Blues

Isaac took this picture of himself and I LOVE it! His eyes are so baby blue and his lashes look so long!

(Our Lake Havasu trip post is in the making. Warning: There will be a lot of pictures!)

Priorities

 I'm busy doing this...

... So I'll post when I'm done.

Maybe I'll even put some make-up on and do my hair! Yikes!

June 26th - 6 years

Oahu, Hawaii 2004 Honeymoon

This was Shaun's first mistake in our marriage...taking me to Hawaii. I now crave and dream about it everyday!

 Las Vegas, Nevada 2005 1st anniversary

Not the typical Vegas picture. Our hotel was beautiful though. You'd never guess it was right in the middle of the strip!

Maui, Hawaii 2006 2nd anniversary

This was Shaun's second mistake in our marriage... Now it MUST become a tradition to go every other year!

Oceanside, California 2007 3rd anniversary

Pregnant with Isaac

(Can't for the life of me find our pictures from this trip... Just the postcard from where we stayed)

The Big Island, Hawaii 2008 4th anniversary

Keeping the tradition alive...

We waited til Sept to take this trip... It was one month after Shaun had surgery from rupturing his achilles tendon. Poor guy had to hop all over the island.

Big Bear, California 2009 5th anniversary

Pregnant with Parker

Kauai, Hawaii  :( Lake Havasu, Arizona 2010

Pregnant with... Just kidding!

This is Shaun's third mistake in our marriage... Killing the tradition!!!

Mr. Shaun Tyler Higgins, I love you to the moon and back!

Bringing Hawaii to California

 

Sadly, I still can't convince Shaun to take me back to Hawaii this year (yeah, yeah... He bought me another house). However, it's not going to stop me from dreaming I was there. Seeing my boys dressed in aloha/surfer clothes helps to ease my disappointment a little... A very small little!  

Today's Stats

Today Parker had his 6 month check up... Yes, even though he's 7 months and 4 days old! I'm always a month late on shots. I'll push them back as far as I can! No surprises today... Parker is a healthy, growing boy that is still at the top of the charts.

Height: 29 1/2 inches

Weight: 22lbs 15.2 oz. (smaller than I was expecting)

Head: 18 1/2 inches (it didn't get any bigger from his last appt. Yay!!!)

Here are a few pictures of him in the crawling position. He still prefers to scoot and roll everywhere so I don't think crawling will happen til the end of the month or even into July. I'm not as anxious this time around though. I'm enjoying the "let's just sit and play" stage!   

"This is easy mom, I just don't want to do it!"

"Can I just get down and roll to you?"

"Hey, this isn't so bad when big brother joins in!"

 

Isaac wanting to be in every picture possible!

Happy Father's Day!

Pretend City

A few weeks ago we took a trip out to Irvine's imaginarium museum, Pretend City. Isaac absolutely loved it and could have stayed til it closed. It was the perfect place for any little kid with a huge imagination! The place was smaller than I had envisioned but definitely met my expectations. It truly was a kid sized city. From ATMs to mail boxes to road signs to cars that the kids could drive (peddle with their feet) on the roads... This place had it all! Isaac enjoyed all the "boy" activities the city had to offer but didn't care for the "girl" areas. Like the craft studio, the grocery store, and the little cafe. He was all about the police and fire station, the construction site, and the farm. Parker was alert and completely simulated the whole time too. There was no way he was going to take a nap! It was hard enough to get him to nurse with all that was going on. After about two hours Shaun and I were done, not to mention hungry. But, no way was Isaac going to let us leave... Next time, we better bring more food!

Ladies and Gentlemen... I now present... Isaac Higgins!

Daddy time

Mommy time

 

Can we fix it? Yes we can!

Always good for a laugh

 

They had a really cool beach area

Even if being a firefighter, fisherman, construction worker, dancer, police officer, beach patrol, farmer, valet driver, and chicken watcher doesn't work out for Isaac, he can still always count on mommy and daddy being 100% proud of him!
