February 2010

We took Lily to Laguna Beach, one of Mommy and Daddy's favorite places to visit, where there are little tide pools. She was a little too wobbly to navigate the slippery rocks so we stayed on the sand. We looked at birds, rocks, and the waves.

December 2009

We have definitely been blessed this year with family, friends, love and happiness. It has been joy to watch Lily grow. We love every minute and can't wait to see what's next.

We went up to the mountains on Christmas. We played in the snow. Lily loved it!

So did daddy!

A few days after Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa Jarman's house. We ate and opened presents.

Christmas Eve at our house. Grandma and Grandpa Gonzalez came over to eat and open presents.

Disneyland

We took Lily to Disneyland for her first time. She loved the Christmas Parade. She was waving at everyone, laughing and clapping with joy! We took her on Small World, Roger Rabbit, Pinnochio, the Carousel and the Nemo Submarine. We would have gone on more, but it was a chilly night and I had a cold that was getting worse. I wasn't going to miss Disneyland just because of a little cold. Special Thanks to Kariane for giving us the opportunity to enjoy Disneyland and for the holidays too!!!

November 2009

We've had a busy last few weeks.
We took Lily trick-or-treating to a few houses on the street. She had her first birthday, which she celebrated with Mommy and Daddy then had her party on the weekend.
She received a lot of clothes, baby dolls, a playground, wagon, and big teddy bear.

Daddy celebrated a birthday also. We just stayed home as a family. We were going to go to Disneyland, but Mommy and Lily were feeling under the weather. Too much excitement that we crashed on the big teddy bear. We've still got

the holidays coming up...can't wait.

October 2009

My sisters, nieces, nephew and parents went with us to our town's fall festival. We fed the animals in the petting zoo, we took a hay ride, pulled by a gigantic tractor. We launched corn, played games, watched the costume contests got a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch. It was fun, but a hot 90 degrees. Lily started walking in August and said her first few words in September. She says "woof" whenever we talk about the dog or any dog. She says "daddy". And she can say "ball". She has been on quite a few auditions this summer and fall. She completed a Disney print ad so watch out for her picture on the back of toy packages and possibly a banner at Disneyland. Recently she has auditioned for a tv show on Discovery Health and for Gap. Bo and I attended a baseball fundraiser for our nephew Cole. It was a Halloween Party. Bo dressed up as Santa and I was Amy Winehouse. We are gearing up for the upcoming holidays and Lily's first birthday! Can't Wait!!!

July visit to Utah

This summer, My sisters Amy, Keri and I drove to Utah to visit my sister Julie and her family. Amy brought her kids, Cole and Emma, and Keri brought her daughter Gwen. Our hubbies stayed home for work, and Keri's boys were at Scout Camp. We drove 10 hours split in 2 days. We stayed in Mesquite to break up the trip for the babies. When we got to Utah we did a lot of things. We played at the park, played on the slip n slide, went hiking up to a waterfall, went to the Gateway in Salt Lake, which is an outdoor mall with a water feature that kids play in. We went to a bird aviary and ate homemade ice cream. Most importantly the kids got to play with their cousins. It was a lot of fun!

August 2009

The summer has flown by and Lori is not looking forward to going back to teaching. She wish she could stay home with Lily. She has grown so much. She went from crawling, to pulling herself up to cruising to standing up by herself to now taking 2 steps. She wants to walk like mommy and daddy. This month we went to Daddy's Work picnic at Knotts Berry Farm. The food was good, fried chicken, ribs, hamburgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob, ice cream, yum! That same day, Lori's high school friend got married. We went the the lavish wedding at the LAX Hilton. What a long day that was. Here are some photos from the wedding. Cool wedding idea: photobooth for the guests...that spit out 2 copies, one to scrapbook for the bride and groom and 1 for the guests to keep. LOVE IT!
