Busy Bees...

Winnie the Poohs and Tigger, too!

my boy

Max the Sweeping Wiz

Go Daddy!

Daddy's number one fan...
Dad played in this flag football game at DP.

Go Maxwell, Go Maxwell!

Max got his groove on while Dad played football. Seriously, he hears music and he does this bouncy dance. This is a new move of his... I don't know who taught him the crotch grab - kids these day!

Too bad Max's cleaning skills don't rival his mad dancing skills. He is off to a good start though!

I love fountains, but mom is always trying to stop me from getting right on in!
This carousel is cool, too. you can come check it out at Chase Palm park.


Why can't I pick up this sea anenome?
Watch out mom, that fish spits water!

Check it out!

Okay, mom has to admit she is just posting these cause she thinks I am too cute. Too bad I have a BLACK EYE! Thanks to Zach Raphael for this entire outfit - you can hand-me-down your clothes anytime (says my mom), they are much more stylish than what mom usually dresses me in.

The Birthday Boy

At first unsure, Max quickly decided the cupcake was edible.

Organic Festival, Santa Barbara

Yes, this was an organic festival and Max loved it! John had to hold him back from charging the pony rides. Perhaps it is one of those "only in Santa Barbara" kind of events (SB or Boulder). But the group that put this on is doing good things, promoting alternatives to pesticides which make us little kiddos sick, they got the city to stop using pestisides in all public parks. Yea for us, and the fishies in the deep blue sea.

psst, did ya here the one about the hippy at the organic festival?

watch out! baby camel may spit!
actually, organic camels don't spit:)

Rita, Calm Down!

Yes, my Grandparents and great-grandparents and other relatives are from Galveston, or nearby (and lower-lying) areas... they have evacuated, making their way toward hill country. We are praying that they don't sustain too much damage and that the evacuation isn't too hard. We will keep ya updated here. It appears it will be a category 5 hurricane, which I think is stronger than they have ever seen before... calm down, Rita!

Stop Global Warming!

Please Join me, Larry David, RFK Jr. and many more in this virtual march on Washington.

Finally, a news station got it right!

Alice Kheck Park

We went to Alice Kheck park today. We saw giant goldfish and turtles swimming in the lily pond.

Then we walked over to the playground...

Mac Daddy Playground...

This park has the BEST playground. Sharks and Whales and turets and bridges and swings, oh my!

Higher Dad, higher!!!

Dad is teaching me tic-tac-toe strategy...

weeeee!!!

slides are fun!!!

yum, tortillas good! want some?

we ran some errands downtown this morning. baby got a new pair of shoes, but i really loved the toddler bed full of furry pillows, so i climbed up, all by myself, and played with the pillows - the parents should have gotten a picture of this. then we went out for a mexican breakfast. yum! i like to flirt with all the waitresses
what fun it is to eat these tortillas when they are still big! rather than when mom breaks them up into little bites. i think mexican food is my favorite.

Dad likes tortillas, too!

a walk down state st.

check me out, walking like a big person. everyone is so friendly, waving to me, even from the cars going by. oh, what fun!

oh, the wonderful things i find!

These hooks are way cool, they make a cool noise when i jiggle them. mom kept trying to drag me away, but i stood my ground. it was fun!

These grates are so cool.

I found one every yard or so, and i stopped to touch them. oh the wonderful things i find!
