Christmas in October

Most people know that I have a hard time waiting for christmas. Jono and I always open presents early because I justify it by saying that we should have our own Christmas before we go see family but this year I took it to a whole new level. I decided that I was going to give Kalia her presents early, very early. I wanted to get her a couple of riding toys and I figured why wait until Christmas?? She doesn't know the difference and they will just sit in the closet and go unused. Jono barely even make fun of me, I think he has finally given up.....

Cabo Wabo






We just got back on Tuesday from a cruise to Cabo. It was very fun and our first trip without the baby. Thankfully my parents stayed at our house and helped her 8 year old uncle Syd take care of her. I was pretty stressed about leaving her for the first time and that first day was kind of hard but, as soon as I knew what a good time she was having I was able to relax and have a good time. It was so relaxing and Jono and I had such a fun time together. It was almost scary how quickly I moved back into babyless mode. I went from can't see a baby Kalia's age without crying to, "do I have a baby?" We relaxed and ate a lot and spent a day in Cabo, which was the funnest part. Jono of course practiced his Spanish and I pretended not to hear the locals comment on how good his Spanish was because I knew I would be hearing about it for the rest of the trip. We also went parasailing, which was not scary for some reason, especially because everything is scary to me, it was just relaxing. We had a good time and can't wait to do it again.

Kalia's cousin came to visit....








Kalia's cousin Logan and Aunt Erin came to visit her last week. It was so fun. We went to the LA Zoo, which was okay by the way. I don’t really like the way the zoo is set up. We had a hard time finding all the animals and when we did find them they were asleep and when they were not asleep the strollers were too short to see anything, and it was hot, but other than that it was awesome! Actually, there was a giraffe that we got really close to and got a good picture of. There was also a petting zoo that they liked. We also went to the beach and did some shopping. It felt a little short and felt like there was so much more we wanted to do, maybe next time.......
