The perfect cry

Busy week

Just some pictures of the cutie pies! 

Violet's cuteness factor goes up all the time!

She's a very alert baby!

Ashton's "cheese" smile

Violet's big smiles

A date with Great-Grandparents Bob and Betty and cousin William in the park!

Lots of lovin' for this little girl!

From the park, we went to visit the fire station in Fresno. Thanks to my cousin, Danyel's boyfriend for being a "kire mam" as Ashton would say, we were able to make a visit and see the truck. Can you see the excitement in Ashton's face?!

Boys will be boys! The pre-party to cousin William's 2 year birthday!

Check out that pouty lip! I can see her cry coming a mile away!

The deal of the week

I went to Bed Bath and Beyond to get Riddex, the plug-in that is supposed to repel rodents and insects (ie spiders!) and in the meantime I wondered around and found the Deal of the Week! Sheets for Ashton that include all his favorite things - airplanes, firetrucks, trucks, and trains! So, they were marked down to $21.99 but were a full set. When I asked if they had any sheets in twin sizes they told me no but they were actually ringing up at $9.99 plus my 20% off coupon! Deal of the Week! We'll see if it makes going down to bed easier or worse!

Back at home

Ashton loves to give Violet unsolicited kisses! I think Violet and Elmo get the most kisses. Sometimes he gives his Mommy kisses too.

Trying to get some Violet pictures before Ashton realizes what I am doing

Check out the big boy underwears! Over the diaper at least but we're working on it! He has discovered he can take his diapers off, so I put the underwear on with hopes of keeping the diaper on!

Check out my new do!

Looking for the airplane!

Where did it go?

Head dunk!

Time-out outside for spitting out water!

Playing with Papa's Father's Day card. It sings and despite being left out in the sprinklers, it still works!

Finishing off the day with planting a palm with Dad!

The 4th of July

Family fun times

I made it in!

Enjoying the block party!

Just being Ashton

Some dancing...

And more dancing...

And a head tilt with the dancing!

A day without kids

Matt and I were able to enjoy a day without kids over the 4th of July weekend thanks to my parents! So what else is there to do but to wine taste?! It was a nice day and we explored 3 new wineries in the Santa Ynez mountains.

I wouldn't mind waking up to this outside my window everyday! 2nd best to of course walking outside your door and hearing the ocean! My ultimate goal would be to own a winery and make wine!

Just a day at home

Ashton wanted to hold Violet, so this is as good as it gets!

Cute picture of Mom and Ashton. Too bad Violet was moving.

She made it in!
