And another one!

That's what Will says every time he sees a fire hydrant, his latest obsession. I never realized how many fire hydrants (or hire fydrants, as he often says) there are around. Seems like a really good system to me. Yay fire safety!

Anyway, this weekend Will got the chance to get up and close with one of his heroes, this red hire fydrant. How cute is he? Will, not the hydrant.

PS - He loves looking at this picture, he says "look, hire fydrant friend!"

Lake Tahoe is bitchin'

It is. In that breathtaking beauty kind of way.

Will, Katie and I met up with Nonna and Gramps for a fun long weekend in Tahoe Vista. We stayed at a place called Tonopalo, which is Washoe for "stainless steel appliances."

Here's the view of the pier on the Tonopalo beach.


Will and me showing off our Portland tans.
There were a bunch of these little dudes in the lake.

Tahoe 2: Kayak Fever

Hot kayak action.

Katie, Will and me. When is this kid going to learn how to hold a smile?

Nonna and Will. At least I think it's Nonna. It might be Karl Lagerfeld in a feminine hat.

Nonna and Gramps head out for an adventure.

Nonna striking a pose. No, wait. That really is Karl Lagerfeld.

Tahoe 3: The Donut

Will ate a donut.

Tahoe 4: Emerald Bay

The family took a quick trip to Emerald Bay.

Love this girl.

Will decided he absolutely had to climb up these rocks.

Gramps does his best to make sure Will doesn't fall to his death.

Katie was nearby, too.

I'm pretty sure he was getting in trouble right here.

Stolen Friday

On Friday, Will's day care was closed and Katie was laid up in bed with a sore neck. So I stayed home to watch after our boy. We decided to head over to the zoo.

Here's Will looking extra cute while we sat in some seriously bad traffic.


And here he is in a super sweet zoo stroller.


Silly dudes riding on the zoo train.
