Ty Turns One!

9 Year Wedding Anniversary

Matt and I decided to start a tradition of having the kids blow out candles on a cake for our wedding anniversary. We thought it would be fun to celebrate together. Jake will take any opportunity to blow out candles and eat cake!

4th of July Parade

Our neighborhood puts on a little parade each year, and the kids get to get dressed up, decorate their bikes and parade around the field. They also play games and give out ice cream. Jake was so proud to be in a parade! Ty kept trying to crawl out...he is getting to be such a big boy!

Del Mar Fair

We took Jake by himself to the Del Mar Fair. He is big enough now to go on quite a bit of rides. He loved it, not to mention the corn!

Swim Lessons

Jake loves his swim lessons. Well every part, but jumping in from the side. I couldn't believe the progress the kids made in such a short time. Jake will go under the water and actually open his eyes and look at you. He also swims by himself with a noodle under his arms.

Surfing at California Adventure

Jake loves Disneyland and California Adventure. We have season tickets and try to go often. This was a cute pic opportunity at California Adventure. Matt is already pushing the surfing thing!! First they need to learn to swim!

Portraits

They are getting so big I can hardly stand it! I got these pics taken for a father's day present I am working on. Let's hope Matt doesn't check the blog...he usually doesn't. They are starting to interact so much. The best is when they get each other giggling to the point they can't stop. Jake is very rough, so Ty will have some tough skin.

Ty's first trip to the beach!

The weather has been so nice here! We decided to take the boys to the beach. So, we loaded up the wagon and headed out. Ty loved everything about it! He loved playing in the sand, which scares me to death (sand in the eye, mouth!). He even loved the water...he couldn't stop giggling. I'm not really sure what that kid doesn't like. He is so sweet and so happy all the time. Jake couldn't stop talking about it, and still does daily. You may find us at the beach every weekend for the rest of the summer!

Palm Desert with Papa Ted and Nana Di

What a treat!! Nana Di took the boys and their cousins to the desert for the weekend. Not only did they have a blast (Nana spoils them to death), we had a great time. We went to 2 movies, had nice, quiet dinners, and did a lot of relaxing.
