Still missing the Morford's

Upon Cantrell & Jeremy's arrival Friday, we ventured off to lunch at Cheesecake Factory where I discovered the joy of pomegranate mojitos. Then, in honor of the drinking trend, I took them wine tasting in Livermore.

We all went to pick up Shelby from daycare and he was so excited to show off.

On Saturday morning we spent quality cartoon time with the Shelbster then the adults took off for the city, while Shelby forgot we existed. That's what happens when he's with Chaila and Aaron.

We spent the morning at the Wharf. Trell got to see Golden Gate Bridge in the distance.

Bridge is behind this crazy bird posing for pics. I felt like I should tip him or something.

Then we all stared at the amazing, stinky sea lions. These guys have such personality, they always crack Stacy and I up.

Nothing like some smelly animals to make you hungry! After some souvenir shopping, we were off to a fun, fancy lunch at the Franciscan Crab restaurant, as dungeness crab is in prime season. YUM!!!! I recommend the cocktail: Siren of the Sea. :->

Half drunk....

After lunch we headed to Ghirardelli Square. On the way we saw something we knew Shelby would love: A pirate ship! This kid is all into pirates and swords. We got him a pirate's hat and a tattoo at the local shop.

mmm....fat kids.....

Back home we enjoyed a lazy evening, In n Out Burger and bedtime routine. Cantrell made the mistake of teaching Shelby i spy during storytime. Now he won't listen to the stories, he wants to say, "Whatchu spy, Mommy?" LOL! It takes forever to get through one book. Thanks, Trell! LOL!

And sadly, we had to say good-bye on Sunday. We were all sad to see the Morford's go!!!!

Shelby ensuring Jeremy knows we're bringing the heat on Thanksgiving day! Gig 'em, Ags!

Come back soon!

Trell's Visit!

More pics to come...

Cantrell and Jeremy came to visit this weekend! It was a BLAST! I miss you already, Trell!!!!!! Thank you again for coming. You're my girl!

Grammy & Grandpa's Visit

Shelby had a great weekend with Grammy & Grandpa! We're all sad to see them go in the morning. Stacy & Dennis had the tour 'o football all weekend. Thurs - 49ers, Sat - Cal Bears, Sun - Raiders. Elaine & I stayed home with the Shelbster, who came down with a nasty cold. He's got an awful cough that sounds so deep and painful. We've had the humidifier going. He hasn't had fever all day, and I took him to the Urgent care. No fever, 32 lbs and no infection. They did chest x-rays and everything, just in case. Told he's not contagious either, just had fluid in lungs. Hmmm.....

Grammy and I didn't completely luck out, though. On Friday afternoon, we went wine tasting locally. FUN!

Music Lover

My son the music lover. He found headphones and wanted to plug in to the computer and listen to music. I went through a few different songs and he would get angry that he didn't like them. "Not that one, Mommy!" And then, he won my heart....Blue October! And not a song he commonly knows, but some of my older favorites. He was the cutest dancing from side to side while really feeling the music.

LOVE IT!

The KING on Halloween

Shelby did an amazing job playing Elvis this Halloween. The party started on Wednesday when his school had their annual costume parade. Then, we headed to downtown Livermore with Nicole and Nicholas, where Shelby entered the costume contest. WAY TO GO, SHELBY (and NONNA)! We had a call that he won!

Nonna made Daxton an Elvis costume too, and he won 2 contests with prizes including a $100 card to Target.

This is his effort at making an Elvis face and saying, "Uh-huh"

The Frog room.Da Boyz.Shelby and his buddy, Silas.And everyone knows his girlfriend, Alex. She was the cutest little clown.Kazoos kept Shelby entertained the whole walk. Notice the finishing touch of Tehya's blue suede shoes and Chaila's guitar from Hawaii? This kid was decked out!!!

On Thursday we went to the George's for excellent food and pumpkin carving. Jett and Shelby got all dressed up for photos. CUTE!

Jett is awaiting his upcoming debut as Big Brother. Saturday we went to see Chaila's dark bride attire. Yes, a true Vegas wedding between these two. I was sporting my Jailhouse Rock ensemble.This boy has way too many ladies.......because then we were off to Berkley to visit the Mucker's and Shelby's precious little Claire!Here, Baby Claire, hold my hand. I'll show you how to trick-or-treat.

These were from last weekend.

Gig 'Em! This was following the Ags big win against Tech in Lubbock!!!!

I can't believe Halloween is over! That always means the rest of the year just flies by 100mph. Wow....
