First beach day 2009

Finally a beautiful San Diego Day, 80 and sunny! We made the most of the weather and took the boys to the beach. I was fully expecting to be chasing the boys and digging sand out of their mouths the whole day but we actually were able to lay out for a few hours while they played and we took turns baby wrangling!

1st Birthday Photo Shoot

Brianna and I decided to share the sitting fee with our favorite photographer and have the boys 1st birthday pictures taken in a park rather than a studio session. Guess who wasn't in a good mood again for having his pictures taken...ALEX JAMES! Mary is a wonderful photographer so she still was able to get some great shots. Below is the preview of our pictures, the rest will not be edited and available for a few weeks. ENJOY!

Valentines Day 2009

Patrick and I have never really celebrated V-day since our anniversaries have always been very close to that day. (We met Feb 22, 2001 and got married March 4, 2006) But since we were apart it made me wish we did. I got flowers from him in the morning and flowers from my lil boys in the afternoon (thanks mom) then went to dinner with Brianna and her family. Alex and Joey looked so handsome, we are very lucky mama's.

We found an awesome play gym in Carlsbad for kids of all ages but has a special section for 2 and under. GREAT for rainy days!

Smartest idea ever...a giant fan!

Alex's First Birthday Party

Our Baby Boys are 1

We had Alex's birthday party at our house Wednesday February 4th! We had a great time and lots of friends came for the celebration. We wish Daddy had been there but he kind of was =) Patrick sent an email the night before with a picture message for Alex so I printed out a few copies; The first I put on the pillow next to Alex when he woke up he saw Daddy then one next to his high chair it was really nice but silly too! THANK YOU everyone for coming and the awesome gifts, we hope you had a great time!

Alex's Birthday Week

Everyone who knows me knows that I get very anxious when I have to entertain, so needless to say I was super nervous about having both of our Parents visiting for Alex's birthday week when I was by myself. But...

WE HAD A BLAST...who needs Patrick (jk babe)!

Patrick's Parents flew in on Friday night, we went shopping for Alex's presents, went to Alex's first baseball game at UC San Diego and had lunch in La Jolla and saw a baby seal that was only a few hours old learning to fend off birds.
