Jack's First Earthquake

So, for those that haven't heard we had an earthquake today. It wasn't a big deal, but it was Jack's first and he wouldn't have experienced it in Utah! ;) I put all that CERT training to good use (not really

L
.OL). (that was courtesy of Jack)...

Videos of Jack:

Jack trying to stand up in his crib (when he sees the camera he usually just stares at it, so that's why he stopped when he saw me with the camera in my hand):

Daddy (and Mommy!) making Jack laugh...

Memory Lane...

Kat left this on her blog and it looks like fun! I saw this on some of my other friend's blogs, but I never got around to it.

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew/know me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.Have FUN!

Jack is 8 months today!

Jack is 8 months today! It never seizes to amaze me, when he's another month old, how fast time really does fly. It seems like just yesterday I was in the hospital worried I was going to give birth 6 weeks too early. I know he's not 18 years old and I'm not reflecting on his high school graduation, but at the rate time flies, that will be here before I know it! Knowing how fast he's growing just makes us treasure these times with him.

I have some pictures of him that were taken within the last week.

Blog Formatting Change

For a while I've been contemplating whether or not I'd turn this blog of Jack's into a family blog. I had a blog once upon a time, but thought no one cared about what I had to say. Then we had Jack and figured people would care about what he was up to when we were living in Utah. Now that we're back in So. Cal. I've kept the blog so our friends in Utah can see Jack grow up, still figuring no one cares about what I had to say. I have had a couple of requests that I post what Jack's "mommy and daddy" are up to, so it got me thinking to make this into a family blog and that's what I'm doing. For now I'm keeping the URL the same, but I'll post it here if I decide to change it in the future.

Thanks for reading! I'll post pics of Jack this week (hopefully tomorrow).

Mommy's been "tagged"!

My Mommy's been tagged by SarahAnne, so I'm going to let her answer her questions on my blog.


So, here are my answers to these few questions!

Where were you 10 years ago? 10 years ago I was 21 and having a blast going out with friends and just enjoying being young. I was working part-time at the YMCA in child care accounting (not the most exciting job I've ever had!). Literally 10 years ago I was probably in Vegas!

Five things on today's to-do list?

1. Take a shower

2. Go to work

3. Work on the few projects I have to complete at work.

4. Cook dinner

5. Bathe Jack

A snack I enjoy: Healthy - baby carrots. Unhealthy snacks are chips and dip (preferrably onion dip) or chips and salsa.

Things I would do if I were a millionaire: Buy a house, buy new car and invest the rest. Depending on how much of a millionaire I am, I'd quit working and travel.

Places I have lived: I've lived in Southern California and Northern Utah for 3 years, now back to Southern California.

I tag Kim and Katrina.

Things are just getting more and more interesting around here!

Ha ha! Just kidding. (Or at least Mommy and Daddy don't think it's very interesting or funny).

The other day Mommy's car broke. Her car started overheating on the way home from work. She says that's not good in the middle of summer and stuck in traffic driving through some not-so-great parts of Los Angeles! All is well because Daddy fixed it today! What a guy! Only to then find out that one of her very, very new tires had a nail in it. So they rushed down to Sam's Club to get it fixed. Got there just in time before they closed and everything is fixed. For now.

I'm getting a tooth. Really not as fun and interesting as people make it seem. It hurts! But when I get them all I can eat big people food!

Oh and last weekend I got a "Johnny Jump Up." That's so much fun! I love jumping! I have pictures of me jumping in it, but it's on Mommy's camera still.

I'm getting closer to crawling, but still nothing yet! Soon though. I'll keep you all posted.

That's all for now!

4th of July weekend!

We had a fun weekend! It was my first 4th of July, and while we didn't go anywhere, we stayed home and spent the weekend with our family. My Auntie Kim got a pool for us to swim in, so we all spent the weekend outside in the pool. What fun!! I love the water. Here are some pics of my weekend.

Me and my cousin Sierra. She's showing off my muscles!


Here's me and my new toys. Nana and Auntie Kim bought me them. They are Tonka Wheel Pals and I just love them.

Me and Daddy outside watching the fireworks! They were pretty. Because we live on a little hill and on the bluff, we got to see all the fireworks to the east of us. We saw 2 hours worth of different firework shows! It was so fun!

Here I am today playing with my new toys. Mommy was hoping I'd start crawling. I guess I showed her!

Mommy put me on the floor to practice crawling, but when she looked at me, here I was wrapping myself in the blanket. I'm so funny!

An Exciting Summer Planned!!!

Mommy and Daddy just made us reservations for a fun vacation this summer! We're going to...wait for it...



HAWAII!!!

That's right, we're going to spend a week on the Big Island of Hawaii in Kona. We're so excited! Mommy's the most excited. I don't really know what to expect. I do get to go on my first airplane ride (because let's face it, my arms are too tiny to swim the whole way!).
