That Can't be Comfortable

This is how Aaron found Garrett today when he was supposed to be taking a nap in his crib. How does he get out so quietly, and why would he rather sleep in a chair than in his own bed? Beats me!

Mid State Fair

We took Garrett to the Mid-State Fair in Paso Robles tonight. It is a big deal on the Central Coast. We had a great time attending this year with our friends Bret, Jenn and Tanner, we visited the livestock, had a funnel cakes (there goes working out this morning) and checking out all the exhibits. Garrett's favorite part was playing on the tractor display and seeing Sparky the Fire Dog. As tradition Aaron and Garrett rocked their cowboy attire to the fair. Garrett had on a his cowboy boots, but on the way to the fair, he decided that he did need to wear them anymore. Good thing I remembered to bring an extra pair of shoes!

We will go back on Thursday night to see Rascal Flatts in concert, we are going with Mandi, Chris, and Shelli. We are looking forward on taking Garrett back another time before it ends next week too.Garrett and dad with the Cerro Alto 4-H pigs.

Vacation Time

With all the happenings lately, we decided not to go anywhere and just enjoy what our home county has to offer. It has been a fun couple of days and as you can see in the pictures Garrett is loving every minute of it. The second picture could be titled "Footprints in the Sand"

Every Boy Wants a John Deere Tractor

Garrett's latest obsession are tractors, he pronounces it "tract-toe". At Tanner's (Garrett calls him TT) birthday party they (Brett and Jenn, our next door neighbors) had a John Deere theme complete with an actual tractor. They had tri-tip sandwiches that were to die for, they were delicious. All the kids had a great time playing and sitting on top of the tractor. It was the hit of the party!

Fun in the Big Yellow Pool

The actual title for this post should be "No Fear". Do you see him sliding down head first? This boy has no fear of getting hurt...he always leaves my on the edge of my seat!
Words cannot describe how much I'm in love with this cute little man!

Missy's Baby Shower

Last Saturday some friends and I through our friend Missy a shower. She is about to have a little girl, after already having two boys under 4, she is ready for a little girl! We had a great time, and Alissa even showed up with little Maverick, he is too cute.

Cayucos Beach

Aaron, Garrett and I spend Saturday at Cayucos Beach with our neighbors Jenn and Bret. Bret was working on the yard at his parents beach shack, so we came and spent the day with Jenn and Tanner at the beach. We had clam chowder, walked through all the antique shops and took the boys to play in the sand. It was really windy, but turned out to be a really fun Saturday afternoon.

Daddy's Little Helper

A Baby Boy is Born!

Our friends Alissa and Ben gave birth to Maverick Benjamin Bright on
July 1, 2007. He weighed a whopping 10 lbs. 7 oz. Alissa deserves a metal for all her hard work bringing him into this world. She went into the hospital to have him on Wednesday and didn't give birth until SUNDAY!

We went to visit the little family on Friday and got to hold Maverick, he is so little and cute. I didn't get to hold for very long, Aaron stole him away and was holding him most of the time. I think he has baby fever worse than I do!

4th of July Pics

Burrito baby, neighborhood fireworks show and family time all made up our 4th of July!

This year we spend the evening at my friend Michelle and Tony's house in Templeton. The kids had a fun time swimming and lighting off fireworks. Garrett wasn't too sure if he was supposed to be scared or excited about fireworks, he wanted me to hold him during most of the "show". Earlier that day we went to a pancake breakfast at church where they also had a flag raising ceremony, it was a great way to start off the day.
We had a great time spending the 4th relaxing and enjoying a little family time!
Michelle's daughter Mikaela in the middle next to her friend Savannah, they were babysitting Garrett and playing with him the whole night. Too cute.

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th, hope you all have a safe and fun holiday!

Trivia-5 years ago on this day Aaron proposed to me at Pismo Beach...crazy how time flies!

Little Stinker

I put Garrett down for his afternoon nap, and after a few hours I went into check on him since he had been asleep for a while (he usually doesn't take long naps). This is how I found Garrett...he is too funny! He had got out of his crib, got all his shoes and toys out then must have fell back asleep.

Peyton's First Birthday

"Hold on tight Peyton, were going for a ride"

Last weekend we drove over to Tehachapi for my nieces 1st birthday party. We had a great time hanging out with the family. Aaron got to sneak in two golf trips, and I was able to get a pedicure and Stamp It Up! with Mandi, Shelli and Amy (who was visiting from Texas).
Peyton's party was at the Tehachapi City Park, and the whole party was themed in polka dots. Polka dot balloons, polka dot dress, cake, goody bags...it was really a polka dot party. Mandi did a really great job putting the party together. Happy birthday Peyton!
