A family that grooves together ...

Love this reach ~ with everything that's in her.

¡qué campeona!

Practicing for her debut as a flamenco dancer!

General Conference

Genius idea by Jonny Boy.

 She was a big fan of the 'coloring box.'

 Getting ready for conference ...

with notebooks in hand, Asha and I are ready to copy our notes from Dad.

This is what we waited many moons for.

I love these two pumpkin heads.

Nash to the Ville

waluh (one love)

This little bug has a favorite book: One Love.

It's a little gem written by Bob Marley's daughter based on his classic song.

When we were traveling home from Costa Rica, Asha was flirting with someone in the back of the plane. When we packed up to unload I looked back to check out her admirer. It was a black man with dreads. She pointed to him, then looked at me and said excitedly, "waluh!" I told him she thought he was Bob, he was honored.

Here she is, singing her heart out! One Love, One Heart, Let's get together and feel alright!

Go A's

I picked this onesie up at DI ten years ago.

I dreamed about the day when a little Wadecita would be able

to wear it as she watched the A's make it to the playoffs.

Pretty good timing, huh?!

Last minute dream vacation

 A couple of Thursday nights ago we got a phone call from Lizzy

telling us that Jeff needed to head north for business.

"What you need to do is fly Asha and I down there so we can stay with you and 

Jeff can take care of business," I told her.

"That's why we're calling," she said.

My bags were packed by the time she finished her sentence:)

 Perfect, perfect, perfect.

 Asha's little footprint in the sand.

 Paraiso. Seriously.

 What's creepier - my sweaty brow or Paigey's devilish stare?

 ¡Pura vida!

Just a few minutes before the fight broke out. 

Ian (Kent) pulled Yhoel (Keith) into the pool. 

Yhoel did not appreciate being disrespected like that.

For the next 15 minutes he waged a savage war of trying to sucker punch

or kick Ian in the face.

Ian was crying with fright and telling us that Yhoel would

not leave him in peace.

Intervention.

Either they hug/offer a hand shake or we take them home.

One firm hand shake and all was well.

 Ethan's and my attempt at making a raft.

I told him he needed to have Jeff show us how it's done

and post a picture on their blog of them floating

around Playa Grande, Playa Hermosa, or

Playa Brasilito.

Thank you Bellystones for a sueño realizado.

Thank you Etan Heffrey Bellystone, Pagina, and Crazy Coconut

for a dream vacation.

We miss you, Juan Carlos, Jose Luis

the flock of parrots, geckos, and Rio.

Hasta marzo chicos

Caught with her hand ...

not in the cookie jar this time!

 And proud of it!
