So Cal Spring

I guess that Spring is officially here on Friday. But, it sure felt like Summer today! Kate had a ton of fun screaming and squealing with her grandpa and the hose. I was cringing at the amount of water being wasted (and thinking "this is why people want to bomb us"). Ahhh, extravagance! Of course my dad couldn't resist applying a little baby torture to the mix. If she was holding the turned off hose near her face he would run to turn it on as fast as possible. I know, I know. Pretty horrible. However, I survived, if only mildly scarred.

The adorable St. Patty's Day outfit.


Just because this is the cutest baby.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Wishing luck to you all! Here is a picture of Kate at about 7 weeks old last year. I will try to post some from today later since she looks adorable in the outfit Brittany put her in. I am pretty sure that I have zero Irish in my and am not sure about Kate. Patti do you know? I am having corn beef tonight anyway!



I also couldn't help but post this picture of sweet, little Gemma. She is the daughter of my lifelong friend, Brooke. Isn't she the cutest?!!

Fun at the Zoo

Kate had a fun time the other day with her playgroup pals at the Santa Ana Zoo. I had no idea this little place existed. It is quite small but has a carousel, train and lots of fun animals to observe. The zoo is known for its collection of monkeys and they have a bunch of different species. You should check it out!

I love our little playgroup. It was formed from a group of us that go to Gymboree. Most of this kids Kate has been playing with since she was three months old!
