Happy Father's Day!

Hope all our Dads/Grandpas had a perfect Father's Day morning.

Say Cheese!

Andria just sent this photo today. Taken around Christmas, but I completely forgot about it. It's one of my favorites now. Thanks Andria, you rock!

Pizza Night!

Today we had a fantastic day. We hung out at home most of the morning and then after Jack's nap we went to the mall. We shopped at Target (Jack got a really cool car that has sound effects and zips around when you shake it.) Then off to the play area upstairs where Jack had an absolute blast climbing, sliding and playing hide-and-seek. We capped the trip off with a spin on the mini carousel. Once we got home it was pizza night! As you can see he loved stealing pepperoni straight out of the box. What a little scamp! He whooped and screamed while we played with his new car and watched Bolt. He was still raring to go when we finally put him down at 9PM. Sometimes the best days are simple ones.

Mack Attack

Grandma Laura got Jack a set of cars from his favorite movie, Cars, and he was thrilled! However, we were all surprised that his favorite character, Mack, wasn't included in the set. Daddy to the rescue...he stopped by Toys 'R Us on his way home yesterday and found Mack. Jack loved Mack so much he even took him in the tub. (Most of the stickers made it through the spa day.) He played with his Mack and all of his cars last night for hours. The ultimate thrill was playing with all his cars, including Mack, while the movie played on TV! Wow! What a Friday night! Mack is pretty big, so thankfully we were able to get Jack to bed last night without it. No surprise though, he's playing with Mack again as I type. Happy boy!

Still No Baby

Thanks to everyone who has called wanting to know about Nikki's little boy...still no baby! She was due last Friday, so every day that she is late seems like an eternity. She had consistent contractions for several hours on Monday night, went to the hospital when they were 5 minutes apart, and the nurse told her to go home because she was too chipper to be in real labor!!! I advised her to be crabbier next time! HA!

Anyway, Jack and I took a trip down to Long Beach yesterday to help keep her spirits up. Grandma Laura and Auntie Kelsey joined us for lunch at the Yard House, a walk around the Long Beach Pike and ColdStone ice cream...yum! If that spicy buffalo wing sauce doesn't get that baby moving I don't know what will.

Fortunately, Nikki is still doing pretty well. Sleeping and eating OK, no horrible heartburn or swollen extremities. She looks GREAT! All belly, but otherwise not an ounce of fat on her. She is scheduled to be induced on Monday if the little guy is too stubborn to come on his own. I'll keep you all posted when there is news to tell.

P.S. Jack had SO MUCH FUN driving his new cars everywhere yesterday. He was having too much fun to nap. His shirt for the day was appropriate...Sleep is for the WEAK! Thanks for the Awesome cars Grandma!

Story Time

Thankfully, Jack loves his books. As a teacher I'd never live it down if he didn't! He loved Goodnight Gorilla so much this morning that Rob and I both had to read it to him many times. We tried The Very Hungry Caterpillar, another of his favorites, but he only wanted to hear the part where the caterpillar is eating. Butterfly? Who cares!

Go Team!

Today Jack is sporting his blue and gold Adidas sweats from our friend Jason Kapono and his UCLA t-shirt from Auntie Andria and Uncle Phil. He is an adorable little Bruin in the making! Is it football season yet?
