So Jack is my busiest baby ever! If I clean up one of his messes he is off making another one. I just can't stay on top of it. He decided to empty all of the kids cups out of this bin where I keep them and bring it into the living room to watch tv in. Check out his crazy post-bath hair! I think it is time to get that first haircut!?! (Sara has been waiting for this moment!)


Baby Jack Entertains Himself


I seriously walked into his room to get him up in the morning and this is how I found him. He is the best baby!

Court's First Pedicure




I took Courtney to get a mani/pedi with me for some much needed girl bonding time. She loved the experience so much that she asks everyday when we are going back. She loves the flowers that they painted on her big toes and thumbs.

Courtney lost her first tooth

Courtney lost her first tooth! She actually lost her second one already too. I know you all really care, but I'm just saying...

Tyson Graduates Again!

All the UCSD graduates
Beautiful La Jolla Shores
My parents came down for the celebration
UCSD Anesthesia Faculty

I know, I know....just when you thought a single person couldn't get another diploma. After a high school, junior college, Univesity of Utah, UCSD Medical School and Internship Diploma, Tyson has yet another one to add to his collection. He graduated from his anesthesia residency this June! But sorry everyone, he still isn't done. Next year he will have another graduation when he finishes his fellowship in interventional pain medicine. Then he will be done for real, for real! Congratulations Tyson! We have almost reached the end of this looooong, looooong road.

Tiffany Comes to Town

Tyson loooovvvves babies! Sorry honey, no more for you!
Riley and Courtney

Once again, I was lucky to have my high school bff come out for a visit! We talk on the phone regularly, but rarely get to see each other. She lives in LA so it is still a trip to hook up with each other, not to mention pretty crazy with our small living spaces and 7 kids! But when we do get together, it's just like old times. Her three kids are the same ages as my 3 youngest kids. I stole her son's name, Jack, for my baby. She wanted to steal Owen's name too, but was lucky enough to have a girl the third time around. Lacey and my Jack are only a few days apart and we both had unplanned pregnancies! We couldn't have planned it any better than that. She came just for an overnight but we really crammed in as much as we could. We had an afternoon of fun at the baby pool and Tyson was crazy and sweet enough to volunteer to babysit while Tiffany and I went out shopping. That's right everybody, Tyson watched 7 kids under the age of 8 all by himself. He really should get an award for that or something. We almost bought some really hideous BF necklaces that seemed really funny and cool at the time. We stayed in this store for forty minutes past closing (only we didn't realize this) and then when the worker found us, he had to escort us out of the store and he yelled at us! We were cracking up. The next day we did a day trip to Sea World and Courtney and Ryley were at each other's side the whole time. The kids loved it. I made Tiffany buy passes to Sea World so that it would force her to come visit again soon. Can't wait to see you again Tiffany!
