You should see the other guy...

Poor little man was involved in a 3-toddler pile-up at school on Monday morning. Check out that lip! :(

Li'l Monkey

The boy loves bananas. What more can I say?

Workin' at the Carwash

One of Timothy's favorite new things to do is to "help" daddy wash the car. I wonder if he'll be this eager a few years from now... :)

Baby Bex

Mission:Impossible

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to retrieve the race car from the clutches of the evil Ziggy. This message will self-destruct in 5 seconds. Good luck, Timothy and "Mahpah". (You know you have the theme song stuck in your head now! Haha!)





Billy had a wedding to attend in Southern CA on Saturday, so he headed home with Christie, Drew & the boys & Timothy and I headed to Lafayette to visit my dad for a couple of days. We had a great time, even though we missed papa a lot.

Santa Cruz 2009

We spent the last week in Santa Cruz with Billy's family. This was the first time in 3 years that we've been able to go for the whole week, and it was a welcome break for all of us! So here it is, the week in pictures.

These were taken on our first afternoon there at the beach right below the house where we stayed.

Billy and Timothy made good use of the pool on a daily basis!

Poor little guy got a fat lip our second night there. Poor baby! :(


Dennis the Menace Park in Monterey is the best park I've ever been! (I think Timothy liked it, too)


Timothy loved this "puppy"!

Timothy's first Boardwalk ride. He was all excited, and he did great for the first revolution or so, and then he started screaming "Out! Out! Out!". As soon as the ride was over, I ran in and got him out, and he promptly pointed at the little whale he rode in and said "More?"


We went on a great boat ride in Monterey with Debbie, Matt, Joseph and Jack. Timothy had a blast!


The Aquarium was great. :)


The cousins this year. So cute!

Wow... it's been almost a month - sorry!!

Last month was a blur! I started my new job at the Board of Equalization on the 1st, and then it was August. What happened?! I've had a couple of requests for some new pictures, so without further ado, here's my little man (who is now 17 months old!!!):

Hanging out and playing the piano with uncle Ryan:

Cinder-fella (on a playdate with our friends James and Andrew at Fairytale Town):


Baby in a tunnel (if you look closely at the first shot, you can see James encouraging him to come down the chute):

Cutie on the train:


Okay, more catching up to come. Soon. I promise!
