Tyler is 6

Where does the time go. I can not get over how fast the years just seem to fly by. Tyler is 6 years old. We celebrated hes birthday with lots of friends and family. My parents we nice enough to let us have it at their house.

Jake is 7 months

So Jake is 7 months wow how time flies, he has gotten so big so fast. He now has 5 teeth and is into everything. He is very loud and makes it known when he is in the room. He crawling has improved and hes very fast. He HATES being held down to be changed its a challenge. Hes a pretty happy baby. He lights up when Tyler walks into a room. He started to say Da Da and Mike just loves it. Hes always rubbing in. :o) Jake's has now started to eat foods like gold fish crackers and things he can munch on. We feel very blessed to have such 2 wonderful children

Tylers

So Tyler started school a few weeks ago and it seems to be a better year then last year already. He really enjoys the daycare he goes to after school and his teachers. This year he has 2 teachers. Tyler is repeating Kindergarten, Mike and I along with his teacher from last year and the principal and a few other people we had to meet with think it was a little to early last year. Tyler started last year as a 4year old almost 5 year old. We both agree that his attention span just wasn't there along with some maturity that he needed. This year he is one of the older kids and I can already see a big difference in him. He seems to be able to handle directions a little better and has been asking me to read to him which last year we made him sit down and listen to us read to him. I'm really happy with this decision that we made to give Tyler the gift of time and just let him grow a little more.

Jake is 6 Months old

So Jake is 6 months, I cant believe its been half a year since he was born. Time is just flying by and I cant seem to slow it down. I want to capture every moments of Jake's life. He's growing so fast. Hes amazing in so many ways. Hes such a great baby, he is so smiley and loves being held and kissed on. He loves his big brother and is trying to keep up with him. There are so many new things that hes doing. He's full on crawling now, pulling him self up on everything and has learned the art of crawling and then sitting him self up. Its so crazy to think how much he does for someone who's only been on this earth for 6 months. Here are a few pictures of Jake at 6 months

San Ramon water park

Today Corrie invited me and the boys to join here and the girls to the water park. Tyler had a great time with his cousins. He was so happy to play with them. The weather was so hot today so it was very nice to get out of the house and do something fun even Jake got into the water. Thank you Corrie for thinking of us. Hopefully we can do something again before all the kids go back to school.

Darens Birthday

On Saturday August 8th, Mikes cousins where in town from Texas visiting. It was a family party and a surprise party for his cousins Daren who will be turning 40. It was a cowboy themed birthday. We had such a great time. I really enjoy being around his family. I don't have alot of family around so when we get together with his cousins I really enjoy it. My family is kinda scattered all over from Utah, Wyoming Texas, Minnesota. I have 1 uncle here in California but no cousins here. So I always tell Mike how lucky he is to have so many cousins that live so close. Although it doesn't seem like we seem them that often. His family lives in Pleasanton, Stockton, Fremont so fairly close. Here's a few of my favorite pictures from the party. Thank you to Uncle John and Irene for hosting such a wonderful event. We really enjoyed out time. Happy Birthday Daren and I'm so happy we got to see everyone at the party.

How fast things change

Today I was home from working taking care of Mike he had a tooth extracted yesterday and need someone to take care of him. So I had some time today and I decided that since Jake has been sleeping in his crib since he was 3months it was time to say good bye to the baby cradle that has been sitting in our room filling up with laundry I was to lazy to put away. I love it when our room is clean and neat so it had been bothering me. It was so sad to see the cradle go. Corrie did such a great job making a new bedding for me and I hardly got to use it. Jake is such a restless sleeper and it was better for me and him that he started sleeping in his own room. We both weren't getting enough sleep. He is pretty much sleeping though the night once in a while he will wake up. He is such a good baby I feel so blessed. So good bye to the cradle until the next baby! Lol

Santa Cruz

On Sunday Mike and I with my parents the boys and Corries 2 youngest ones went to Santa Cruz for the day. We has such a great time. Tyler was so much fun. He loved riding all the rides and was up to going on anything. Jake and Papa hung out most of the day. Here are a few pictures of our fun day. Thank mom and dad and Corrie for letting Jewel and Emilee tag along for Tyler.
