memorial day weekend part 3

on monday, we bbq'd again (thanks caveney) and we walked around the lake together.  overall, it was a busy yet fantastic weekend, spending time with loved ones.

memorial day weekend part 2 - the zoo

on sunday, we (chris, me, logan, chris, amanda, nate, and emily) bravely ventured down to the san diego zoo.  the highly anticipated elephant odessey was opening and we wanted to check it out.  the parking lot was packed but we luckily stumbled upon a parking lot down the street with a shuttle to the zoo.  who knew?  the zoo itself wasn't too bad really.  we all had a great time!  we had dinner at sammy's (my absolute favorite).  it was logan's first time there!  woohoo!

memorial day weekend part 1 - swimming and movie night

last weekend was a busy one.  on saturday, logan played in his new pool.  he wasn't a big fan initially so i had to go in with him.  he gripped onto me so tight but soon was happy to play in the water with his toys.  the water was freezing!  that night we fired up the bbq at chris and amanda's (thanks uncle pat) and had movie night.  it was chris cory's pick.  next week is mine!  there were 2 supermen in attendance.  so cute!

here are the photos from part 1 of our fantastic weekend!

my baby is 10 months old today

mother's day

i haven't gotten a chance yet to post about my very first mother's day.  it was wonderful!  chris, logan, oreo, and i hung out at home and enjoyed the slow pace of the morning.  chris let me sleep in while he took care of logan.  then i awoke to gifts and two beautiful bouquets of flowers from chris and logan and oreo.  logan enjoyed trying to help me rip the wrapping paper when i opened the gifts.  after we got ready for the day, we headed to the mall to check out the new outside shops.  it is really nice.  i wanted to spend time just browsing and looking for some much needed spring clothes.  i lucked out at ann taylor (thank you birthday gift cards from december).  we finished off the day by eating at cpk.  mmm.  it was a great day spent with my favorite fellas!  thanks everyone for the mother's day wishes!
logan and oreo got me a snuggie  :)
(this will come in handy at auntie's for movie nights)
"let's try it mom!"
chris got me a much need garden set for my new garden
