Babysitter Fun

November 25th, 2009

We’ve finally found a wonderful babysitter and are loving the nights when she plays with the kids and we parents get to go out to dinner solo. Early in November we had date night with our cousins.. Lennon got to play with Michael and Joseph while Mommy and Daddy got to try the local Mexican restaurant (Sol y Luna).

Fun was had by all!

Halloween 2009

November 25th, 2009

Finally some pictures from Halloween. Most of the fun was the week before when we took Lennon to the Pumpkin Patch with his cousin Kaden. There’s also one picture of Lennon dressed as “Gilligan” – his costume of the year. Mommy and Daddy were meant to be Ginger and the Skipper but Mommy got the flu and all the costumes never came fully together.

Enjoy!

Other September Pictures

September 20th, 2009

Here’s a few other pictures from this month..

Dodgers Game and afterward… Lennon got a foul ball and brought it home to throw and chase all over the house.. Maybe we have a future pitcher in our midst?

He also visited Balboa Park where he rode his trike all over and went for a swing on his first playground visit..

And, finally, for his 1st birthday we went to the LA Zoo with cousin Kaden and had lots of fun seeing giraffes, gorillas and other crazy animals.

Lennon’s First Birthday Party!

September 20th, 2009

Here’s a few pictures from Lennon’s First Birthday party.

The Invitation

The Invitation

We had a ball pit in the backyard which was a big hit with the kids.. Everyone took their turn. Elvis played sets from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Lennon enjoyed his first cake – especially when we slammed his foot into it!

Then he wokeup this morning to attack all the deflated balloons. What a fun first birthday party!

More pictures from Lennon’s Birthday at the zoo and other festivities will be coming soon.

My First Tricycle

September 8th, 2009

Uncle Brian and Aunt Cara sent me a tricycle for my 1st birthday. Mom and Dad opened it for me yesterday and let me get my racing stripes on. I just love my trike – I ride it all over the house (with Mom pushing, of course!) We even took it out to the front driveway yesterday and I sped past all the neighbors.

Dad is not done assembling yet.. and I'm already on it

Lennon’s Ball Pit

August 28th, 2009

This is Mommy & Daddy’s gift to Lennon for his 1st birthday. It’s also one of the features of his 1st birthday party in a few weeks. We inflated it today to cheer Lennon up from being in a funk with new teeth growing in and with this annoying cold he caught. Oh the fun! (If only we can keep Daddy out!)
