Main & Promenade Park...

One of Matthew's favorite parks is the park on Main & Promenade. I know it has a name, I'm just not sure what it is. He always asks me..."Go to park and ride on turtles".

Matthew's Balloon Obsession Continues...

Matthew's balloon obsession continues. In fact, we literally cannot escape any grocery store/situation without one. The other day at Albertsons, I could not escape without a huge, near life-size cow balloon. I am not sure why he was so drawn to this balloon, but he was. And, I am the sucker that had to get it. I'd rather suck it up and have a life-size cow balloon tied to my cart, then to have to leave the store mid-shop, because shopping without a balloon is just not as fun!

Proud!

Nothing like some cheeze-its to weigh down a balloon

A Kiss for Douglas...

I have to write things down when they happen, otherwise I will forget them.

My mom asked Matthew the other day, what the baby's name is, he instantly replied, "Douglas". We are not sure where he came up with such a name. But, I am guessing it has to do with one of the train characters on "Thomas the Train".

So, now, everytime he sees my shirt up, he asks me if he can give Doulgas a kiss. He also talks to Douglas a lot, which is so precious. I need to record it on video. He tells the baby..."Douglas, Douglas, come out. Play trains with me". Matthew is going to be quite disappointed when Douglas comes out, because I don't think he/she is going to play trains for quite a while.

What a little cutie!

Heritage Park...

I spend many of my days at parks, as Matthew goes, goes, goes. He hates being cooped up in the house. I think I am familiar with every park within an hour radius of our house. One of Matthew's favorite parks is Heritage Park, in La Verne, which is near my parent's house. I enjoy taking pictures of my Mattie during play. I always tell him to "say cheese" when I take his picture. Lately, his favorite silly thing to do is to move around and strike different poses, so I will take his pic. He tells me, "say cheese over here mommy, then he moves and says "now say cheese over here mommy". I have gotten some very cute and "hammy" pictures lately. He makes me laugh so much!
