4 good things

Faye started her new daycare this week. She loves it. She is the youngest kid and the toughest.
Here's Faye and Fran on the first day in the morning. Check out Buttermakers bad ass mowhak.
So punk.

Still loves the swing like a fat kid loves cake.

This kid eats like nobody business. Double fisting anything that you put in front of her.
Breakfast eating machine!!

And that brings me to the 4th good thing. Even though Faye wasn't there (sadly) it was still pretty awesome.
Matt, Savannah and I drove to Scappoose Oregon because we heard Derek Anderson was going to be hanging out in his hometown bar. Who's Derek Anderson?? Come on!! Only the starting Quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. Did I mention that he was also the starting Pro Bowl quarterback last season? He's from Oregon.
Derek was really cool. We were total dorks and totally talked to him. I had about 3 pints of courage in me. I walked up to him and said "Congratulations" to him. He looked at me all squirrelly and said "for what"? I said for winning the Superbowl in 09. That got a laugh from him and a backslap so hard that I spit and choked a little. Even though we are the same height he is twice my size. Check out how happy Matt is. He's about ready to bust. I think he was peeing a little in his shorts as this picture was taken.
Faye totally loves the Browns.

Billetproof

I'm doing this a little backwards and half assed but I had this feeling today that I am a total slacker and need to post something. So I give you one AWESOME image of Flavor Faye and Daddy at the Billetproof car show in Chehalis Washington. It was the best car show that I have ever been to. Check out why here http://www.billetproof.com/. Just a really great day in the sun with my girls (and Geoff Cecil) and the coolest cars that I have ever seen. The reason why this post is backassed is that I went to Big Sur and met up with Fran and Faye in New York prior to this day and I need to post those pictures and story as well. Geoff just took a great photo and I wanted to get it up asap. So stay tuned...Photos of Faye Gordon taking over NYC are soon on the way.

It was 100 degrees and Faye was still as cool as it comes.

Raspberries

Last week we were in Santa Monica. Fran had to go for work so we took the whole family.
Here are a few snaps on this awesome green couch in the hotel room.

Fayes a great traveler and a better model.

Hi Grandma, I'm going to grab your nose.

Somebody loves the camera.


She loves to make the raspberries.

Get out of town!
(Check out her first 2 teeth)

Swinging

So the swing at the park is Faye's new favorite thing!!
It makes us so happy to watch her having so much fun.
We love the park!

Busy Busy Busy

We've been traveling and working our asses off. Here is a quick teaser of The Buttermaker.
She will be going to LA, San Francisco, New York, Chicago and Seattle all in one month.
Yikes this kid is cosmopolitan!!

Okay...So...Whatever!!

Well we got the photos back from Faye's picture day at school and I was very impressed.
Dude did a good job. Decide for yourself.
Although... is it me? or is it a bit strange that Buttermaker is in a box?? Come on! That was my schtick with her 6 months ago.
We've been there done that.
Mr. school photographer nerd needs to come up with his own ideas.
But God Damn if this ain't a cute portrait!
Okay...So..Whatever!! He did good.
But who's baby in a box picture is better??
Yeah! That's what I thought!!

Damn.
