March tid bits

I want March to be a "stay at home and enjoy life" type of month. With that being said... there are lots of things going on here!! Parker is a little wiggle warm who can roll over front to back and vise-versa!!! Coop is trying to make it to the big boy potty...uhm, ya, we need to work on that! The house is slowly being organized. I feel like Monica from friends, but it is wayyyy harder to keep things clean with two little ones around. Oh well, I always knew the day would come where things couldn't be spotless and left the way I placed them.

New things... got a 4 door car so I don't have to contort my body to get the kids in the Civic. But, that meant I had to say goodbye to my baby girl. It was VERY depressing to say goodbye after a decade of being together!! That car was well taken care of... better be kept that way MOM!!! Other new things, not much!

I FINALLY found an Uncle onesie!! What do you think of the model??

He likes to wear his undies, just doesn't understand how they work yet

This is JED... we went to Stars On Ice and had a blast... even when bbq was thrown on us (and my Coach purse which kinda sucked!)

We went to a wedding reception in San Clemente, at a beach house, literally on the beach. We even saw dolphins!

Sunset with the bug

Boys

Cooper dressed up as Woody for Samantha Fuji's princess party.

There was a bounce house... need I saw any more?

Parker was trying out the excersaucer. He always has such a pleasant look on his face (when he isn't crying)

Cooper demonstrating how to use the excersaucer

The boys

Parker got a Mickey onesie and hat for Vday, I LOVE it!!

Cooper is finally using the hooded blanket for nap time. I found it and he loves it

ZOO!!

We decided to go to San Diego for the last few days of Feb.... of course it rained when we decided to go, but at least we had just finished walking 5 miles at the zoo, so all was good!! I am pretty sure Cooper had a blast, Parker slept of course!!

We ate at my favorite restaurant in Old Town the night before an we visited the candy store... he was truly a "kid in the candy store." He smelled every barrel of taffy and got to choose what he wanted. He of course chose a dumdum!!! ahahha!

A really nice lady asked us if we wanted a picture... yay!! (can you tell it was kinda cold?)

Under the elephant butt

SLOTH!

Ohhh llama face.....

Baby elly

My dad was taunting the camel... I swear it was going to spit on us because of him

Melman....kind of

Parker's day at the zoo...

I have to brag!

I am the LUCKIEST girl!!! I have the cutest and easy going kids (which I can't say how much of a blessing their demeanor is for me), and a husband who takes care of us! I think I am lucky, others may think I am spoiled...either way, I am grateful and happy!! I wake up to two very smiley and talkative little boys every morning, and that makes me happy (even if I didn't get sleep that night)... and then I get to see how smart Cooper is getting everyday, and how big Parker is getting. Watching them grow up is a double edged sword. I want them to grow and excel but I want them to stay small and need me! Selfish I know, but I love when I can cuddle with them and hold them!!

Uhm, ya... sooooo Adorable!

I just want to squeeze him forever!!

Andy got PROMOTED!

YAY!! Andy just got promoted to Engineer/Paramedic! The boys and I are very proud of him yet so sad that he had to leave his crew! We love Chris and Tony. Tony got promoted also (to BC) so he would have left Station 10 shift B anyways. I am sure we will still see Chris and his family often enough. I really like everything about them!! Chris is like Andy's bestie I swear! Some of the things those two talk about... I just shake my head! But, I will miss stopping by to say hi to those guys. Tony has been Andy's Captain since he started there 5 years ago. Yes, he has been at City for 5 years and yet I still worry about his job daily. But, he loves what he does and that is all that matters!

Will Parker be a firefighter in the future???

Andy, Tony and Chris "B shift"

My Plea to Everyone!

I want to ask everyone to please take pictures when you are around the boys. I don't have as many of them with everyone as I want. I will try to remember to get my camera out too, but please help me out and either tell me to get my camera or just take pics and post/send them to me or Andy. I totally appreciate it... Thank you!!!

First trip of 2012 to Disneyland

We went to Disneyland with one of my friends from Knott's (not a skater) and her son who is two weeks older then Coop. The weather was PERFECT and the crowds were small. It was a fun time... short, but fun. Cooper stayed awake the whole time we were there too, and he stayed in a decent mood. Parker was good as always. We didn't get any family pics... it's really hard to do actually. But I am happy because I actually got to be in some pics with Cooper. I am usually the one taking them.

Ran into Mickey Mouse on the way out with NO line YAY!

Minnie Mouse at her house

Sebastian and Cooper doing the dishes!

Me and Cooper on Dumbo... he LOVES that ride!

But his favorite has to be this one!

Feb Mini Vaca #1

We decided to take a little trip to Vegas for my Grandparent's birthday celebrations (and to see my both of my Aunts), followed by a trip to visit Andy's Grandma in Utah. We had a good time, except we came back with a sick toddler and a broken windshield :(

Since it rained while we were at Andy's Grandma... and Cooper couldn't jump on her trampoline, throw rocks in the creek or ride the quad, Ramona suggested this newer place called AntiGravity for Coop. It was an indoor trampoline/bouncehouse place. It was amazing for Cooper because there were maybe 5 other kids there and tons of places to jump. Let's just say that after an hour, he told us he wanted a nap!!

My Aunt and David gave Coop a cute zipper pillow pig for Valentine's Day. He calls it Ham. Cute picture!

We took the boys to Circus Circus. Sorry to say that I would NEVER stay there because both of us felt so dirty and ghetto starting the second we got out of the car... BUT, the midway games are still the best and the cheapest (compared to Excalibur). Cooper had a GREAT time. I think we went around the games at least three times. I would much rather play games with him then put money into a slot machine :) I wasn't going to beat him here... I was showing him how to get the chicken into the pot, and yes, I rocked it and got both my chickens in... then Andy and Coop got one in too!

He is giving his prize pig a big kiss... and yes, the pig is strapped into the stroller.

They weren't so good at this game

He won Parker a little rhino with this game

He missed 2 out of 3 times... ball didn't even make it into the cup table. Hahahaha
