All Aboard!

Brian and I both have the fondest memories of riding the train at Balboa Park as kids.  We couldn't wait to take Sloane for her first ride and last weekend we did!  She seemed to enjoy herself almost as much as Brian and I did!

 All set to go!

 And...we're off!

Tunnel time! 

A little unsure...but no tears!

Score One for Mother Earth!

Well we did it...we made the decision to put Sloane in cloth diapers...and I have to say it is going great...and they are darn cute!   

 Rockin' her new dipes!

Welcome to Sunday at our house...but I have to say its not bad at all and we feel pretty good about doin' our part to help out the planet!

Meeting New Friends

Our dear friends, Aaron and Emilee Girvan welcomed their son, Hudson Gregory, on January 1, 2014 and we drove up to meet him when he was just one week old.  They don't know it yet...but he and Sloane will be the best of friends.

 Here is Baby Hudson in the arms of Grandpa and Grandma.

 Emilee and I have known each other since "before we were born!"

Aunt Barbara was making Sloane and Mommy giggle!

 Sloane tuckered herself out having so much fun with Peyton and Hudson.

 Friends for life!

Our friends Joe and Janell welcomed their son (yep-Sloane is surrounded by boys), Landon William, on February 12, 2014 and Mommy and Daddy were lucky enough to go and visit him in the hospital the day he was born...just like Joe and Janell did when Sloane was born!  

 Proud Daddy!

 Brand new Mommy and doing awesome!!

Great friends! 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Believe it or not...it was one year ago on Valentine's day that we saw Sloane for the very first time and got to hear her heartbeat...so special.  My how things change in one year!

Sloane's First Zoo Trip!

In an effort to make the most out of my last few days of maternity leave we took Sloane to the World Famous San Diego Zoo!  She seemed to enjoy walking around in her Bjorn and looking around at all the animals...although I think she was mostly people watching.

 Checkin' out the new koala exhibit.

 There is a brand new baby giraffe at the zoo right now...so cute...and Sloane could totally relate!

 Sloane was excited because she matched the flamingos!

 Even though we thought watching these two elephants interact was exciting...

 ...they put Sloane right to sleep!

Family fun at the zoo!
