GOGO13


So Johnny has been in this band for probably about 9 years now, and they have finally released a record! It is actually pretty good. I like the cover too, I think that little boy is super cute.

They have a couple shows coming up in October, one is at the Glass House on the 22nd. They are playing with the Aggrolites, and the other is at the Knitting Factory with a bunch of ska bands. GoGo13 is the featured band that night. Way to go honey on releasing the album!

Photo Shoot

Saturday Johnny took pictures. Here are some of the ones I liked. They still need to be touched up in photo shop, but for the most part I think they are pretty good. One of the advantages of being married to an amazing photographer is getting great photos of my kids. I love how he captured their personalities.








Dog Pile!



After Sunday dinner we lined up all the grandkids for a picture.  They were so cute, and then they decided to have a dog pile on JB and uncle Dave.

Skater Boy


CJ loves his new ramp.  He always wears his helmet, except in this photo of course.  This was taken at about 7:30 in the morning before we went to church.  He is doing a fakey in this photo. He has improved his skating so much since we built this ramp.  

Bottle Feeding




It is so cute to see how much this big brother loves his baby sister.  Little sis does not like taking a bottle very much, but she loves watching her older brother feed her.

Whistle While You Work



I was unloading the dishwasher one night, and Miss B comes along in her snow White dress and starts helping  me.  She was so cute.  She loves to play dress up.  I bought a bunch of princess dresses at the Children's Orchard for her to play with.

Bed Time



We just had sweet pea's 6 month check up. She weighed 14 pounds 4 ounces (25th percentile) and was 26 inches long (50th percentile).

Little Love looked so cute before she went to bed.  There is something about a clean baby in fresh pink jammies that just makes me melt.

Your Baby Can Read

My kids have been watching those Reading DVD's.  I'm not sure if they are working, but the kids look so cute watching it all together.

Savi's Birthday

Our neighbor Savi turned 3, and for her birthday she had a bounce house. The kids had a blast. The bounce house was there all day. CJ, Miss B and Savi jumped from 8 AM to 7 PM.
Shooting some hoops.
There were only a few kids at the party, so they had plenty of space to jump.
Even Daddy had some fun going down the slide.
Happy Birthday girl Savi.
Little buddies.

I Love this Boy!


He was so cute asleep with his "Hula" on his tummy.  I love this boy!

Chuck E Cheese

CJ was concentrating so hard trying go drive this monster truck.  M was really nervous that he was going to crash.


I took the kids to Chuck E Cheese for a day of fun.  They loved going on all the rides.

Matching PJ's




I bought the girls some matching pajama's.  They looked so cute together I had to snap a photo.

Six Month Photo Shoot

I've been begging JB to take  some photos of little sunshine, but he's been so busy, so I decided to do it myself.  I thought they turned out pretty cute.  I just took them at home on our futon with a blanket.  She is my angel baby.  I could not have asked for a sweeter little girl.

Little Girl's Heaven



We went to lunch in California Adventure at Ariel's Grotto.  The girls were in heaven.  All the princesses were there.  They all came to our table and talked to the girls.  It was such a fun, special day for them.


Miss B went up to all of the princesses and was giving them the longest loves and hugs.  It was so cute.
She ran right up to Cinderella and gave her a hug.  I was surprised because M is usually shy.
Miss B and Savi were in awe.

C monster was not sure what to think.  At first I had to drag him to the table.  He did not want to see the princesses.  I think he liked the attention towards the end.  The princesses thought he was a handsome prince.
Little sunshine and the princesses.
Giving Mulan hugs.
We were at the last table, so all the princesses were at our table at the end.  
M giving Belle loves.  She gave each princess probably a 20 second hug.  It was so sweet.  Those princesses were so cute with all of the little girls.
Talking to Belle about life.
Baby girl was playing with the roses on Belle's dress.  M loved holding hands with the princess.
Giving Snow White hugs.
Cheese!
The food was good too.  It was a 4 course meal.  CJ and I had tri tip for lunch.  The dessert was super yummy too.
Perfect angel all day.
The restaurant was really pretty and the air conditioning felt amazing too.
M with her favorite princess, Ariel.  Miss B kept running up to her and giving her hugs all throughout lunch, and towards the end of lunch while we were getting ready to leave she was talking to Ariel.  She was telling Ariel that she was a mermaid too, and that she was going to be a mermaid for Halloween. 
Happy birthday Savi!
Saying goodbye to Ariel.  M was sad to leave.
