Mommy & Daddy had a Date Night

We had a date night! Our friends Devon & Stephanie tied the knot! They had a beautiful ceremony in downtown La Jolla overlooking the water. Steph was stunning in her dress. We had a great time! Congrats to Devon & Stephanie!!!!

Keeping Busy

Riding on the dump truck with his hard hat

HC has been watching the boys for two weeks now---so far so good! He seems to be enjoying his time with them, and hasn't told us he's leaving yet! Riley and Mason are both really enjoying spending so much time with their uncle, and we are so relieved to have someone so wonderful watching them.

Reading the "vroom-vroom" book with Daddy

Playing in the bouncer at the 4th of July block party. Riley had a great time playing in it.

Riding like a big boy on his new bike! This thing is great-it has a handle for us to push him along with.

Mason's Baptism!

Great-Grandma with all five of her great-grandchildren! Isn't she lucky!?

Proud Mom and Dad (did Mason mention how tasty the strap is from his bonnet?)

What a beautiful godmother

Being baptized by Father Stephen

Mason was so lucky to have so many wonderful family and friends there to witness his baptism-even his cousins came-they were all so good for the whole ceremony!!!

Smiling with Grandpa and Alene-the strap is still mighty tasty-and quite soggy now!

Riley's Birthday Party

We had a great time at Riley's birthday party-thanks to everyone who came!

Playing chase with Kaylin and Aiden

Big cuz Tucker loved his cupcake!



So polite! Using a fork and knife?! He's never done that before!

A small pinch of frosting...

What am I supposed to do with these "hots"? Thank goodness the wind helped him to blow the candles out.

A Fun Week

The weather has been perfect--enjoying some time out in the beautiful sunshine

At the fair with Grandma-we loved the "moo-moo's"

Yummmm-avocado! I recommend these little mesh bags to any moms with little ones!

Nice hair!

Checking out the starfish at Sea World-we have had so much fun going there the last couple of weeks. We got a pass for mommy for Riley's birthday-which has been just fantastic. Riley loves to go and see the fish, dolphins, penguins and sharks.

Happy Birthday Big Boy!

Happy Birthday to the Big Boy! 2!! My goodness! Where has the time gone-it seems like just yesterday...

that you were wearing tupperware on your head and emptying the tupperware drawer everyday...

that you fit in the baby tub in the kitchen sink...

that we were celebrating your arrival (you were just perfect)...

that we were rubbing mommy's big belly every night wondering if you would be a little boy to love or a little girl! We love you so much! You make us very proud! Happy Birthday sweetheart!
