A much needed update!

Since I have been slacking on posting, I thought that I would post one to two pictures per activity that we have done over the summer. We spent countless hours in the pool. Sometime we would not put a diaper on Jeremy, so his swim trunks would fall down. I think that his little butt is the cutest! Mike bought a pool side basketball hoop; so we would have b-ball games all the time, sometimes even till midnight. The pool has been so much fun this summer!

This fourth of July, we had Mikes two sisters and their families over for a BBQ, swimming, fireworks and a walk to the park. Here is a picture of his cute girl cousins at the park.

For the first time this summer, we took Jeremy to Griffith Park to ride the ponies. He was so excited to get on the "horsie." After the ride was over, he felt a little scared and didn't want t go on again. I think he had fun, in the picture he looks a little worried........

Jeremy and I went to the beach many times this summer. Jeremy LOVES the beach. He plays in the sand and loves when we take him down to the water to put his feet in. I thought that this picture was cute because he looks like a little man "sunbathing" and eating his cracker.

This is a picture of Jeremy at the San Diego Zoo. He didn't want to be in his stroller and would not stay near us, so I had to buy a backpack leash for him. At first he didn't like it, but warmed up to it. He is quite the little climber and monkey himself..........

Jeremy turned two years old on July 22! I cant believe he has gotten so big. For his birthday we had family come over for swimming, pizza, salad, and Red-velvet cake (i made it from scratch...it turned out to be very yummy. the frosting was white-chocolate cream cheese.....yummy!) We had a "Yo Gabba Gabba" themed party. Gifts included, a big push car, yo gabba gabba toys, a golf/baseball set, a basketball bath toy, books, and some new clothes. He had so much fun; he especially loved when we sang to him!

After Jeremy's birthday, we drove to Laughlin, nevada. We go every year with my family. Jeremy had so much fun going on the "yides" (sea doos) We basically stayed in the water for the whole week while we were there! There was only one injury.....Jeremy touched a display light in one of the hotels gift shop and burned his tiny little thumb.....he was very sad. We love laughlin.

After Laughlin, we went to Sequoia National Park and camped for 2 nights and 3 days. We had tons of fun hiking and spending time with family.

Jeremy loved playing in the dirt at our campsite.....had to take a picture!

This picture got out of order. In May Jeremy and I went to Arizona for Jeremy's cousin, Cameron's baptism. We drove up with Mikes parents. It was a very quick trip but had lots of fun.

This is Jeremy's new face. We call it his male-model face. We tell him to do zoolander and he performs 90% of the time!

Jeremy and I drove down to San Diego twice and went to Sea World with his cousins Kelsey and Chloe. He loves his cousins very much. He enjoyed all of the shows and didnt complain at all!

Jeremy loves playing with the hose, so I have him water our lawn......hehe

Just this past weekend, we had the opportunity to drive up to Utah for a very special event. Mike's dad, Larry got inducted into the BYU hall of fame for football. There was a special ceremony and dinner which was very nice. Al of the inductees got to go on the field at half time at the BYU game, we had amazing seats......section 1 row 1!!

Since our seats were basically on the field, we got to talk to Cosmo!! Cosmo was at the end of our row, so I told Jeremy to yell at Cosmo to come and he did!

Overall we have had such an awesome fun filled summer. Jeremy's vocab is grwoing ever day! Here is a list of his new words.

yaown-lay down

s*it-sit

I yuv you-i love you

poot-toot or fart or whatever you want to call bodily functions

he yells "hey hey" to the animals when they are not doing what he wants them to

he says "sorry" when he wants us to move

juicey-juice

mulkie-milk

He has started to combine words to everything. From "I want..." "pease move mommy" car mommy, I really wanted to post his cute words. So until next time........
