Date Night with the Werts

Todd and Shereen joined us on our Thursday date night. We had so much fun. We went to dinner in Balboa Park and had a few too many glasses of wine. We ordered a fun dinner that came with wine pairings at each course. It only makes Shereen and I talk more and maybe a little louder. Then we went to La Jolla and walked out on the jetty to see the seals. Heeding all warnings from by-standers we were determined to go to the end and hoping our strong men would protect us from any crashing waves. We made it safely and even managed to take these pics. It brought back memories of when Matt and I had our engagement pictures taken and were overtaken by a wave while our backs were to it. All we saw was our photographer running to save his camera!

Easter Egg Hunt at San Marcos Lutheran

The boys enjoyed the annual egg hunt at Jake's preschool!

9 months goes by way too fast!

Hard to believe my baby is already 9 months. The first 8 she was very mellow and hardly smiled or cried, but now is seems she has finally gotten comfortable with her surroundings. She is smiling, laughing, clapping, waving, having fits,and climbing all over those brothers. She is very busy and into everything. She cracks us up!!

Where's Kylie...in the paint mama

I was reading to the boys on the couch and noticed Kylie was awful quiet on the other side of the couch. I asked Ty so see what she was up to, and he said "in the paint mama" She was as happy as could be lapping up paint with her mouth and rubbing her belly in it. Jake had taken it off the counter and put it on the tile. It was non-toxic and her tongue was only green for a little while. Yikes!!

Trike-a-thon

Jake had his trike-a-thon again this year. He had learned to ride on two wheels about a week before and insisted on riding two wheels in the trike-a-thon. He still couldn't start himself, so Matt and the other helpers would re-start him each time he stopped. I was so proud of him. Ty joined too on his super cute red tricycle. He is so cute when he rides it. We are trying to get him on training wheels, but he refuses. I don't mind, trying to slow him down from growing up on me...he could be my last boy :(

Kylie loves to eat!

I sure took my time starting her on finger foods. She was more than ready.

Boredom breeds Creativity

things that come out of their mouths cont'd

Ty, "mom you are the bestest girl in the whole wide world and i can take you somewhere"...cracking up...then he continues "like the bagel place (aka donut store)"

Monkee Take Two

We got Monkee again from Jake's school and this time he got to hear a Mariachi Band at El Callejon.

things that come out of their mouths cont'd

at dinner eating a rotisserie chicken, jake, "mama I want the leg, Ty what do you want?" ty, "I want the hand."

after making ty eat his breakfast, "you are the meanest girl in the whole wide world and I cannot take you anywhere"....why does part of that statement sound so familiar...i think he combined a statement from mommy and jake...embarrassing, but must be noted for the future!
