Say Cheese!

You think I look like this to him? This was taken earlier this year.

But all weekend he kept getting our cell phones and telling us "smile!" okay...it's more like SMIOOOO...so darn cute. How can you not smile?

3-4

Ugh...the big 3-4...I really don't like birthdays. But I have to say yesterday was a good day. Started with the little one sleeping through the whole night in his own bed...Ya Brandoncito!!! He woke up around 6:30 and we put him in bed with us to watch some toons...who doesn't love Handy Manny at 6:30 AM? My love let me take a long shower while he watched B and made us all breakfast. Then it was on to get B to his 18 month doctors appointment by 10...for the first time since he has been born...we made it to the appointment early! They got us right in. The boy did excellent. He was a little hesitant to let Dr. Z look in his mouth but once she got out popsicle stick he was okay...I think he thought he was going to get some ice cream. Ha! She said everything looked and sounded good. And we passed on getting him tested for Autism. I think for now he is good. I did appreciate the fact that they ask and have you do a questionnaire. After B gave Dr. Z a big high 5 and knuckle bumps we were out of there. I had a free b'day coupon from Starbucks so off we went to get me Chai tea. We dropped B off with the sitter and P and I went to see Sex & the City 2. I love Carrie and the girls! I had a great movie date with my love. Afterwards we went to get us new flip flops...another birthday coupon from Famous Footwear. $20 off...Hell Yeah!! I got 2 pair of chanclas! Then we went to pick up B to have a early dinner at Pei Wei. It had been too long since I had been there...I don't know why I don't go more often...I love that place. Brandon had never been...so I was a little worried...turns out he loves Pei Wei too. Then home to watch Suns/Lakers game...Oh it was so close!
All in all it was a great 34th Birthday!!

Wordless Wednesday

Wordless Wednesday

Potty training...sort of

On Saturday night B decided he wanted to take off his diaper...so P asked him if he had to go potty. He took off running to the bathroom door so I went and sat him on the toilet...nothing. Sunday night...he does the same thing...taking diaper off so I walk him to the bathroom and again I sit him on the toilet. This time I ask if he needs to poop. He just smiles at me...so I figured he did...he started pushing and the next thing I knew I felt something wet on my foot...he had peed out side of the bowl...onto my foot. I was so excited didn't even care that I had pee on my foot. Ha! Yes, I'm offically a mom when pee on my foot doesn't bother me (well my sons anyway). He was so proud of himself. I can't believe how big he is getting. What's next????

Easter

We started off by going through basket that the Easter Bunny brought...clearly he is not happy with the socks...LOL.

I wanted to have a picture of him sitting in basket like I did last year...yea, not going to work this year.
Look how sweet he looked here...in serious need of a haircut! 04/09 Back to this year. He wasn't all that excited about waking up from a nap to have to go outside and pick up things we had put on the ground for him.

He is used to us picking up after him not the other way around. He was really upset that we were making him pick things up...look at that face! I don't know where he gets that from...(cough**Mom**cough)But he did enjoy eating the eggs afterwards so that was a good thing. He ate 3 whole eggs, yolk and all. We had a very low-key day but it was beautiful....and Blessed.

All Grows Well!

This year we finally got our garden started. We have been talking about if for a while now but this year was the year. Paul's aunt had the hook-up with getting us these awesome tubs to keep a container garden. We decided to put them next to our shed...perfect spot to see them from my kitchen window.

Fill with dirt/compost from Singh Farm. ( A post about Singh Farm to follow)

Let your mom teach your son to drink out of water hose...hey it didn't kill us, right?

Get him cleaned up to let Tata push him around in a rusty wheelbarrel.
And after all that hard work....we got tomatoe plants, jalapenos, squash, zuchini, green onions, cucumbers, mint and basil. I can't wait to make my first salsa. I'll keep you updated on how things are growing.

Pioneer Days

Pioneer Days is what our small town calls their annual festival/carnival. I was excited to have Brandon get on rides...turnes out he is too young to ride any rides. Next year it's on! He did get to ride the horses and the little train with an adult. Thank God for Nana's and Tata's!

He rode the horses a lot.


You can't see his buddy Arman in this picture but he's on the next horse over.



Even daddy got in on the fun! And boy was he pissed when a 4 year old little girl beat him.
And mom and dad had a great night out with friends at the local bar. Even if Paul had to make me go home at 2:30 AM....Good times! Ha!
