Well Hello Santa!

Brady did so good with his first visit with Santa!

The Tradition continues. . .

For the past few years we've been going up to Frosty's Tree Farm in the Santa Cruz mountains to cut down our tree with the Rhinehart Family. The Herzog clan joined us as well and somehow managed to escape my camera! There is always next year!


I may be frozen Mama, but this is FUN!



The Rhineharts


This was the winner and what was so funny is that it was right on the edge of the main road. Jeff was happy about not having to carry it down the hill.


We took a little walk up to the Carol of Lights festival in Downtown Campbell and Brady really enjoyed looking at all the lights and people walking around.






He's just too cute!

Hello December!

We had originally planned on having Brady's pictures taken professionally for our Xmas card this year but he was having no part of that. So that same day I took it upon myself to set up my own photo shoot out on the front lawn. I dug out the Christmas tree skirt and away I went. I got some of the best pictures and as most of you have seen our card came out super cute! With that said I thought I'd share some of the funny outtakes!






Here we are with Miss Kylan enjoying some play time as the parents enjoyed some play time of their own!




A random funny face!

November Madness

We celebrated Thanksgiving in Auburn with Mumzie and Popsicle and about 20 other relatives! Brady got to meet his Great Grandparents Gockie and Grandpops which was quite exciting.








Here we have 4 generations. The Great Uncle Joe, Popsicle, Uncle Adam and Brady


This is one of my favorite pictures of all time!


We were all having a great time including Nero!

Happy 1/2 Birthday!

This was a very sad day for me, not because my little boy is growing up so quick but because he has decided that these monthly pictures just aren't his cup of tea! Now that he's rolling all over and able to sit up on his own he has no interest in being restrained even if it's just for a quick picture. These photos show the battle between mom and son for that perfect picture. At the end of the day Mom won but only with Dad's help!




Well this is fun and crunchy, wonder why she keeps taking it away and fixing it? It's much better smashed up.





Ok Mom, you want the picture here is my happy face.






















Ok Mama, you win!

Enough with the hats Mama...

I just can't help myself, he's just too adorable for words!

October Cuteness!

Well October has come and gone and well November is just about out the door as well. However, I wouldn't be a good Mom if I didn't post how cute he looked on Halloween! We were really lucky to have gotten to spend some quality time with the Rego family and as you can see Brady had a great time with Gavin and Emma!








We also had a really nice dinner at Outback Steakhouse to celebrate Great Grandma Ledesma's birthday! Brady even got dressed up in his finest for the occasion, I mean really how cute is he!?!?

What. . .5 Months already?!?

It's Pumpkin Patch Time!

We had such a great time picking out pumpkins! Next year will be even better with both Aiden and Brady running around. Aiden loved every minute of it!


This one is mine!



Wonder if they can see me?


There are just too many to choose from Daddy!


Auntie Teresa Ann and Monkey!


But Auntie can I take them all home?!?


You lookin at me?

Demon Llama

Not all days are rainbows and butterflies with Brady! Every now and then we now encounter the Demon Llama or so I've named him!
It's pretty funny how pissed he is until he realizes I've got the camera on him and then he's like "what Mama I'm just lying here!"

New Food and Super Cuteness

Since our adventures with rice cereal and the fact that Brady absolutely hated it we've moved on to more tasty treats! Overall he's enjoyed everything (sweet potatos, pears, peaches, green beans and carrots) however that being said, below is his reaction to PEAS which was his very first "solid" food!


Hmmm.. .this is new Mama.




Um, not quite sure.








What the heck. . that stuff is NASTY!











I make funny faces!



















and make you smile!

Big Adventures

After our 4 month appointment the doctor gave us the go ahead to try out some rice cereal. Here is the first spoonfuls and as you can see he's not a super fan. That being said I tasted it and would have made a much worse face than him, man that stuff is gross!










It wasn't until Auntie Teresa and Auntie Aura said that mixing the rice cereal with some juice would make it taste somewhat edible. The good thing was Brady was a sport about it and was willing to give it another go.


Ok Mama, I'll try again only because I have a super cool new chair!!


Hmm. . .this isn't so bad after all!



Thank you for saving me Peter, this is MUCH better!


Caged Monkey!!
