Family Update

So life here is pretty much the same as usual. Jake goes to work and I stay home with the pets. We did get to go to the beach with Jake's office the other night. We had a bonfire with hot dogs and s'mores. Pretty sweet! The ocean always astounds me every time I see it. Hopefully we'll be able to go more often before the end of the summer! Here are some pictures of the beach trip we took this morning. It was wicked cold at first but got pretty nice by the time we were leaving. On the way home we got stuck in traffic for three hours. Fun eh?? We have the best luck. And here are some more pictures of "the kids." They are getting so big!

What a beautiful day to go to the beach huh?

Boys will be boys. They see a hole and they have to start digging.

We buried Jake! It was quite hilarious to see a random head sticking up out of the sand.

Jitters, back when she had cute ears. Now they just stick up like a normal chihuahua's.

Isn't that just the cutest thing? Jitters loves to cuddle with Jake! He's the only one she'll listen to as well.

Our gorgeous Sphynxy Cat. She's almost full grown!

Bath time for Jitters! She is so tiny!

San Diego Zoo For Real

So we finally did make it to the zoo, and we had a grand ol' time! We had to drive back to San Diego to get our car anyway so Jake took another day off and we went to the zoo. It was pretty much amazing! My favorite animals of the day were the otters. They are just so much fun to watch! The gorillas were awesome as well. So big and such incredible creatures! We were able to see a seal show and got a close look at these enormous cat looking things. One of the best thing about the day was at around 6:00 most of the families went home, so it got less crowded and easier to see some of the animals. If ever you are in San Diego go to the zoo! You won't be disappointed!

There were tons of monkeys at the zoo! This one was my favorite though...

Jake took TONS of pictures of birds. Again this one is my favorite.

The otters. They seriously are the cutest things!

My pet giraffe.

San Diego Zoo Take 1

So Jake took the day off so we could go to the zoo, which is sort of a belated birthday present. We were crazy excited, and after the hour and a half drive to San Diego we were ready to see some wicked awesome animals! Well we got lost and had to turn around, and at about that time our car decided to stop working! The oil pressure light came on and it kept telling us to stop. So we pulled into some ghetto gas station and baked in the sun for over an hour while we waited for a tow truck. In the mean time, Jake was trying to work out our insurance/warranty for the car. It was all very frustrating. But eventually we were towed to the nearest VW dealership where we surrendered our car which we've only had for a month. By this time it was too late to go to the zoo, so we rented a car and drove back home. We're still trying to figure everything out with the car, but hopefully when we pick it up we'll make it to the zoo!

The exciting drive down

Jake's angry eyes. waiting for a tow. We've been married about a month and a half and have been towed twice already.

We did get to see a bird show from some sweet pigeons and finches, so the day wasn't a total loss!
