Kelli Thorson was in town, so we went to the zoo. It’s crazy how we both started out here in San Marcos as Newlyweds and now, 5 years later we both have 2 angels. I’m so glad we are still friends after all this time. Love you Kelli!

 

Soin and I are the same age for 8 days! We celebrated together in Rancho Mirage this year.

Soin’s Banana cake with chocolate peanut butter frosting.

My delicious chocolate cake with peanut butter filling! So yummy! Thank you Soin!

A new apron and new shoes!!! Thank you Mommy!

Max and Ga-Ga searching for bugs.

Look what they caught! (With a little help from Daddy)

Maxine and I have really close birthdays. She was able to come from Idaho to celebrate with the family. Tons of fun!

The Chergoskys came over to decorate cookies for Valentine’s Day. We are so happy to be able to spend time with them again. I can’t believe how close our kids are in age. I used to babysit Benn and Abby only 5 years ago!

We had fun at Shanika’s (a good from of Mike’s) baby boy’s first birthday party. Max was in awe that Mickey mouse was there!

The cousins!

Safari Park

We’ve been going to the Safari Park and the Zoo a lot lately (taking advantage of those passes we got for Christmas). The first time was with Aya and Clementine. We love spending time with them so much.

Long and Lean

Mr. Levi is in the 5th percentile for his weight (yes, I said 5th) and 75 percentile for height. Wow. If anyone remembers my big chunk called Max when he was a baby, you know that Levi is tiny in comparison. Other than that, he is totally normal and doing well. He absolutely adores his brother and is so easy to make smile. He’s eating solids and sitting up on his own.

What a sweetie. I love him so.

Best Buddies

I can already tell these boys are going to be close. They love each other so much. I’m so blessed to be their Mommy.

Modus Ponens

This boy cracks me up all the time. One day, he came to me and was like, “My face is all dirty, Mommy. I need a bath!” Valid argument, but unsound given that his face isn’t really dirty. Maybe a future lawyer? Silly boy.

Ga-Ga & Aya’s visit

We had a nice visit when Ga-Ga and Aya came out for a couple of days back in January. We went to the beach and later got some ice cream.

Little crafts I’ve been working on lately

Our Emmy-Nome!

Naomi turned 12! I can’t believe it! Seems like it was not too long ago when I met her as a 6 year old. Now she’s a young woman with her ears pierced and her own cell phone! She’s such wonderful aunt to my baby boys. Max adores her.

We love you Emmy-Nome!
