Happy 1 1/4 Birthday!!

Where does the time go?!? We JUST celebrated Rayas first birthday and I'm already taking her 15 month picture?!

Her first year we had stickers nothing her age and since those went until 12 months I came up with a fun way to document this next year of life.  Everyday is a new adventure for her and she's starting to really show favorites in things she likes to do.  I made a chalkboard frame and sit it next to her favorite activity if the month.  Granted she has about 3-4 things she loves doing each month but this will help us remember the stages.  On any given day she just LOVES Zara and also loves exploring her box of music instruments.

Happy Fathers Day 2


We celebrated Tim's 2nd Fathers Day this weekend and he had it OFF, no events :) We took advantage!!

So we have numerous hotel stays from trade Tim has done with hotels and we were finally able to take advantage of one! We stayed at the Westin at Horton Plaza and upon checkin were nicely greeted at our door with some champagne and strawberry fondue...uhhh thank you and YUM! The catering manager we know there sent it over for us.  While Raya took her afternoon nap we indulged in it a little.  We met Danny, Tim's older brother who lives downtown, for a drink (or 2...we had to take advantage of not needing to drive! :)) then headed over to Petco Park to watch the baseball game.  There is a park at the park which we got tickets for so Raya could run around since she clearly could care less about watching a baseball game ;) but she loves running around and even clapped when the crowd did.  We got about 1.5 hours of attention from her before we headed out.  It was a fun night and she must have tired herself out, she fell asleep on the way back to the hotel!


Saturday we got breakfast then did some shopping.  Sunday, Tim wanted to take Zara to the beach to run around so we all  headed there and then I arranged for Tim to get a foot massage.  When he got home we had a BBQ atthe house and played with Raya.  It was a nice weekend :)



Thankfully Tim had some time to relax because in true Tim fashion he had a 12 hour workday ahead of him on Monday :(. He works so hard and we appreciate it everyday, he gives us the opportunity to have what we have and still finds time to be a great dad!!

Lastly I had to try the onesie on that Raya wore on Fathers Day last year...she looked like a bit of a sausage but I still got her in it ;) ohhh sweet pea ;)
