photoshoot

My best friend and her daughter came over Monday night and stayed till Tuesday early evening. We made sure we put the kiddos early to bed on Monday so we could watch "Martian Child", eat ice cream and get drunk on Bailey's. The movie was awesome and I made blueberry sauce to go with the vanilla ice cream... hmmm, hmmm yum! But do you think we can get drunk? We were so tired and went to bed before we even got a buzz! I know - sad...
The next morning we had a little photoshoot for Lilly's first birthday pictures. And I think we got some really good ones. See for yourself:

In the afternoon we took both kiddos to the Newport Aquarium. They were both so good and we had a great time together. Jake saw sharks, turtles, two (!) fishies and crocogators! We fed the parakeets and watched the sharks being fed.

watching the sting rays and sharks with Lilly

and look who we found!

It was a great time and I can't wait to do this again! Come back soon!!!

Favorite Book

I thought I will do a series of Jakey's favorites.
Favorite color, favorite drink, favorite food, etc.
Today I am going to talk about Jake's Favorite book.

Lady and the Tramp
























He loves, loves, loves this book! I have to read it to him at least twice a day. The funny thing is, he doesn't call it by it's title, but "Two Doggies"! Kids make life so much less complicated!

This is his favorite part of the book.




Tramp fight the rat (don't ask) and Aunt Sarah comes in the room and hits him with a broom and locks him in a closet. This is what Jake says EVERYTIME

"Oh NO, Aunt Sarah! I am going to hit you in the feet. bum bum bum" And then he will punch the book where her foot is... LOL














On a side note:
After a procedure gone bad, I am having surgery tomorrow morning. I am nervous, but also looking forward to getting this over with. I am super excited that my best friend is coming and is staying with us for a few days to help out! I will keep you updated!
