Off to the Aquarium!

Since the zoo was such a hit and it was hotter than Hades in Temecula we decided to head back down to beautiful (and a cool 75 degrees) San Diego to check out the Birch Aquarium. It was wasn't a huge aquarium and since fish don't make much noise Matt wasn't sure what to make of it but we had a great time anyway.

Umm what are we doing here?

And the aquarium highlight...the gift shop. Totally redeemed the value of the aquarium for the Mattster.

tee hee.

Helpin' Mom with the laundry...

I use the term 'help' subjectively because I would fold a towel and he would knock it down. Look at that face though, so sweet!

First trip to the Zoo!

I'm not going to lie, Todd and I have never been huge fans of the zoo. As far as we are concerned the San Diego Zoo is full of pretty much only monkeys. I don't know if we've just been lazy and only have seen the monkeys before calling it a day (completely possible) or misread the zoo map and kept making circles around the monkey area (also possible) but that's all we've ever seen.

Now that we have Matt and he terrorizes our cat on a daily basis we thought he'd just LOVE the zoo. We were right, he didn't much care for the monkeys (yep he's ours) but LOVED the Flamingos. They were fighting and making lots of noise and by golly that was the funniest thing that kid has ever seen. ADORABLE.

We're here!

monkeys!

Hi ya!

Flamingos are the coolest!

Matty giggles.

Mommy and Matty

ooo whats over there.

We now have a new love for the zoo. To see our baby giggle and smile there was priceless and totally worth getting lost in the monkey area again :).

First Baby related injury...

The Mattman has been fixin' to break one of our noses or rip out an eye here for a while. We knew injury was imminent and today Todd was the unlucky recipient of a bloody nose. Ouch. This kid is strong.

Happy Fathers Day!

Today is my sweet Todd's first fathers day! He got to sleep in (kinda), had some breakfast in bed and got lots of smiles and laughs from the Mattman!

We love you sweetie! Happy Father's Day!

Dad, you're the coolest. awwww.

Tuckered out

Such a flirt! Aunt Teresa came over and the Mattman just laughed and smiled and then decided she looked pretty cozy to take a snooze on. He never does this to us! ;)

Such a sweet little man!

Rock N' Roll Marathon

If I had an ounce of athletic dedication that my sweet Todd has, I would be in some seriously awesome shape...but I don't so I'm not going to harp on it ;). What I will do is go and watch my cute husband run in marathons. Today the Toddster continued to make running 26.2 miles look like a walk in the park completing the entire race in 3 hours and 47 minutes (whaaa???). He didn't even look sweaty. Then he came home and had some beers and bbq'd with my family. He's got to be some sort of super person.

Good morning San Diego!

Crossing the finish line!



I'm awesome.
