Easter!

We just got home from a very fun and busy trip down south to see the family. We took the kids to the San Diego Zoo, a state park for a picnic, to Nonnie's for lunch, and spent a lot of time playing at the ranch.


Our Easter was a blast! We had Easter with Poppo and Nonnie first, then the next day we celebrated at Auntie Barb's and Uncle Bill's with Hobbie, Bapu, Aunties Cat and Steph, Uncles Dustin and Scott, Sheila, Galen, Alexes, David and all the little girls. Jacob had so much fun searching for Easter Eggs with his cousins.


The other exciting thing is that Jacob is potty training. He decided right before our trip that he wanted to go on the big potty, and he has been doing really well ever since. He has even woken up in the dead of night to run to the potty. He usually sleeps like a log, though, just like his dad, so that is not a common occurrence! However, he is doing amazingly well and we are really proud of him. We can't wait until his diapers are a thing of the past!

Wow, I can't even keep up with this blogger business! I guess there's not a whole lot that has happened in the last month. Jacob continues to grow practically before our eyes. He is still super cuddly and sweet. He is going to this drop-in preschool once a week and loves it. We are thinking about signing him up for soccer, too! He would be so cute out there. He's getting so tall and skinny - looking more and more like his dad!

Easter came up on us with a quickness. We are headed to So Cal to spend it with our family down there. We haven't done Easter at Auntie Barb's in a long time. We are very excited to see everyone!

The Holidays are Over!

I love the holidays, but I am so glad they are behind us this year! We had a wonderful time with family and friends, but it gets so busy and stressful! Jacob loved visiting Santa and all he asked for was a bell (he recently saw Polar Express). We celebrated Christmas three times - first with my mom and Prasad, then with my dad, Nonnie, sisters and their families, then with Ben's parents. Each time we had a blast! We were also blessed with a new little niece, Juniper Lily Vosovic, courtesy Ben's sister, Sarah, and her husband Jon. After three Christmases, we were home to host a mini New Year's Eve party. We had friends come over and stay until the wee hours! I have not been up that late in years! It was so much fun, but I think we're all still recovering (Yes, it has been a month). The latest and greatest Jakey news is that he is officially sleeping in a "big-boy-bed!" He has been wonderful about it - staying in it all night and calling for me in the morning and letting me come get him, instead of getting out of bed. Friends warn me this won't last, but I'm happy with it for now. He looks so cute and grown-up in that bed with a fun new quilt from Grandma. I hear him kicking the wall now, so I guess my quiet time is over for today.

Happy New Year!

We finally made it to blogville. I have many friends with a variety of blogs so I thought I should get on board! I am getting worse and worse with emails and pictures so hopefully I'll be better about doing it this way! I will try to update often with just the important details! (hah - as a mom they are ALL important!). We hope you enjoy all the news!
