Beach Day: Carlsbad, California

Noah really liked to eat the sand! He kept putting handfuls of sand in his mouth and saying "ummmmmm" which in Noahnese means "yummy"!

We tried to bury his legs, but our little man is a wiggle worm!

August 8th-15th, 2011

This week started out with Gabriel eating rice cereal for the first time! He loves it!
And Noah figured out the drawers in the kitchen work great as a "step-stool"! I was feeding Gabriel and turned around to see Noah on the counter! Notice the knives directly behind him! I about fell over dead on the spot! Ahhh! On Tuesday locks were installed on the drawers...they were already installed on all the cabinets.

On Wednesday Noah & Gabe had their friend AJ come over for a play-date... AJ was born in February so is only a few weeks older than Gabe!
Gabe, AJ, & Noah

On Friday Noah got a new drum! We read a book to him every night that has a drum in it so we thought it would be fun for him to actually drum on a drum rather than all over the furniture!

On Saturday Noah & Gabe had a birthday party to go to with the girls that live across the street... They are 5, 10, & 14... Their Mom put on a party for all three on the same day! Noah liked their bike helmet & lawn mower...

Did I mention mention we are stickin' to two kids??? LOL!
Sunday morning they had eggs and CHOCOLATE CAKE! Aunt is great... she gave us chocolate cake! LOL!!!

Sunday night Uncle Johnny came over to drop off Finn because he's going to Michigan for a week... Gabe looks pretty happy! 2 hours past his bed time and still smiling...
Monday morning... Daddy off to work.... Eating breakfast!

Noah loves his eggies and toast every morning!

Weekend in Fresno



Noah jumped off the diving board for the first time at Grandma Coco's! Daddy caught him and Uncle Corey handed him off!
And Daddy has recently taught him how fun it is when noses go "beep beep"!
Gabe is now getting up on all fours... no rocking yet thank goodness!

August 5th-7th

This weekend we headed up to Fresno which is where Casey grew up. For those of you who are not familiar with California Fresno is smack dab in the middle of California. We decided to head up last minute on Thursday night so the boys would sleep on the trip. We left San Diego around 6pm and made it to Papa J's around 1 am...following a stop for dinner. On our way we made plans to visit with Grandma Coco on Friday while Papa J worked. We headed over to her house for some swimming and pizza. It was a great visit with our fish (aka Noah) jumping off the diving board for the first time! On Saturday we headed to Bass lake which is about an hour from Papa J's. We headed up to do some boating and to celebrate Carolyn's birthday. Papa J brought up the boat and Carolyn brought her jet skis so everybody was able to get some time out on the lake. The kids just enjoyed playing in the water and building "sand castles" on the shore. We spent Sunday just visiting and relaxing after a long day on Saturday! Hope you enjoy the pictures! Love to all!
