My 1st Birthday Party!

We celebrated Reed's FIRST Birthday this past weekend! Bobo and JuJu came into town, along with Reed's Godparents, CoCo and Taylor. We all had a delicious dinner at our house Friday night and then took everyone to our favorite breakfast joint, Cafe Rae, Saturday before we kicked off the festivities down at the Dana Point Harbor. We played some corn-hole, BBQ'ed, opened presents and then it was SMASH time! Reed did quite well....thoroughly enjoyed himself and the mess he made!

What a great weekend and end to an amazing year...can't wait to see what this year will bring for all! We love you little Birthday Boy!!! THIS MUCH.

Happy Birthday to our boy, Reed!

It's been a long time since the last post...but we have a good excuse ;) The Pearson Family has moved from Sandusky, Ohio to Laguna Niguel, California! Brian wrapped up the project at Davis Besse and is now working in Telecoms out of the office in Buena Park, CA. We left Ohio April 23 and had a fabulous and fun road trip out west. Saw friends in Chicago, family in St. Louis, friends in Kansas City, friends in Denver, played in Las Vegas and then made it to friends and family in California! It took about 2 weeks to find a place to live but it was all worth it and we are super happy to be in Laguna Niguel, CA...not too far from where Brian and I met in San Clemente 4 years ago!

Reed is now walking....took his first steps in April but learned to stand up on his own at the end of May and has been running ever since! He has 6 teeth and just said his first word, Da-Da on Monday...the day after Father's Day!!! He is a very happy and energetic boy who loves the outdoors, food and his big brother, Patron. Brian and I couldn't be more obsessed with our little family and we are going to soak up the sun, parks and beach for as long as we are here....or until the next Nuc Plant needs help ;)
