Leaping Leapfrog!

My friend just called me to let me know she was shopping on the LeapFrog website and noticed Wesley's photos in an online demo and webpage. These are from the toybox he did when he was 3 years old. The gift that keeps on giving! This actually may entitle him to residuals! (which would be cool!)

A Day Out With Thomas & More

Yesterday we ventured up to Felton, by Santa Cruz, for the Day out with Thomas event. Bryan is really into trains and Wesley is kind of over it all at this age, but he still did enjoy it all. We rode on Thomas, the boys got tattoos and face painting and we went to the boardwalk right afterwards. We went to the beach this morning and checked out some of the sea lions that were barking at the end of the pier. The boys have been imitating them today barking, it's pretty funny. Poor Bryan took a spill last night running on the boardwalk and did a face skid on the cement. End results are lovely scabs over and under his right eye. =( We had a great time though and can't wait to go back to the boardwalk!

Sandisk Ad

Just found this shot of Wesley online. There should be 4 more shots that he's in but I haven't found them yet... 2 of them were Christmas related and the other two had to do with laptops. One was him putting a laptop into a backpack and the other was him typing on a laptop. Keep your eyes out for me! =) I have to say they did an excellent job with casting on this one. The little girl, Isabel, looks just like Wesley!

Poor Noah

We bought Wesley a beta fish a little over 3 years ago at our local Walmart and he had been such an easy pet. We were surprised that the thing managed to live so long. So, bad story, I'm a fish murderer. We were leaving for camping on Saturday afternoon so on Friday I thought it would be a wonderful idea to make a batch of brownies to bring along with us on our camping trip. I was in the kitchen pulling down a stack of heavy mixing bowls (which are glass) and I set them on the kitchen counter rather harshly. Long story short, the big bowl hit the fish bowl and the fish bowl broke. Fish came tumbling across the counter and onto the floor. It was just laying there barely moving so I grabbed a mixing bowl and put water in it really quickly to keep it alive. Apparently the water I used was extremely cold and Noah was fighting for life. I warmed it up a bit with warm water but it was too late. Not sure if he died from the big fall or from the ice cold water.
The interesting thing about this is that Wesley was at his grandma's house when this happened. Jimmie and I were worried how he was going to handle all of this. He actually didn't notice until yesterday, a whole 5 DAYS LATER, that the fish and the bowl were gone. He asked "mommy, uh, where's Noah?" I told him he died and he said "oh."

KOA Camping

We went camping at the KOA in Cloverdale this past weekend. There was a little pond that Wesley fished in for a few hours. He was so determined to catch a fish. He did get one after 3 1/2 hours but it slipped back into the water when Jimmie went to hand it to him, so unfortunately, we didn't get a shot of him with his little friend. There were a couple of resident ducks that we heard quacking at all hours of the night and morning. We ended up having a nice time though.

At Last!

I went to Office Depot today to pick up some shipping supplies and I finally found an SD card for my cell phone! All the pics I've had for the past 5 years have been trapped and they're released from cell phone jail! Here's some pics from Wesley's San Disk Shoot that he did back in Feb!

A Hollywood Star!

So, I know that this blog is about our family and our boys but we just got great news today that one of Wesley's friends, Tyree, just heard from NBC that he has been booked on the Parenthood Pilot with a recurring role. There were 2 other boys in Wesley's acting class and Tyree was one of them, which is how we met him and his family. We're excited for him and his family. NBC will be flying him down to LA for his shoots. Keep an eye out for him this fall! Way to go Tyree!!!
