fun to talk about--Kai :)

Some days I think that if I don't talk about how amazed I am by my kid, that my head is going to pop off. He is SO Fun! I have to purge myself of it ever so often (ok, so that is pretty often :) So this is one of those posts, that will be all about my amazing little Dude. There will be not substantial photography talk, this will be pathetic ramblings of a Mother who thinks the world of her son. (I still can't believe that I have a kid, let a lone a Son! It seems like just yesterday that we got to bring him home from the hospital)

So here is the recap-- The bra on the head shot :) hahaha He thought it was a HAT! :) I remember my less endowed days where I endured relentless teasing, but now my kid sees my bra and he think that is big enough to be a hat. I never thought of this day when I was thinking about stuffing my bra in high school. Please know that I never in a million years thought that I would be posting a picture of my bra on the internet--I am really shy about that sort of things, but this picture is too funny to not share.

Ok--so here is the continuation to that picture. A good 4 days have pasted since he pranced around with my bra on his head...well..... I guess he remembered the word bra. Today when I stopped into Old Navy I saw I shirt I liked so I headed to the dressing room to try it on. Once I took my shirt off, he started saying, "Bra! Bra! Bra!" I was dying of either laughter or embarassment, I am still not sure. I was just waiting for him to use his favorite phrase-- "Touch it", if he had gone there I surely would have died.

ok--on to something else. Last Monday we had a fun playdate with some of the Transparent Moms and it was so FUN! Kai was the only boy, so I think that he had fun playing with the girls and as you can see stealing food.

Bailey M, Sydney B., My Guy and Mayln A. Aren't they cute on that bench :)


I love the looks on Mayln and Kai's faces in this picture. She is bummed that he snack trap has been high jacked and Kai is trying to look innocent while still conveying to her, "please don't draw attention, I will get busted for sure"

Oh--yeah! I had a CAR ACCIDENT today. Boo Hiss Well I was in a car and it was an accident. I really think I am blonde. I ran into a parked car. I have a good reason but I still can't get over the fact that I hit a parked car. But at least everyone was fine and it could have been a lot worse...but still--a parked car!





 



All Around the Table
Mar 2, 2008

We met up with our church group Transparents, and we had a wild night of food and fun and lots of crazy children. It was a "Chucky Cheese" like atmosphere and it was fun to get together as a group outside of our typical surroundings. But what makes this blogable is the fact that when we were saying our goodbyes Kai gave his little friend Malyn, a kiss. Travis, Stacy and I thought it was funny, so we encouraged them to do it again, so I could get a picture. Afterwards Boo said, "It is all fine and dandy until she turns 18 and then I don't want to see Kai at my house." The best part is check out the photo, Boo is the guy off the frame to the left with the red eyes!! Hahahaha

A Sick Sunday

Kai has had a little runny nose and cough so we decided that he should steet clear of the church nursery this Sunday. So instead of going to church, we hit the beach. It was a nice relaxing way to spend a Sunday morning and Kai was fun to watch. But I think I am kinda partial. :)

Future Fireman Alert-- Maybe
Mar 1, 2008

Kai and I did the FUNNEST thing today and I am really excited about it. We went down to the Firehouse and got to see the fire trucks first hand. Kai was so reverant of the fireman, paying attention to every word he said and just so excited to be around a real live fireman. Fireman Jason was so cool that he even turned the lights on for Kai and let him drive. :) Here are a few pictures from my Point and Shoot :)
