Saturday Fun!!!

First CONGRATULATIONS are in order for Joanne and Clay, baby JAX was born today! And on last Thursday the 10th Baby Sofia was born, CONGRATULATIONS to Leo and Emma also :-) You ALL are truly blessed, not that I really have to tell you that! Welcome to parenthood :-)

This past weekend we visited the park and beach at La Jolla Shores. We played hard most of the morning (ran the beach, played in the sand, ran around the park and kicking the ball) and then had a nice picnic lunch :-) Some nice pictures to enjoy below! I'll say it again, I'm blessed to have family times like these!

Picnic time!

Today was a beautiful day! We were out doors most of the morning and enjoyed a nice picnic at a community duck pond. JR loves feeding the ducks and we had a lot of bread for them. I love family days like these and love our San Diego weather :-)

Gwen & Shamu

Today I had to make one of the hardest decisions ever! We put Gwen and Shamu to sleep :-( It's something we have been thinking hard about for the last month and a half. Shamu had been getting worse with his diabetes, he would meow often like he was sad. Both Gwen and Shamu would throw up often and sometimes multiple times a day. They both were on medication twice a day. It was getting to the point we were asking ourselves how happy they really are :-( It has been a really sad day so far and I keep crying off and on. I have been really good so far not to cry in front of JR, she is what keeps me going. Thanks sis for coming over and helping out with JR, we love you!

The whole family...JR just 5 days old. I know it's not a great picture, but it's the only family picture I have of us all. Shamu is hiding a little, but he is there and I know you can hardly see JR, but she is there too.



Shamu would always protect JR!

Shamu again being a good sport.


For some reason JR thought Shamu needed the remote and her baby while sleeping.


Silly JR, she did all on her own! Poor Shamu, he was always just a good sport with her.


Gwen says "help"!

This was back in April 2010, Shamu's blood sugar got too low and we almost lost him. The vet saved him!

Beach time...

While some parts of the country are having snow and lots of it :-( We got to enjoy great beach weather today! The water of course is way too cold for us, but we did get our feet wet! Jaycee had a BLAST! Currently she is napping after a great day at the beach!!!

Just swingin

Can't believe how our little princess is growing so fast, she looks like a big girl in these pictures!

Having fun with Daddy!!!

First Kiss!!!

JR's goodbye kiss to Hunter....need I say more....

Kicking the leaves

I have to apologize right now, I have no idea how to turn the video around. Sorry you have to look at it sideways. Hope you enjoy the video has we have, she was doing this all afternoon at the park. Going around kicking the leaves and then would just take off running. That day after the park we went home had a good lunch and she slept well for her nap that afternoon ;-) Mommy was able to make all her phones calls and get somethings done around the casa :-)

Happy 2011 New Year!

I hope everyone had a nice, relaxing and safe New Year's! We did ~ safe in our casa with good friends! JR was sound sleeping most of the night while everyone was here, but decided right before midnight she was going to wake up and not go back to sleep. She wanted to bring in the New Year also with everyone :-) Silly little girl. Here are some pictures to enjoy! Happy 2011 everyone. We hope you are blessed with a wonderful New Year!
