Felicita Park

I'm just going to start your day off with an overload of Jake From State Farm cuteness!!!

We ventured out this weekend and found a sweet little park, Felicita Park, it was just perfect for us.

Thomas does not do well in crowds, thus going out always leads to stressed parents, but we NEED to get out every now and then.

They had a sweet little park and swings...all 4 of my "kids" had a blast.

Jake, his royal sweetness, relaxed in the swings...it gave a little relief from the nasty teeth.

Tommy managed to sneak in a quick workout...don't think the Navy will consider this weekly pt though!?!

We found a tree with a lovely ant trail. It had rained the previous two days and there was small puddles of water throughout the tree...bugs were everywhere and Thomas was on cloud nine!

What made me fall in love with this place...the itty bitty creek! Told Tommy he will have to find me a place that has a creek when he retires.

The park was full of giant rocks and boulders...

Thomas "A rock, a rock"

Tommy "Sorry buddy can't take any of these home, they're a little to big!"

Five seconds later he finds a rock to take home...silly daddy, don't ever challenge a kid!

No words needed here!

It was just beautiful. The kids had a blast, we searched for rocks, flowers, bugs and hi-copters (Thomas language for helicopters). We had zero meltdowns and even enjoyed a pleasant dinner afterwards.

It has got to be the best trip out since we've moved to California and I can't wait to go back.

Come see us and we'll take you too.

Best Worst idea EVER

I've been away from the blog for a while, sorry about that, we've been caught up in just enjoying life. Morning cuddles, afternoon park visits, eating out and sadly still unpacking!

But here I am with some wonderful photos of sweet potatoes, brotherly love, a little boy in touch with his girly side and Tommy's best worst decision he's ever made!!!

Jake has been dabbling into some food here and there. So far we love apples and dislike sweet potatoes, but have no fear kid Gma will be here soon enough to help you love those sweet potatoes!

Thomas has fallen madly in love with Jake and it's just adorable!

He's asked several times to hold Jake and he thinks he's so "Cute"!

He asks for Jake every morning and always wants to know where he's at.

Thomas found his sisters dress up shoes she got for Easter and thinks they are the greatest pair of shoes ever.

They go really well with that diaper and his tractor!

We filled our piggy banks full of change this past week, Mommy and Daddy have a ton leftover from our move so they've been doing things to earn it and fill their banks.

My brother has an AMAZING couch...one that we've been very jealous of for a very long time,

We've wanted a new couch since we got our first one!!!

And this past week I forced Tommy out of the house to LOOK at couches...I did not plan on bringing one home.

Tommy fell in love and one was delivered the next day!

To say the kids love it is an understatement!!!!

I think they love it more than Daddy.

This has officially become Tommy's worst best idea ever. It's a good thing it breaks apart easily...but my goodness is it huge!!!
Now we need more kids to fill it up...not anytime soon, so everyone come visit us and fill up our couch!!!
