Cracker Jacks

So, I was recently reintroduced to the wonderful treat of Cracker Jacks. We were on our way to a Dodger game and we didn't have any cash! So, in order to park, we needed $15. We stopped at a CVS Pharmacy to get some water and cash back. While I was standing in line to purchase my water, I saw them...sitting in a pile and my curiosity was piqued. I hadn't tried these since I was about 7 and I associated them with my Grandma T. I am an impulse buyer, and since we were going to a baseball game, I figured I would indulge in this little treat. Well, I am SO glad that I did! Although my surprise inside was just a dumb little pencil topper, the popcorn and peanuts inside were so GOOD! I will now remember this when I am on future long car trips. If you haven't had this delicious indulgence in awhile...go try it!

Trouble

Nathan likes to play in these bins by our kitchen. He pulls everything out one at a time. It is pretty funny to watch. Sometimes he gets this look of mischief on his face.

Trip to Lompoc, CA

On the 19th, Nathan and I went to visit my friend Stephanie and her husband Ronald and their new little boy, RJ.

Sleepy boys

The penlight did the trick (Stephanie and I met while going to Nursing school!)

Playing in the stroller (I didn't want him crawling around on the floor...it worked pretty well. That's one advantage of these huge honking strollers...) :)

We visited the Danish town Solvang while we were there. They live about 40 minutes away from there.

Teeth

I'm just trying to get a picture of his teeth...hehe

And, we were sharing a frozen go-gurt (ogreberry flavor, hence the green), and just had to get a pic of the yummy chin!!
