August 20th mommy found out that I had a new tooth…
I don’t want to show anyone mommy!
What? You can’t see it from here?
How about now? I’ll give you a hint, it is down by my lip on my right hand side.
Enough already! They can see it!
Ladies…I now have a new haircut and tooth…
Mommy made Cedar Plank Salmon over a charcoal grill, everyone said it was really yummy…I enjoyed it afterwards in liquid form.
Mommy says I have to stay warm…
I discovered a new food, raspberries…YUM!
What the *#?!, get me out of there mom, it’s WAY to cold!
Mommy, I know I’m a baby but that doesn’t mean I have to be a nudist!
Mmmm, dog tongue.
Daddy, I just want to eat the rocks!
I do love the water even when it is ice cold.
Me in my chariot, mommy walked me all uphill for almost 2 miles, she was tired!
Playing ball with Bruce, he let me hit his head with it, silly Bruce!
Blood is rushing to my head, really fast!
Let’s see what you have in there, maybe dentistry will be my calling. I can start on my mommy…I hear she has really bad teeth!
This is the nut job from the other side of the campground…he somehow found his way into Auntie Teresa’s tent!
Blu is all tuckered!
Daddy kisses.
What are these things and how do I get them?!?
New doggy hat, I think I inhaled to much campfire smoke!
Last night of camping, enjoying the nice toasty fire before bed. Thanks Uncle Bruce for organizing everything, I love to see you and play all day long.
Mommy took me back to the beach for the lowest tide of the summer and this time Katri, James, Jessica and Karli came with us. We had so much fun!
This is my new crabby hat.
Katri was helping James walk over the slimy mess, he didn’t like it very much.
If I didn’t know any better I would think that was a sea monster, yikes! Mommy tells me it is called a Sun Star.
A purple Starfish
Me and my mommy…
Eeek, it’s a crab, a much bigger one!
Karli dug out a Sea Snail and Jessica found it very interesting! I thought it was rather slimy!
James has a baby Sun Star in his hand, that was the only thing he was brave enough to touch.
Thanks for coming along everyone, I always love to see you!
Today mommy and daddy took me to Golden Gardens in Ballard because it was the lowest tide of the summer. 
It’s going to be awhile until this guys goes anywhere!
We also got to see Native Americans heading off on their journey to Neah Bay. http://paddletomakah.org/
Some history:
The event is in its 21st year. Each summer, as many as 100 canoes from U.S. tribes and Canadian First Nations participate in the Tribal Canoe Journey. The journey by cedar canoe honors a centuries-old custom of transport, harvest and trade by Coast Salish Tribes.

What a cool tradition!
These are worm like things we found under the rocks…daddy would take the rock off and they would wiggle around like crazy. Daddy wasn’t sure what to do the first time.
A hermit crab
Mommy and daddy wouldn’t let me eat this, but I sure wanted to!
Help, it’s got me!
Daddy, you are nasty!
Standing at the top of the water table. Mommy is going to bring me back on Monday when the water is out further, I can’t wait!
This weekend my daddy & mommy took me to Vancouver…the other Vancouver, up in Canada. It was so cool. My auntie Tanya told mommy about Granville Island so they took me there and I think my mommy is in love. I really loved it too because they have a community water park that is FREE! Mommy says we will be going back often.
Run daddy, run!
Going through the car wash…
That was a wet one!
Fun stuff!
Check out my cool trick, now I’m in Canada…
Still in Canada as you can see…
Good thing I have this…cause they may not let me back into America!
Glad this thing has pictures, otherwise it would be pretty boring.
Mastering the art of reading upside down. This is a great talent folks!
ahh…the nice green grass, in…can you guess? 
The United States of America! That was a pretty cool trick huh, in Canada one minute and the US in the other. I’m just a traveling baby!
Mommy, it’s time to go, daddy is almost through the border…we don’t want him to leave without us!
Thanks for hanging out with us Daryl, we all hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Vancouver and have a great trip back to Ontario. I hope one day I get to come visit you in Ontario one day.
Daddy took me swimming in the pool, it was chilly!
But I was still having a great time!
Splish, splash, splish, splash, in the swimming pool…
The Shepherd Family – Jeff, Camden, Renee and Carter
All of us on the beach in Carlsbad
Me and the guys…
Yum…sand in my mouth, nose, eyes, ears and every where else! I may have went face first, oops!
Hey, check it out, I have a wiener dog on my 4th of July outfit!
Time for our 4th of July baseball game
All tuckered out!

Auntie Renee has some super long legs in this picture!
Fireworks at the park
Uncle Dan, Auntie Michelle and Kalia, Auntie Renee, Uncle Jeff, Carter and Camden – I sure am a lucky boy to have all of you in my life!
All of us kids.
Are we done yet?!?
So much heat at the Wild Animal Park, I can’t take it anymore…time for a snooze.
This is a white Rhino, 1 of 7 that are left in the world…6 are above breeding age so this Rhino will be extinct by the time I grow up.
This lion sleeping on top of a Land Rover.
I hope you enjoyed some of the pictures from our adventures in San Diego, I look forward to the day that I get to go back because I only got to see half the zoo and a little bit of the Wild Animal Park. Thanks Uncle Jeff and Auntie Renee for sticking around and taking us to the airport. We sure appreciate it! It was good to see all of you and I love you lots! See you soon!
Mommy played with an Elmo puppet with me and I LOVED it!
Kalia watching the roller coaster, she liked it just as much as I did.
I enjoyed the Flamingo’s, they were talkin’ up a storm!
On Saturday mommy and daddy took me to the San Diego Zoo
This was our view at lunch, I enjoyed watching the water
What is on my head…one day you are going to tell me it isn’t ok to play with the napkins, shame on you mommy!
This Chimp was so adorable…playing and having a good ole’ time, I could have watched her for hours!
Little did I know that she was sticking her had down her throat to barf up some stuff and re-eat it. Mommy told me this was NEVER allowed!
Check out the neck on these turtles! My grandma’s turtles would be super cool if they could do that.
Lovebirds, just like my mommy and daddy!
I really do have it easy! Chillin’ in the stroller while mommy and daddy push me everywhere.
This was a BIG cat!
It’s a little monkey, just like me. 
Good thing the lions were sleeping…
One sleepy camel, he even poops in his sleep just like me!
Man, I’m so stinkin’ cute!
Let’s go on a safari!
I love you daddy, but I’m not going anywhere with you and that hat!
Daddy was doing his part and wearing the nursing cover to keep the sun off my tender head while I took a nap.
For the Fourth of July weekend, we went on a trip to San Diego! I got to see Uncle Jeff, Aunt Renee, Carter, Camden, Uncle Dan, Aunt Michelle and Kalia. We went to SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo, a baseball game and a Wildlife Park!
Here are the pictures from SeaWorld…
I saw a very rare flying Dolphin.
I stole Mommy’s sunglasses.
We went to see the Killer Whale show – it sounded pretty scary!
They could fly too!
and they did backflips! We got splashed a tiny bit.
Brrrrr! The Polar Bear lives in a cold place!
Kalia had lots of fun too.
Mommy ran me through a sprinkler – it felt great!
