It's Bouncer Time Too!

Bailey at 5 1/2 months old.
Bailey at 3 years old!
Raif loving his fingers and bouncer. So I thought since he loved the bumbo, maybe he might be ready for the bouncer. I tried to put him in it, but he needed his afternoon snack first. By the time I got back up to his room, Bailey had already climbed in the bouncer and reacquainted herself with her old toy. She also took her dress off, although I'm not sure why the two were related. Anyways, after Raif had his snack sure enough he was happy in the bouncer, lasting almost 30 minutes!!!




It's Bumbo Time!!

Today, after our playdate with Reagan and Paige at Sarah's house (see her blog for cute pictures) she asked if I had put Raif in a highchair yet. I said I hadn't but thought he might be ready for the bumbo. So when we got home I tried him in it and he loved it. You gotta love bumbo!

A Lovely Evening!

Last night Colby got home a little early. We had a wonderful dinner and even had time for a walk with the dogs to Rite Aide to have ice cream. It was just one of those evenings where you enjoy a glass of wine, a fire, a walk and great kids.

Almost Over!


Raif is trying so hard to roll over, if he can just get that arm out of the way!

A Day at the Races

This is an absolutely horrible picture (this was at the end of the day with a few cocktails in us...I hate that splotchy red look!), but I felt I needed to put something on the blog non-kid related to show we actually do have a life. Colby's fishing club, The Avalon Tuna Club, hosts a day at Santa Anita Race Track at the turf club. We invited our good friends Curt and Yvette to join us this year. We had a wonderful time with a delicious brunch and cocktails. We bet on the races and Yvette definitely won the most. She had a system of jockeys, trainers, odds and names that seemed to be working.

Happy Birthday Reagan




This is a little late in posting, but still important to put on the blog. Reagan turned 3 with a fun princess party. Snow White even came to the party! Sarah and Aaron had a great set-up in their front yard with lots of things for the kids to do. See Sarah's blog for lots more pictures.


Raif's 1st Trip to Disneyland







We finally broke down and and bought annual passes to Disneyland. My sister and Eli and my nieces just renewed their passes, and my mom got one as well, so we decided it would be a fun way to spend time with everyone. Raif got to go to Disneyland for his first time, he slept through a lot of it, but loved the Carousel. He also got to go on Casey Junior, but since we were in the monkey cage we couldn't get a picture. And of course, we had to wait in line to see the princesses. After all, they hadn't seen Bailey in her Belle dress yet!!!!
