Look at the Pretty Colors

We went to dinner tonight with my brother and stopped off at the local Acapulco's. Not like I don't eat enough mexican food throughout the week but what's one more stop (I had a carne asada burrito for lunch today as well)? Anyway, we had just finished eating and Jayden wanted to go for a walk around the outside dining area. We stopped by the flowers and I whipped out the camera once I saw that she was interested in the flowers. This is a key reason I keep my camera with me at all times. I get a lot of crap from people because I am always lugging this bad dog around but this shows why I don't mind carrying an extra 25lbs of gear with me...ALL THE TIME. I might go days without taking a picture but I always have my gear with me. Jake calls my backpack my baby which is quite true. Photos like this though show why I love carrying around my babies.

Tomorrow will have another flower photo post from tonight's after dinner walk.

Jayden's First Birthday

Look at that face. What an adorable little boo. Considering she was pretty darn sick about a week before this, the smile was extra special. Jayden caught some bug that was going around and she was pretty mellow through the Mother's Day weekend. For Mother's Day, I sent Jess and Jake to a Padres game. It was good for them because they don't get to spend much time together like they used to. For one, Jayden takes up a lot of Jess' time. Secondly, Jake is kinda going through a phase where hanging out with Mom & Dad ain't what it used to be. Anyway, that Sunday was probably the most quietest day in our house for a long time. Jayden literally slept most of the day and when she did get up, all she wanted to do was lay her little head down on mommy or daddy. She definitely wasn't our normal little fireball. She felt pretty crappy up until Tuesday and then my little firecracker came back to life.

Right now is so cool because she finally started walking. She's only taken a few spills but we keep a really close eye on her because of all the tile in our house. Now she feels like an independent woman and she is off and going. Now if I could just get her to give me some shoogies. She shakes her head no when I ask her to give me some shoogies. It is pretty darn cute.

Well, I hope you all enjoy the photos. Until next time....

Haircut For the Birthday Girl

Here's Jayden during her haircut for her birthday party. Her hair was a freaking rat's nest and we had to do something about it. Little milestones like this are such an eye opener for how fast time goes by. Her 1st birthday was last month and we took her to the same place we took Jake for his first haircut. Jess went all out for this birthday. She spent countless hours on the invitations and all the other little trinkets for the big day. Jake had a baseball game that day so I was busy watching him while the ladies got the decorations set up. All in all, I think the day went great. We appreciate all the attendance and wish others could have been there.

Jake's baseball season is over so hopefully I will have some more time to post. It has been crazy around here for the past few months. Jayden is finally walking and she is about to become a model for daddy. More seminars are coming up and I have been doing a lot of studying and not doing. It's time to play around some more.

We hope everyone is doing well and we will talk to you soon.
