What a Week

Last Year about this time, I took a week off from work to spend with Zach.

We had a good time but he had just started walking, very little talking and it was fun but nothing like this last week. Boy, did we have a blast. The trick is, to get out of the house. I had at least one activity planned a day - sometimes two. The kid ate and slept like a champ, did not whine one bit and we had a great time spending time together. We went to My Gym, Bowers Museum Kidseum, Story Time at Whole Foods, Watermelon Tour at Tanaka Farms, played in the water area at the Spectrum, went to Happy Hour at the Yard House and of course hung out with Abby. I could do this forever!!



And how could I forget a little "house" bim bam ...

Summer Time

Summer is really going by fast isn't it? In one short week, Zach will be graduating from the Infant/Toddler Center where he has been cared for since he was only 5 months and moving on to Preschool. We are getting ready for the transition over the next two and a half weeks (as I also get to transition to full time mommy!) (Whew!) We have lots and lots of activities planned - otherwise the house might get destroyed by my wild and crazy 2 year old! This is what we have been up to.

Concert on the Lake - We really love these and can not say enough about them. We love bringing wine and yummy snacks like homemade bruschetta. Zach loves singing, dancing and running much to close to the Lake so Josh and I can do anything BUT relax. We also love the lady that speeds down the hill on her scooter!!




We even got a little pick up football in - check out the form on this kid!







I have been cooking up a storm - and had to take a picture of this amazing looking steak, roasted corn and avocado salad!



And we spent a couple days in Carlsbad. We went swimming, down waterslides, saw a reptile show and had lots of good food! Since we got home, Zach keeps saying "I want to go on A-Cation!" Don't we all?







Finally, we attended Uncork the Cure in San Diego to support our friends Megan and Michelle and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Thanks to Grandpa for letting us get out for the night. He actually made it through 4 hours of madness without the help of Na-Na. Yes, Ladies, that is Kip - our old friend from Santa Barbara and former bachelor finalist!

Fishy!

Zach has really taken to anything with water recently.. the bath, the hose, the pool, the water dispenser on the fridge!! I drove to my parents on Sunday to spend some time at the pool. This kid loves swimming.
