Gobble Gobble Gobble

This isn't just a turkey as you can plainly see.

I made from my hand which is a part of me.

It comes with lots of love especially to say.

I hope you have a very happy thanksgiving day!

Jack's 1st arts and crafts project



Our Halloween was Spooktacular!

  

We wanted to make sure we didn't miss a beat. We went to the pumpkin patch, carved  pumpkins, and of course went trick or treating in Old Town Orange. Lions and Tigers, and MONKEYS oh my!!


 

 


Oh no Mom...what is that?

Jack and Luke had so much fun at the Pumpkin Patch. Jack was very protective and making sure that Luke wouldn't topple over in the bundle of pumpkins.

New adventures means more memories

 Jack and I started Mommy-n-Me classes the end of September with our best friends Tracy and Luke.  ZoomBuggy  is held every Friday from 11:00-12:00 at the Tustin Dance Center. We focus on fun sounds and lots of dancing. Our morning starts with stretching and saying good morning to all of our friends in class. We dance to silly songs, play with noise makers, and colorful scarfs. Class comes to an end with quite time and of course more singing. Here is one of Jack's favorite songs.

There will always be sunshine

There will always be blue skies

There will always be mommy/daddy

There will always be me. 

Cuddle time

The boys weren't too sure about playing with scarfs

Luke is the youngest in the class but that doesn't stop him from singing n dancing

We made hammocks out of blankets and the boys loved it!

Summer lovin'

We had such an amazing summer. Jack enjoyed fun in the sun, lots of swimming with his cousins, hanging out with his new bff Luke, Angel games, and to end the summer right...the Orange Street Fair.

                          

Homemade Baby Food...and he likes it!

That's right...I am making homemade baby food. I started with the basics and it was so easy and so much fun to make. I figured as long as I have the time and energy why not give Jack yummy, organic homemade fruits and veggies. We statrted with Sweet Peas, Butternut Squash, Carrots, Green Beans, Pears, and of course Bananas. I am sure that I won't be able to make everything all the time, so don't give me a hard time when you see me pull out a jar of Gerber.

I love Sweet Peas

I think I dropped some

Summer 2010 Forrest Falls adventure

Our summer getaway took a bit more planning now that Jack is here, but to my surprise he continues to go along for the ride. Grandpa was in town to celebrate our birthdays and we wanted to do something fun, exciting, and outdoors. We packed up the car with lunch, sunscreen, and lots of water and headed up the mountain to Forrest Falls.

Jack was strapped on and away we went. It was really hot so we made sure to stop along the way and cool off in the creeks.

Everyone had a lot of fun, with only a couple bumps along the way. Of course Kim jumped off a rock and landed on her knee. She was a mess within the first 5mins of the hike. Once we got to the top we found a creek that the kids were able to swim in. Jack of course went into instant heat coma and took a break with his Grandpa. While Brieanna, Kim, and Saundee hiked all the way to the top to the waterfalls.

Baby Luke

Baby Luke Ludin has finally arrived. August 12th, 2010. Tracy was lucky enough to have a scheduled c-section which allowed us to have one final outing at Tustin Brew Co to talk about "what's next". Jack gave Luke a little pep talk, and told him that he couldn't wait to finally meet him.

Precious!

I told Tracy it was like Christmas day waiting for the phone call giving us the green light to go see Baby Luke. Luke is beautiful and Tracy looked amazing. We are so happy for the Ludins and can't wait to create many memories together. What a blessing to have our boys grow up together.

Jack's 4mth check-up

What can I say...he is perfect! Well that's what the doctor said. Jack is now 17.5lbs 27inch long and doing everything a 4mth old baby should be doing. Dr. Tran actually walked in and said "wow he doesn't look like a 4mth old baby". Jack is in the 95% in weight, and 90% in height....considered to be above average.

He took his shots like a champ...let out one big cry and then he was all better. He was a bit more fussy after this round of shots, and had a low grade fever. He slept if off and woke up ready to play. That's my boy!!

DJ Walker is the best!

Dr Tran gave us the green light to start Jack on cereal and of course he loves it. I can't wait til next month we are going to start making our own Veggies YUMMY!

My 35th Birthday

I can't believe that I am 35...OMG! We'll after all the candles I have blown out and the many wishes I have made...I can say they have finally come true! I have a beautiful family, my health, and surrounded by amazing people everyday.

We started the day off at Troys for the most yummy breakfast burritos ever, waked around the Block at Orange (in search for a birthday outfit...no luck), then dropped off Jack with Grandma Judy for a night out on the town (we were home by 9pm...lol). Jude and I celebrated my birthday at Citrus City Cafe in the circle. The next night I was surprised with a family dinner at Carmens. What more could a girl ask for!
