Halloween Photo Shoot Outtakes

Here are some fun pics of the boys not cooperating during their photo session. :)

That's goldfish crackers that young Co-da is showing.

He LOVES his costume. This was taken as soon as I put the costume on him.

Happy Halloween 2007

San Diego Fires - We are Safe

Just a quick note to let everyone know that we are safe now. We had been evacuated on Sunday because the fire was closing in on our area.

Yesterday morning, the fire was within about a mile from our house. Fortunately, they were able to do an air assault on the fire and extinguish the fire near us. The shift in wind helped as well.

We were able to go home last night and what a great feeling that was!

Please keep all other evacuees and those that lost their homes in your prayers and thoughts. SO many are displaced right now and it is bittersweet that our home is still standing while others have lost everything.

The boys are happy to be home. They bothed missed their toys and started playing with them immediately. DJ confessed that the thing he missed the most was his Playstation 2 so that was the first thing he played with. :)

An Oldie But a Goodie

I just had to post this pic of DJ when he was 1 because he was so darn cute!!!!!

More Pictures

Just a few more pictures from the summer (and this month)

At the Birch Aquarium - DJ striking a Zoolander pose


Cody already knows how to do the "fake" smile for the camera

Cody's 1st wedding - Getting ready for Auntie Val and Uncle Aaron's wedding

My boys looking handsome

The kids at the Nature Center. I told them to act like birds and this is what I got! :) Notice how Cody is looking at them like they are all crazy! HAHA

In the pool that papa bought that broke after only about a week!

It's Been Awhile

I know it has been a LONG 3 months since I last posted pictures of the boys.

The summer went by really fast with the boys spending most of their summer with Kacy and Gian. They had a blast with them and hated for them to go.

DJ has grown a lot in the past few months both physically and developmentally. Let's just say he is getting too smart! :) Sometimes, it feels like I am talking to a 16 year old when he tries to negotiate his way into something.

Cody is growing fast, too! Since the last time I blogged, he has begun to self feed (FINALLY), is cruising along the furniture and is THIS close to walking on his own, is a crawling speed demon (speed racer has nothing on him!) and is just LOADS of fun. He is a prankster like his brother. Like DJ, he loves to make people laugh. He is sooo much fun to have around. He is starting to talk a lot, but still refuses to say mama. I know he knows how, he just won't do it in front of me!

DJ doesn't think he is so much fun, though, when he picks on DJ, laughs at him when he is crying and beats him up. Thank goodness that for the most part, DJ is pretty good about not retaliating.

DJ is in his 2nd year of preschool and is starting to write his letters and I swear the boy can read even if he says he doesn't know how! :)

Here are a few pictures from one of their days outside enjoying the summer.

On daddy's father's day present - a Harley
and if I may quote one of my favorite movies- "I need a coooool rider, a cool cool cool cool rider" (the Ponce girls will know what I mean! LOL)


The serious look

THUMBS UP! He even does the Fonz's "EY" when he gets those thumbs up.
