Sunny Delight

First
Sunny is now 10+ months old.
 Whoa, such a big boy!  It seems that time has taken on a warp speed.  The days are truly flying by, fast. He is growing at a rapid pace. I can't keep up with this kid.  
Along with turning 10 months old he popped out another tooth!  This time on top.  We are talking some serious teething here.  Right down to breaking out in a rash, poor kid.  
I give him carrots and freeze a teething ring and as many snuggles and kisses as he needs and could possibly want.   

 These boots & socks are killing me with cuteness.


Second,
It's warm and sunny and we shall be outside.  As much as possible.
Last weekend we put in two more raised beds.  Yes! We went to our local garden store and bought some plants.  Tomatoes, onions, and peppers.  Can you say salsa?  Salsa! 
Here in California we have gophers, which requires us to dig down and lay chicken wire to protect the roots of our loveliesSo far this has worked with our other beds.  Brady and I had a fantastic time playing in the dirt.  God, I love him!
Then, we planted and watered the new garden.  Brady dremeled the top of this orange juice container for me.  It was a Pintrest thingAt first it didn't work that well and then he realized it needed another hole by the handle to release suction.  Now it works like a dream! Thanks babe!  Oh the joy I feel from reusing and recycling.  

After all that hard work it's time for beers.  
Peebers naturally.

Third,

I must admit I get a little impatient waiting for things to sprout. Still no sign of life with the tomatoes and peppers or the basil...
Then we have this.  In the excitement of it all I made this.  I have no idea what it is.  It's a wait and see thing. I guess...

And, before we get off the subject of gardening...
 
Healthy people are happy people.
 
Fourth, 
It's spring time!  Time to change things up in the house...
During winter it made sense to have the couch facing the cozy wood burning stove. But it is a different season now.  Putting the couch along the wall gave us a HUGE open space where we can stretch in the morning before our run and play in the afternoon without bumping into anything. Both Sunny and Kota are big fans.  Me too!  If feels so much better, so much more open. 
Before we had our dining table below the manzanita tree.  Now we have our big ol' record player there.  This frees up a lot of space if your sitting at the bar and also gives you room to dance when you hear Spanish Flea by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass come on the record  player!

Fifth,
Music.  Just stuff I've been listening to.  
French Kicks-Sex tourists
I like a lot of their stuff.
