Weekend at Bernie's

Actually it was a weekend at Palm Springs followed by a visit to Ryan's great-aunt Bernie. We went for a retreat with Ryan's practice group at his firm. It was pretty relaxing, we mostly hung out by the pool because it was over 100 degrees and you couldn't do much else. Gwen was excited to be back in a pool and entertained the rest of the guests with her kicking and splashing (at breakfast on Sunday morning we passed some people we didn't know and they were like, "there's the little kicker" and started imitating her to their friends).

On the way home we stopped at Aunt Bernie's place in Yucca Valley. Bernie had Gwen laughing like I've never seen before; and I told her so. So now we know who Gwen loves the most.

Action Shots

Because Gwen pretty much was born jumping (actually, the very first ultrasound we ever saw of her at 9 weeks she was jumping, like the whole time), she LOVES this thing. She ricochets off the sides of the door squealing, jumping back and forth, occasionally lifting up both her feet to just free-swing. It is FUNNY.

Still No

Gwen got stuck like this for a full two minutes. We were pretty excited that she might actually land on her knees and CRAWL. But no.

Seal Beach Police Log

Saturday, September 13
Illegal Peddlers - The caller reported two white men in their late 20s or early 30s. They wore backpacks and dressed in long-sleeved shirts and ties. The caller did not know if they had permits to peddle goods. Police detemined they were not peddlers at all - they were missionaries with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (also known as Mormons).

(Taken from this week's Sun Newspaper, am I the only one who finds this hilarious?)
There wasn't an available photo, so I just put this one of Gentry instead.

G-Wen's Diet

I'm dreaming here (after this picture she cried, cried and cried)...

But the TV Guide is her guilty pleasure, she can't get enough of that Desperate Housewives cover shoot (it was a 2-pager).
Why is that?

Surfing Saturday

It's the best tradition that I know of.

Yes on 8

Don't know how this bumper sticker got stuck on Gwen's head...JEN!!!

Shellie

I know why you are moving, you're trying to protect your little bottom from getting kicked by my little bottom in tennis. Well, get ready for a major spanking because you can run but you can't hide. And don't think Avery can protect you, I've been fattening Gwen up so she can sit on her and hold her down.
We'll miss you - we've already missed you, but now will miss you even more:(

Little Surfer

not quite, but still a beach baby.
