More pictures and fun

Here is a picture from the Claremont brunch that I forgot to post. Love this picture of the most important males in my life!


A few weeks ago, Joyce and Tyler came over to visit. Joshua was thrilled to see Tyler and kept trying to engage him.

The monkey LOVES to see picture of himself.


We recently got a play yard and foam mats for outside so the monkey can come and hang out under the umbrella while Dave and I work on the yard or the pool. It was really fun to be outside on this beautiful day.

The monkey even got to eat outside. Can you tell he ate sweet potatoes?

Mommy's hat is quite a fun toy.


On Mother's Day, we started off at our favorite coffee house for breakfast.

Both squirrels were immediately in front of the big window which was thrilling for Joshua.

Here is my beautiful bouquet from the boys.

Love the kisses.

Joshua got me this card and a CD of Journey songs done in lullaby form. A great thing for the car. We got the U2 CD from Joyce when Joshua was first born. To this day, when Joshua is upset in the car, we can put on "his music" and he calms down very quickly.

We ventured to Alameda to J.L. Quinn's Lighthouse for a late lunch. Joshua loved seeing the boats and all the lighthouse and ship collectibles around the restaurant.


This past Saturday morning, this is what we woke up to in our front yard when opening the curtains. We certainly do live in the country now.

Joshua was awestruck.


On Saturday, we traveled to Redwood City to celebrate Annika and Joey Gottshalls' first birthdays.
Here Joshua is playing with the birthday girl.

Happy Birthday, Annie!

Happy Birthday, Joey!

Joey decided that chillin on Dave's lap was very good.

We all loved being outside in the warm sunshine.

Getting the birthday cupcakes. Annie loved it and was all over hers. Joey on the other hand just flipped his away and started to cry. Poor guy was tired.

Joshua the future athlete in his publicity pose. :)

Nicely giving Jack the ball. These guys were cute together.

Joshua liked the cake part of the cupcake very much. We didn't give him a chance to find out about the frosting part.

He loved being pulled around the yard in the wagon.

Ella and Jack joined the ride making it harder work for Dave. ;)


On Sunday, we headed to San Jose to have a backyard BBQ at the Haynes new home. It was such a fun afternoon and Joshua enjoyed playing with Evan. Unfortunately, I totally forgot to pull out my camera until we were leaving and Evan was already down for his nap. Thanks for a lovely afternoon Haynes family!
Megan and Abby.

Tonight Rebecca stopped by our house as she had a meeting in the east bay. Joshua thought Rebecca was a lot of fun and very entertaining.

Rebecca was great to get down and play with him including using his puppets. Thanks for visiting Auntie Rebecca! Come again soon!
