Family Time!

After the wedding Missi, Ginny and I drove to Reno to visit my dad's side of the family. John asked in a recent comment whether Ginny was a good traveler. She really was! Aside from her regular fussiness in getting into the car seat, she was great on the road. The hard part was keeping her awake while we were driving during her normal play times. It was easy though getting her to take a nap during her normal nap times while in the car. All Missi had to to was let me pass out and Ginny would be quick to follow. ;-)

She and Ginny got to meet a lot of family including Ginny's great-Lolo and Lola. We spent the first part of our visit eating and hanging out on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend with some of the family. On Memorial Day we drove up to Tahoe to meet up with the rest. That was me and Ginny's first time there. It was really pretty up there and surprisingly not crowded at all. Check out the pix from this part of our trip.

Marc & Daisy's Wedding!

Ginny, Missi and I drove up to the Bay area to help celebrate the nuptials of our friends Marc & Daisy. We had a great time.

Ginny had a lot of fun meeting her unkies Marc, Suju, Matee, Mike and Thai. She also got to see Aunties Anh and Karen, and Unkies Brad, Van and Chris, again. She surprised me by asking why Unkies Van, Thai and Suju were a little crazier than the rest. I told her that it was cuz of the sauce. She asked "Sauce? What kind of sauce?" I replied, "It ain't apple sauce." She then exhaled a knowing "Oohhhhhh."
;-)

Thankfully, she became distracted with the DJ. In response to him she yelled out "Ohh Yeaahhh!", with a Filipino accent. That darn DJ!

I'm just kidding, Ginny didn't say all those things. But I'm sure she was thinking them.

Below are pix from the ceremony and reception. As you can see both were absolutely beautiful! Congratulations to the happy couple!

Disney time fun!

Over the past couple visits to the Disney Resort Ginny has ridden Alice in Wonderland, the Fun-Wheel, Sleeping Beauty's Carousel, Heimlich's Choo Choo Train, and Flik's Flyers. She's becoming a pro! Here are some pictures from her last couple of visits. Good times!


Swim Time!

Ginny loved her swim lessons. Here's some pictures from her first lesson when she was in the water with just me, and her last lesson swimming with mom. Every week she was more and more comfortable. It sure was fun! Ginny even enjoyed getting dunked!

Hey Arnold-Stop Lying to the People!

Our beloved governor thinks that people are confused about Proposition 1a. Apparently, he doesn't think it includes $16 billion in tax increases and that the tax increases are just propaganda used by the right.

Read the full story for yourself:

Hmmm....maybe he shouldn't have made all of those education cuts, and took the time to learn to read!

PS-In case you haven't figured it out, I am voting NO on Proposition 1a (and the others too). Although a rainy day fund and a spending cap are great in the abstract, Proposition 1a continues the tax increases that just went into effect for 2 additional years.

Ginny and the Easter Bunny!

Ginny got to meet the Easter Bunny last weekend! She was all smiles and enjoyed going back home to tell Mickey and Mulan about her encounter with the human sized furry bunny. Mickey and Mulan got wary looks on their faces after learning of this surprise evolutionary development. I think the next time Mickey and Mulan encounter a bunny they'll make sure that it isn't rollin' with Peter Cottontail.
HAPPY EASTER!!!

Ginny's Easter Portraits

Ginny was the perfect model at her Easter portrait session. Of course, it helps having Mommy, Auntie Em, Dadda, and the Sears photo-guy hopping around and making weird noises to get her to smile.

We also went and visited the Easter Bunny and got a great picture with good ol' Peter Cotton Tail. We ran into him along the bunny trail, hipping and hopping as he waited for Easter to make its way. That photo will have to wait for another blog-post. Until then, Happy Easter to everyone, and enjoy the pictures!
