Baby Baby!!!

That's right, I will be 13 weeks pregnant on Friday!!!  If you could see me now, there's no hiding the fact that I'm pregnant.  :)  We had an ultrasound on Tuesday, and everything is looking good so far.  The ultrasound technician predicted that we are having a girl, but it's still pretty early to tell so we (I) will refrain from buying everything pink in the stores until it is confirmed at our 18 week appointment.  Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.  Even though it is rare that this baby would have Potter's Syndrome, like our Xavier had, the chance is still there and always in the back of our minds.  That will be determined at our next ultrasound as well.  For now we are excited, staying as positive as we can possibly be, and hoping and praying that everything will be okay.  

Happy Father's Day and Happy Anniversary!

This year our anniversary and Father's Day was on the same day so we had a double celebration!  We have a tradition of always going to The Cheesecake Factory on our anniversary.  

Last year we drove down to San Diego and went to all our favorite spots from college.  This picture is at the Hotel Del Coronado which is where we got engaged.  It was a fun walk down memory lane and I always love going to San Diego.

This is our second anniversary, back when we were still good about getting pictures taken together, now it's usually one of us with Jaxon or just Jaxon.  :)  We just need to get better about asking people to take family photos of us.  We are missing our fouth year and our third year pictures because our fourth year we were in the middle of our lunch at Cheesecake of course when we got a call that someone wanted to show our house so we had to hurry home to do some last minute cleaning!  Our third year we were apart while Jason was starting his summer associate job at Sheppard Mullin and I had to finish out teaching the school year up in Washington.  Don't worry we were reunited a few days later.

This is our first anniversary.  We had just moved into our house in WA and my parents brought us this anniversary rose to celebrate.  Don't you love the huge pink platforms? 

My mom sent us this pic she took and is going to have it framed for us.  Cute idea!

Happy Father's Day!!!

Last year, love the matching shirts!

Jason's first Father's Day... makes me miss our house in WA.  Since our last post we have gone to Seattle and Friday Harbor and had a lot of adventures here too so hopefully I can get caught up with the blog soon.

Construction Update

The house that started out a few months ago as an empty lot is quickly becoming a three story monster!  It looks like it will be very nice with a great ocean view.  We can see it from our patio and now that the workers are always up on the roof hammering away, Jaxon got the idea that he needs to be up on the roof of his playhouse hammering away too!  

He figured out how to climb up there by himself, and is usually very careful, but if he fall it will be onto the concrete patio.  Hopefully this fascination will pass soon.

He still loves to go to the driving range, and is getting pretty good at hitting the ball.  

Here is my new haircut, it's pretty short, but if it's long enough to put it in a ponytail that's all I will ever do.  I need some motivation to use my new dryer and flat iron!  

He told us he was driving to go get a chocolate milkshake.

He is wearing his new Lightning McQueen shirt from Jason's Aunt Debi, he loves it, and when we were leaving the driving range he was chasing Jason and saying, "I'm gonna get you, I can go fast, fast, fast in my McQueen shirt!"

One of our favorite things to do on the weekend is ride our bikes down to the Wedge.  It's about a mile down the boardwalk from our house and has amazing waves!  Jaxon loves to climb on the rocks and look at the boats passing through.

There was quite a crowd of people watching the waves and the people riding them.

I guess it's hard to tell in these pictures, but they were HUGE waves and they are a lot of fun to watch!

As we were leaving we noticed that there was a wedding taking place on the sand next to us, I didn't take any pictures to be nice, but for some reason Jaxon started shouting, "It's MY DAY today, it's MY DAY!" just as we were walking by.  It was pretty funny, I have no idea what he was talking about but I could imagine some brides saying that!  :)

Loves riding his bike and getting chased by his daddy!

Yesterday we went to Disneyland, it was super crowded, you can tell summer is here!  We still got to go on lots of rides though.  We only have a few more weeks till we are blacked out for part of the summer, so we (Jaxon) have to get our fill!

Goofing around in Goofy's Playhouse

Teacups, my camera ran out of batteries on this pic! When we got home he was fine for a few hours and then was acting really tired so I checked and he did have a little fever.  After I literally forced some tylenol down his throat, he went to bed at 7:00 and didn't wake up till 11:00 this morning.  I know it seems like I could have had a nice relaxing morning to myself, but I was so worried about him that I couldn't sit still and had to keep checking on him.  He was sent to the Emergency Room by his doctor in October after a high fever that lasted a few days and it was one of the worst days of my life.  It's also the reason he will not take any medication, because so much was forced on him that day, not to mention all the non-stop tests, IV's, X-rays, etc...  Anyway, when he woke up he was still acting pretty tired, but after drinking some juice and eating some Kix, he perked up and seemed almost back to normal by naptime.  I was so relieved that he was drinking and eating because he didn't want anything after about 4:00 yesterday.  So, hopefully when he wakes up he will be back to his normal, fun-loving, adorable self. (BTW, in October he ended up having bronchitis and was severely dehydrated from the fever)

In Our Spare Time...

Wait... maybe we haven't really had too much spare time lately!  But we have had a lot of fun!  Last week my cousin Matt came to visit.  He quickly became Jaxon's best friend, whether he liked it or not.  :)  

After a nice trip to walk around Balboa Island (and go to Starbucks of course, which they really need on this side of the peninsula, I might start a petition or something!) Jaxon convinced Matt to go on the ferris wheel with him and play with him at the Fun Zone.

At the playground Matt helped Jaxon shoot some hoops.  At 6'9" it was no problem for him!  By the way, I am by far the shortest person in my entire family.  Aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, parents, everyone.  My mom has 7 brothers and 1 sister and my dad has 5 sisters.  With almost all of them having multiple children, this adds up to a lot of family to look up to!

Of course we had to go to Ruby's on the pier for lunch.  

Jaxon and his customary chocolate milkshake.  Matt and I got milkshakes too so he wouldn't feel left out.  :)  I got a orange creamsicle one that was sooooo good!  Jaxon was on his best behavior for lunch that day, but I think I spoke too soon about him being restaurant-friendly.  We went to lunch with my friend Christina today and he had a hard time sitting still to put it gently.  Her daughter was perfect and so cute by the way.  

This "spiderweb" really makes me nervous, but he loves to climb it and has almost gone to the top before.  Of course, he still needs a spotter!  

In the meantime, our beach house got painted!  It was this same color before but had faded a little.  We live in the downstairs and the owners use the upstairs as their vacation home and sometimes rent it out by the week in the summer.  

After Matt left, we had to do something to lift Jaxon's sprits (he cried hard after we took him to the airport) so we went to Disneyland and had a fun time with friends.

This weekend we took Jaxon to see UP.  It was really cute, but any excuse to go to a movie and eat popcorn and licorice until you feel sick, I am there. So is Jason!

Beautiful flowers from Jake, Alethia and Lilly.  Thanks you guys, we love them!

After our failed attempt at lunch today, Jaxon and I went to walk around a little more.  What started off as throwing pennies into the fountain, quickly turned in to a total body and clothes soaking experience!  

He had a lot of fun though and we had an extra change of clothes, so all was good!
