August we went to Utah and then spent a week at Bear Lake.

We also took Scout to the Oakland Zoo for her first time! It was Ry's idea and she lived it. She got really excited over the elephant and the Gibbons.

She likes to get in to everything while I'm doing laundry and I found her crawling around with the necklace hanging out of her mouth. She started laughing and thought she was pretty funny. 

Mike had her laughing at the lake house while he was making Hector Fox talk. It was his 26th birthday and she turned 9 months the same day.

Kramer took me to Taylor Swifts 1989 World Tour for my birthday and Ryan babysat for us. It was the funniest night ever. We had a blast and caught a bus home afterwards. He is the best!!

Scout and I have been hanging out at the pool. This girl LOVES the water and wants to take off swimming on her own!

I caught her being funny with the fruit loop box. She has me laughing all the time.

She does pretty great at her nap times, and always wakes up happy and talking with those rosy cheeks.

She crawls around the house being extra cute and I love it.

We went out thrifting on Sarurday (of course) and Kramer found Brittan Street. It's spelled wrong but it was funny. We then ended up scoring a sweet dining table and can finally have people over! The owners of the thrift store have gotten to know us pretty well, and asked if they could take some pictures of us posing at our new dining room set for their website. It was pretty funny but we couldn't say no.

The end of August was fun and we've spent a lot of family time outside playin with Miss T. I guess we like her a little..

I'm able to lay her down awake and she'll  talk for five unites and then crash. It's pretty cute.

We celebrated Ry's birthday with funeral potatoes (per his request) German chocolate cake, and Kubb. Scout was so excited about the balloons, It was the cutest thing ever!

She's all over the place while I'm doing housework but I kept her busy on the bed for a few minutes playing with the selfie stick.

She thought it would be fun to follow me in to the bathroom and try to climb in to the tub. This girl is a monkey. These pictures just show how silly and busy she is. Always in to something. She started standing up on her own for a few seconds that afternoon and I caught it on camera. She's growing up too quickly!

The rest of September we went up to Idaho for Spud Day and to visit family. Tennesy was crawling everywhere at the airport and loved looking out of the window at the planes and people.

Before we left we had a mini dance party, as they are Tennesy's favorite. Krame turned on some music and Ten was dancing and singing. She loves stringed instruments, and especially loves the Cello. It's really sweet.

We went out the Gearys garden a lot and I got myself some fresh garden carrots almost every day. There's nothing like fresh carrots from the garden. Dirt and all. It's like heaven. They have some pretty flowers out there, and I had to get a picture.

The last picture is of her first fat lip. She fell out of the swing my parents have in the house and totally face planted. The tooth she has been cutting cut it open a little and made it bleed. She was sucking her lip in like a fish the rest of the day, haha.

We had a lot of fun in Idaho and got to meet Tennesy's cousin Sailor for the first time. She is the sweetest little thing and I can't wait for the girls to be best friends.

Tennesy loves to swing and she loves being outside, so she was in heaven. She said "Ai Ai" and stood up at the door all day every day until we took her out. She loved it there with the wagon and tube and dandy lions and trampoline. It was so much fun.

Cell phone pics. Ew.

You Friday Krame was able to leave work early, and Tennesy was over the moon. She loves him so much and was so excited to have him home to play with her. We walked to the park and had a really great evening. 

^that smile.

Yesterday we went in to Redwood City and and Kramer took us out to lunch at The Old Spaghetti Factory there. Tennesy  made us laugh the whole time, singing songs and stealing our food. She really loved the spinach ravioli. She is such a good kid, but oh how she does the funniest things.

^she loves her Sophie Giraffe our old neighbor gave her.

^Kramer thought she looked adorable sitting there at lunch. And he was right.

^Tennesy loves secrets. And if you tell her one she does it back.

