The 3rd month...and a trip to CA!

Aching for more pictures? Thought so...well, you'll get your wish and more :-)  Kasen and I went down to California while Erik was skiing with buddies in Colorado (rough life!).  We had a great time hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa Johnson (sorry, that makes you sound really old...mostly 'cause I have a Grandma and Grandpa Johnson...), Aunt Tricia and meeting great Grandma and Grandpa Waggoner, along with more extended family!

                                                        

look at my mad skills!

 Why do they always make me hang out on my tummy?

Future Cardinal? (other options based on clothing he owns include Huskies, thankfully NO ducks!)

 Hangin' with my grandparents after dinner

 Happy in stripes...

well, not always

 Me and grandpa match in our navy stripes (unplanned)

Glorious day on the Capitola beach after tasty brunch in Soquel with family

 T and dad

 Krista and a burrowed (and sleeping) Kasen because of the wind

 Thanks for the california quilt grandma!

Blurry, but nice hair

What?!

T and dad (and Kasen of course)

 Hangin' with Aun-T

Sunday afternoon nap with grandma

Happy up high on the island where I can see stuff

 So big!

Asleep with my frog legs, on my new great quilt from Great Aunt Elaine! Thank you!!

Another glorious sunny day in Santa Cruz! Wow!

 Kasen sucking on the carrier, and soaking it

Walking on west cliff drive

Mad then crashed with grandpa during dinner. Thanks for swaying, bouncing and singing with me!

 No big deal, why do you keep taking pictures?

Meeting great grandma Waggoner! (she had fun talking to me...video to come)

 Ready, set, launch

 Beautiful blooming almond orchards.

 A new Oakdale house with a view of the river bottom (T, this is my reflective in one window and look through the other window picture)

 More ranch pics

 1st time on a rocking horse...didn't scream. (built by great great grandpa Waggoner)

Can't keep his eyes open for pictures...just like his mom.

Fun playing with "cousin" Brittlyn

 Another gorgeous day!

 Enough already with the blossom pictures!
I'm NOT going to smile :-)

And I'm spent. All I wanted was an actual walk

Seriously, you are going to try again?!

Orchards...and (not so much in the picture, but) it was so clear you could see Yosemite at the horizon!

On a huge walnut island! Great spot for me to play!

My (Krista) mom's side of the family at a shower/welcome party for Kasen. Thanks Carolyn for the tasty food and great party! (I don't generally like split pea soup, but she made curry split pea soup and it was very tasty. I might even try to make it again)

Kasen's Great Great Aunt Edith and Uncle Bill (and Great Grandma Waggoner in the middle)

Nice living room view from upstairs

Brittlyn protecting her hill and orchards :-)

Nice light, walking back to the house with Kasen, and a balloon

Yeah, back with Grandpa and time for a nap.

More people to meet--extended extended family.

                                                                                    Go Mariners!

Hangin' with my monkey

Bath time with Aunt T

Goodnight! (or probably morning)

A not so nice day, that got nice just so we could go see the sculpture park for T's birthday! Sunny and windy.

Loves to play with blankets and falls asleep easier with them on his face (don't worry, I move them)

With Aunt Brianne in Portland

Having fun just playing

The sisters, and Kasen. We had a good time, and Kasen slept through Sushi dinner and tasty desserts at Papa Hayden's for T's birthday!

If you made it through this many pictures, congratulations! More to come. and hopefully will post some videos soon.
