Oh Chloe...

Josh and I went to a stand-up Comedy show last night with my parents at Punch-Line.  

Mary Lynn Rajskub was performing.  Many of you know her as 

Chloe O'Brian from NBC's 24.  We love Chloe and are always making fun of her strange attitude.  We were wondering what she would be like in person.  NOTHING like Chloe...more like a cute, bubbly and very strange run in with an old friend.  Plus she is so pretty in real life without the scowling and furrowed brow.

Her comedy was more of a story-telling style, and she was so funny.  She made fun of Fergie for peeing her pants and talked about birthing and baby stories of her little baby boy.  I think I was laughing the loudest when she made fun of her baby getting drunk off her "booby milk".  It was so funny because it is so true!  People probably wondered why I was laughing so hard.

It was fun to go into the city and do something different for a date night.  Thanks mom and dad for a fun night!  And thank you Morgan and Cade for watching the kiddo's!

Shelter Cove...family style

Family of FIVE to be exact.  

The trip to Shelter Cove took a little longer than normal with a newborn, but it was so good to spend the weekend together relaxing before Josh headed back to work and we entered real life again.  We started out at the beach.  The weather was absolutely perfect.

Laney was a little afraid of the loud waves...

Alex lended her a hand, or body. :)

Daddy helped Laney fight those fears by throwing rocks at the naughty waves.

She showed them.  They washed right away back into the ocean every time she threw a rock at them.  She thought that was pretty cool.  But, they kept coming back.

"Bye Bye Waves!"

Thanks Daddy, mwaaah!

Kadie and Laney found their own little wading pool filled with hermit crabs and more rocks!

This picture is to prove that we found a swimming suit to fit Laney's bum.  No wedgie!

Big Josh, Nick and Laney crab hunting.

What the ...!?!...

Is that me (Leisa)?  I am exsistent?  Whew...I was getting worried.  It has been a rare occasion for me to be spotted on the blog, but that may change.  

Josh loves the new lense he got me for our anniversary almost as much as me!

Okay...don't push it Leisa.

I want you Josh...to stop taking weird pictures of me. :)

That's better. 

We watched little planes fly in and out all day.

I don't know who looks more amazing in the picture.  Me or Alex?  You decide.

Look how cute.  Daddy and his baby Crew, sitting in the shade.

Kadie the rock climber, even in a swimming suit.

Little did we know that a perfect afternoon at the beach would turn into tragedy!

Look at what happened to poor Kadie's back.

We kept Crew under an umbrella the ENTIRE time, and after we got home, we realized he looked like a large tomato because he had been roasting for three hours in the shade.  I guess it is a good idea to get a UV protected umbrella.  Poor baby!

Laney didn't get sun burned.

It was a fun filled weekend, with fun filled people and great weather and we can't wait to get back.  Thanks Grammy/Mama and Papa G!

Crew...one month old

Remember this skinny little one week old...?

Here is Crew at one month, chubbin' it up!

Why we live here...

Despite how much I dislike apartment renting, and the cost of living here in northern CA...this family excursion we took on Cinco de Mayo reminded me of how beautiful San Ramon Valley is.

Here is Josh with Crew (below) going on his first little hike up on Mount Diablo.

Actually...it was the first trip for ALL OF US!

How pathetic is it that we have never gone up there in the 6 years we have lived here?

We decided what better time to go than on our anniversary.  After all we needed something to do with Kadie's school being canceled from the Swine Flu!

Laney was quite the climber...wanted to do it all herself!

(In actuality, she is climbing horizontal...

the picture looks more impressive that what actually took place). :)

JOSH SENIOR AND JOSH (Crew) JUNIOR ARE KINGS OF THE MOUNTAIN!!!

We did have a hot date later that night.  Josh took me to our favorite Thai place and we ate yummy food...then he took me shopping for new clothes!  It was so much fun just the two of us.

And he totally out did himself this year on the gift thing.  Thank you Joshy...I love you!

Um...No Comment

Leisa: "Laney what are you doing?"

Laney: "I want 'baby Cool' to eat MY food"!

I {Heart} Josh!

It's all rainy and gloomy today, on Cinco de Mayo.  Not much of a reminder of the beautiful sun filled day 8 years ago when Josh and I were married.  I can hardly believe it has been 8 years...I never thought in only 8 years we would have married, graduated college, moved to California and have three children.  Here are a few fun photos through the years...best times right Joshy?

( I feel bad for anything before 2008...we have such a small amount of pictures compared to the past couple of years).

One more thing...for those of you who tried to scare Josh and I about year number 7...we scratched that itch.  We made it through with flying colors and a new baby too.  Take that!

Don't you love how I made Josh take a picture with Goofy and Pluto?  Love it!  Haha.

Josh, I just want you to know how lucky and grateful I feel.  I never thought that 8 years ago I could love you more than that day we got married.  I never knew what a great husband and daddy you would turn out to be.  I truly appreciate all that you do for me to show me that you care and love me and the girlies...and our new little baby Crew!  Makes me think of that country song 'just another day in paradise', I know you know that song. :)  I can't wait to see what another 8 years will bring.  I love you!
