Camille is Walking!!

We are so excited because Camille(14months) is now walking!! She also seems much happier to be up and around. She is getting faster and more stable, so she will soon be able to keep up with Isaac, Elise and Aidan.

Here she is walking!! Sorry the pictures are sideways, I fixed this on my computer (or so I thought!!)

Papa K., I have officially learned my lesson about turning the camera!!

These two sure love each other!!Camille walking has also made Isaac so excited! He keeps pointing at her and telling me she is walking. He has also told several strangers in the store about his sisters amazing walking skills. He is such a typical two year old sometimes!

Brian's Trip to Cabo!

In February, I spent three days relaxing with nine other guys in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. This was the view from our villa over-looking the town and marina of Cabo San Lucas. Not bad!!

We fished hard on the first day. I landed this striped marlin after a 30 minute battle! I was soaking wet as the boat chased the fish in reverse through rough seas. What a blast!! Just like you see on those TV shows.

On the second day, we played golf on one of three signature Arnold Palmer Palmilla golf courses. It was a beautiful ocean side course. I think I was about 12 balls into it before the 18th hole! Let's just say I won't be quitting my day job for a golf career.

On the third day, we fished hard again. I landed my first pacific sailfish!! For the trip, the group landed 11 striped marlin, 2 pacific sailfish and 16 yellowfin tuna. We brought 50 pounds of tuna back home. It was definately my most productive fishing trip to Mexico yet.

Effie Yeaw Nature Center

A couple of weeks ago we decided to take the kids out to do some exploring after church. Effie Yeaw Nature Center was the perfect place!! It is on the American River and has both a great nature center and many hiking trails. After looking at poisonous snakes and learning about the local ecosystem in the nature center, we headed out to see some wildlife. We were lucky to see a giant buck right away, then a herd of deer. We also saw many bugs, birds and squirrels. Aidan's favorite was a red tailed hawk!! We had an awesome time!

We put Camille in the Backpack, which she seems to enjoy. She was asleep in no time!

(Aidan took the picture below)

Isaac didn't find any live crawdads, but this one was pretty exciting!
Brian and the kids stop for a picture. It is impossible to get all four kids looking in the same direction at the same time for a picture!!

We had such a great time. It is so much fun to watch the kids experiencing nature, wildlife and just having a good time together. After this outing we decided to make a point to go camping this summer!

Sorry, I accidentally added this photo and couldn't figure out how to remove it!!
