Pet bird?

He only gets the good stuff.

Her first fish!

Second fish!  You can hear the kid in the back say "go girl".  Kinda funny.

Didn't realize at the time that this was Marika's first fish too!  Pretty nonchalant for her first fish...only freaked out when I had to remove hooks from the fish...

More Fish!

And she didn't stop at 1 fish.  Of the 7 we caught 5 she caught 5!!!

And I really mean she caught them.
All I did was bait the hook.  She dropped it, bobbed it and set it!
Unreal. 

Fishing at Santa Monica Pier!

First hook in the water and she catches a fish!

Amazing!  And She did it all by herself!  Well I had to bait the hook with the smelly squid...

Very proud of her and very happy she caught one!

I think we'll keep him

Scooting!

It wasn't too long before he demanded we remove the seat. 

She's a really good sister.

Fun Times

Swings!

Swim Time!

Quite pleased at how clean our pool is.  And quite pleased at how well she can swim these days.

Ladybugs!

Not sure why the ladybugs disturbed her this time.  This is the girl who'll pick up any bug she sees.  Maybe it was just because of the swarm she let out of the jar...

Kapok Tree

Quinn's first school show!

Not entirely thrilled by the given instructions I guess...

Happy Guy

 

Make sure you turn up the volume.  It's worth it.
Quinn's reaction at the 35 second mark is my favorite.  

And Jasper was fine.  He was actually laughing the whole time.  

At our happy place

At Farmers-Grove for a "fancy dinner" at the Laduree restaurant.

Toof faaaiiirrryyy

Lost her first tooth! Nana said, "just pull on it a little" and she did and it came right out just before bedtime!

Aerial Warehouse!!!

Johnny Rockets!

Aquarium!

and moooooore tidepools...

She's a good sister.  Always helping feed him.

But she's also a kid and things can go a little crazy.

Very crazy.

Happy Little Guy.
