Independence Storm!

That should be a movie title!

We had some wild weather over the 4th of July holiday weekend, but made it through safe and sound. 

 Patriotic margarita cupcakes!

 Ready to represent!

Jumping for joy!

 Ready to square (and chicken) dance!

Big waves in the lagoon!

Big Weather!

One of the most interesting parts of living on a flat coral atoll is that the weather blows straight in off the ocean with nothing to mitigate it.  It is usually big, interesting, and gone as fast as it came.  Today we watched this storm blow across the lagoon.

That appears to be a wall of rain.

It is moving fast...

While the weather is bad outside, what should we do?  Cook!!  We want broc!!

Wild Weather

Wow, a double rainbow!

Fun with Kylie

Warning! Excessive cuteness! Proceed with CAUTION!!!

SO, Kylie is growing and changing each day, and basically one-upping her own cuteness factor at each turn. Here are some ridiculously cute happenings around Casa Oakley these days! Also, we dug through the "clothes that don't fit yet" bin, and found some real treasures!

 Waterspout? Very specific downpour? Eyeore, or somebody with their own personal black raincloud?

You be the judge!

 Out of ideas for the baby?

Put her in a reusable shopping bag / swing / baby elevator / peekaboo fort!

Our housekeeper was laughing her a$# off with this one!

 Fun with the peeker!

 Kaleidoscopic!

 This is one of K's current favorite toys!

 Cropped baby top and Daisy Duke shorts! Classic!

 Oh yeah! We had a power outage, and thus a romantic candelit dinner!

 Wowee-zowee!

 Send in the clowns!

 I really wanted to win this boat for Brazilian Father's Day! haha!

This one's for you O'Winstons!

Crocs are baby tooth indestructible!
