The best little ring bearer

A couple weekends ago, Wesley got to the ring bearer for his Uncle Mark's wedding.  I've been slacking on posting pictures of our new bathroom (which is 98 % done) and some other crafty projects I've been working on, but I hope these cute pictures of Wesley will hold you over.

Here we are with Wesley's cousin flower girl Violet just before the ceremony.

Fueling up with some happy juice (aka milk) to get the crankies out.

Waiting his turn to walk down the aisle.  It was the longest aisle ever and as soon as Wesley saw the people he froze!  I got him to take a few steps on his own, but daddy had to come rescue him.  Wes kept his cool though.

Once Wesley made it down the looong aisle (with daddy's help).  He was all smiles. 

A few shots of the beautiful couple.

Posing on the rocks after the ceremony.

With his Papa Dan

Here we are sleepy and exhausted from dancing the night away.

Beach Day!

We've been enjoying some great weather so Wesley and I had a mommy and me beach trip.  Wesley pretty much asks us every day to go to the beach, so I thought I would finally take him.  He loved playing in the freezing cold water and getting warm in the hot sand.  He loves the beach as much as his mommy does.  I love it.

Well hello there!

SO I've been joking the last few months that this blog has died, but today I'm bringing back to life!!!  So much has happend over the last several months and I finally feel like I'm in a good place to start posting again. 

Jeff and I have some exciting things to share with you in our personal and home improvement lives, so I felt it right to start blogging again.  I also found that I am not very productive (in a crafty way) when not held accountable by this blog.  So here I go again.

I'm gonna ease my way back to blogging with this simple post about a trip to a nearby park where Wesley got to feed some ducks! We discovered this park about five minutes from our house where you feel like you are back in nature.  Like there isnt a freeway less than a 1/2 mile away (which there is).  They have free fishing instruction for kids on sundays and piles of bread for kids (and adults) to feed the ducks and geese.  Wesley loved it!

Our big boy is now 22 months!  Wow, how did that happen.  He will be two in just 2 short months.  He is talking up a storm and throwing tantrums like a real toddler.  Here is a little video of him feeding the ducks.

For those of you in San Diego, this is at Chollas Park near the College Grove shopping center. Its not the nicest park, but I always envisioned it to be much more ghetto than it really is. They have a nice walking loop and the kids will love all the ducks!

Wesley is 17 months old!

My big boy turned 17 months old this weekend! I feel like I say this every month, but where o where did the time go. He is truly turning in to a toddler before my eyes. His vocabulary is expanding everyday and it is so nice that he can communicate with us now. He is a constant talker, all   day   long. He has started putting two words together like Hi NeeNee (Nukie), Bye Mommy. Last night he was telling everything bye bye. "Bye Bye moon" "Bye bye elcoper (helicopter)"  So cute.  He also loves to dance and sing and can't get enough of Elmo, The Fresh Beat Band, and Yo Gabba Gabba. He can now walk up and down stairs without crawling and surprised us when he jumped off the last step with two feet and stuck the landing.  Is it crazy how in awe I am of every little developmental task he accomplishes?  Welp, I am.

We were also lucky enough to take professional family pictures with my side of the family a few weeks ago and got a sneak peak of the photos this weekend as well.  Here are a few of them.  Our photographer Tira J. was awesome. Please go to her blog HERE and comment on our post.  If we get ten comments, we get a free brag book!  So go and comment and check out her work.

Happy Halloween!
