Mosaic Park

In Danville there is this park with a mosaic tiled snake going back and forth down a hill. We went there! The snake was not what it cracked up to be, but the park was unique and it was a beautiful day in January. Plus In-N-Out is down the street.






I think my kids look really cute. I guess I am biased. Nolan was going down the slide, just laughing his head off. They are growing closer each day. I love this.

Nolan is now 13 months, wait, what??? Yeah, that is right, where did the time go? Bubs is crawling marathons every day and starting to stand up. No steps by himself though. Maybe next month? His eating is getting better since I stopped giving him so much milk. He is sleeping really well at night, as long as he isn't sick! He loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Baby Beethoven. He is such a happy boy and blessing in our home.

Reagan is quite the hilarious chicky. She loves all things Tinkerbell and rocking out to the song "I Gotta Feeling" by Black-Eyed Peas. She is also known to break out dancing when the intro music to The Office and NCIS comes on. We love this. She is our little singer and usually is giving her own performance to the other customers at Safeway and Costco. The other day she was picking out a "prize" at Chuck-E Cheese with her tickets and lo and behold, she picked the toy microphone. She sure loves Nolan and is quick to help me out with him. She still loves riding bikes and playing with her dolls. She needs a haircut, maybe my next post will contain more info on that.

How about The Office? Andy Bernard, aka 'Nard Dog, is sure pulling out the chops. He is stealing each episode for me, love his character. And Kelly, who like Andy used to annoy me, makes me laugh. I am glad Jim is through as co-manager. Next new episode, March 4th after the Olympics, is called THE DELIVERY....you can probably guess what that will entail. What will the JAM baby be called? We might need a new moniker for them. I can't wait for that episode, go fast rest of February! Speaking of other shows, how about Vampire Diaries, huh? I know I am probably speaking to only Bethany, Lindsey and Loni since pretty much no one else watches the show or will admit that they do ;) Poor Damon, poor Grams, Bonnie sure acted that one well. I was in tears at the end. I found the whole opening of the tomb anti-climactic without Katherine down there. But I do think the writers were smarty pants for doing that, it will open up many future storylines that will be most interesting. I have a feeling that we will meet Katherine one day...I just know :)

We ended up trying a new place for Valentines Day Eve (Saturday night). Elephant Bar, here in Concord. It was really good!! I think we found a new favorite place. Matt and I walked the mall and read books at Barnes and Noble. Our perfect date night :)

I was feeling a little nuts one day and signed up for a half marathon on June 5th. I am nervous and excited for this one. Two weeks ago I upped my runs from 3 miles to 6 miles overnight and since then, have had some knee aches. Runners knee, maybe? I took it easy, feeling good, strengthened my quads and now I will probably take it a bit slower and build it up. If you know any good running tunes, let me know, my ipod needs well over 2 hours worth of music!

Love to you all!

-the kids are adorable and i miss them. can't wait to see you all in july!

Wish we were closer so we could see the kids more often (and the parents). We need the Cougars to get sent to San Jose for the tournament so we have an excuse to come up! We also love the Elephant Bar - it doesn't matter what you're craving because they have a little bit of everything.

Well honestly the fact that your daughter dances to the intro music to NCIS doesn't suprise me. I believe the last time we were out there, her mother danced wildly to the intro while watching the marathon haha she's just following in her mom's footstep's ;)

Yay on the half marathon, you're not crazy, you can do it!! Get a good training schedule though, that way you won't be tempted to try to push yourself too fast! I used Hal Higdon's. Good luck!

You may only be speaking to me about Vamp Diaries, but I am so listening. I LOVE that show! I am dyiiiiinnnng that it's going to be on hiatus for several more weeks. And I love Damon. I don't care that he's a killer...he's just awesome.

I usually listen to podcasts when I go running (this is Nate posting, by the way). I find it's easier to take my mind off how many miles are ahead of me if I have to pay attention to what's being said.
