Recent adventures have been a visit to the Kehl's Carnelian Bay House with Wiley friends, a cool day with sunshine after the minor storm the day before.
Steve fashioned a small sled hill by the driveway. Rachel's first snow sled ride- lost a boot :)

And before that was the Christmas - a couple more pics to enjoy. Her favorite present? Toby's! She helped unwrap his tennis balls.
then chillin time with Toby..
Most recently a visit to Dean family in Sacramento, playtime with 'Kenzie' Dean and 'Katy' Yezek (and basset hound Elvis).
And a pleasant suprise of running into family at Ikea! Aunt Barbara, Cousin Sandi, First Cousins Kate and Maddy
All around - Rachel's been a great help lately: from housekeeping to geocaching
To ring in the New Year we did a Rockin' Murder Mystery party

And a little dinner (yes the white ring is suppose to keep the plate stuck to the table, but she fixed that after a good chow time).
Rachel is starting to climb and run, and is known to put her hands out and push while saying "go 'way" to dogs when they crowd her. But when it comes to the dogs taking their break, they are her target and she loves to snuggle them. Her favorite toys are Toby, the dogs water dish, any available cooking pan or lid she pilfers from the kitchen, and her phone. She loves to dance, and will walk up close to the music (or tv playing it - even commercials) and shake her shoulders, stomp her feet, and clap her hands. Still six teeth - we expect more anytime.
