Seth is growing so big! He is rolling over now. I put him down for a nap today and when I heard him wake up, he was on his tummy! No accident here. Just pure skills! =-) He brings his two little hands together now as well and squeels with delight when I tickle him. Today was the first day that I put him in his little excersaucer. I think he liked it....at least for a few minutes! Yesterday we went to Aunt Nina's house and Seth got into the pool and hot tub for the first time. He did not like the pool, even though it was over 90 degrees outside, and the pool was 86! Later I gently and slowly put him in the hot tub with me. We dunked a little and came out a little so it wasn't so shocking. He loved it and stayed in there for some time! He went about 8 hours without eating last night and only woke up for a short period when we came home and transfered him from carseat to crib. Hope he does that again tonight! For the most part, he goes 3-4 hours between feedings at night.

Hannah starts Cheerleading with the Jr. Bulldogs this week. She is really excited. It will be really intense and since this is her first year, she will have to work really hard to catch up to other girls, but I know she can do it! Joseph is still doing swim team. He really seems to like it and is getting stronger in the water. Anthony took his A+ certification test and passed! He one of 10 out of 30 that got to take the test and one of 3 to pass and get certified.

Things are good here for us. Hope all is well with you!

Raiderettes

Hannah's cheer team got a chance to meet two of the Raiderettes today. Here are a few pics. Seth is quite the ladies man! Starting early.....

Updates

Well, we are in for a few hot days. Wednesday is supposed to be 103! I guess that is a good day to stay inside and catch up on my laundry! We were supposed to be in Santa Cruz today, but Hannah came down with a cold. Friday and Saturday she had a fever that went as high as 101.9. She is better now, but still not 100%. Hopefully we all won't get sick.

Seth started making rasberries on Saturday. He is also starting to put his hands together and is starting to reach for things with purpose. I think he might be left handed. It seems like he has more control over his left hand and uses it a bit more. We'll see. Today, I moved his crib into my room. Since he still wakes up at night to nurse, I thought it would be better to have him in my room. Oh, who am I fooling......I just can't stand to be far away from him. He is taking his first nap in my room, in his crib right now! Okay, time to go for now. Take care!

4th of July Weekend

Well, I just got back from putting Anthony on his plane back to 29 Palms. This weekened went by too fast. Hannah, Seth, and I picked him up on Thursday night. His flight came in about 5:30pm. We were stuck in traffic heading out of the city. I think it took us an hour to get across the bay bridge! Wasn't too fun, but at least we were together. After stopping to get In-n-Out for dinner, we got home at about 9 o'clock. Sirena, Daniel, and Sarah came over to see our Marine. Poor guy was tired and crashed on the couch while everyone watched t.v. and ate Taco Bell. =-) He had to get up early that day (0430) and go on a 4 mile run!

Friday (7/3) I made a big pot of Borscht for Anthony. It was soo good and was 1/2 gone by the end of the day! He did a couple of errands and drove his truck around a bit. Dad let him drive the Monster truck for the weekend as well. He watched some movies with friends and family.

The 4th of July was spent at home. Daniel and Anthony parked trucks at a spot downtown to save room for us to watch fireworks. He had his friends come over and we bar-b-qued ribs. I made home made macaroni salad and sopa......sooo yummy! This was also Seth's first 4th of July! We watched fireworks downtown and got stuck in traffic for about 45 minutes. So fun....not!

Today I made a big breakfast for us all, then I made 2 loaves of banana bread. One to eat and one for Anthony to take with him to the desert. It was so good. We left at about 5pm and got to the city in record time. We thought we would hit traffic but we didn't. We were so early we went to dinner at Lyon's near the airport. Poor guy didn't want to leave. Hopefully we will see him next month if we make it down there, and then see him again in September here at home for Labor Day.

Seth rolled over from tummy to back twice tonight! I tried to get it on camera but the third time he didn't do it. It was on the bed so I'm not sure if it was a fluke or the real thing. I will try tomorrow on a hard suface. =-) He is so cute lately. Smooshie is the new nickname we have for him because he is squishy and soft.

Joe starts water Polo tomorrow with Dallas. I will try to get some of that on film. Maybe he will be good at it and get a scholarship out of it someday! We'll see! Hannah has been a big help for me with the baby. She was wonderful with him on the trips to and from San Francisco. Thanks Hannah!

I will post some pics of the weekend! Hope all is well with you all!

Exciting day!

Anthony is coming home today! I pick him up at 5pm from the San Francisco airport! We are so excited to have him home for the 4th of July! He will be here through the end of Sunday. Hopefully I will have a family picture done on the 4th and will post it then! It is 10am now..... 7 more hours till I see him! Have a great day and a wonderful 4th of July!
