skipping ahead a little... Christmas pics

I know, I know. I just posted about Halloween and now I am jumping ahead to Chrismtas. I promise I will fill in the holes soon, but we had our Christmas pics taken today and I wanted to share them:

Jason, Jayden, Nikki and Baby Girl J


Close up :)

Cutest boy in the world! (I am not putting the *cutest* pic up though.... you'll have to wait till you get your cards in the mail!!!)

So...Merry early Christmas from la Familia Jimenez!

Pumpkin Patch time!

On Sunday mommy and papi took me to the pumpkin patch. I got to ride on a hayride, pick a pumpkin from a real patch, pet some baby pigs and baby bunnies, run around, get dirty... it was a great afternoon!

Here is mommy and I at the farm:
Here I am playing on the hay after the hayride:

Mommy, I don't want to sit with the pumpkins and take a picture this year!

But this tractor is kind of cool....

Yup, I like this thing!

What? It's just a boy and his pumpkin! Nothing to see here!

I like this one mommy! And I'm a big boy, I will carry it all by myself!

YAY! Look at me! I love this place!

Mommy and I liked the hay ride!

First getting on the hayride... I wasn't quite sure where we were going!

Jayden cuteness

One of my favorite things to do is read. The other day, mommy was doing laundry, and all of a sudden noticed that the house was very very quiet... so she wandered around the house looking for me. And she found me, in my room, being a very good boy! I was just sitting in my rocking chair, reading my book. I love to read!

Of course I was so cute, and mommy was so proud of me, that she just had to take some pics!

When I'm not reading my Sesame Street books, I sit on my Sesame Street couch and watch Sesame Street on tv. I love my couch!

More Jayden cuteness

Jason was away in Montreal all weekend, so mommy & Jayden had to keep each other entertained. It was so nice out, so why not spend the weekend at the park!

Water park fun!

Hello? Who's this? clearly a very important call :)

Styling and profiling on the way to a birthday party :)

Handsome man, cheesing for the camera! He gets it from his mama :)

And this wasn't this past weekend, but I keep forgetting to post. Jayden's first kiss! This is his girlfriend, she is 10 months old, and is the daughter of the QB of Jason's team. Jason, what are you teaching your son!?!?!?

LOL they kissed like 10 times. The little girl kept grabbing his cheeks, and Jayden just kept kissing her. So cute!

Random videos

Here is Jayden, eating corn... or something like that :) Dinnertime fun!

And this is a super short video, but if you check it out, you can see Jayden's first egg head bump. Right in between his eyes, a big bump. He fell into a bookcase, head first, last week. Mommy was more upset than Jayden.... I guess boys will be boys!

Riding a horse

For Jayden's birthday, he got his very own rocking horse from grandma and grandpa. Mommy was less than thrilled, since it takes up room in the already toy filled living room and of course plays lots of music.... but Jayden loves it! Here he is riding his horsey and having fun :)

Daycare fun!

Jayden LOVES going to daycare. It gets him away from his crazy parents, and he gets to spend the day with other kids. Here are some pics of him and his adventures:

Climbing! Our monkey loves to climb :)

Trying out the potty:

Riding the bike with the big kids!

Having some fruit:

Going down the slide at the park:

Jayden's favorite nap spot:

Climbing again! This is a water table, not supposed to be something to stand on....

and yet, who says you can't stand on it? Not Jayden!

Fast horsey!

Psst... have you heard?

Jayden is going to be a BIG brother! Baby Jimenez #2, ETA sometime mid April, 2010! :)

Jayden- August 2009

Once again, I've been a slacker, but we've been busy so give me a break!! :)
Jayden is doing wonderful, as always- he is running now, and climbing, jumping, just overall being a B-O-Y!!!

One of his favorite things to do is dance. So even though he may look like his papi, he did at least get his moves from his mama! He loves loves loves to dance, and loves music. We'll try to get a video of him dancing soon.

He's had a busy month, here are some pics of what he's been up to:

Just our happy boy and his curly curly hair:

Riding the bike at daycare:

OOPS! I fell over:

Don't worry, I'm ok!

going down the slide like the big kids!

Poor boy has it TOUGH! This is where he takes his naps...

Of course, sometimes he chooses to snooze outside...again, tough life!

And then sometimes, when papi is home alone with Jayden, he sleeps wherever he sleeps. Here he is sleeping on the floor of our office, under the desk chair!

Playing with Kaili:

Playing in the backyard:

A day at the lake!

