The Aquariam of the Pacific- Long Beach, CA

Today a few friends decided to take all the kids to aquariam. It was so much fun! Jay loved seeing all his friends. Since we all have annual passes we are going to have to go more often!!! Here are some cute pictures, enjoy!

Checking out the sharks.



They all loved this shark tank!


Especially Jay!




Playing on the boat.

It was a great time!

It's POTTY Time!!!

For Christmas from Mom-Mom, Jay got a big boy potty and the Elmo Potty Time video. We had him start watching the video as soon as possible just to get comfortable with the idea. I mean if Elmo does it, Jay would definitely want to right? So yesterday I took the potty out of the box and set it up in the living room. I put it aside thinking we would start the next day. Jay has swim class Mondays and Wednesdays, so we try to stay in a routine on those days especially.
When Daddy got home, much to both of surprise, Jay quietly climbed up on his potty chair in the living room and went potty. We could not believe it. Of course he had his diaper on, but still. He pooped while sitting on the potty. He knows! Wish us luck in hoping that potty training goes easily for us. If he could be out of diapers by the time Lily is born, I will be beside myself.

Happy New Year!!!!!

We hope everyone had a happy and safe New Year's Eve. We are patiently awaiting our biggest, little gift this year. We are excited to continue watching Jay grow and seeing Lily for the first time! Have a wonderful 2008.

Merry Christmas 2007

Christmas was so much fun this year. Jay still didn't know what to make of it all, but we had fun helping him open his gifts.

Here we are just waking up.





After breakfast with the Pollocks we headed over to Grandma Funchie's for presents from Santa.





Jay was much more interested in his Grandma Funchie's piano than opening presents.
Look at the cute plate Stella made for him.






After that we headed to Great Grandma Parrott's for lunch with Uncle John, Aunt Susan, Uncle Randy and Great Grandma, Grandma Funchie, and the Larsons. After more presents, we headed back to the Pollocks for dinner.

We sure missed our family in California, but we had a great day. Hope your holidays was as blessed as ours!!!!

Great Grand-Mama and Great Grand-Daddy Pollock

We spent a few days over Christmas with Jay's Great Grandparents. This was a special trip because it was the first time they had met Jay. Marian, Eric and the girls met us up there for a little special time. It was great to finally have all three grandchildren together!!!!
Here are some cute photos.





I was so excited Stella was going to be there. I wanted to make a ginger bread house so badly. She gave me the excuse to be a little kid again!





We really had a great visit. We miss you already!!!!!

Washington D.C. Dec. 19-22

We decided to kick Christmas off a little early this year, and took a trip to Washington D.C. I have never been. We had a great time. Jay loved having his Daddy to himself for a few days. Some highlights were, Jay climbing the steps to the Lincoln Memorial, the Holocaust Museum, and the Museum of Natural History. We will definitely need to go back, we didn't get to see that much.







My goal is to hit all 50 states before I die. Arendall planned the trip so we could spend the night in Delaware before driving to N.C. We stayed in a quiet little beach town. So we hit Maryland, Virginia, D.C., and Delaware all in one trip.
