Listening to the birds of Priest Point Park.

Bron's all dressed to go swimming at the neighborhood indoor pool.  I don't know what she's doing with her gardening bag or that pink winter hat.  I could not talk her into taking that dang thing off her head.

Early Summer 2011

 

Bron's first roller coaster ride.  We rode the pumpkins at Remlinger Farms.

Chowing on some roasted corn on the cob.  She's such a little person now.  This was at Auburn Kids Day in Les Gove Park.

 

Back at Swan Creek, my favorite Tacoma secret.

 

Bron celebrated her Uncle Thomas' graduation from high school by partying all day on the picnic playground with her cousins...from both sides of the family!

Trimming the tree.

Santa brought Bron an umbrella for Christmas.  He's so practical.  (Santa also brought toys and candy.)

Bron enjoys the toothbrush and candy cane she pulled out of her stocking.

Bronwyn celebrated Halloween dressed as Elmo.  She's quite the Elmo fan.

Bron with her two lovies: Baby and Monkey.

It's a trip to compare 2010 Christmas and Halloween pictures of Bron to 2009.  They're available here.

She likes the garlic

Bronwyn was watching me cut up some garlic for dinner.  The conversation went something like this.

Bron: I like it!
Dad: You like garlic?
Bron: Yesss!  I like the garlic!
Dad: You like raw garlic?
Bron: Yes I do.
Dad: Are you asking for a piece of this garlic?
Bron: Yes!
Dad: Are you sure?
Bron: Yes!!
Dad: Umm okay, here you go...
Bron: Mmmm delicious!!
Dad: ....ew.

Summer Recap

We discovered Swan Creek Park this summer.






Bronwyn enjoys "helping" out in the kitchen.


We took a day trip to Ocean Shores this August. After the initial shock of how awesome the beach was, Bronwyn ran to the water like she's been looking for the ocean her whole life.




Bron's first visit to the dentist. She wouldn't open her mouth.


Mom and Bron celebrate Uncle Thomas' 18th birthday party with cupcakes.


Mmmm corn bean salsa.


Bron likes the fancy Safeway shopping carts.


Bronwyn wearing Mom's leather coat. Crystal says Bronwyn looks like a little biker chick in this photo. I say she looks like a toddler vampire.


There's a nice little playground two blocks from our house.
