Farmers Market

The Farmers Market is so inspiring.  We did a lot of gardening this year and look forward to growing new things next year.  We even had tomatoes from last year pop up (we know because they are much bigger than the baby tomatoes we planted).  They aren't ripe yet!

This was a Saturday Santa Monica Farmers Market this summer and Kelli joined us.

Always stop to smell the flowers.

Swimming and the Farmers Market

On Saturday, we went to the Santa Monica College pool with two of my friend's from school. We swam and ate and had so much fun. The air was cold, but the warm was nice and spicy.

Sunday was a fun day at the Farmers Market. The goats had two litters of baby goats....one was 3 1/2 weeks and the other was 2 1/2 weeks. We fed them and watched them snuggle.

Sunny Family Day Sunday

Almost 80 degrees....January.

We are so lucky to live here in Southern California. Today, we ventured out to the Sunday Farmers Market. We haven't done that in quite awhile. We got going a little late because the buggy for Jordan who was close to his nap time had a flat and needed to be fixed.

So, we got to the market JUST in time for me to ride "Millie" (what we call Camille) one time.

After the market, we continued our bike ride down to the pier and rode the ferris wheel and couple of other rides. Here is our view from way up there.

Can you tell Jordan wasn't a huge fan of the Carousel? He was trying to figure it all out and when it got going fast, he started to cry....which is funny because even his first ride on a real pony, he wasn't scared.

We love family day Sunday.....except, that it is the day before the school/work days start over.

Farmers Market Sunday On My New Bike!

Jordan rode along with Mama and I was on the back of Daddy's bike on my NEW bike! I love it. I get to peddle or relax if I get tired. No more bike seat for me!

I got a beautiful unicorn painted on my face at the Farmer's Market and Jordan crawled around while listening to the band.

And, then another Sunday nap with my Jordan.

Mama gardened while we napped, but Jordan didn't nap for LONG!

Farmers Market Sunday by Bike (yet again, but with friends)

On Sunday, we invited Merrick and his Mom and Dad to the Farmer's Market by bike. Well, actually, we invited them on a bike ride and the Farmer's Market was my idea as we were just approaching it along the beach.

Bonus! Not only were there ponies but there was also a petting zoo and Jordan loved it!

After the market, we rode back to Venice for lunch, but I fell asleep. After lunch, Jordan also fell asleep!

Jordan is 11 months old today!

Jordan and Mama spent the weekend without me and Daddy. We went to Florida on Thursday to visit Mema and Pepa. We have spent time visiting, swimming, drawing and today, I went and bought gifts for everyone. I made an extra one for Mema and wrapped it especially for her. We skyped with Mama and Jordan every day. Above is a picture of Jordan with my friend when we went to her house last weekend to play.

On Friday, when Carmen came, Jordan was fascinated with the paper towel on the other side of the window. He kept trying to grab and touch it. So sweet.

Mama and Jordan went out to eat a few times this weekend. They went to the Venice Whaler for a "drink" (well, Jordan slept while Mama socialized with other mommies who went to Mommy Nights). And, then the next day they went back while Jordan was awake for lunch and the beautiful view of the ocean.

Jordan is getting 4 teeth all at once. First the two next to his 2 front teeth have been coming in for quite awhile and now you can see his two front teeth. They are so slow to come in. Jordan has his fingers and everything he puts his hands on in his mouth and tonight, he didn't have much for dinner because his teeth hurt so much.

Before bedtime, Jordan went for a walk with Mama and Camille.....they stopped at the Rizzis and Jordan wanted to get out to play with Rebecca, Isabella and James. He was crawling all over the sidewalk and hilarious when he went over a bump in the sidewalk. He lifted his right leg to get over it instead of plowing through. (Mama will get it on video).

Jordan loves going for rides with Mama on the bike. They went to the Mar Vista Farmers Market and Jordan was passed out on the way back.
