Jared's First (of many) Baseball Game

Jerry and a couple friends have season tickets this year to the Angels. One of his friends couldn't go, so we all got to go as a family last night which was really fun! Jared was so excited and loved all the lights and sitting in his own big boy chair.

He ate Subway and even had some potato chips. It was so cute to see him clap when they were doing the Angel's line--when everyone would clap he would look around and start doing the same--then he started dancing with the music!

There were a couple little boys around us and he gave one little boy a high five (so cute)! Jared really wanted to drink what Jerry had (a beer) so once he finished it, Jerry gave him his cup (don't worry it was empty) which Jared thought was so cool!

Jared and I left after the fourth inning when he started to get tired. Overall, he did really well and we had a blast! I am sure he will be going to many more baseball games.

Happy Mother's Day!!

I want to wish all the mom's out there a Happy Mother's Day! I hope you all enjoy your day.

For some of the mom's in my life, it is their first Mother's Day and I want to wish you all a very Happy First Mother's day!

Jared's First Disneyland Adventure!

On May 2, our whole family went to Disneyland to celebrate my mom's birthday. My sister Allison, her boyfriend Kyle, Jerry, myself and Jared all went to the happiest place on earth! And boy was it ever! It was Jared's first time there and he just loved it--and we all loved seeing how happy he was there too.

He was such a trooper the whole day and went on lots of rides--his favorite was Small World for sure. He danced around the whole time, and studied everything.

He also went on Pirates, Haunted Mansion, the new Pooh ride and the merry-go-round. With only a 30-minute cat nap the entire day, you would never know by how happy he was. We thought he would fall asleep so fast that night, but it took him over 30 minutes to actually fall asleep! I guess he couldn't stop thinking about all the excitement and new things he saw! I do know that Jerry and I were exhausted after spending over 7 hours there with a toddler, but it was worth it for sure. I will be getting a pass soon so we can go often with all our friends who has passes but for shorter time frames. :)

Daddy and Me Swimming

Last night was swimming again and Jared just loves swimming with his daddy! He does so much better in the water with Jerry--he probably feels safer plus dads are just more fun!

Jared just loves his humpty dumpties (sat on the wall and had a great fall into the water that is)--he was so excited and kept say "dat" and pointing to the wall so Jerry would put him back on it so he could jump in the water!

Swimming Lessons

Jared and I started taking swimming lessons last week with a group of our friends through the city of HB on Tuesday and Thursday nights. At first, he wasn't too sure about it (he had a death grip around my neck the first lesson), but after his second lesson, he started warming up to the water. I even dunked him under once and he didn't cry! I think we will have a little swimmer this summer.

Play Date with the kidos

Jared and I had a lunch play date last week at Jami's house (a friend who we met through Lindsay) and we all had a great time (although Jared was kind of fussy that day). Michelle and Giovanni were down visiting for the week from Port Hueneme and were able to join us too which was great. Jared, Giovanni and Kora are all two weeks apart from each other so it was fun to see them playing together (or apart). We are so lucky to have so may friends with kids around Jared's age. I think we are making this a weekly adventure so all the kids can play and moms can talk to each other often about mom stuff!

Jared's 1st Birthday Party

On Saturday, Jared turned 1 (well kind of) since he is born on leap day, and we had a big party with all our family and friends there to help us celebrate. Jared ate some cake and ice cream and loved it as you can see below, and got so many gifts! Our house now officially

looks like Toys-R-US!

Thank you to everyone who came to help us celebrate this huge milestone! Jared had a great day but was ready for bed after all the excitement was over. He actually said Mama a few times and Lindsay witnessed it! That is what I wanted for his birthday. Here are some more photos from his big day--enjoy and we love you all so much!
