Summer Recap

I know we're well into fall but it wouldn't feel right if I didn't post about our summer especially Alex's 2nd birthday.

Alex turned two years old in August. He is such a delight! He is funny, smart, lovable, friendly and did I mention funny. He loves his blankey, Spiderman toys, and baba. I know it's time to part with his baba but when he looks at me with those precious eyes and says "Momma baba, peash" well I just melt. He loves to dance, wrestle, and watch movies. He knows his basic shapes, some of numbers 1 -10, and letters A and B. I'm working on it but truthfully he rather just run around and play, typical boy.

I cannot say it enough, I love this boy of mine!

He kept doing funny poses for us.

Zoo Day on a Work Day

I took a much needed day off from work and took the kids to the zoo. Added bonus on that day, Jason and The Aviles' came with us. Greatful that the brother-in-law came because that double stroller is a pain on those hills!

The number one reason these kids like the zoo....ice cream and CHURROS

Beach Day

We only made it out to the beach once this summer. I'm not complaining, not my favorite place, but we really should try to go more often for the kids. Have I mentioned how much they love the water? Well, Alex prefers a swimming pool but Emma will take water anywhere. Next summer we are definitely doing swimming lessons.

This little guy was completely content playing in the sand and watching Emma and Daddy in the water.

San Diego Safari Park

Frank and I decided to be "adventurous" on a Sunday so we loaded the kids into the car and drove to the Safari Park in San Diego. This was a big deal for us. Normally on Sundays we like to take it easy before we begin a new work week. We should really take advantage of our Sundays more often. We had a great time.

The highlight of the day was the splash pad of course. The kids love the water!

The kids loved the parade. Well, Alex was a little afraid but he still joined in.
