Back On Track

I will be updating this more frequently, I promise!

Here's a preview - Trajan made Angel Food Cake for us:

Catching Up

I am woefully behind on maintaining this - watch for more updates soon!

Number Nine, Number Nine.....

Happy Birthday Trajan!

Trajan started out his birthday with a walk to the park and a picnic breakfast with his pal Lucas. Then back to our house for presents and more playing. The day was topped off by dinner at one of Trajan's favorite restaurants - Islands. There will be more celebrating at his party on Saturday.

Yeps on the Steps

Check out the steps Daddy made for the gravel path leading to the playset. They are the coolest steps ever! Now, if Macey would leave the gravel on the path, instead of using it for play food and dumping it into Trajan's reservoir....

Leo Party

Chillin' out in Cousin Sara's pool, at the annual Leo birthday party.

Uncle Pat's Pool

Here are Trajan and Uncle Pat having a breath-holding contest.

Old School Style

Here is the latest in toddler fashion - notice the retro portable cassette player, a must have for hip chicks this season.

Indiana Trajan

Part of Trajan's photo shoot for his birthday party invitations. The theme this year was "Raiders of The Lost Birthday Party" Notice the very cool whip provided by Gramma and the stylish fedora from Dad.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Our Next Kitchen Equipment Purchase

Trajan and I decided we would like to get one of these Hobarts for our kitchen so we can make quadruple batches of chocolate chip cookies - only our kitchen isn't as big as the one in Hearst Castle.....

Morro Bay

At the end of June, we took a trip to San Simeon, Hearst Castle, and Morro Bay. We took a couple of tours of the Castle, and spent some time at the beach. Here you can see Trajan with Uncle Pat in the cold water, and Macey playing horsey with whoever would gallop her across the sand.

Cat Woman

Macey learned a new trick the other day - I was in the kitchen, and I heard her calling from the living room "Mama! Nook! Nook!" (Look! Look!). So I went in and here is the sight that greeted me......

Sunset at the Beach

We are way behind on our blog entries, so we will be playing catch-up over the next few days.

We've been having unseasonably warm weather here for the past month - so we took advantage of the warm evening and went to the beach to watch the sun set. Macey and Trajan love going in the water, so Mama has to go, too.

A NOTE TO OUR VISITORS

Trajan and Macey love it when you leave comments for them on their blog. (OK - Macey really doesn't care about anything but the pictures - but Trajan loves to read the what you have to say (Thanks Aunt Mandy and Uncle Pat).)

It is easy to do - just click on the 0 comments at the end of any blog entry, next to the pencil. It will open up a comments window - add your comments, and then either choose Name/URL (fill in your name) or Anonymous and it will post your comment.

About viewing the photos - if you click on the photos, they will open in a large size in a separate window. Then you can just close the window when you want to move on.

You can view older posts that have scrolled off the page by pressing Older Posts at the bottom of the page, or by clicking on the links in the right side bar.

Swim!

We've been having a heat wave - it was 97 yesterday, and a cooler 95 today. Trajan and Macey enjoyed a dip in the wading pool.
