Loves his daddy!

Take me out to the ball game....

Today Matt was introduced to a sport he will probably be forced (or will most likely ask) to play in a couple years...baseball!

I grew up going to baseball games and Todd and I want to carry on the tradition. Of course the Angels were playing the Mariners but in light of what happened at the Dogers game not so long ago we decided it was best to go ahead and support the home team. ;)

We can't wait to go again!

All dressed up w. Mommy

Todd's dad was also in town so here's Matt playing with Grandpa Don. Matt LOVED him!



And then got to play with Grandpa Mike, he was a pretty happy kiddo

Seriously how handsome are my boys?!?!

Thanks Mom and Dad for coming with us!

Baby's first trip to Disneyland!

Disneyland is very near and dear to my family's hearts, I have been there probably hundreds of times....literally. My family has gone every Christmas for probably the last 30 years (yes you do the math) and in high school I had a season pass and went there most weekends and pretty much everyday in the summer. Yep I was cool like that. 

So when Brian and Sandra suggested we go on their last visit we couldnt be more excited to show the Mattman one our favorite places...

excited Coyers

Yes we are wearing Mickey shirts and no we aren't embarrassed.

Tuckered out on the Jungle cruise

I never realized how incredibly stimulating Disneyland is for kiddos. Matt didn't know what to think, he just looked in awe the entire time, you could tell he liked it ;)

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.
