Wedding Weekend

We went home to good 'ol Thousand Oaks for the weekend to attend my good friend Aaron Werber and Aisha's Wedding. It was beautiful and they were so happy! It was amazing seeing SO many old faces. Nothing has changed!! Everyone was still wild and crazy. So many funny stories and memories were exchanged as they often are at occasions like this. I couldn't help but laugh as we were driving up to the North Ranch Country Club. It brought back a lot of funny memories of big Westlake parties! Those days were priceless.



We came back and hit up the OC Rip-Off, I mean Fair. That place is expensive!!! Zach took one look at the big slide and said "oh my Gosh." We have never heard him say that before and could not stop laughing. We also won a goldfish for Zachy - but it died the next day .. so sad.

Happy Birthday Baby!

On July 17th, Zachy turned 2! We are enjoying every minute! It just keeps getting better and better. His new line of the week is "Don't look at me!" We are so very proud of him .. (wink wink).

We started the festivities with birthday cupcakes and fruit at school.

As you can see, Zach did not want to share his cupcake with Gigi.

Then off to Chuck E Cheese. Zach really enjoyed himself this year - and so did we! Going to the bathroom in the corner... as usual

He was especially good at Skee Ball!

And the main event! All of Zach's 20 + friends and family! Thank you so much everyone. We had a great party!


We are looking forward to what this next year has in store for us! :)

NOT A BIRTHDAY BLOG

Zach's 2nd birthday was this past Friday, and his party was on Saturday. It was a great time and I think Zach enjoyed it. Before talking about his birthday, I wanted to get this blog up to speed with a few things.

The Woodbridge Association puts on concerts during the summer, typically on Sunday. We went about a month ago to see Oreo Divas. What's really fun about the concert is that all the kids get to dance in the front. It's also pretty good that we can drink wine on the lawn. Anytime dancing is involved, you can always count on Zachy to mix things up. Here are a few pics of the last concert we went to.









Zachy seems like he is really close to potty training himself. Last weekend, he said "poop." He than ran to the bathroom and said, "pants down." He then said, "shirt off." Not sure why he wanted to take off his shirt. Anyway, he walked up his one step to his toilet bowl and sat down. He then said, "bye, bye." Randi and I left the bathroom and gave him his privacy. (Everything but the pulling down the pants and shirt he has done before in the last few months). About 2 minutes after waiting outside the bathroom, I walk in and Zach is standing above the toilet, looking in the toilet. I go over and as Emril says, "bam." There was poop and a decent amount. It was amazing. Never got so excited to see crap. We all gave eachother high fives. Zach seemed proud of himself. He then did it again later in the day. Again, we were amazed. Well, he has not done it since that weekend. He is back to the poopoing in a corner, standing on the computer hardrive... I guess it takes time, but, at least we know that he can do it and when he is ready and confident enough, he will poop away.

I'm tired. Talk about Zach's party soon.

You Have a What?

We had the best 4th of July! Our neighboorhood is somewhat like an all inclusive resort in the summer! The day started off with a 5K with our neighbors Greg and Patty. I would like to say we woke up early just to do it - but the truth is we are just up that early so we thought why not! We actually walked to the start line which is 1-2 miles and then did the race - jogging stroller and all, we finished in a respectable 35:10 minutes. We started at the very end of the pack so I would say you have to take off at least 30 seconds to a minute of that time. We will definitely do it again next year.







We got back to the house by 8:30, had breakfast and Brock (one of our other neighbors) had already tapped the keg. A what - yes you read that right, we decided to get a keg. We pulled our bbq's out from our backyards, put up a few canopies, brought out a baby pool, filled up water balloons, and had so much fun!!















A big thanks to the "Fairside" crew for making it happen!

And this week ... swim lessons! Stay tuned!
