The presents

More presents!

  On Saturday we had Jake's 1st birthday at Granny Jo Jo's house.  Our lucky little man was surrounded by all the people who love him.  Family and friends(family to us) came from far and wide to be here for Jake's big day.  People came from Laguna Beach, Mariposa, Manteca, and Escalon.  He may not understand how lucky he is to have so many people love and adore him, but we do.  

The party was a big success, even though it was really hot(good thing it was a pool party!) Auntie Carrie made the most adorable shark cupcakes, we played in the pool,  ate lots of food(great orzo salad Sarah), opened presents, and had yummy dessert. The best part was being with all the people we love.

Jake's Birthday

So, okay there has been a little delay after our blog began--mid-year resolution is to be better about that.  Today is Jake's 1st birthday and, while Jake doesn't seem to get the milestone yet, we couldn't be happier.  Saturday will be the big party but today we still had to do the birthday thing on his birthday.   Jake tried to put out the candle with his hand but he didn't need any help with the cake.  Not too much ended up on the floor for Maggie to take care of.

Welcome

Welcome to the Ross Family Trio Blog.  We are new to this but we're going to give it a go.  I thought this might be a good picture to start with, you can't beat hanging out with Jake on the beach.  Currently we're watching Jake trying to crawl but the way he lifts himself up I think he might walk first.  His bottom two teeth are in and the top two are peeking through.  I'll do my best to get some up to date pictures and video on here.
