My Sick Topless Boy

Baby Paul has been running a fever the last few days. He has been drooling a lot and does not show any other signs of a cold or flu so we are wondering if it is due to molars coming in. He seems to do okay during the morning/afternoon but wakes up in the middle of the night with a high fever. Hopefully, he will be feeling better soon. In the meantime, he is really enjoying being topless.

I love Eddie

I'm really loving Eddie these days. For those that are confused, I am talking about Eddie, the park. It is so peaceful and quiet. We usually have the park to ourselves. Here are some photos of our outing to the park the other day.

Paul is way into pointing at things right now. Here he is pointing at a squirrel.

Fun times on the swings.

This is how Paul plays peek-a-boo. Sometimes he covers his eyes but mostly the side of his head.

Belated Bash

We had a belated birthday bash for Baby Paul today with our play group friends. Thanks for all those that came to celebrate with us.

Disneyland Fun

We took a day trip to Disneyland yesterday. This is one of the perks of living in Southern California.

Galaxy Game One

Paul is a huge soccer fan and as a result bought season tickets to the Galaxy. We went to the first game a couple of nights ago. We had a great time and Baby Paul actually sat still for most of the game. It was really visually stimulating for him and he also enjoyed all the crazy fans that sat near us. I'm not going to lie, I enjoyed watching Beckam run up and down the field.

We got to take home some balloons.

Welcome to Miami

My husband, Paul, and I spent last weekend in Miami, Florida. Paul's company flew out the top 2 percent of the company to Miami for an all paid vacation. Paul was one of two Area Sales Managers to receive this "CitiStar" Award. Unfortunately, children were not allowed on this trip and we had to leave Baby Paul with his grandparents in St. George. It was the first time we left him overnight and it was incredibly hard for us to be away from him. However, I think he had a really fun time with his grandma and grandpa.

Overall, the trip to Miami was really fun. It started with a few hiccups. First, Paul's luggage did not make it on our flight. It was delayed in Dallas and did not arrive until the next afternoon. Due to his luggage being delayed we did not make it to the first couple of activities since Paul did not have business attire. The next few days consisted of shopping, dining, snorkeling and laying out by the pool. It was a nice relaxing time.

Congratulations Paul!!!

Another birthday weekend

We had another birthday weekend but this time it was for the other Paul. Baby Paul turned one on March 29th. His cousin, Annie, turned one on March 23rd so we decided to celebrate the birthdays together in Salt Lake. We also celebrated Aunt Emily's birthday and Easter all in the same weekend.

The birthday weekend started with a visit to the local Farm Store where we visited with some baby chicks, ducks and bunnies.

All the cousins.

Paul loves baths but he really loves baths with Annie.



We put together an Easter egg hunt for all the kids. Paul and Annie were not too interested in getting the eggs. As you can see from the picture below, there is a yellow and a purple egg really close to Paul but he chooses to play in the dirt instead.

He did find one egg that he tried to eat.

Sam only collected the green eggs (and ham) while Brooklyn only got the pink and purple ones. So at the end of the hunt all the orange eggs were still out there because no one wanted them.

I love my mom.

We also made some bunnies out of socks. Here is a picture of me with the bunny I made. I don't mean to brag but it was pretty dang cute.

Here are some pictures of the birthday bash. Paul and Annie got their own little cakes. Annie was so tired that she barely touched hers. Paul, on the other hand, massaged and mutilated his cake. He kept throwing pieces of cake on Annie's tray. Then he took a taste of the cake and realized it tasted really good and then took the cake back from Annie's tray. This kid is a real character.


Please enjoy a short clip with Paul and his cake.
