Fun in the sun!

Summer is here! What better way to celebrate our favorite solstice than with good friends and lots of water? Sofia, Hannah, and Texas enjoyed their first splashes in the sprinkler together. Here are some pictures.

The Great Easter Egg Hunt of 2010!

Between Easter, Passover, Tex's birthday, and the visit from GramZ and DeeDee, it felt like one party after another. On Sunday morning, we hosted an Easter egg hunt in our backyard. Sofia, Hannah, and Jacob were all there. See the video below. We hope you can keep up!

Cookie time!

Here's a short video about Tex's favorite pastime: EATING COOKIES!!! Bon appetit!

Uh-Oh Spaghetti-O

Tex's friend Hannah had her first birthday party this past weekend. It was an Italian party with lots of wine, women and song... and LOTS and LOTS of spaghetti! Texas enjoyed it all. Here are some pictures.

Daddy, Jake, Dylan and Brit
groomed themselves appropriately for the big Italian feast.

A pizza cake and spaghetti cupcakes: how Italiano!

The birthday girl prepares to blow out the candles:

Round I: Texas begins his meal (nice and clean).

Mmmm... that-a spaghetti tastes-a nice-a!

Can I fit any more into my mouth at once?

Probably not!

Round II: It's cupcake time.

I never met a meatball I didn't like.

Getting messier by the second...

This cupcake wrapper is getting in the way.

Well, if no one's looking,
I can just shove the whole thing into my mouth all at once:

Round III: Let's have some more spaghetti
since I didn't get enough the first time.

I missed a little on the edge of my finger.

Got it!

Summer of swim

Texas completed his first swim class this summer. After two weeks of intense training, he learned to jump in the pool, kick his feet, and splash around. He received a certificate of completion at the end of the course. Here are some pictures of Texas swimming in his class and showing off his skillz at other pools. There is also a short video from his final day at swim class.

Ready for his first day of class:
