We visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium today. THe kids had a blast seeing all the cool exhibits and spending time with the entire family. The Monterey Bay Aquarium really never gets old for me. Totally amazing and fascinating to see all the cool marine life.

We ended the night with a good dinner and dessert. The kids were so excited about the photo cake of Jiichan. It was really delicious cake and worth the cheat. That cake was divine.

10/3/2012 - 2 stellar kids

From Drop Box

When I picked Liam up from daycare today, his teacher was doting on him calling him Ojitos Bonitos. What a perfect name for our little looker!!

This post is dedicated to our amazing Finny who did a stellar job at the dentist today. He had 2 fillings today and according to papa was on his best behavior. He was patient and pretty calm for the most part. I feel so proud of him.

10/2/2012 - Cold Beverage

From Drop Box

So, Jesse and I have been really focusing on our eating habits and started food journaling about 2 weeks ago. It's an interesting process. Being that Jesse is taller and skinnier than me, he gets a lot higher daily caloric intake allowance, allowing him lots more food and lots more beer. I for the past couple of years, have not been much of a drinker, but lately since I am not really allowing myself any alcohol, am craving it like crazy. It's the weirdest thing. Every time I see him drink a beer with dinner in the evening, I get so stinking jealous. Oh well. Guess I will just imagine this nice tall glass of water is an ice cold beer.

10/1/2012 - Monkey on his back

From Drop Box

Papa tried to enjoy some downtime reading a magazine tonight, but the little monkey on his back was determined to keep his attention focused on Liam. One day we will have downtime again ....one day.

9/30/2012 - Spiderman Ice Cream

From Drop Box

We had a busy active day today. We took a hike over at Lake Chabot. Liam took a snooze in the stroller while we huffed it through the hills. After Skuuting for over a mile, our little Finny got tired and took a ride on papa's shoulders. After Finn had a brief nap, we went to Dimond Park where the kids got to enjoy Spiderman Popsicles. This is clean looking picture. Liam was a huge mess with blue and red stickiness all over his clothing and body. Quite messy, but kind of cute.
