Jeremy is the real Cookie Monster!!!

First Trip to Disneyland

2009-10-22T21:29:00.000-07:00

Thanks to Uncle Aaron, Jeremy and Luke got their first taste of Disneyland. We even splurged and stayed at the Disneyland Hotel!!! Since we went in mid October the whole place was decorated for Halloween.

We got to see Minnie and she let us look around in her house.

Following Minnie's house we got to see Mickey in his house.

The next day we saw Mickey on the street and Jeremy felt like he needed to grab his nose. I tried to stop him at the same time they snapped this picture.

Luke didn't get to go on any rides other then It's a Small World but he liked riding in the stroller just the same.

Luke is eating real food!!!

2009-09-22T13:48:00.000-07:00

Luke started eating real food!!! Here he is with sweet potatoes all over his face.

Church Campout at San Anatonio Lake

2009-09-18T13:33:00.000-07:00

On Sept. 18th the Costello clan and Us went up to San Antonio Lake for the church campout. We had a good time boating, hanging out with friends, and playing gin rummy at night.

Patio is all done!!!

2009-09-13T13:58:00.000-07:00

The back yard project has been a slow one so far. We broke down and hired some help to get the patio finished. Three hired hands and I installed 8 yards of DG base material, 1 yard of plaster sand, and 700 square feet of pavers in 7 hours. It was an exhausting day but well worth it!

Bass O Lake

2009-08-26T11:06:00.000-07:00

This past weekend Luke got to experience Bass Lake for the first time. He really likes the water just like Jeremy does.

We were joined later by the Costellos and Grandma and Papa.

Jeremy got to try out the DVD system in the new car on the way home. The headphones are nice so Mommy and Daddy can listen to the radio and not the movie!!!

10 Year Anniversary

2009-08-26T11:01:00.000-07:00

Heather and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary on July 31st. We split the kids up with Auntie Holly and Grandma then went out for a nice dinner. It sure is weird eating dinner without the little ones.

Journey and Heart Concert

2009-08-26T10:44:00.000-07:00

On July 23rd Bill, Holly, Heather, and I all went up to the Mid State Fair to see Heart and Journey in concert. The weather was perfect. We sure had a good time. This was the first time Heather and I left both kids with Grandma and Papa and all four of them survived!!!

Luke is rolling over!

2009-08-26T10:29:00.000-07:00

Luke starting rolling over about a month ago. We caught him on video one of the first times he made it all of the way over. As you can see, he gets a little frustrated with the whole process.

Of course this was a month ago so now he rolls over so much faster.

Video of Jeremy going down the slide

2009-06-25T07:58:00.000-07:00

As you can see in this video, the playground set is up but I had not finished everything around it at the time. Since this video was taken, we have added some wood bark in the landing area. It is not quite as a dramatic landing anymore.

Luke is Here!!!

2009-05-08T10:01:00.000-07:00

Luke is here!!! Althought he was born on April 7th, 2009, this is a picture of him on the day he turned a month old (yesturday). It is hard to believe he is a month old already!!!

Anyway, he was born at 7:57pm on the 7th about 45 minutes after we arrived at the hospital in San Luis Obispo. Little Luke just didn't want to be in there any longer. Because of the short delivery Heather and Luke weren't actually admitted into the hospital (paperwork) until after he was born. Dr. Monroy arrived just in time to make the catch.

Jeremy is the best big brother. He wants to share his toys, hold him, and give Luke kisses all the time. I guess we should enjoy it now because I am sure they won't always get along. Heather is doing well, she is such a good mother and has adapted to having two like a pro.

Jeremy is in the Sink!!!

2008-09-16T16:09:00.000-07:00

Heather took this picture of Jeremy in the bathroom sink a couple of weeks ago. Such a cute picture I couldn't keep it to myself!

Aaron and Marsha get Married!!!

2008-09-15T16:20:00.000-07:00

Jeremy's Uncle Aaron and new Aunt Marsha got married on August 8th, 2008. We are so happy for them both and welcome Marsha to the family!

Water skiing in Kerman

2008-09-15T16:08:00.000-07:00

We went out to Kerman again for our water ski tournament in August. This year Diane and her sister Carol joined us for a nice relaxing weekend. Jeremy sure enjoys the water. I'm sure he will be skiing within a couple of years.

1st Haircut

2008-09-15T15:55:00.000-07:00

Jeremy got his first haircut on July 31st by Heather's stylist Colleen.

He did pretty well through the whole thing!!!

Jeremy is Walking

2008-09-10T15:45:00.000-07:00

As most of you know, Jeremy is walking now. We just pulled out the camera a got some video of him walking on Monday. We also have some shots of his first steps but those seem pretty boring now. Anyway, enjoy.

Bass Lake Vacation

2008-07-16T08:49:00.000-07:00

We spent a long weekend at Bass Lake over the 4th of July holiday. We had a great time, the weather was perfect, and the friends were plentiful. Here are a few pics from the trip:

Jeremy enjoyed his first real fireworks show. As soon as it was over and we got underway in the boat he was sound asleep in Heather's arms. He also really enjoyed feeding the ducks!!!

Jeremy gets his cast off

2008-07-16T08:30:00.000-07:00

On June 18th Jeremy got his cast taken off. He really didn't like the cutting tool they used to get his cast off. He was a lot happier once they put the cutter away and his leg was free again!!!

Jeremy's 1st birthday party

2008-06-10T15:26:00.000-07:00

Jeremy got his first taste of birthday cake.

He really likes all the presents he got!!! Here are some pictures of his friends that helped him celebrate:

Crawling with a Cast on His Leg

2008-05-23T15:50:00.000-07:00

As you can see from this video clip, Jeremy is getting around okay. As much as he bangs that cast on things, I seriously doubt his leg is hurting him what so ever.

Our first real accident

2008-05-20T13:35:00.000-07:00

Heather and Jeremy had a little accident yesterday at home on the stairs. Heather slipped, fell backwards, and landed on her back side. Well, Jeremy's leg happened to be under her when she landed. Heather is okay other then a two small cuts on her hand but Jeremy has suffered a broken leg.

After getting an x-ray at Urgent Care we were referred to a Pediatric Orthopedic doctor in Santa Barbara. They were able to see him in the afternoon and now Jeremy is the proud owner of a big blue cast. The Doctor said we should expect a full recovery. They expect to take the cast off in four weeks if the x-ray looks good at that point.The Doctor also said he shouldn't be experiencing any pain and didn't even give us a prescription for any medicine!!!

After spending the night with it, the worst part for Jeremy is the awkwardness and it is hard for him to sleep in the positions he normally sleeps in. After only a few hours he had already started crawling with it on. It will take a little time for the little guy to figure things out.

Weekend at the lake

2008-05-20T13:22:00.001-07:00

We had a good time at the lake this past weekend for the Far West Water Ski Club's May tournament. It sure was hot though, over 100 deg. both Sat. and Sun. Unfortunately the AC unit in the camper went on vacation when we got there. The good news is our good friends Brian and Vannessa Woods were so gracious to let us stay at their place on a moments notice. We owe you guys big time for this!!! Here a couple of pics from the lake:

2008-05-14T15:21:00.000-07:00

Jeremy had his first swim class. He sure likes to splash!!!

2008-05-09T16:01:00.000-07:00

Jeremy had a good time looking for Easter eggs on his very first Easter Egg hunt!!

He also liked opening his Easter basket. Daddy enjoyed eating all the candy too!!!

2008-05-07T14:31:00.000-07:00

Here is a shot of Jeremy walking with the walker.

You can't watch this without smiling
