Off to Grandma's House We Went

Thank goodness for Holiday weekends! Scott took off Friday so we could driving to my moms for the weekend and spend some time at the coast. Originally I was going to make the drive with just Jase and Abby, but we were happy Scott got to join us!

I always love to going to the coast, of course to see my mom, but as a bonus we get to spend some times with friends too! On Saturday morning I met Dana, Lucy and Ben at Avila Farm while the boys went golfing. Lucy had fun showing us how to feed the animals, Jase had fun watching Lucy and Ben was loving trying to stay awake in the Ergo! We had a great time!

We also got to spend some time with Courtney this trip! Courtney, my mom, Jase and I went to downtown Arroyo Grande to walk around and then met my dad and Scott for lunch!

Jase had some fun one morning playing with Grandpa. My dad showed him around the yard and even Abby joined the fun! 

My mom and Jase had some fun chit chatting and it seems my mom is pretty funny.

We had a BEAUTIFUL sunset one night and I was able to capture it.

Uncle Mark and Auntie Melissa were in Cambria that weekend and drove down to see Jase

We had a great little getaway, stay tuned...

Jase: 10 Months

Oh my, Jase is two months away from ONE!!! How on earth has this happened so fast?! I am currently working on his first birthday party and somehow I just still can't wrap my mind around his turning ONE. He is currently wearing 12 month size clothes and quickly growing out of them. He is crawling fast, pulling up, standing on furniture and letting go already! He loves going on walks and is still addicted to puffs. Along with his diet of puffs, he enjoys eating whatever mommy or daddy has on their plate, his favorite being eggs.

Since we LOVE this little boy so much, I decided to do his 10 month pictures in a Valentine theme!

Still obsessed with ceiling fans!

Super Bowl

I love the tradition we have getting together every year with great friends for the Super Bowl. It's a tradition I hope continues through the years no matter how busy we all get. We did miss some people this year, but I forgive them ;-). 

Even though the game and commercials were not that entertaining, we enjoyed time spent with friends. As always, the food was yummy. Well everything except the cornbread (according to Chris), I think he's crazy though! Just kidding, maybe.

New Years Lake Trip

I am way behind, so there are going to be a couple "new" posts popping up tonight and possibly tomorrow.

Usually we see Scotts cousins over Thanksgiving or Christmas, but with how busy everyone was that didn't happen so we met them at the Lake after New Years. We had a relaxing weekend just hanging out.

Jono finally got to meet Jase

Jase: 9 Months

Goodness I've been lagging on these updates! Jase and I finally got around to taking some 9 month photos yesterday. Kind of impromptu, but I'm happy with how they turned out, especially since Jase is a constantly moving target these days.

Jase has two bottom teeth and is working on the top two now. He crawls all over the place and likes to pull up on things, but hasn't mastered standing yet. I think he's tall enough that he doesn't really have the "need" to stand quite yet. Jase loves food! He still has purees as well as eating what mommy or daddy are eating. He's a current closet open Puffs addict and he also still loves his bottles! Our growing, hungry boy! His 9 month appointment isn't until next week where we will get his current stats.

My Favorite! 

Oh, just some play time!

Play Day with Hunter

Jase and I got to play with Val and Hunter yesterday while the boys went Hunting! It was so nice for Val and Hunter to come up with Travis for a play day.

Our day consisted of playing, napping (for the boys), Starbucks and a walk through Downtown Lodi, where we of course found a cute baby boutique that we couldn't leave without purchasing something! Jase had a great time playing with Hunter, he loves other babies so much! It's always so nice to have much needed "girl time" as well. I see much more Lindsey & Val, I mean, Hunter and Jase play dates in our future!

Just a couple of boys, hanging out.

Practicing Football?

Happy Boys

Friend Love

Yes, they're wearing the same shirt. No, it was not planned. Val and I just have GREAT taste in baby boy clothes!

Jase: First Christmas

Our family had a WONDERFUL Christmas celebrating with Jase this year. By far THE BEST Christmas I've had. I can't believe how much as happened in a month. We bought a house (there will be a blog about that later), moved and hosted Christmas.

My mom and dad came up before Christmas to help with the house and watch Jase. With my mom on Jase duty I was able to decorate for Christmas and get everything ready for guests. Scotts Family & the grandmas came up Christmas Eve; it was so nice to have a big family dinner together. We did miss my brothers this year though.

Of course Jase coaxed the grandmas into letting him open a gift Christmas Eve. I think he was much more interested in all the wrapping then what was under the wrapping. We had such a great time watching him open gifts. I know he didn't understand Christmas this year, but still fun to watch. I'm still unsure about Scott, but I know I had a great time playing Santa. Our first, of many, years staying up and putting toys together!

As you can probably tell from the picture above, I was doing it wrong. Uncle Mark stepped in and saved the night! Of course with the help of the onlooking grandmas and great grandmas!
