Birthday Festivities

Jackson turned two! His birthday was on a Sunday, so we had a quiet family dinner and cupcakes to celebrate. Then, a few days later we had the real party! Jack had been telling me he wanted a "surfboard" birthday party, for weeks, so we had a themed pool party. It was a blast! Most of his friends are cousins, so we really just had a pool party with all of our family members! Kiki and Pops were kind enough to let us have the party at their house (especially since we are still homeless). This was the perfect way to have a laid back birthday for my laid back boy! 

WHAT ARE THOSE???

I guess I will blow them out...

You shouldn't have!

No, really, you shouldn't have!

Didn't anyone hear me? I do not like cake, or frosting!

I will just put this thing right into my cup holder to get rid of it.

WHAT? A Michael Jordan shirt? So stylish for a two-year-old!

The cake for Jack's "surfboard" themed pool party.

Luckily Nana and Papa are completely prepared and own a bouncy house. Seriously, they own this!

Blowing out candles again!

Cousins!

Everyone touch the birthday boy!

There was a major present theme, CARS!

Andrews Family Reunion

A few weeks ago we were able to attend a giant Andrews family reunion in... wait for it... wait for it... PROVO, Utah! We just could not keep away! A mere three weeks after our move we were back for some family fun. It was a very memorable weekend and we loved being surrounded by our loved ones.

Bubba Love

Trent's parents have a pet chinchilla named Bubba and the kiddos all love him. At a recent family gathering we had a great time petting and holding Bubba, we also snapped these cute pictures of Jackson and his cousins with him.

Somersault!

We have a somersaulter! Jack learned to somersault yesterday and he is so funny he spins like a little top and then tumbles over. I laugh so hard every time.

Barlow Visit

Our friends the Barlows came to visit us last week. It was so fun! Jack was very confused that his Utah friend Bradley was at Kiki and Pops house, but he loved having his buddy here.

Four Years!

Trent and I celebrated our fourth anniversary on Thursday. My mom babysat Jack all morning so we could go on a date. We had a wonderful time cruising up the coast to spend the morning in San Clemente. It was a gorgeous day and we had a great time checking out the surf shops. Such a great outing!

I love him more and more everyday.


Billy's has the best sandwiches EVER.


We thought about buying some new sandals at the Rainbow's outlet, but even at the outlet they are like $40, come on?!? We just graduated... Maybe next year when we have an income.
