on mother's day we went to my step-sister's house and grubbed then took the kiddos to the splash pad in santa clara for some running around, i think jorel got wet once and then was done, but he ran around the pads for a while and seemed to enjoy that okay. he got pretty worn out playing with the cousins and fell asleep on the floor that night. he must've enjoyed it because he's been doing that ever since.
his cousin mckenna came for an overnight stay and they just adore each other. she's just another little mother to have around helps me out quite a bit for a little just-turned-eighter. i took them to the hurricane park where we had quite an interesting experience with other children - its sad to say weirdos, but they kinda were. oh well...
my youngest brother, markus, graduated from high school. we are about 6 years apart and can't believe how fast the time has gone. my sis has tons of pictures of this and the whole weekend, and when she's around i don't even get my camera out! thank heavens for her though cause she captures the best moments! after the graduation my dad, markus, and i went back with the california crew for a few days. we hit up universal studios which we thought would be way crowded on memorial day, but it wasn't too bad so we got lucky. i took one picture while we were there...
i thought that he looked like my younger bro jake here...
i finished the blanket for coach esplin's new baby, grady finally, not knowing his wife was a braves fan! oops... but i thought it turned out pretty good if i do say so myself.
jorel has had more moments with crazy hair and am thinking it might be time to give him a little trim, but i just can't get myself to do it, but for sure by 2 years old... maybe :)
this kid loves it more than anything to be outside and thinks the world is over when we need to come in to the house. lately its like his life just ended... i'm glad he likes it so much except for when its so hot! the swing is definitley one of his favorites. he's also in love with grandpa's truck.
he also had to have surgery again because he beat the 20% chance of having a hydrocele on the other side, and again he came out pretty good he'll just now have 2 scars. surgery at 6:30 am and running around the house by 2 pm.
he's also been really into singing lately and it is just the cutest thing ever. sometime he sings the sadest songs cause he gets such a sad look on his face. he likes especially to sing when he's taking a bath.
speaking of music... dmb's new album is AMAZING...
when we took markus to the airport to go visit missouri, jorel got to enjoy his first mcdonald's breakfast and loved it.
also there are some results from his firt ice cream cone, all of the people in dairy queen were entertained to say the least :)
kudos for making it through this long boring post! oh, and i got a job at backstreet tees and will be starting that the day after i get back from my little vacation. i'm pretty excited about that!

it wasn't a boring post - i quite enjoyed it! :) when jorel wears that little white onesie, i could just keel over and die on the spot. such cute pics of him. have an awesome trip luvs!
It is so amazing how our kids are going through the exact same milestones...loving outside, singing nonstop, crazy ice cream face, loves to be naked (I am assuming that part from the first few pictures), and just the overall energy that just flows from them nonstop!
Congrats on the new job. I order shirts all the time for our business and pick them up from Backstreet almost once a week so I am sure I will see you there.
On a side note, did the playgroup thing ever get started, or did I just miss it?
