The Davis Farmer's Market

Here are some of the fun things to do at the Farmer's Market on a Saturday morning...


You can see the horses...


Or play in the fountains...


But this is what I came for:

The carousel is my favorite!


You can play tickle-me on a bench...

Or throw some airplanes around



You can even challenge a kitten to a friendly game of "Let's Bump Heads"

And one final shot just for gratuitous cuteness.

Baby-Gymnastics

People, I have a new passion, and it's gymnastics. Sure, I'm no Mary Lou Retton, but I learned to jump on a tramp-o-leen and walked across a balance-beam! The exercize benefits are amazing, and a mere 1-hour session guarantees me at least 2 hours of nap-time. Mommy loves that. Now I'm off to work on my back hand-springs...


Here I am playing in the parachute.

And tumbling with Mommy.



Can't wait until next week...

Dress Up With Ginger

True to the One I Love

As mentioned before, I have been betrothed to Sebi Jones. See link to my future husband (the chicos) at right. I am quite pleased with the arranged marriage because Sebi is most handsome, even for a three week old. I usually go for the older boys, but Sebi is already half their size and showing great potential.

Anyhoo, being betrothed is not as easy as one might think. I, being the cute girl that I am, have multiple suitors at any given time. Why, just the other day at the pool, my good friend Lolo (Logan) Keithley pulled some moves on me.


Here he is trying the old "good to see you pal, give me a hug" trick.


My snub doesn't phase him.


Obviously now he is in hot pursuit.


Does this kid get it? I'm spoken for, buddy.


Out you go. Move along now.

You just have to be firm when you're being true to the one you love.

like daddy, like daughter





And a little before and after for your viewing pleasure. A lot has changed since I was two months old, but somethings are still the same.

morning fun

There's nothing like going out for a little sunshine and fresh air in the morning while still in your jammies. Especially if Ginger is around to play with/ torment.

Oma, Mite, and Tatie

Ok, so we have some catching up to do. I am a busy girl these days with the pool open and gymnastics classes as part of my weekly routine. I had the best time over mother's day weekend (yes, I know it was a month ago) when my Oma, Uncle Mite (Mike), and Aunt Tatie (Katie) came to visit. We went to the Dixon May Fair, Old Sacramento, played at the park and ate chocolate. Lots of chocolate. Did I mention that I am now a chocolate addict. M&M's (affectionately referred to as "ding dings," "M.M.M.," and "choc-choc") are my drug of choice. My Oma also brought her "buzzers"(fingers ready and aimed for tickling) and taught me to use mine. Boy, do I love a good chase and tickle.


Peek a boo

silly Oma

checking out the Clidesdales, a.k.a. "big neigh"

1 2 3 jump

this is how I react when I get cut off from m&ms

It's about time someone joined me on the swings

Do you dare me? Double dog dare?