On Sunday, Jayden's actual birthday, we went up to a beautiful lake in the mountains and had a small BBQ. The day would have been perfect, except for two things: 1- Jason had to work and couldn't come with us! and 2- it was cold! much colder than we thought it was going to be.

But we had fun anyways, and Jayden the beach baby especially loved it.

Here are daddy and Aaron cooking the lunch:

My mom rinsing off Jayden's bum after he got all sandy. Nice smile, Jayden! Nothing like a birthday bum :)

He didn't want to stay still long enough to take this pic... he wanted back in the water!
Playing on the grass and having a snack
And to end an exciting birthday weekend, here is the birthday boy in the tub, getting clean and shiny. What a great way to begin a new year!

Jayden's first birthday party!

Jayden's birthday was Sunday, July 12, but we had a luau cookout on Saturday. We invited lots of people, some of Nikki's friends, some of Jason's friends & teammates, and of course, all of Jayden's 1 year old friends too :) Overall it was an amazing party, just how we'd want our son's first birthday to be :)

Here is our backyard, just as everyone was arriving and eating


Another shot of the backyard, with all the kids toys set up, the baby pool, etc.


Jason, Jayden and I getting ready to open presents.


Here is Jayden tearing into his gifts. He loved ripping the paper!

Opening another gift. The boy was so beyond spoiled, so many gifts!

Ok mom, presents were fun, but where is this cake I keep hearing about?

Jayden's first cake, decorated by his grandma, with his favorite, Elmo :)

Umm... I'm not quite sure what to do with this cake thing...

Oh wait, nevermind, I figured it out! I like this chocolate stuff!!!

And just for fun, these are the "hamburger" cookies I made. They were so fun to make, so cute, and best of all, so yummy!

Game night!

The night before Jayden's party was a home game for the Lions. Unfortunately, we lost the game. BUT we sure did have fun at the game anyway!

Jayden and tio at the game:

Grandpa and Jayden cheering for papi

My parents in their lions' gear

Jayden loves cheering for his papi!

My baby bro and I at the game. As much of a pain in the ass he is, I love my baby bro!

After the game Jason and I took Aaron out to experience some Vancouver nightlife. This is the only pic we took,but we had a good time :)

More family vacay pics...

How old are we? He still cannot take a normal picture with me. Has to give me a hard time EVERY time! I guess that's what little brothers do, right? :)



Jayden and grandpa at the aquarium

Tio Aaron walking with Jayden at the aqaurium. I *think* he loves his nephew!



Another Jayden and grandma pic. They had so much fun together!
And because my poor son has no toys, Tio Aaron took care of this situation. Here he is shopping at Toys r Us. As you can see, that is a ball pit, a pack of 250 balls, and a drum set. Yes, a drum set. All of which were purchased and put together and are now in my living room. Or, what used to be my living room! It's now Jayden's play room, and he's nice enough to let us keep our couch there too.

My parents & brother

So mom & dad came up for their annual trip to Vancouver, and my baby bro decided to make his first trip to see us too. Timing was perfect, since they were here for Jayden's birthday. Here are some pics from their trip:

The first morning they were here, my mom & I ran a 10K together. We mostly walked, because we were talking the whole time :) We hadn't seen each other for 6 months!

Jayden and his grandma at lunch on 4th of July

Jayden's first trip to the aquarium. He loved the fishies!

Saying good morning to his Tio Aaron first thing in the morning:

Jayden's favorite place to be. His own little Elmo couch, with his bottle full of milk. Life is good!

Busy busy month!

Wow, I cannot believe a month has gone by since I last updated the blog. The month honestly flew by, between Jason coming home from camp, my parents and brother coming up for a visit, and of course the biggest news- our little man turned 1! He is no longer a baby, that's for sure. I am going to upload a bunch of pics of my parent's trip and his birthday party... and promise to try to keep the updates coming!

Family Day with the Lions

Yesterday Jayden and I drove out to camp to see Jason and spend some time with the whole Lions family for the annual family day & fan fest. Jayden decided this was the perfect day to perfect his walk, so he is now fully up and mobile!! Here are some pics from the day:

Yummy apple!

Smile for mommy!

Just hanging out!

Mommy and Jayden

Trying to get some more yogurt melts out of the stroller. The kid is ALWAYS hungry!

My favorite picture of my two boys, EVER! SO cute! :)

Happy to see his papi!

Not quite sure why papi is wearing that thing on his head...?
