My First Giants Game!

Thursday evening we met up with Tony's cousin Alex and his girlfriend, Steph in San Francisco. We went out to some awesome sushi and caught a taxi to the Giant's game. It was so much fun. The game flew by and the Giants won. Woo Hoo!
We woke up early, excited to go get some breakfast at our old favorite place when Tony lived in S.F. called Crepes on Cole. Yummy. We chatted it up with the owner and he ended up giving us a free dessert crepe . . . strawberries and brown sugar with whipped cream. Yummy.

James' First Movie

Thursday morning Tony and I took James to see Toy Story 3 while Luke stayed with Grandma Benson. It was limitless candy and popcorn for James which he has never had before. We laughed throughout the entire movie and had a great time. Although, I could swear James looked a little green as we were leaving the theater . . .

Lunch with Little Pop

Tony's great grandfather, Little Pop, is 97. Over the past several years he has slowly been losing his memory due to vascular dementia. He often forgets who I am, so we decided it might be best to just have Tony and James visit him for lunch so he didn't feel too overwhelmed. He is just precious, and I am really happy Tony got some good pictures! Love you, Pop.

Monterey

Last week, Tony and I unexpectedly found ourselves off work together! We decided to take advantage of it after a long period of having NO days off together, and treat the boys to a nice little trip. We headed down to the Bay Area to stay with my parents and made a trip to Monterey the next day! Thanks Grandpa and Grandma Benson for treating us to the museum!

Lucas, still not walking, liked to sit and point to the huge hanging whale skeletons and sea otters and talk to us about them.

While outside, having a snack, we saw some "big kids" getting scuba lessons. How cool! Maybe one day James and Lucas can too! James had a lot of fun watching.
A picture of a type of seahorse in the new exhibit, called a "sea dragon." Beautiful. I can't believe this is a real animal!

Daddy and James strike a pose with Daddy sea horse giving birth. :)

James really enjoyed all the touch pools and hands-on stuff to do!
After the museum it was off to Cannery Row for some Ghiradelli (sp?) ice cream!

What Happens While Mommy Sleeps . . .

They take good care of my tomatoes . . .James makes sure Lucas drinks all of his milk . . .
They share their candy . . . ewww . . .
They eat like kitty-cats and puppy-dogs!

Big Boy Room

Tony and I decided it was time to get James a big boy bed. And since they will be sharing a room in the not-so-distant future, we got one for Lucas as well. James picked out the Spiderman bedding, of course! I waited for everything to go on sale, and Potterybarn Kids waived the surcharge for shipping, plus I got an extra 10% off. What a deal! ;-) I still have a few things to get like wall hangings and a lamp, but here are the beds! So comfy I think I might take a nap on Luke's . . .
