The Garden

We are doing our square foot garden again this year. We had so much success with it last year so Kaleb of course wanted to help Daddy.




We've planted strawberries, corn, cantaloupe, watermelon, cucumbers, tomatoes,peppers, and onions.

Jazelle checking out the seeds. She wanted to get in on the action as well.

Kaleb had made these signs to put in the Garden to keep the dogs and cats out. He wrote the letters all by himself and circled the pictures/crossed them out.





"You have your hand's full"

After hearing that a friend of mine had sold their house, and had to move out within a short notice, I offered to watch her 2 girls. Her girl's are the same age as Kaleb and Jazelle. So she brought them over in the morning and I asked if I could take them out. If you know me I don't like to stay in the house. So I decided to take them to an indoor playground a 1/2 hr away. This way they could play their little hearts out and not make a mess in my house! haha


So here we are...

Tiny Town




This roller coaster ride was a big hit.




We had to have stayed for 2hrs, and the kids did not want to leave. But I was exhausted. I really enjoy being around lots of kids even though most think I'm crazy. I miss teaching Preschool, and to have fun with a few extra kids is what I enjoy. I am so happy to be able to help others.

Fun with paint

A New Birthday

I just received a call from my OB's office stating that they have scheduled my c-section.

Our Baby Boy will be born..

She also informed me that I should arrive at the hospital no later than 10:30am, Fasting.
Oh how the memories, nerves and excitement came back.

I sure hope they are on time this time. :)

Father/ Son Trip

A few weeks ago Jason took Kaleb on a Father/ Son trip to San Fransisco! just for fun. Jazelle and I dropped them off at the airport Friday afternoon. Kaleb got to meet the Pilot, and sit in his seat! He was so excited.


That night they went and watched the Harlem Globetrotters game.


Kaleb now thinks he's a basketball player.

They rented a car while there and the guy gave them an upgrade to a Mercedes.
Jason says he was treated so nicely, because he had Kaleb. What can I say Kaleb is a heart-breaker. So they drove over to the Golden Gate Bridge and actually walked on it, something I have never done.


The next day they rode the trolley down to Giradelli square and got to enjoy a Sundae. Kaleb is not a fan of vanilla so Jason had to get chocolate everything. Once the ice cream arrived Kaleb would not eat any of it. So Jason "had" to finish it all on his own.


They also toured the local cable car museum.




They both had a wonderful time together. Jason informed me that Kaleb kept saying That he wished Mommy was there to see what he was seeing. How sweet that he missed me. Jazelle and I missed them both and were glad that they came home safely.
Kaleb had picked out a gift for Jazelle also, a motorcycle! Jazelle loves it.

California Adventure

Day 1 of our family vacation. We decided to go to Disneyland. Since there was a 2for1 special going on we decided to take it. We visited California Adventure the 1 st day then went to Disneyland the next. We wanted to go all out knowing it would be awhile till we got out, so we decided to stay in the Disneyland Hotel. It was so nice.

We got to our room and was amazed. The kids really were fascinated with the head board that lit up and played music "A dream is a wish your heart makes"

We settled in that night, excited for the next day.




It was raining the day we went to California Adventure, but soon burned off in the afternoon.
Jazelle here is enjoying a fresh made tortilla from the tortilla shop. You could walk through and watch them cook.

We went on a few rides, here we were on A bug's life ride. Everything was giant sized so it felt like you were as small as a bug.

The flowers were in bloom and beautiful.
We decided to see the Playhouse Disney show, which featured Handy Mandy, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and The Little Einsteins.

Jason and Kaleb got to watch the Pixar play parade. Kaleb loved seeing his favorite characters.

At the end of the day we met Auntie Latorr in Downtown Disney for dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. Latorr just works down the street from Downtown Disney and it was so nice to see her.



Disneyland! :)

Our 2nd day of our vacation we went to Disneyland. Since we stayed in the Disney Hotel we got to get into the park an hour before it opened. We took the tram which drops you off inside of the park. Jazelle absolutely loved her 1st Disney trip she was fascinated with the characters and all the new stuff to see. Kaleb did great as well, he tried new rides and wasn't as scared as the last time we went. Jazelle did get a fever and we had to find some Tylenol in the middle of the day, but poor thing hung in there.



Nemo ride, the 1 st ride we went on.

Since we got there early that morning we decided to have Breakfast with the Characters. It was a buffet so I was all for it being pregnant. :) It was pretty tasty as well. The kids enjoyed having the characters come visit them at their table.


Jungle cruise.




Captain EO was interesting, the first 3D movie made. The seats would shake as if you were in a ride, Jazelle actually fell asleep toward the end of it.

We did not stay for the fireworks, but saw them on the way out. Kaleb had a fit because he wanted to pull the car over and watch them.
