Disney at Night

We went to Disneyland this afternoon with my mom. We had a good time, walked around mostly looking at all the stores. We did go on Pirates...Jonathan really seems to enjoy it. He doesn't get scared or cry or anything, just keeps looking around and pointing at all the pirates.

We had some chicken fingers for dinner followed by a healthy bowl of ice cream! :) Jonathan had milk and Sweet Potatoes and Corn. Good thing he doesn't know what ice cream is yet!

Grandma and me take a dip

I noticed how few photos I have uploaded, and how few posts have gone up this month. It was a crazy month with a couple events including Latino Family Camp this past weekend.

All went well at camp but between the normal A/V stuff and helping lead the teen classes Saturday and Sunday morning we never got much "family" time.

My mom is in town for a few days, staying with my Aunt. She is actually helping my Aunt around the house as she recently had some surgery. We decided to visit the pool on Monday, Jonathan did great.

Of course he was a bit nervous at first, but his mommy got him used to the water and before you knew what happened he was splashing around and having a good time.

Jonathan loves to wave. He often waves at complete strangers or other little kids. Here he is waving goodbye to Disneyland as we ride the tram back to the car. Of course when you ask him to wave he won't do it.....that is until you leave the room then he starts waving goodbye, silly boy.

He is sporting his CSULB "One smart cookie" shirt.

Crawling like crazy

Haven't update the site, sorry. But wanted to show you all that Jonathan really has the crawling thing down now. So much so that he doesn't like to be in his walker or be walked around by his mommy or daddy anymore. He prefers to crawl everywhere, easier and faster for him I guess.

Jonathan and Thomas

This is our next door neighbors baby, he is a week younger than Jonathan. He is a big little guy but yet next to Jonathan still looks small. They had a fun time going up and down the driveway in the little wagon. Thomas and Jonathan share the same love for empty water bottles, so when Jonathan took the bottle from Thomas I was thankful Thomas didn't have a fit. Then Jonathan decided to whack Thomas in the head with the bottle...doh! He had a "i'm about to cry" look on his face but his mom quickly picked him up and reasuured him he was fine.

We went and saw the latest Batman movie at the IMAX theater today, it was very good, especially blown up big on the IMAX screen. Most o the movie is just taking advantage of the large screen but some of it was actually shot in the IMAX format and uses the WHOLE screen and looks very cool. This was only the second movie we have seen in theaters since Jonathan was born, it is stil weird going out and doing things without him.

Blind Date

Monday, August 4, 2008

Me and PaPa Bear

Yes that is me inside a bear costume...before I explain let me say this. I am sad some days to check the blog and see no comments have been posted, I know there are at least a dozen people out there who read the blog so if you don't make a comment on this photo, I am sure you never will comment on the blog.

While up at camp we shot a video for the upcoming Latino Family camp where I am leading the teenager ministry on Saturday. When the video is completed I will be posting it on the blog. Until then lets just say that a bear goes on a blind date and hilarity comes along for the ride!

Don't mess with me I had a long night

Jonathan hasn't slept at camp since he was 1 month old, so 9 months later he is a little more aware that where he is sleeping is not home. So he had a couple long nights, waking up in the middle of the night and saying "This isn't my crib, and this isn't my room, where is my Mommy?" So he ended up sleeping the VERY EARLY morning hours between me and Edith both days.

Which was not too much fun for either of us, especially Edith. Between my snoring and Jonathan rolling around and smacking her in the face...just to make sure she was still there, it was a couple long nights.

Look what I got..cookie monster piano

Jonathan is now 10 months old. Wow, the time keeps flying by, it is hard to believe we are only two months away from him being a year old.

We went up to the Camarillo Outlet Stores on Saturday, found a great birthday present for Jonathan. It is a little 4 key piano....that is a cookie monster! Perfecto!!!

We spent Saturday night through Monday morning at camp, I am working on a couple videos for the Army so we made a family weekend adventure out of it.
