Happy 3rd Month

You are so chubby. I love, love, love it. You are doing pretty good with staying on schedule so that makes me very happy. You're sleeping consistently 8 hours a night,  but according to Babywise, you should be 10-12. Hmmmm, I know I shouldn't complain. So I'll stop. You're not so grumpy anymore at night so the colic is wearing off. That's a good thing, for everyone. 

Jack loves to place his super heroes next to you as you rest, no matter where it is you fall asleep. I'll find Hulk, Batman, or Ironman right at your side. Afton loves to call you sweetie and fights with me at least once a day because, "I'm so old, MOM. I'm big enough to walk around with her and I can even fly her up in the air." I assure you, that has never happened because we discuss the dangers of that literally everyday.

Your eyesight is improving so much. You smile whenever one of us walks by and that always melts our heart with that beautiful, toothless smile of yours. (Jack's still intrigued by both of you having, or not having any teeth.) Although you haven't laughed or giggled yet, we are still very satisfied with your smile. Your favorite thing to do is take a bath. You kick your legs and wave your hands all over with such joy as you touch the water. It's so fun. Something you don't enjoy its tummy time. Working out is the worst, in your opinion (mine as well), but you have to do it. 

It's so fun to have you in our family. We love you so much and can't imagine our lives without you.
Happy Mother's Day to me
Jack loving you - He can't get enough of you.

Wedding, Mormon Fort, Seaworld, Mission Beach, and Sand Diego ZOO-2013!

It's been a long time since we took this trip, but it was really fun. So... definitely worth documenting.

Wedding
Joel and Shannon showed us where he proposed to her 30 years ago - that's a joke on their age. 
Man it took everything in us to keep them off of each other while we were there.
Ha ha ha.
We went down for a wedding of one of my sugar's classmates. It was a fun time and beautiful event. It was pretty funny how the placement of the Mormon classmates was completely away from the other non-Mormon classmates. (Opposite sides on the dance floor, completely separated - That didn't stop us from having fun. We crossed the dance floor, and spread the Gospel. Ha!)
We were missing some of our Mormon CREW!
Mormon Fort
Jack with all of his wives.
(Come on... it's a little funny!)
Joel volunteered my sugar to be the "helper" during the tour.
Panning for gold.

SeaWorld
Seeing Shamu
Jack was excited to see the show.
Afton enjoyed being drenched by the whales splashing down in the front row with Bella.
Of course we WOULD NOT buy this! So expensive. 
The boys LOVED the video game to help learn about sea turtles.
Touching Starfish and Sea Urchins
 
Some people got to sit in seats to enjoy the dolphin show.
I had to hide down in the corner of the arena holding grumpy Jack to see it.
Touching Sting Rays
The Polar Bear den

Watching an animal show
Jack couldn't handle the animal show. 
 Keeping cool
My sugar

 Mission Beach
This was a fun beach, but nothing like our usual beach house spot. It made me realize how spoiled we have been. I felt like crap the whole time being probably about 6 weeks pregnant, and the smell of seaweed every where was grossing me out. I would like to go back another time so I actually enjoy myself a little more. 

Last but definitely not least, 

San Diego Zoo
We were ready to have some fun. 
 Taking the bus tour was pretty informative!
Monkeys
More monkeys
Just monkeying around
Had to give this up to ride the "Flying Sky Box"
It was such a pretty view of all the areas of the zoo.
Hmmm. -  Interesting placement


We took advantage of all the picture opportunities.
The kids were so good.
They didn't complain once the whole time we were there about how tired they were or how much their feet hurt.

Me... on the other hand.
(I always complain.)
 This was 5 seconds after his seat belt was on.
This was him at dinner, still passed out. 
We were all exhausted.

It was such a fun trip. It's almost been a year since we went (So it's about time I post this.) I love the time we get to spend together as a family. I hope these babies will remember the fun we had on this special trip. There are enough pictures from the trip that they better. :) (This wasn't even half of them.)
