Kevin's 30th Part II

To not leave all the fun details of Kevin's 30th b-day to only our memories and hence ourselves, I brought my camera along for the fun, here's a brief recap of Vale celebrating her daddy's big day with him. First stop was the delicious and always happening bird rock coffee roasters in la jolla, this place not only has the best coffee in town, but they also have a kids play area, healthy kid snacks and there is always an abundance of babies, toddlers, big kids and dogs for Vale's entertainment. I'm only a coffee sip stealer and not a regular drinker but I do love their tea latte, yum yum! Vale is always watching daddy and getting a hold of the empty coffee cup was a total score for our little one.

The next stop was La Jolla shores to check out the seals and let Vale run around in the lush grass area. People couldn't get enough of her with her oh so cool dress, a christmas gift from tita Kalani. Standing in that grass I couldn't help but remember all the times I've been there...Once pregnant waiting for my dad to finish the half marathon and later running into Kevin and Mr. K and Kalani who had also just finished the la Jolla half marathon. And last year with Vale now in tow, waiting for Kevin and my dad to finish the race. I wonder who we'll be cheering on this year...

none b-day side note: I want to give Vale bangs, but I'm such a CHICKEN! I love her side sweep and there's something about her first haircut that makes me want to postpone it as much as possible. I don't want her to look like a big girl and I think that bangs will make her look it. But by the end of most days the tips of her hair are full of oatmeal, yogurt, fruit, cough syrup (she's battling a nagging cough right now), you name it, if she ate it, there are remnants of it in her hair. I think we'll wait till her 1 1/2 to give her the trim she so desperately needs. Also, I think with the way her hair falls naturally to one side it won't look like those cute bowl looking bangs every girl wears as a baby. What do you guys think?

that face!
