The Big 4!

I can't believe my baby boy is 4!! We had a great little gathering to celebrate the day. Good food, good cake, great friends & family!

Little Einsteins cake

Ian and Aysha

Time for presents! So much good stuff.

And the coveted Statue of Liberty! It's a souvenir Grandma Le bought about 30 years ago and Ian just loves it. So now it's passed on to him :)

The Petersen family (missing Brayden!)

Mr. Big Brown Eyes

Cheeeeeessseeee!

Ian and Mommy!

School Days

Ian started his first day of preschool yesterday! He loves it and can't wait to go back. It's official - my baby is growing up. sniff....sniff

Breakfast before school

The dreaded "I don't want to go to school" comment :(

But once he saw the other kids and their "cool" backpacks, he was ready!

Waiting outside his room to start the day
Ian and his teacher during his open house last week.

I'm so glad he likes school (well at least he does for now!). I'm sure we'll have plenty more pics to come :)

Fourth of July!

We celebrated the 4th by the traditional fireworks and parade. Of course, I forgot the camera for the fireworks, but not for the parade!

Waiting (sortof) patiently for the parade to start

Ian - proud of his loot!

My silly boy!

The new bike!

We got Ian a bike just the right size for him! He's doing great and really getting the hang of it :) He thinks he's pretty hotstuff!

And of course, with the first ride, comes the first fall. No worries - bruised his ego more than his knee.

Birthday pics

Better late than never......

And finally - the funny (or not so funny.....) animal hats!

Birthday Boy!

Josh turned 1 on May 18. We had a little celebration at home that night and party the following Saturday. I'm still working on uploading pics from the Saturday party, but here's some from his actual birthday!

The birthday boy cheesin' it up for the camera!

Hmmm....what is this odd thing?

Not so bad the smash....and eat just a little. But more fun to smash!


Evidentally the best present ever!!! The shopping cart with play food. Hours of fun ;-)

More to come! Happy Birthday my Sweetpea!

Disney!!

In April, Ian and I headed to Disney for a short vacation with the Le family. It was a great time, beautiful weather and of course a meeting with Mickey Mouse!!

The Disney Castle

Our pals Mickey and Minnie

Ian getting a smooch!Ready for the 3D show - it's a good look for him!

It's a Small World (and apparently a fun ride to ride over....and over)

Then we spent a fun day at Sea World. We watched to dolphin show and the sea lion show and saw a lot of cool animals!

Swimming at the house

We had so much fun and can't wait to get back when Lu and Josh can go too! It was great to get some Ian and Mommy time though :)
