I think I feel a tradition coming on...

Today was so busy and so fun. We started off with me tutoring while Zac and Teagan went to play at the mall. They came and got me and we went back to spend my birthday money. I didn't get anything there (I ended up getting new pyrex baking dishes...SO excited!) but we had a lot of fun window shopping.

We returned home for TEag's nap which only lasted 30 min...dirty diaper (3rd one today...are you kidding me???) so we took off again. We went to once upon a child and got some clothes for TEagan. I was really excited to find very new looking-brand name stuff for SOOOO cheap.

Then we went to the beach again later that afternoon. I was excited that is was cool and breezy so that I could try TEagan's new outfit out on him (all for $6). We just walked on the board walk (I don't know if that's actually what it's called) in Carlsbad and watched the squirrels. It was so nice. I think we'll probably start going every Saturday. Here are the pictures to prove it. :)
He liked to pick flowers and rip off the petals...
This isn't the most flattering but I had to note the difference in skin color between Zac and I. He is about 10 shades darker than me. I don't understand becasue he literally spends ALL day inside, while I spend at least an hour or two outside almost everyday with Teagan. Yet, I'm still albino...I wonder if I'm a vampire...probably.

I go to the bathroom for one minute and.....

Teagan:
Oh no, She caught me with the cookies

The suspense is killing me, is she going to let me keep eating these cookies?!?!

She let me keep eating...YESSSSS....

I love cookies

The Beach

We went to the beach Saturday afternoon and it was so nice. It was sunny and warm, not quite hot enough to actually go in the water, but we enjoyed digging a giant hole and just playing around.
I guess they've been shipping in new sand so they had these HUGE mounds of sand along the coast. Teagan loved to climb them and then run back down with us. I think we enjoyed it quite a bit too.

I felt like a little kid again seeing how fast I could run to the top and then jumping off the huge heap. There is something about acting like a child that is so liberating. I love to just run and play with no worries. We got to forget the stress of school, tests, tutoring, babysitters, money and everything else that comes with life and just have some good FREE fun! Now we are pumped with optimism and ready to take on the new week. I love living by the beach!

I'm a PC and I'm 23

Well I had a birthday yesterday and it was great. Thanks everyone for the phone calls, facebook messages and presents. It was such a great day. I got to hang out with my mom and Teagan all day and then Zac came home early and we had cake and ice cream and very homemade enchiladas (a post is to come about these).

Teagan wanted to sit on my lap when I was looking through the pics and movies and he just sat there. I got a brilliant idea to make a movie of my birthday. It only took like 10-15 minutes they are making computers pretty easy to use these days! I didn't add music because I knew it would take too long to pick out a good song, but enjoy my birthday video (mostly of Teagan since he does the cutest stuff!)

The only thing worse than cockroaches

I was wiping the counters today when a crab came crawling out from under a pan! At first I was disgusted, but then I saw an opportunity for business. I'm going to be selling crabs and their appendages as accents...

For the office:
and for the home:
Please let me know if you're interested. We will include the meat as a bonus when you buy two or more.

Don't want to Forgets

Teagan has been doing some cute and funny things that I don't want to forget so I'm journaling:

1. At night time when I rock Teagan I sing songs to him and he has been singing along with me lately. Sometimes he will have his eyes closed and just be singing SO loud. It takes everything in me to hold back from laughing and keep singing.

After I lay him down he talks to himself in bed for a while and the other night he kicked out one of the bars of his bed. Hopefully he doesn't figure out that he fits through the hole until we get his new bed!
2. Daddy's boy! Teagan is more than attached to Zac these days. If Zac is home, Teagan HAS to be right next to him. He won't come to me, even if I try to bribe him with his bubba. They have so much fun together. If Zac even moves towards the door without Teagan, Teagan drops everything and runs for Zac crying. It is a little challenging, because this prevents Zac from being able to study at home, which means he comes home less, which means Teagan gets more clingy...it's a vicious cycle.So handsome and matching (by accident) for church...they even both have drool on their fronts. :)

3. My big Helper. Teagan loves to help me. He loves to help take out the trash. I always get the kitchen garbage and he gets his diapers. He also enjoys mopping and sweeping, stirring, and folding laundry. He's mostly counterproductive at this point, but its fun to have his company so I don't mind refolding towels a few times.
4. Mr. Signs. Teagan is learning so fast these days. Yesterday he started consistenly signing "please" when he asks for something. About a week ago we started trying to teach the sign for please, but he got confused and when we said "say please" he would virgorously nod his head. When he really wanted something he would grab us and start nodding...so funny, but I love that he knows the actual sign now.

He also has learned the sign for "milk" really well. When ever he is thirsty he runs to the fridge and starts clenching his fist (that's the sign) until I give him his sippy. It is so nice to know what he wants.
He really likes putting food on his head, especially squishy food like peaches, pb&j and tonight's mushrooms. It is funny.

other items:
-he goes down the slide by himself and LOVES playgrounds in general
-he can identify his body parts (nose, belly button, toes, mouth, head/hair)
-he loves animals and their sounds and tries to make them. We will post a video soon
-he loves books. He has a firetruck book with lots of different things on each page so I say "where's the _______" and he points. he is entertained with that book for EVER.
-he is down to 1 nap :(
-He has 3 of his molars almost completely in
-he got super sick this week and had a fever of 103.8 at one point. He does NOT like cool baths he had a few. He has an ear infection and had a bad reaction to the antibiotics...he is currently on benedryl to make his polka dots go away. I am optimistic about this week, there is NO way it can be worse than last week :)
-Teagan misses his aunts, uncles, cousins, g-mas and g-pas and is excited for a visit soon!
