A Little Larson Fashion

Kimbyl decided to get all gussied-up on her own by putting every hair clip and hair accessory in the house on at the same time.

Mindy took a few cute ones of Tessa.  

Yes, the front door seems to be the most happenin' backdrop that we can find in our house.  We really like the handle :)

Firetruck Inspection

Yup that horn works!!  Max and Emma really liked getting up in the fire engine and making some serious noise....not much different from home :)

Self-Timer Success

I don't know about ya'll, but when we actually get the whole family to hold still and actually smile at the camera while doing the self timer thing its a miracle!!

Sudz-N-Fun

You know what happens...after dinner...washin' dishes...lil' too much soap and Viola!!  Lots of fun!  Tessa thought it a wee bit scary!

Santa Barbara Pics

Santa Barbara

We recently drove down to Santa  Barbara to visit our friends, the Gardners.  We had never been in that part of the country before and it sure is purdy.  Citrus orchards abound, things are pretty green.  The mountainous Santa Barbara terrain contrasts nicely with the deep blue Pacific.  The hillsides are covered with prime oceanview lots....we think we want one.  I didn't realize there were so many off shore oil drilling platforms along the coast... gee whiz hmmm, anyway.  We had a lot of fun out there.  We did some campfire cookin', caught some frogs and let the kids get their feet wet in the ocean (first time for Emma, Max and Tessa) and we visited the small Danish enclave of Slovang (north of Santa Barbara), which was a lot of fun.  The human powered, 6 person quadracycles were a hoot, I'm still feeling the burn.  Tessa loved her perch on the front basket.  We had a great time and had fun seeing Brian, Taryn, Kenna and Taylor.
