4th of July in Monterey, CA

For Fourth of July this year, we decided to take a trip to Monterey, one of our most favorite places to be! We spent time on the beach, the aquarium, did some shopping, and lots of eating! Most importantly, we found out 3 months after this trip that I was expecting again. The whole summer I wasn't feeling too well. I was always light-headed, nauseaus, and plain SICK! I didn't realize I was pregnant until August. This trip was when we expanded our family...I guess. :)

He has got the wildest hair ever. We started on rice cereal, but it didn't last very long because it seemed like he was allergic to it or something. He had bad eczema, so we didn't feed him baby food until September.
Jacob totally acting like a big bro.

Of course when you are visiting Monterey, you CAN NOT not go to the Dennis the Menace Park. It just screams FUN for kids, especially Jacob!

Trains...totally in love with trains.

Our first day visit to the aquarium.

Our favorite beach.

Jacob has some sensory issues, so it was trying to get him to play in the sand. He wanted to play so much, but wanted to be carried. Daddy wouldn't do it, so he eventually did it all by himself because he wanted to play. I couldn't help but laugh from afar. You can tell Jeremiah was getting frustrated because Jacob kept screaming and crying if he wasn't carried to and from the water.

Day 2

Riding the train at Casa de Fruita. We always stop there before heading home to Tracy.

Isn't he just so adorable?

First Disneyland Trip in Feb '11

The Easter Bunny brought our family tickets to our first Disneyland trip this year! Aunt Monica was so sweet to knit some Mickey Mouse hats for the boys. Jacob had been watchingthe sing along songs to Disneyland and was prepared for eerything DISNEYLAND!
As we were walking through Downtown Disney, one of the security guys told us we couldn't bring in this wagon because we were pulling from behind. Soooo...we had to go back to our hotel and get the stroller. Good thing I had Jeremiah pack the one seat stroller. So guess who sat in it the whole time?? Yep, Mr. Jacob! THat left me carrying Taylor our entire trip. The classic place to take pics at Disney!

Happiest place everrrrr!