^notice the finger in the mouth

After lunch we went to one of our favorite Thrift Stores and almost bought ourselves a pretty sweet Brazilian style table, but decided to hold off. We then headed in to Niles (big surprise) and started a little game of "Where's Waldo" in the thrift stores there. Niles is an old town where we spend a lot of time browsing the antique shops and thrift stores. Bronco Billy's is there and the ice cream parlor, so we may have come home with a pizza for dinner. It was a really fantastic Saturday.

Today we went to church and Tennesy apparently entertained everyone. She's pretty much the cutest kid with the funniest little personality. Though I hate that she's growing up so quickly. She is so silly and a very curious little girl.

It was such a great weekend.

^she cracks me up.

More summer adventures

07.23.15 - 08.02.15

We had friends visit the end of July and it was a party every day.

We showed them China Town (where Tey got her maraca) 

Golden Gate Park. Where she made us all laugh on the way home, as she would squeal and throw her arms up and then giggle.

Six Flags. A very hot day, but she was such a good girl. She loved watching the Seals and the Dolphin shows!

The Board Walk. She crawled around in the sand chasing after seagulls.

And The Mystery Spot. What a cool place!

08.03.15 - 08.11.15

The day after they left, we flew to Utah for a few days before heading to Bear lake. 

We saw family

Had fun at raspberry days

Celebrated Kramers birthday and Tey turning nine months

Land finished the trip with a day at the splash pad and then stopping for lunch and snowcones. 

We didn't make it in to a Coasta Vida to see ourselves on their screens. But I think we're going to be taking a little road trip here, to Sacramento soon, so we can.

Then over this last weekend, I got to cash in my birthday gift from the best husband ever, and we went on a date to the Taylor Swift concert with a few special guest.. One being Vance Joy! It was such an incredible night!! We had so much fun. Kramer is the absolute best. I still can't believe it happened.

 Teyz did great all evening , thanks to Ryan babysitting for us! That same day we all went to the zoo together so she was with him all day, making it easier when we left. She loved the elephants and got the biggest kick out of them, and she got so excited watching the Gibbons.

And I mean it. Best. Night. Ever.  

To celebrate this Independence Day, we started the day with the most lame and unpatriotic Parade ever. We then spent the day just relaxing at home, spending time together. 

When evening rolled around we headed out to meet Ryan for some good Fourth of July fun. Ry started the navigation and we ended up heading to a fair that was, in fact, not the one we thought we were going to! But we all know that none of us go by the book and figured we'd give it a try! Except it had closed down a month earlier.. Lol. So we headed back to the fair we originally purchased the tickets for!

This fair had a firework show going to a live symphony, deep fried food, and rides! We were sold! We made it there and all shared some good fair BBQ, and then found ourselves a nice grassy spot in the middle of the crowd. It was so funny watching Krame and Ry carry the stroller up over people making our way to our spot. We all were wondering where the symphony was going to be playing, but no one said anything.

Like a bunch of idiots we sat there watching a big clock countdown and then when the fireworks started going off, we found out they were clear behind us on the other side if the park. Laughing, we booked it over and were able to see half of them. Tennesy LOVED them. She was so fascinated by them! She would get a little worried when they'd go off, and then get excited, and then watched them intently. It was so funny.

When they ended, Ryan and I went on a couple of rides. One of them being a super sketchy roller coaster. Fair rides freak me out more than other rides.. 

It was definitely a fun day. 

On June 30th we decided to have a beach day while Dad was at work. We met met up with some of our friends andhad  a fun day playing in the water, and sitting in the sand. You, Chase, and Olive are all just a few months apart and decided it would be a good idea to teeth on the seaweed that washed up. (And you started the whole thing, little miss "I'll eat anything!) I guess I should have packed a Seaweed sandwich instead of a pb&j! (Which you also shared with everyone) such a good girl, haha.

07.09.15 Today we:

Played on the rug and took silly pictures. You gave me "kisses" while we watched Madeline and played together. You are acting older today and are extra cuddly.
