Summer Update cont..

Grandma Christy and Will at the beach. Will is starting to love the waves...
Will at the long beach aquariam...we went with Grandma and Grandpa Corbett. He looks a little pooped here. It was stimulation overload. At the beach... we went to Parker's Lighthouse for lunch after...delicious!
I just love sweater vests...
Blaise's good friend Scott came down for a visit with his girl friend Nikki from San Fransisco. We went to the Santa Barbara zoo, nordstrom, lunch and watched a TON of tennis. Go Roger!

Happy Father's Day!

Blaise was out of town for most of the weekend at the US Open at Torrey Pines watching Tiger(he got a little color), but he made it home late last night for Father's Day. Blaise is the BEST father to Will and they have a lot of fun playing and rough housing together. Will loves when DA DA comes home and reads to him and takes him to the park!
My dad came to visit recently and it was so great to see him interact with WIll. I too have a very special dad!
I hope you all have a wonderful Father's Day!

Will Update

My dear friend Sarah and her family stayed with us last weekend and she took this picture of Will for me. It was so much fun having her stay with us!!! It brought back the BYU days and Will loved playing with Kennedy and Pieper. Blaise and Jake played golf and we hit the outlet malls!!

WIll can say almost 70 words and says "I love you" and "where did it go?" His favorite things are fish, pizza and balls (not necessarily in that order). We bought him a pet gold fish (kirby) and so far he is still alive. :)

Underwood Farms

My mom and I took Will to Underwood Farms in Somis last week. He loved feeding the horses and was a little nervous about riding them, but was a great sport! Thanks, Mom!

Solvang!

Auntie April and Emily came to visit and took Will to Solvang. He loved a beautiful park that they played at and ate a apple danish.
Daddy and Will on the swing...
Will in "the shoe" in Solvang. He would not sit still so this is the best one we got...

Random Sampler...

My Dad and Astrid came to visit last week and we went to the Santa Barbara Zoo. We had a great time and Will learned the word "turtle". I wonder if it is too early for a pet?
Will loves to snuggle up with any willing reader. Here he is with Grandpa Brian and Grandma Astrid. "More"....
Will LOVES flowers! He searches high and low for them so he can make the baby sign and then clap for himself that he discovered a flower. We tell him that he is our flower...:)

The Dirty Dozen

What is the dirty dozen?
In 2006, the Environmental Working Group released an updated report that identified foods in the conventional, non-organic food supply that contained the highest number of pesticide residues. The worst offenders, which were nicknamed the "dirty dozen," included:
Apples
Bell peppers
Celery
Cherries
Grapes (imported)
Lettuce
Nectarines
Peaches
Pears
Potatoes
Spinach
Strawberries


I was recently told by our water softer technician that non-organic strawberries were full of pesticides. I had been buying baskets a week from a local berry farm. Anyway, I did a little research on what fruits and veggies were high in pesticides and the results were very disturbing. We try and buy organic when available, but i would stay away from the above list unless organic...
