Water!

Since we live so close to Sea World, we have season passes, so it's nice just to go for the morning and not feel like you have to stay all day to get your moneys worth. They have a big water park there and also a little splash area for the kids. The other day, I finally took Tyler to the splash area and he loved it. Soon, we'll have to go to the bigger water park area.

Yumm!

We made these popsicles the other day-the ones where you freeze juice. Once Tyler stopped checking the freezer every 10 min. to see if they were frozen and they finally had time to freeze, he loved them!

Tyler & Mark

My friend, Kathleen and her son, Mark were here Tuesday and Wednesday. Mark is 6 weeks older than Tyler. The boys had a lot of fun together. At the park Tuesday night, the slides had some water on them-the boys loved it! They made such a mess, but had so much fun. This is them Tuesday night watching Curious George before bed. Wedensday morning, they played and then we went to Chick-fil-a before they headed back to Houston.

Sweet Conversations

Today Tyler did something I asked and this is how the conversation went:
Mommy: Good job buddy, you obeyed Mommy
Tyler: Ty obey Mommy, Ty obey God
Mommy: Yeah, Jesus is happy when you obey Mommy & Daddy
Tyler: Mommy, Jesus come play in the water hose with Ty
Mommy: Honey, Jesus is up in Heaven
Tyler: Jesus come down here then and play with Ty
Mommy: Jesus has to stay in Heaven, but he likes to watch you play

The other night we had a big thunderstorm here and when it was thundering, I told Tyler that is sounded like bowling and reminded how we went bowling last summer. The next time it thundered, he said, " Mommy, Jesus bowling, he hit all the pins down."

Finally There

Tyler is finally potty trained! Yeah!! When he first turned 2, we got a potty chair and he went in it right away. For about 2 weeks, he'd go almost every time. I was shocked because that was so early for a boy. After 2 weeks, he wanted nothing to do with it. Then when he was about 2 1/2 he did it again for 2 weeks, but after that was finished with it. Since then, a day here or there, he'd want to wear underwear. I knew he could do it, he just needed to decide he wanted to do it all the time. We are now at 2 1/2 weeks of big boy underwear all day, even for naps. At night time he wears a pull up. Yeah for Tyler!

San Diego Trip

Scott and I had a great anniversary trip to San Diego. We arrived Tuesday to sunny San Diego around 11:00. Once we found our condo, we headed out to look for food and get an idea of the area. We were in a great location-close to everything we had planned. We went over to Coronado Island first and ate at the cutest little pizzeria. We did a little shopping and then had ice cream at Moo Time-my friend recommended that place. I know I took pictures that day, but can not find them. The Island was adorable. Everyone rode around on bikes and there were the cutest little houses there. I really liked it. When we came back over to San Diego, we drove around some more-this first picture is the view of the city from Harbor Island. That night we took the trolley to the Padres game. They were playing the Giants. We got there a little early for batting practice and Lincecum was giving autographs. It was a fun game.

Wednesday, we went to Mission Beach in the morning. We walked along the beach and then ate at The Mission. My sister and her friend raved about it. I have to say, it was delicious! After that we went to Torrey Pines. Scott was going to be golfing there on Thursday and wanted to see where it was and have time to buy a few things. Next we went to the zoo. The zoo was wonderful! They also had cable cars that would take you from one end of the zoo to the other. There were so many big hills. I don't know how the moms with double strollers were making it. That night we ate in Old Town.

Thursday, I dropped Scott off at Torrey Pines to play. The course was gorgeous as you can see from the pictures. I putted a few times before I headed to La Jolla. I loved La Jolla. It was the cutest little town. There were tons of shops to look at. I had lunch outside while I read. I walked down to the beach and even layed out for hour or so. The weather was great that day. That night we went to Old Town and had a great dinner at this place called Cafe Coyote. I don't have any pictures of that.

Friday morning, we went back over to Coronado Island because I wanted some more pictures, but it was pretty overcast. We looked at a few more shops we missed the first day and then headed back to Point Loma. We ate at Point Loma Seafoods, which Rachel Ray recommends and it was good. After that, we headed to the airport. It was a very nice trip for me and Scott. We got to do all the things we wanted to and relax some too.

Fun with Grandma & Grandpa

While Scott and I were in San Diego, my parents watched Tyler. They had a lot of fun. They bought him the scooter I posted about a few days ago. Tyler loved playing Hi Ho Cherri-O with my dad and always beat him. They went to the pool a few times. They went to the Riverwalk and rode the boat. My dad likes to go to Chick-fil-A, and since it's one of Tyler's favorites, they went for lunch and breakfast. Tyler and Grandma did some crafts too.When my parents came, my mom had not been feeling too great, but she thought she could make it the whole week. That did not happen. On Thursday morning, so got very sick and my dad had to take her to the ER. She was admitted and put in ICU. We are so blessed to have some great friends/neighbors that watched Tyler for us while my parents were busy with hospital things. This was Tyler's first sleep over and he handled it great! On Friday my mom had a gall stone taken out and on Monday she had her gall bladder removed. Scott and I got home Friday night. My mom is feeling much better and actually goes home tomorrow. My mom has been here an extra 10 days, so she really got to relax and recover here. The past few days as she has felt better, her and Tyler have had fun. They've read, played games, and made me one of my favorite desserts-Mississippi Mud Cake.
