Special Friends' Day and Art

This year for the schools Grandparents and Special Friends' Day, Billy came to hang out with Maya and Dexter. They showed him all the cool stuff they were doing.

Billy with Maya and Dex.

Dexter showing off some of his art from the art show.

 Yes, that's Dexter with as a devil with a six (for his age).

 The brown creature in the center is a Platypus, Dexter's favorite animal. There is what looks like a 69 on top which is actually two sixes (for his age) positioned with one facing each way. There are colorful skulls all over him too. Dexter has an interesting aesthetic.

He Thinks It's Funny

Dexter likes any that could possibly be considered funny.

He thinks he looks funny with the towel on his head.

Of course, making fart jokes about Mom is pretty hilarious.

Wine Tasting Party

Mom and Dad signed up for a fun party for the auction at school. We got to tour some Sonoma wineries in style. There was a lot of partying starting at 10am and ending at 3pm. It was a rough afternoon when we got home!

 The party crew.

10am...champagne...sure!

Waiting for our next tour top of a hill.

"Mexico Getaway" video

Mexico in motion...

Gulf of California

We had a nice trip except that Maya and Momma caught the stomach bug that Dexter had before we left. Thursday was our last full day and the only day that we were all well.  We had planned a super fun trip with Marimar's friend, Paula. It was a fabulous day.

 Maya and Dexter on the boat.

Now with Kalea.

In wetsuits for swimming with whale sharks and sea lions. Mama swam with the whale sharks and the sea lions (no pictures). Maya swam with the whale shark for a brief moment while Dexter opted out. Maya and Dexter both opted out of swimming with the sea lions at a rocky outcropping. The water was very cold, but the experience was amazing.

After all that, we ended up at this cool beach!

Dexter alone on an island.

Now with his sister.

Todos Santos Menos Papa

For Spring Break, Daddy was finishing Solo, so Mama and the kids headed down to Todos Santos for a quick visit.

Daddy says goodbye.

Hello pool.

The water is warm!

In the courtyard. Such an amazing place.

Dexter loses tooth numero dos! This time he actually has the tooth!

 A picture sent to daddy.

One Less Tooth

Dexter loses a tooth and stuff...

 Dexter lost his first tooth. Unfortunately, he didn't actually know when he lost it and we didn't actually find the tooth. But it's gone. Good news is that the tooth fairy still came.

Making faces.

More faces.

Hilarious.

Packing for a special adventure with Mommy.
