Scouting Mission at Boca/Stampede

Lately daddy is in a scouting frenzy for his up coming archery season, mama and baby tagged along for a dry, hot, dusty, nonetheless beautiful and relaxing camping weekend near Truckee.

we camped at Proser reservoir, we were glad to not be in the company of motor boats


this is how Robbie earn his title of Peach Boy:


saw some hot air balloon at crack of dawn

Some sheep on the hills, and the dogs seemed to really enjoyed the trip

He's Got a Few New Tricks

Learned how to stand up in his crib and shaking the rail to demand be taken out or company....

Loves to show off his sharp little pearlies


Loves to blow bubbles and make the "Bzzz" sound

Is motoring via crawling around the house, one day I need to bust out the video cam...

And, he still has chubby hand...

Playing with Macro

I got bored at Kev's soccer game, then got distracted by the honey bees busy working on the clovers, and this is what I got:


and later that day while hanging at the farm, I thought I will give the Macro setting some play time:

I <3 THESE

It's ironic that I am posting this for 2 reasons:

1. It's insanely HOT today, especailly for Oakland standard, a whooping 84 degrees!!

2. Robbies has already been made fun of for wearing Babylegs...

BUT I love them anyways!

Robbie was amazing on the long flights, he manage to get half of the passangers on the plane comment on how good a baby he was!

Skye & Skye playtime:

I am Good at the Keyboard Alright

Especially if it helps me sit!

Pretty much sitting on his own

As if it is a monther's day present, Robbie started to pretty much sitting on his own. And I first realized it when I try to get him to model for aunt Lisa's knitting thinking I will just prop him in the chair, little did I know he didn't need the help of the cusions. And today at grandpa's for mother's day, robbie decided to sit for a good minute un assisted chewing on one of his toys, too bad, I didn't have my camera in hand.
But I had to show off robbie's handsome sweater and aviator hat from aunt Lisa.

Hello Solids, here I come!

Even if I have rice cereal face, I am still handsome, at least my mom thinks so..

Aloha!

We are back from our trip to the North Shore of Oahu (the historic town Haleiwa more specifically) , we had a fantastic time and could not have chosen a better location and company to say the least! The weather was almost perfect, the beach was beautiful, the wild life amazing, little Robbie had plenty of "firsts", and there was plenty of beer to go around, so there you have it in a nut shell.

Our beach camp in front of the house we stayed and the view from camp



family photo on the beach overlookig the beautiful Waimea Bay

Since our cottage was only a short work down the beach from where they filmed "LOST" we decided to take a hike to the "oceanic crash camp" up the beach and found Mr. Echo's church!

on our way back we saw this huge turtle on the beach

We started our days with pretty much pineapples, in the backyard where kev also gets to check out the waves first thing, and got to paddle out and catch a few a couple times...

We decided to give little robbie a chance at the sand and wave


and also lots of hikes/nap time



and usually we get to see turtles on our journey, sunning at the tide pools, or camouflaged amongst the rocks


and were even lucky enough to catch this shot of a whale breachig out of the ocean!!

and of course, playtime with mom!



and I am saving the best for last...
