2013 ALREADY?

Happy 2013!  Sounds so futuristic!  there are tons o pics in this blog- had a wonderful (too short) break. 

I love that we went to the beach in the rain!  so much fun!!!

Cousin love!  Jack wasn't too happy about the sand and Dominic was getting tickeled by Dez-  and the girls, well, they are just super cute!

Dez n boys having a blast

 Thanks to my parents for the Hotel Del Villas- what a way to travel!  Loved the matching del 2012 sweatshirts!  So comfy!!! 

 Dez was super excited about his presents.  Paul bought Dez a "fat suit" i mean a wetsuit that turned into a fat suit since Dez lost about 50lbs after wearing it for 2 days non-stop. 

 Thanks so much for the great gifts!  Supercostumes, cars and books are always welcome and loved!

 Dez is teaching me a thing or two about using technology.

 bummer i can't figure out how to make these pics right side up, but i loved that Dez and Dominic were sitting together on our friend's couch watching cartoons.

Dez and our friend Juliet.  What's up with how kids think they have to smile for pictures?  It would be really cheesy if these kids weren't so cute!

I took the boys to the LA zoo on Sunday.  It was mid 50s and dez refused to wear a jacket, despite begging, pleading and bribing from me.  i welcome any tips on this.  my initial response was "if he doesn't feel cold, he doesn't have to wear a jacket" until i remembered (1) he is 3 ys old and (2) if he gets sick, i am screwed.

I mean CMON!  Dominic is so much personality!!!  he loves this mini chair at my friend Leigh's house.     

Dominic absolutely loved the Zoo- he practically jumped out of the stroller when he saw the elephants.  so awesome to see the excitement and wonder in his eyes!

 ok- he have started Dominic on a weight training program.  1 hour of trampoline jumping a day, juice cleanses, 1 hour weightlifing, etc. 

really, does it get any better than this?  my 2 boys on the kitchen floor pretending they are fire fighters.

 thanks stefi for this!  dez passed out in his costume and yes, he drinks San Pellegrino.  what can i say?  YUPPIES!!!!

Paul and the boys= amazing picture- my three loves in life!
