Boston at age 2







Here is Boston at age two in a nutshell so I dont forget these tiny details that I will look back on and love.

He  had his 2 year old check up with the doctor.  This is what they found.  He is a normal two year old boy:)  and all BOY for sure!!!He is 33 and a half inches tall (27%).  All the rides at Disneyland and Legoland require 34 inches so we will a couple months to tackle those places while we are here. He weighs 28.5 pounds (55%).  He is still in normal BMI range, but short and stalky!  His head is 48.3 inches (40%).

He will anything (or anyone) with anything he can possible use.  He spends a lot of time in time out because his sister is his favorite target :(  She handles it really good and does not hit him back.... but I think one day he will hit her and she will let loose on him.  He is getting a little better since he gets time out every time he does it.   He loves to swing his bat at furniture, the walls, the toys, anything else also.

He loves to play football with Travis.  It is the cutest thing ever.  Trav will say "down, set," and Boston will say "hut" with the ball in his hand and run as fast as he can.  Travis will tackle him and he giggles so loud.  I have the best husband and my kids have the cutest dad ever!  Boston is now into baseball season though. He loves his Boston Red Sox baseball hat and Red Sox Jersey he got from G&G Rowley.  He  loves his mitt and loves to play catch and likes to throw the ball.  He also likes to kick any ball he can find around the house also.  He loves basketball and says "Brennan" when he sees basketball players on the T.V.  He adores his Uncle Brennan who is ALWAYS playing basketball at Grandma's. We need to get Boston's hoop down here and out of storage I think.

He is a heartbreaker..... already.  All the women at church will come find and tell me he is "the cutest boy I have ever seen."  He's got a big crush on Adelyn's best friend Brooklynne though....so I think his heart is taken at this moment by her.  He will ask for her all day, and when he sees her he will grin from ear to ear.  It is the funniest thing.

He loves trucks.  He loves the trucks books Aunt Dee gave him for his birthday. Target has been renovating here and we spent a lot of time in the parking lot staring at the construction men (NOT ME.... HIM come on!)  I always apologize to them because he literally will watch them for 10 minutes.  He cries when we get ready to leave and when I drive away.... but it gets too awkward.

He loves to "ride it" to the mail box down the road.  His buzz lightyear car that is.  He likes to stand on it and drive it at the same time which is scary.  It also goes to slow for him and he gets a little upset, but what do ya do.  Funny boy.

Adelyn is his very best friend.  The two of them can play together for hours each day.  No one makes him laugh as much or as hard as she does.  She is the best big sister ever!  She is just so much fun all the time.  Boston even likes to "dance" with her a little bit.  It is mostly him shaking his hips from side to side.... but I guess that is what dancing is.  He likes the music that G&G Young sent him.

We adore him!  Happy 2nd buddy!

Bostons Cake


I made Boston a Cars cake for the big 2! that is what he wanted he said for his cake. He absolutley loves MATER.   We sang Happy Birthday to him, and then he sang it to himself after:) The cake turned out better than I thought it would (I dont have the best baking skills) and a lot cheaper than I thought it would be too thanks to Vons.

Celebrating Boston's #2 at Disneyland

Boston turned two this weekend.  I can hardly believe it.  It seems like the little man has always been a part of  our little family and really weird that he is already two at the same time.  I will give more of an update on the little mistro later after we have his well check appointment where all the stats will be verified :)  But here is how we celebrated him this year.

Boston always gets the bummer deal and has never had a birthday (other than his actual birthday) spent with the extended family.  I feel so bad about this.  We had some tickets from DisneyWorld that we never used in Florida and that transferred over to Disneyland, so we spent the day there.  Our kids absolutely loved the Disney Junior theatre, Boston and loved didnt quite know what to think of the Star Wars, and they loved the Monsters Inc ride.  Hopefully we will be making a trip back soon!!

The happiest place on earth

Waiting for the ride
We actually saw Tinkerbell this time. YAH!!

We had a little breakfast with Cars table cloth, plates and cups.  Boston told me he wanted a "Mater" cake this year so we just went with the whole Cars theme.  After breakfast, we opened his gifts before we headed out the door to Disneyland.

Valentines Day 2012

Travis' family has an awesome family tradition for valentines for the kids that we decided to carry on this year.  When the kids wake up in the morning, there is a string attached to their breakfast chair which makes loops and turns and takes each individual kid to there very own presents which are hidden in the house.  The kids has such a blast!  It was fun to see them get so excited while following the string to find what was at the end of the string.



And for the LOVE OF MY LIFE.... I decided to print off photos of us in the many places we have been in the past 7 years. On the back of each photo, I wrote a specific trait I love about Travis. I also gave him his favorite... a liter of Mountain Dew and a huge Symphony bar.  
My man gave me some beautiful flowers and the Taylor Swift CD.  
I am so blessed to have these 3 as my family.  I pray I can live worthy of them and show my love to each of them more each day. 

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!

Fan Days



























We went to Petco Park for fan days for the Padres.  It was so cool. We were able to walk through the players dressing rooms and onto the field.  The kids ran the actual bases which Travis thought was awesome.  They had tractors there and Boston HAD to go sit on the John Deers.  Then we made our way to the bounce houses and up to the Tony Gwynn statue.  It was a blast.  Heres the pictures
