Sun and Sand

My mom recently decided that we needed a sandbox in the backyard for Damian.  I have been pushing back against the acquiring of a sandbox for quite some time, but finally gave in.  I am very glad I did as Damian absolutely loves his new sandbox.  

 He was beyond dirty by the end of the project

Thank you Nani and Grandpa!  I love my sandbox!!!

Fountain Fun

This last Friday with the temperatures rising, Damian and I met our friends at the water fountain downtown for a little picnic and fun. The kiddos had lots of fun playing around.   I couldn't get the two of them to stay in one place long enough to get a picture take together though...maybe next time.

Going on a Trip

Sadly Damian does not always nap at nap time anymore.  Somedays I put him down for his nap and am pretty certain that he is asleep as it is so quiet.  The other day was one of those days.  However when I went to go check on him, I found a boy who was all packed and "dressed" for a little trip.  

 He was so proud of himself and all ready to go get on an airplane and take a little trip.  We recently took my parents to the airport so he has been talking about airplanes a lot.

I asked him to show me what was in his little suitcase...it was full of books!  He was wearing all his clothes so he could pack his books in his bag, so adorable!  He was wearing 6 pairs of shorts/pants and 4 shirts plus his hat.  I love this little man so much. 

Coming (sorta) soon.......

Jorge and I are excited to announce that Damian will no longer be an only child on Nov. 30th!

A year with Frog and Toad

This past Saturday my mom and I took Damian and Addie to see the children's production of "A Year With Frog and Toad".  I loved those books growing up so it was a great treat for me as well.  My mom got the tickets at an auction for Addie's school and we also got to take a backstage tour.  The kiddos had lots of fun and Damian did really well at his first play.

 We couldn't stand in front of the poster..we had to lay down

 I'm not even really sure what to call this "chair"

 They had some art tables set up for the kids to make frog and toad ponds before the show

 Nani read the book to them again so they would be all set

A few snacks before heading into the show!

Outdoor Fun

The weather has been so pretty the past week and we have really been soaking it up with outdoor activities.  Damian and I worked in the garden, got all our seeds and plants planted and will post pictures as soon as they start to pop up.  

 We played baseball

 Set the pool up

He deemed the pool too chilly but the sprinkler was perfect!

Back to the Beach

I must confess I have been a bad blogger and I will make a better effort to stay on top of my blogging game.  This past Wednesday the weather was gorgeous so we decided to take a trip over to the beach and play in the sand.  It was a lovely day and makes me so thankful to live so close to the coast.
