Our little Peanut turned TWO today.

Time certainly has flown by with this guy.

This spirited little boy has quite a sense of humor and certainly makes his emotions known. He has no volume control but thankfully holds a tune when he sings. He loves his sister and wants to do everything she does. He also has a mind of his own and tends to say “NO!” to everything first and then says “I want it!” He has learned so much in daycare these past few months and knows his colors, animals, and tons of songs. He can wash his hands and clean up after himself after meals like a big boy too.  He’s a much better sleeper than he used to be and naps like a champ. He frustrates me to no end most mornings but makes it up in big hugs, smooches, and charm.

Happy 2nd, Baby Boy! Love you!

We got a minivan!!!

I grew up traveling in a minivan and it was so much fun!! I always thought it would be fun to have my own kids and drive them around in the dopest ride in the neighborhood. Well, Jesse has finally come to his senses and made the decision to take us out to the dealer to buy the Honda Odyssey that I always wanted my dad to get for us when we were kids.  We picked up this 2014 Touring model with only 17K miles on it last Saturday (7/15/17) from a Toyota dealership in Walnut Creek. These two kids have no idea how lucky they are but they certainly love their new car…just as much as I do.

And we managed to get it to fit in the garage with the black car! Yay!

We wanted to see what the car could do so we drove down to Southern California this past weekend. The kids had a comfy ride with an entertainment system and all.

We also took a back road and tested it on some steep hills. Check out this wind farm that we drove through in Livermore!!
