Q, She Sushi

With her first birthday just around the corner...our lives are full of exciting "first's" these days! Though next to everything else, this one was a little unusual and unexpected. Who would have known...but Quin LOVES sushi!!

Her favorite? The Lion King- a baked california roll topped with cooked salmon and melted cheese! (and of course the avocado roll was a hit)  Yum!! ;)

happy time to you

This is not a joke or a gag gift. This is exactly how I purchased it from the store.

I had been looking for a tent for Quin for a while- and out of total boredom one day, decided to take the hit and pay for a crazy overpriced, mediocre quality tent they had at a store here (we were desperate, and in need of instant gratification).

I didn't even look at the info on the box, only the picture to be honest. It was not until later that night, when Ryan was looking it over and told me not to throw the box away, that I noticed the detailed description the manufacture had so thoughtfully printed...

What exactly are Sea Balls?

It didn't matter to Quin though- she still has a blast playing in it. As you will see from all the blurry pictures!? It's impossible to get a good picture of a toddler playing a crazy game of "hide out away" (whatever that is). ;)

shoe envy

So...for Christmas, our friends decided to buy Quin rain boots. But not just any boots, you see- Hunter rain boots! Since I have wanted a pair myself for like 5 years now, I was a little jealous! They are super cute! And I can't wait until she can wear them. Everyday. Everywhere we go. :) Hopefully I'll have a matching pair someday soon!?

Not a bad way to spend New Year's

One advantage to living on a tropical island? It's never a bad day to head to the beach. And this year, New Year's Eve was no exception. Quin LOVES the sand and water! It is so much fun to watch her run, play, and eat shells! ;) (Yes- she is wearing clothes in the water. This actually started as a beach "walk". We quickly learned that our now mobile toddler is impossible to keep out of the water!)
