Let the Good Times Roll

Gav keeps us constantly entertained. Friday night while I was pumping and watching TV, Gav runs in our room and says he has to go pee and heads to the restroom. He comes out and starts walking to my bed. I tell him to turn around and go wash his hands. He places his stool in front of the sink and I hear the water come on. 10 min later I realize the water is still running and call to Gav to find out what was going on. I lean on my side and there he his... He had lathered up both arms, neck, and upper chest. I busted out laughing and told Boom to get the camera...so this is him rinsing off.


We had my bday party on Saturday. It was fun and crazy...jello shots were involved. Gav was the entertainment, he danced all night long. He had to take his shirt off because he was so hot from the "jerkin" and break dancing. By the end of night Boom was in the pool with his boxers only and then riding a man made scooter, Craig thinks he broke his toe. Here's a shot from how the night started...Grandma taking Jello shots... I believe she took 3 or 4!


My mom did an awesome job. She got balloons and confetti with my name. My bday cake came from Hansen's and it had the Chanel logo all over it because they call me Coco. This birthday was awesome! Thank you to everyone for coming... I had a blast. Go to the August photo album to see all the fun!
 

Yeah Me!!!

Today is my 27th birthday. Saturday I'm having a party at my parent's. Boom got me diamond earrings and a diamond ring with matching necklace. This is more than I ever expected for my bday, so I'm really happy. Thank you Dillon for my personal Birthday cake. We went to dinner tonight at Ooka, it is like a Benihanas

Party Animal

On Friday night we took Gav to see N.E.R.D. Ciara and Kanye West; and on Monday we saw Jabbawockeez, Jonas Bros, and some other teen band in concert. Boom's work put the concerts on for the employees and their family. Gav had a blast but he fell asleep after the first song of both main acts and woke up for the last 3. He danced in his seat the entire time. N.E.R.D. and Kanye West were awesome, Ciara was... I love the Jabbawockeez, so that was a treat foe Boom and I at a teen concert, but the Jonas Bros do put on a good concert. The screaming girls was insane...my ears are still throbbing. The video is one of the Jabbawockeez's performances and the first picture is from Kanye West and the last is the Jonas Bros. More photos are in the August folder

Shark Week

We love the Discovery Channel and even more Shark Week. Everyday we watch shows on everything about sharks. This was A's first shark experience and she loved it. A talked to the sharks the whole time.

This is Gavin being a shark! He took the picture himself

2 Months

Austen is 2 months old and weighs 11.8 lbs and 23.25 inches long. She has grown so much already. We are learning her personality very well. She gets very quickly, we constantly have to change what we are doing with her to keep her smiling. A refuses bottles and pacifiers, she rather use me. I must admit that I like how clingy she is. Having kids is so much fun and exhausting. I can never keep up with cleaning or the random to dos. My days seem so short and limited, Gav is at school by 9am and A doesn't like to be out of bed any early than 11am...so if I have errands to run we aren't out of the house til 1230 and I get Gav by 3pm. When we are home I like play with Gav, but trying to do that and prepare for dinner and then bedtime puts us way off schedule =late bedtimes. Hopefully I get some extra energy and a schedule down soon, school begins in September and I need to be ready


Gavin and A rode in a limo for their first time. My mom's bday was July 2nd, but the family went out of town so we celebrated last Friday by taking her to Ketchup in West Hollywood. Gav had a blast!!! He danced around, threw balloons and Boom let him stick his head out the window a few times, not happy about that. It was a great time.

Happy 4th

Kelli, grandma, Myrna, Dillon, Leila and Robert went with us to Huntington Beach on the 3rd. Gav and Dill played in the water while A and Leila relaxed in the shade. Boom and Rob tried boogie boarding and drifted off far away, Boom also received a really nice sunburn I wish I got a picture of it. You can see all the spots Robert missed with the sunblock.





On the 4th we bbq at my parent's house. Gav and Izel went swimming and we had fireworks. Ivan brought the cool old school sparklers. The next door neighbors created a firework show that you would only see in a stadium.

June

For our anniversary and father's day we stayed in Newport Beach from 18-21. A went to the beach for the first time and Gav was buried in the sand. He had so much fun playing in the water, playing catch and digging in the sand with daddy. Boomer and Gav also went to an Angels game that weekend. Some of the pictures from that weekend are in Austen's 1 month album.

1 Month Old

We can't believe A is a month old and weighs 9.2lbs and 22in long, she is no longer a newborn. Things have been pretty good with a couple of rough days, because of sleepiness on my end (we know how cranky I can get =D). Gav goes to summer school 3 days a week so A and I can sleep in. She sleeps through the night except for a 3am feeding. A is awake for a few hours at a time and loves to look at faces, light and toys that tangle. She smiles a lot at our faces. It is so heart-melting to look at her and she smiles back. She does fuss during the day when she is ready to sleep or eat, but her whines are heavenly compared to 3 yr old's tantrum. Having 2 kids is fun. On the days Gav stays home, I take the kids out for some air or A and I double team Gav at basketball. Gav is great with his little sis. I call him Mr. Mom because he is so protective of her. My little boy has grown so much, he has became heavier since A has been born.

Zoo Day

Crystal and Lee were still down, so we decided to take the boys out for the day. We visited the San Diego Zoo for the day. Austen came along for the fun. She slept most of the day. There was time when she was wide awake and wanted to see everything. I tried keeping her head covered but she became angry when I did that. It was funny, A (austen) was a big attraction herself, people love to see babies. We took a bus tour to see all the animals and then we walked around to see a few animals up close. The boys had snakes painted on their faces. All Gav wanted to see was the rhinos and giraffes and me the elephants.

Lee's 4th Bday

My nephew Lee had his 4th bay on 5/17 because he lives in Las Vegas, we threw a party for him on 5/30. It was a Power Rangers theme party. Gav, Lee and Dillon were all dressed as Power Rangers. There was a giant waterslide for the kids. The weather could have been better, but they didn't care. Thank you to everyone who made the day special for him.
