Daddy, Can I Help?

To get ready for our new hot tub, Eric needed to move the electrical box on the back deck. Levi wanted to help... "Here's the screw driver, Daddy!"
 

Crazy Grandpa!

Levi's Grandpa came home from his weekend away just in time to see us before we had to go back to Seattle. Levi loved sitting in the driver's seat of the RV... that is until Grandpa pushed the horn and scared the bejeebies out of the poor kid. It was so funny! I told Levi he had to keep pushing the loud horn until it didn't scare him any longer... soon he loved it (although I'm not sure the neighbors were as amused).

We saw Grandpa creeping around in the back yard with his bee bee gun... turns out he was hunting for pigeons! 

Grandpa taught Levi how to play pool!

Adventures in Vacaville

Thanks for all the fun times, Grammy! Here is a video of some of our adventures...

Whimpy's Marina

Today we made a surprise visit to Whimpy's Marina to see my Uncle Tom. It was amazing how so much of it hasn't changed one bit since I was a little girl! I was so great to spend some time catching up with my Uncle. When I was a kid, he made me one of his famous rocking horses. He ended up giving Levi one of his newly designed wooden horses. So special! We also went to Tower Park Marina... my Grandma's house was torn down and rebuilt a few years back, but it was still nice to be there.

"Hey Dad, guess where I am!"

"Look, Levi! I used to swim here when I was little."

Having lunch in the restaurant.

The new generation of rocking horses.

"Thanks, Uncle Tom!"

Summer's Almost Over

First Bike Ride!

Levi went for his first bike ride! He loves going super fast (just like his Daddy).

1 Year Check-Up

Now that Levi is one, we took him for his one year check-up with Dr. Chenelle. 

Birthday at the Zoo

Today is Levi's birthday! We took him to the zoo for the first time where he loved seeing all the animals... he enjoyed pointing and talking to each of them. After the zoo, we went to the park to swing. At home, Levi ate his favorite food... watermelon. Then came time for presents! We made Levi a photo album of all the special people in his life. Happy Birthday, Baby Boy! I can't believe how big you've grown in this past year. You are such a joy and Mommy and Daddy love you so much!
