A few more from the ballpark

outside the gates they just added orange lights along the 24 palm trees (24 for Willie May's number, just a little at&t park knowledge for you)

We bought a Panda hat last night, the Giants have a player named Pablo Sandoval aka Pandoval or Kung Fu Panda and they now sell all kinds of Panda stuff. We all took pictures in the hat last night but mine and Tim's didn't come out =( Oh well both boys took cute pics in the hat.

A night at the ballpark

Yesterday we went to a Giants game for our anniversary. We weren't going to take Darren since it was a bobble head game and you have to go to those ones hours early in order to get the giveaway, but at the last minute we decided to take him. Good choice, he was great at the ballpark. Perfect during the game and great the hour standing in line for the Joe DiMaggio San Francisco Seals bobble head. He is such a little gamer!
Every picture we took last night he would open his mouth. As soon as we took the picture he would laugh, it's like he knows he is not giving mommy good pictures for the blog!
Enjoy all the open mouth pictures!

Oh yeah and Darren had on his Giants gear under his niners jacket, we were trying to support both teams since both played last night. Too bad the luck only went to the Niners.

new discovery

A couple weeks ago, we discovered a trail at the end of our block. We took the boys there today and they loved it. It's just a simple trail that we think stretches about a mile in both directions. Always nice to find a new spot to take the boys for walks.

After our walk Darren kept trying to get Baron to walk around the house but Bare was exhausted and wanted nothing to do with it. So Darren decided it was the perfect opportunity to give the dog love without any fight from him.

rubber duckies

Darren loves his rubber duckies (only about half of his are in this picture!). He has just recently started lining all of them up and then making ducky noises to them, so cute!

San Francisco Giants

We went to the Giants game 2 weeks ago and had a lot more pictures but a bad baby, who shall remain nameless, deleted all my pictures except this one! Oh well at least this picture is a good one =)

San Jose Giants

Last night we went to a San Jose Giants game with my Uncle Jorge and his girlfriend Lilia. The game was fun and even better that the free tickets from my work came with free BBQ as well! Darren, who is a pretty picky eater at the moment, even surprised me and ate almost a whole hot dog and bun. He later tried a churro for the first time and LOVED it (who doesn't)!

The San Jose Giants are a lot more of an open atmosphere so we sat in the front row of the bleachers and Dare was able to run around and play the whole time. We had a great time despite our team getting the loss. On the bright side Daddy bought Darren a San Jose Giants rubber ducky to add to his growing collection (he is VERY into his rubber duckies lately).

about to cause tons of trouble....

You would think I would have stopped what was about to happen but had my camera on hand already. Baron was quick to run off so I didn't get an after shot. But it ended in Deiter laughing hysterically and Baron jumping on our bed where D couldn't reach him for about an hour!
Look at the mischievous little look and Darren's face! He got told no and then stood by the bed trying to reach up and pet Baron, Baron was of course not really having it, hence the staying away for an hour! Gotta love em'!!

Oakland Zoo

Daddy and Darren went to the Oakland Zoo last week with cousins Lily and Emma and Grammy and Pops. I was so bummed I didn't get to go for Darren's first trip to the zoo, but my work was offering really good deals on season passes so we have a whole year to enjoy it.
From what I hear they all had a great time and spent tons of time exploring everything the zoo has to offer. Looking forward to getting to go back with them!

D pointing at the animals, so sweet!

Baby Shower!

On Saturday my family threw me an awesome baby shower. We felt so loved and have the best friends and family that came to support us. We had the shower at our house so that everyone would get a chance to see our place too, it was so much fun! These are just a couple pictures from my camera but there are lots more to come. Thank you Mom, Maureen, Julie and Kim for the baby shower and thank you again for everyone that came.

Darren even got some big brother gifts so he wouldn't feel left out!
