Hello everyone! I know its been almost 3 months since I last posted. We have been busy....
I celebrated my birthday after my last post. We went to Mahe (a restaurant) and had a wonderful sushi dinner.
We took Kaylen to her first baseball game at Angel Stadium. It didn't go so well.... For one, it was really hot and our seats were in the sun. She was probably bored so she complained, loudly. So I took her to some shade and we cooled off. But it was just not a good day for her. We left the game early. Mike got the tickets for free, so no money lost. But we got one pic! And we used the Angels outfit that Aunt Barb got for her, before she outgrew it!
Some very sad news....my Uncle Steve passed away at the end of June after a battle with stomach cancer.
The good news....my Mom was in town for a week. We didn't get to see her that much, but we got to see her! Kaylen also got to see a lot of our CA family at Steve's service. Cousin Tiffany did a great job of honoring her father. So very sad...
Here is Nanna playing Peek A Boo with Kaylen...
Nanna loved her time in our pool with Kaylen
We got Kaylen a new chair....she loves it!
More very sad news.....Mike's Dad passed away on July 27th. He had been battling a liver disorder for a couple of years, but nobody saw this coming. He was admitted to the hospital and his organs had just shut down. The doctors did everything they could. Mike was able to spend his Dad's last days together. Kaylen and I flew to San Jose to be with Mike. Thank goodness the flight was only an hour....traveling with a toddler is exhausting! My Dad was kind enough to fly from Texas to be with us too. We spent a week together in San Jose. We had lots of work to do cleaning out his house. We also had a very nice service at his Dad's church. Lots of people came and honored Mike's Dad. Mike did an amazing job honoring his father too.
Here is a pic of part of the collage we put together...mostly pics of Grandpa and Kaylen
Well we decided to take our vacation to Pismo Beach that we had planned with our friends The Wolters (Ryan, Davina and Griffin.) It was a much needed couple of days away. We had a great time. We hit a couple of wineries, the outlet malls and even had a date night!
For our date night, Mike and I went to the Madonna Inn. We enjoyed some steak, lobster, chocolate cake and champagne....oh and some great decor...
Kaylen turned 18 months old on our vacation! We had her pediatrician appointment when we got back. She weighed 29 pounds and 35 inches tall! She also was sick with an ear infection and a virus which caused her some yucky coughing spells. She is on antibiotics and an albuterol inhaler for this. She is much better now....poor girl!
Mike took this pic one morning when he got her ready for daycare....it's my current favorite pic... it just makes you smile!
I can only find this one video for now...we have a couple on our video camera but haven't uploaded them yet. We will soon....but for now, here is Kaylen dancing....
