My heart goes out to Cohen's family, I cannot imagine what they are going through.

Please keep Cohen's family in your prayers, especially today, as today is Cohen's memorial service.

He did it!!

This studly beast graduated from the Fire Academy on Sunday

... and I couldn't be more proud of him!

It was so special to see Josh and his classmates graduate after all of their hard work and long hours!

Josh's dad (and family) came which was extra special for Josh, his dad (who has been a firefighter for 22 years) is one of the main reasons Josh wanted to even get into firefighting.

Our little family after the ceremony!

* isn't Jay getting so big!?!

And I must confess... I may have shed a tear or two... I'm just so proud of Josh!

Mariners Game

On Thursday my boys and I headed off to the Mariner's game to meet up with some friends and the weather was PERFECTION! The ferry ride over to Seattle was gorgeous... I cannot tell you how much I've been lovin' the sunshine that we've been having!

(Me, Josh, Jesse, Veronica & Jayden, Adam, Celena)

Our friend's Jesse and Veronica were up from Arizona for a wedding so we took advantage of their visit and got the gang together. Josh, Jesse and Adam all went to school together and were groomsmen in our wedding. I've know Celena since 4th grade, she and Adam met when they were in our wedding and have been dating ever since! It was so fun to hangout and Jay was on his best behavior.

and Jay is apparently getting over being camera shy...

F-A-F-O...

So my good friend, Fafo, from college was on America's Got Talent last night. When Faf told me he was going to be on the show I knew, if nothing else, it would be entertaining and what do you know... Fafo didn't disappoint!! If you didn't get a chance to see him well then here you go:

hahaha! you're welcome ;)

six months old already?!

Today my sweet little man is 6 months old and I cannot believe how fast the months are flying by!! Jayden had his 6 month check-up today, we got the green light to start baby food and he's in the 91st percentile for height and weight! He also got a bunch of shots today, poor little guy. I think the shots hurt me more than they hurt him, he started crying and looking @ me like, "Mom! Help!!" :( Jay's pediatrician was surprised by how talkative he is, wonder where he gets it?! ;) I'll do a 6 month post with milestones and such once we take this month's picture in his crib [I didn't forget Auntie Kristen... I know you are chompin' at the bit for it :)]

Poor little boy is all tuckered out from his shots!

We've got a big day @ the Ball Park tomorrow... we're going on a triple date (+ Jayden) to the Mariner's game with two of Josh's high school friends and their ladies, so that should be fun! Oh, and make sure to catch Fafo on America's Got Talent tonight!! Not too sure what to expect from that crazy boy...

Top2Tuesday: Reality Shows

This Top 2 Tuesday's topic is: Top 2 Reality TV shoes you would be on...

1. Dancing with the Stars

I love LOVE Dancing with the Stars and I think I could kick some celebrity booty!!

I just know I would have a blast with the snazzy outfits and spray tans… I mean, everybody looks better with a tan… right?! Plus, I think a mirror-ball trophy is just what we need on top of our mantle ;)

2. WIPEOUT

My friend, Ashley, and I are always DYYYING of laughter when we watch WIPEOUT!! It’s not even so much the wipeouts that we’re laughing out but the crazies that they have going through their obstacle courses. I would have so much fun trying to master their challenges, we’re always strategizing how we could finish each challenge and I think we would do pretty well… at least that’s what we say from my couch ;)

Hopefully this wouldn't be us...

but, either way I think it would be a blast to try out the course!!

Head over to visit Taylor @ The Undomestic Momma and tell us what your Top 2 are!!
