Streetcar Nationals

Jeff has been doing some interior and fabrication work on a 1938 Chevy Sedan for his friend's dad and so we decided to go with them to the Streetcar Nationals in Pueblo on Sunday morning. I think the cutoff was 1948, which was really neat because you knew that most of these cars had many many hours of work put into them!


We had good time walking through the cars. We each had our favorites, even Jacinda. She seemed to like all the purple and blue cars regardless of make and model (apparently her colors of choice that day). Most days she only picks out the yellow things. Not so happy girl...

Our Move

Last weekend we moved to a rental house, for $400 less and more than double the room that we had. We are so happy and Jacinda is really enjoying the space, the backyard and proximity to Grandma and Grandpa's house- we are just around the corner and have already made a few trips in her new wagon. If I haven't sent you our new address, send me an email or post me a comment and I'll get it to you!

Jeff's Birthday

Normal birthday pictures for Jeff don't exist.

For Jeff's Birthday we decided to have Sunday early dinner at PF Chang's with Jacinda. She was ok at the beginning but then got tired very quickly and wouldn't sit still. This was exactly why we went when the restaurant would not be crowded! For the few other patrons that were there, she made up for her fussiness when she waved and said "Bye" to everyone we passed on our way out. On Monday, Jeff's actual birth date, June 1, we had leftovers and some cheesecake. Jacinda practiced saying, "Happy Birthday, Daddy" quite a bit before the day and said it really well a couple of times, but ofcourse never when Jeff was actually there.

Memorial Day Weekend

With summer here and camping in July, we bought Jacinda her own Dora lawn chair. She is very cute with it, pulling and pushing it around, inspecting it and practicing getting in and out of it.






She recently decided rather than sit on the seat of her car, sit IN the car.






On Memorial Day we went over to Mark and Janet's new house for a BBQ and housewarming. She liked sitting at the table and pushing the cars back and forth to Great-Uncle Jerry, our favorite uncle.





That same weekend we also bought her a little baby doll stroller and she loves it. She goes around and around and around!
