Lately

April 16, 2018

My favorite moments are when these two share a laugh together. Baby Bear is the best big brother. This is him putting socks on Baby Love. <3

I think Baby Love shares my excitement for trips to Target!

Baby Love's first photo booth at the school carnival! So much fun!

Loving our baseball family. :)

Last week was an adjustment back to the regular schedule after having Brandon home for a week. I'm behind on so many things so I'm keeping it short today. <3

Lots of Smiles,

Lately - Spring Break 2018

April 9, 2018

Last week, Baby Bear had Spring Break so Brandon took time off to spend the whole week with us. :) So sad it's already over but it was so nice having him home!

I missed updating the week before Spring Break so here's just one pic from the last week of March. :) One happy Baby Love.

Easter was extra special with these two bunnies. :) It also landed on April Fool's Day so Baby Bear and I tried to prank Brandon a handful of times. He didn't really fall for any of them, bummer, haha!

We got our house fumigated so during those three days, we took a trip down to San Diego. It was our first vacation as a family of 4! So many fun memories were made.

The view from our room at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. :)

After we checked in, we headed to The New Children's Museum and made sculptures of each other. Baby Bear made a sculpture of a toilet... o_O"

My favorite installation was The Wonder Sound. It was so magical!

There was an area for Baby Love to explore too. :)

The next day, we went to the San Diego Zoo. It was a first for the boys and they all want to go back again!

The last day we were there, the boys took a scooter to the Donut Bar. On the way back, a dog charged toward them and attacked the scooter. Baby Bear jumped out of the way but poor Baby Love got bit. Brandon didn't realize it until they crossed the street and BL started scream crying. :( Thankfully, it didn't break skin but what were the chances?! >_<

Aside from the dog bite, we had so much fun. We ate at Snooze, Cafe Sevilla, Albert's (at the zoo), Puesto (you have to try their frozen horchatas!), and the Donut Bar. We'd been to San Diego a few times before but I think this trip made us love the city. Thank you friends for all the suggestions on where to go and eat! :)

The rest of the week was spent with family and cleaning house. The week flew by! Err, this year is flying by! Baby Love is 9 months old! How crazy is that? Here's to hoping the rest of April will be just as good!

Lots of Smiles,
Akiyo

Keeping Baby Love occupied during his big brother's baseball game. Note, spiky ball in mouth was not approved by me. ;)

Watch out for Rydosaurus!

His "kisses" are basically headbutts with his mouth open. Haha, my fave!

Weekends are obviously our favorites since Brandon's home but next week, he'll be here for Baby Bear's entire Spring Break so we're all so excited! :D

Lots of Smiles,
Akiyo
