Bea-u-tiful Day At The Beach

Maybe one of the best days I have had at any beach in Northern California, 72 degrees, slight breeze, not a cloud in the sky, Jeff, Baby B, and the Sanchez family taking it all in.

We dug in our new beach umbrella, sun screened up our beach babies, and made camp for the day. Barrett was lovin' it. He loves being outside, combine that with a ton of things to watch - people, kids, dogs, waves...he was in heaven. He had his first experience with sand in his toes and fingers, but luckily not in the mouth.
Tatum enjoyed all of the above as well, but was probably more excited about her incredibly large lunch...man that girl loves to eat.
And Landon, well I barely saw his face all day. He was so busy, head down, diggin in the sand. What an awesome day for him!

I'm praying for more days like this over the summer. I will be watching the forecast and forsaking all other plans for the weekend if I see another day like this coming.

Mr. Talkative

This was Barrett eating his lunch at Half Moon Bay. He was really trying to tell us how much he loves the beach...my little beach bum!

Caleb's First Trip to the Zoo

We had another playdate with Caleb and this time we took him on his first trip to the zoo. Since Barrett loves the zoo so much we thought Caleb might too...and we are pretty sure he did. Another gorgeous, sunny day...but not too hot so perfect to walk around the zoo. The boys got quite a show this time from the river otters. Usually they are sleeping or swimming in the pool, but this time they were dancing around on the ground so Barrett and Caleb could really see them. Cute little rascals (which Holly and I now know are not related to ferrets thanks to a strange man that tried to strike up a conversation with two mommies and their kids...seriously?).

As you all know, Barrett and I are the Oaktown Zoo's biggest fans. We always try to convince our friends to join us, we are always up for the zoo...call us!

Uncle Kevin Says I Do

It's official... Uncle Kevin is off the market. Kevin and Patty tied the knot on Saturday night at Wente in Livermore, CA. We took over the private room and had an amazing dinner, as expected from Wente. Sharon watched her first born take the next step....and Patty's Dad gave away their only daughter, as I watched Patty's mom tear up. It was a nice ceremony, performed by the one and only 'Hank' who also married Jeff and I almost five years ago as well as one of Patty's friends in attendance, I think she said 12 years ago.

We are very happy for Kevin and Patty and wish them a life for of love, laughter, and happiness. Congratulations!

Are Those Curls I See?

Now that Mr. B is getting a full head of hair fresh out of the bath is such a sight...look at my little blondie all curled up!

Daddy Time

Boy, oh boy, oh boy, do I LOVE hanging out with my Daddy!

I just love the shot of the two of them looking at each other. He will be playing in Jeff's lap and then look up and look around for him like 'hey are you still here.' It's too cute!

Do you think we look alike?

A Banana Just My Size

Miss Reyna, Mommy's friend from work, is always asking about my little 'bambino.' Today she sent me home with a Chiquita Mini for Barrett. She said, 'they are so sweet, I bet he will like it.' She was right, Thanks Reyna!

Landon's 3rd Birthday

Hello Birthday Boy!

There is our little Landon who is officially 3! It is so amazing to me that time can go by so fast. I remember when Landon was first born, so tiny and helpless. Now we have Mr. Independent carrying on 'big boy' conversations with us. Unbelievable!

We celebrated in San Francisco at the SF Gym down by Chrissy Field. The kids loved it. The older ones were all over the place, it was an obstacle course of fun. Barrett was probably a little over stimulated. Colors, noises, new experiences....what fun. The parachute is always a favorite for him. He waves his arms and basically pants with excitement while he watches it. Top that off with some new friends, Graham and Scarlette, and little Miss Raleigh. A good time had by all.

And The Beat Goes On

Barrett and I went to our first music class in San Francisco. We met up with CC and Henry, and Melissa and Tatum to sing some tunes. There were a lot of kiddies there, of all ages and stages! I was almost intimidated by the numbers, but Mr. B loved it! He watched the other kids sit, roll, and crawl around.

The teacher, quite interesting...young guy trained in classical music at Northwestern (hmmm... do you think this is where he thought his degree would get him?) Regardless, Barrett loved watching him play his guitar and sing. The big hit was the drum. Barrett and Tatum got quite a kick out of banging on it at the end of class. And the beat goes on...

Can't Keep Up

It has been so hard to keep up with the blog lately. I am busy at work, we have been busy on the weekends, and with the weather turning I just want to be outside instead of in front of this computer. Promise to catch up soon...
