beachy tg

this picture says it all... we give thanks for our little miss lala! manhattan beach was a nice getaway for the holiday. we got to see some of my dad's side of the family, had a really nice meal and stella chased her favorite birds up and down the beach everyday.

the coat and the farm

loved stella's outfit this day we went to the farm. and we ran into my friend byron and his daughter. stella loved hanging out with her. fun day!

18 months!

finally catching up on some posts! this was a big one, stella's 18 month mark. its really hard to catch her on the polka dot rug, as i wanted the tradition to be. but here you can see her moving and talking the whole time i was snapping pics. she is quite the yacker!

1st a's game... for timmy k

stella's first a's game was in honor of tim knickerbocker, who passed away earlier this year. all his friends got together for his birthday tradition of going to the game. it was really nice to see everyone. stella wore her new a's t-shirt and got to sit on uncle jamo's lap. she enjoyed braydon's company and had her first malt. a's beat the mariners and we all felt timmy's love and presence. what a nice day.








and we just found out that jamie and colin are expecting a baby this winter! we are so happy for them.
