Random March Photos

Daddy got this bear for Cooper...it has recorded bedtime stories that Eric reads to him. 

Cooper likes it.

 And it worked!

 On a nice bike ride!

 Cool dude...ready to go for a bike ride!

 Peek-a-boo where is Ryder. He love to climb in there and shut the door and then pop it open. He laughs and laughs.

 This kid doesn't like being locked in the house.

 Hmmm...Did Cooper want to put sunscreen on his scar.  Uncle Jaron says to make sure it doesn't get any sun...Cooper has learned already!

 Nothing like enjoying a nice swing on a nice spring day.

 Bowling fun with sibling help.

 Someone dressed himself today.

 Our new boat! A step up from our old one.  This one is just a little more reliable.

 Easter 2013...yep these are the only photos I took.  It was a low key Easter.  A little gift and candy always do the trick. And of course an Easter egg hunt too.

Happy 10th Birthday, Brooklyn!

SURPRISE...She didn't know what to think when the balloons fell on her when she opened her door. She was tired and couldn't figure out why we were yelling and saying Happy Birthday to her through the door to wake her up. She loved it though.

We took her to lunch for her birthday. I pulled her out of school which she loved! Daddy met us there too. Special treat for Brooklyn. She didn't know he was coming. She likes these huge burritos from La Parrilla.  (Best Mexican food.. Love it)

 Cooper and Ryder joined us.

 She wanted birthday cake ice cream.  She loved it.

 And she got an Itouch. She was happy!

Happy Birthday Brooklyn. We love you!

Daddy's Little Side Kick

Some Random shots in Febrary

Riding in the play shopping cart! He is NOT for sale though!

We have SOLAR! Yeah! And didn't pay a penny for it.  It doesn't technically belong to us...but if it saves us money...it is worth it to me!

Somebody made himself a popsicle...and a large one at that.

 Cooper is such a helper...and Ryder doesn't care who feeds him..he just wants food!

 Cooper is his Daddy's son!  He has to "fix" his car too.

 Cooper loves his book from Grandma and Grandpa.  He loves that they read the story to him.

 I thought this was sooo cute.

 Hmm I think Ryder is a little too young for wrestling Cooper. Poor Ryder.

Some little things about Ryder this month..at 9 months:

*We figured out that Ryder's feet turn quite a bit.  When he crawls they turn all the way in. Not sure how this will affect his walking future. Time will tell. The doctor said it should straighten up once he is walking.

*Loves toys

*Loves food

*Loves mommy and daddy

*Sleeps in his own room

*Eats everything still...good and the bad.

*He isn't skinny, he isn't fat...he is just right.  

*His hair is really starting to grow

*He is very happy and smiley.  

*He take one good nap a day...mommy loves nap time.

Daddy Daughter Dance!

Eric took Brooklyn to her 1st Daddy Daughter Dance.

She LOVED it!!!! 

She was so excited to get all dressed up!

She even asked our neighbor girl to come over and do her hair.

Daddy did her finger nails, since he is becoming an expert on them. 

I was so excited for Brooklyn to experience this with her dad. I have very fond memories of going to these dances and activities with my dad or sometimes substitutes if he was out of town. I loved them and I was so excited that a couple puts one on for our county. 

 So grown up!

 I made that wristlet...I must say...it turned out cute and didn't fall apart!
AND look at those nails...good job daddy!

 Dinner before the dance...Jon and Layla went with them to the dance.
At Renee's in Lakeport.

 Beautiful Young Ladies!

Their picture from the dance.

Britney doing Brooklyn's nails...she was so sweet and helped get her all dolled up!

Brooklyn can't wait until next year!
She loved dancing with her daddy...especially when he taught her how to swing dance.

WICKED AWESOME!!!!

Valentine's Date in the City to see WICKED!

I have always always wanted to see WICKED!  They played in San Fran for years, and I always wished we had gone while they were there.  So... when I saw the commercial for their 4 week homecoming...I had to go. I immediately found tickets...but most were already sold out...so I asked Eric if he would take the day off work to take me. And he was so sweet and said he would.  We went on Feb 13th...so we celebrated Valentines one day early.  It as a perfect day!  It was so nice to be together without any cares...just us being together!

View over over Golden Gate Bridge!

The Stage was incredible...I actually got in trouble for taking this picture. No pictures of the stage, I guess.

 My HOT Date! He isn't a "Play" guy...but I have heard anyone likes this play. And he did!

 After the AMAZING Show...we headed to Tommy's.  Eric saw this restaurant on Man vs Food...so we had to check it out.  Eric loved his sandwich...mine had a little too much fat. But it was a good place to eat.

 And then we couldn't go to the city without getting Ghirardelli's Ice Cream!

Before we headed to the city...Eric had a surprise for me...he did my nails.  He knows I like getting my nails done, so he actually googled how to do it and bought all the stuff. He had it all ready and did a full manicure. It was so sweet...I  loved how thoughtful it was. A great gift from my love!

PERFECT VALENTINES DAY WITH MY LOVE!

Funny Smart Little Boy

Cooper cracks me up.  He is one smart little boy. One day I caught him doing this...now if only we could trust him to do Ryder's.  

Scout Hike!

Eric went with Easton for his first Scout hike. 

They hiked Mt. St Helena...beautiful view of the Napa Valley.  

They had a great time.  

Scouts has began..I remember scouts with all  my brothers...

it seemed like a lot of time and work. Easton likes it!
