A Long Labor Day Weekend

Boy oh boy this was a long and eventful weekend!
On Friday morning we went to La Jolla Cove with Anneke and acted like tourists. It was absolutely gorgeous and we felt lucky to live in such a beautiful city.
Brixton was asleep the whole time but we took a picture with him anyhow.
You can barely make out his tiny face in the stroller!
Tzaddi and Brixton were super pooped by the time we got home!

We went to Delia and Nick's house on Saturday so that Anneke could meet Lucy and check out their house.
This is the stroller we got Lucy for her birthday...we put Brixton in it and Lucy got to push him around like he was her little doll!
Sorry for the sideways video...just turn your head to the side - it's worth the neck kink!

After hanging out at Hacienda Hughes, we all went back to our house for a small barbeque. Mershad came over to visit with Anneke since he hadn't seen her for TEN years!
At one point, Lucy followed me into the bathroom. I asked her if she needed to go potty and she said YES! I put her on and she pretended to go...but nothing came out. She got an A for effort and it'll just be a matter of time before she's peeing in the potty!
We had a relaxing Sunday morning hanging around the house. Tzaddi took Anneke to the cemetery to visit Rowan and I stayed home with Brixton. Afterwards, we went to Carleen's house to celebrate Bryan's 50th birthday. After visiting with everyone at the party, we went to Saffron for dinner and then had yummy gelato from Gelato Vero Caffe.
Hanging out at Saffron


I woke up bright and early Monday morning so I could go out to breakfast with my Mom & Delia to celebrate my Mom's 62nd birthday. Tzaddi, Anneke, Brixton and Carleen took another touristy drive so that Anneke could take more pictures of her on the beach.
We took Anneke to the airport in the afternoon so she could fly back to Portland. We had a wonderful time visiting with her and Brixton loved getting to know his Oma.

After we took Anneke to the airport, we went to my Mom's house for a yummy steak dinner. Darian, Kelly and Kaiya, Erik and Mershad were some unusual suspects who were there to wish Mom a Happy Birthday. We had a great time and I'm pretty sure Mom had a great birthday!

    hey fancy blogger, you should try not to put your high resolution images on there, just because i dont want some perv using my daughters potty time for his/her pleasure. I'm considered as "paranoid" in our circle, so you can do whatever you want. Just an idea.

Lucy Turns Three!

Image
We went to a baby shower and they had a bouncy house for all the kids. There weren't that many kids using it though, so Lily was nice enough to take Brixton in there for his first time. He LOVED it! I know, I know...Brixton isn't wearing any pants. It was SUPER hot and he was wearing jeans so I just decided to take them off. A bit trashy, but we were around family ;) The next day, we had Lucy's birthday party at Hacienda Hughes. It was a pirate theme, and true to form, Dad had to create something EXTRAVAGANT for the kids to enjoy. So he drew a giant cardboard cutout of a pirate...complete with a 3D bird and doubloons! Kaiya and Delia A very fun potato sack race! Pinata time! Here's Lucy enjoying her loot while she waits patiently to open her presents...I think Brixton is wondering where his candy is! Look at the plane! Brixton was very happy to sneak some of Fisher's blueberries! A potato sack race just for Lucy and Brixton! Delia is attempting to make a &quo

Saturday Morning Sweetness

Image
On Saturday morning, Tzaddi went to play disc golf for the first time in 3 months and Brixton and I stayed home. Brixton was in such a good mood and he was so chatty! Of course, this is his usual expression...I think he frowns on purpose so that I'll smile at him and then he can smile back! Pixel has become increasingly interested in Brixton. She likes to see just how close she can get before we yell at her. She also really likes trying to lick his face without us knowing. Luckily, I caught it on camera! Although Brixton doesn't look too upset, does he? Now, this is a rather lengthy video and you have to listen to my horrible singing but I promise you it's worth it! We were listening to B is for Bob and Brixton enjoyed the impromptu live concert.

Happy Birthday, Tzaddi!

Image
We went to Shakespeare Pub & Grille for Tzaddi's birthday lunch on Saturday. Yes, folks...Tzaddi turned 32 - can you believe it??? I know this picture isn't great because of the sun, but it gives you an idea of how beautiful it was! At least I made up for it with this one: Mom and Dad came over in the evening to give Tzaddi a birthday present. Brixton wasn't too interested, though - I think he got too spoiled at Christmas! Lucy likes playing with all of Brixton's toys and doesn't mind sharing...sometimes! Where does she think she's going with his toy??? She doesn't look guilty at all! Mom offered to watch Brixton and Lucy so we could go out to dinner. I don't think they look too upset... Here we are at Shogun's . They gave Tzaddi a birthday hat and made him do a dance before he could eat his free (and awful) vanilla ice cream. We thought he was being ungrateful when he said the ice cream was bad (I mean, seriously, how can you screw up ice c
