Levi's First Haircut

Levi had his first "haircut" last week at Studio 158 in Escondido. It wasn't really an official haircut because he really wouldn't let Kristen get a hold of his hair. He was really interested in her scissors and wanted to take them from her.

New Obsession

Yes, I look like a freak for posting about peanut butter and honey on bread (even though it is "quite" amazing), but I'm taking a class to learn how to use my camera and am playing around with the manual settings and needed something to take a picture of. Hence the reason you get to hear about todays lunch.

Some of you may know I have a serious weakness for peanut butter, but I think it may have recently gotten worse. I am obsessed with the Alpine Valley bread that Costco carries. I was so sad while the San Marcos location was closed because I didn't know where I could get it. This bread, untoasted so it's still soft, with natural peanut butter and creamed honey from Trader Joe's is to die for. Ah, yeah...

Noah's 2nd Birthday!

I always say, life is too short enjoy as much as you can. Noah's 2nd birthday was a great example of this. Some may say, "All this for a 2 year old?" I say "All this for everyone". It was such a great time for all of this and something we will all remember. Adriana did an amazing job!

Carnival time...

Here's the birthday boy in his custom shirt.

Movie Night at the Irwin's

Last Saturday we went to the Irwins for a BBQ and backyard movie. I really respect these guys for remembering to enjoy life. They always have fun family events planned.

After an amazing stack of bbq'd ribs we sat down to watch "The Sandlot". I'd actually never seen it before. Such a cute movie.

I was pretty impressed that Levi seemed to be entertained as well. 

Their new backyard has turned out so great. Perfect for all the kids running around.

Mike and Levi

I always run into my brother in the Trader Joe's/Major Market parking lot. He likes to take his dog Charlie for walks there. He's funny, he says he doesn't like babies, but I think the jury's out...

He likes to call him Blue.
