CARS!

Jacob is so into his cars these days... from the Cars Movie, to his Cars jammies and rain boots, everything is Cars! There are 2 cars in particular that he has to have now everywhere he goes. He calls them "big and little." From the moment he wakes up, he asks for them. He also remembers exactly where he left them and has to have both of them together. Auntie gave him the big one not even realizing how much he'd absolutely love it. It's actually filled with bubble bath :) And the little one was given to him tp borrow by his neighbor friend, Jonah. Here he is asleep in the car with his 2 buddies!

Cayucos

We went up to Cayucos (which is just north of San Luis Obisbo) last weekend to celebrate Matt Brown's 30th birthday. We stayed at a house by the beach and had so much fun relaxing, walking on the beach and enjoying the cute town. Everyone went wine tasting one day. I couldn't participate but had fun eating all the yummy food and enjoying the sceneryOn our way home, Paul and I stopped in Santa Barbara and had lunch on the pier. It was a beautiful day! Happy 30th Matt and thank you for a great weekend!

2 Year Pics

We had our friend, Kristy Llewellen take some pictures of Jacob a few weeks ago. I can't believe that my little baby is now 2! He's more and more fun every day!

Easter

We had a lot of fun this Easter. By far, Jacob's favorite thing to do was hunt for eggs. We did our first Easter egg hunt at church where Jacob was only supposed to collect 10 eggs. Well, this didn't happen. Once Jacob got going, he wouldn't stop. I had to take eggs out of his basket just as quick as he was putting them in. ;) Then, we dyed eggs at Bammie and Pop's house and he and Amanda went on another hunt. He kept saying "find more eggs." Sunday morning came and I asked Jacob, "Guess what we get to do today?" He responded with, "find eggs" It's so funny... it's like he thought it was just going to be an every day activity for us. LOL. He was right though. Jacob then did another Easter egg hunt with Daniel and Steve at Nana and Pap's house. Happy Easter!

Dedication

We had Jacob dedicated at Saddleback church on Saturday. We realize that Jacob is a gift from God and we wanted to be able to show a desire to see God's will be carried out in Jacob's life.

Pepperoni's

The baby announcement at Pepperoni's.

Boy or Girl?

Yesterday we went to the doctor to find out if we were having a boy or a girl. We arrived at the doctor's office at 10:30. Right when I signed in, they said, "Oh there you are." I told them that I thought my appointment was at 10:30 and they said that my ultrasound was scheduled for 10:00. I seriously almost cried. They told me to sit down and I started freaking out to Paul. "How could I have gotten the time wrong?" "What if they say I have to reschedule?" These types of questions went on and on. Paul of course was calm and said it would be alright. Alright, I thought? No, I want to find out what we're having today! Paul began to think this was funny. LOL! :) Anyways a few minutes went by which seemed like forever, when they told me that they'd fit me in. Thank God. They performed the ultrasound and told us the baby is measuring accurately and that it was healthy. Then our big question was answered... It's a BOY! Paul and I were a little shocked because we both thought it was a girl. But ultimately we're so happy that we're having another healthy boy. Also, we're excited that Jacob will get to have the close bond with a brother. We couldn't wait to tell our family and friends that night at Pepperoni's.
