Overdue on Christmas Week & New Years Goings-On...

Christmas week was a whirl-wind this year... mainly because all 3 of us had a horrible head cold. Perfect timing, right?! Regardless of being sick, we were determined to have a fabulous holiday weekend. We celebrated on Christmas Eve and Christmas day with Jen's parents, Art & Joy. Lots of holiday music, tons of good food and plenty of unwrapping for the lil' man. As you can see from the pics below, though, Ben had more fun with the boxes and 'popcorn' filler rather than the actual gifts. Perhaps next year he will be more interested in the actual toys???

Merry Christmas from Monterey!

Wishing everyone the merriest of Christmases, the happiest of Hanukkahs and the happiest of New Years!

Merry Christmas Eve, Love Ben

SCU Holiday Party, Part 2

It always sounds like a great idea to line all the sweet little kids up on the couch for a picture. Sure, great idea... until...

 Ben Bolger decides to dive bomb the rest of the quiet little couch sitters. Yep, his Dad was so proud that Ben has picked up crowd surfing early. This pic below doesn't quite capture the full dive but it was quite the spectacle. None of the other kids had any clue what was about to happen.

 Our favorite doctor in the whole world, Dr. Koontz!

 Mama Koontz and Khloe, both blonde beauties for sure :)

 Just back from their Hawaiian honeymoon, Katie & Ben were still glowing and tanned... perfect for the stormy, grey weather in the Bay Area.

Fabulous friends and Amazing Memories = Happy Bolgers

Annual SCU Holiday Party

This Sunday was our annual holiday party and gift exchange with our SCU besties! A few faces were missing but we had such fun at the Drogin's amazing new home in San Mateo.

 It was such a change to have the adults nearly outnumbered by toddlers. Just a few years back, there were no babies to speak of... yet. We met the most wonderful life long friends at Santa Clara and always so look forward to our annual holiday get together.

 Baby Khloe Koontz and Big Boy Jake Goines are going to be some of Ben's besties down the line... perhaps when they all go to SCU for college?! (hint hint)

 Bro-mance??? (Both Ben & Khloe look thrilled, don't they?)

Ben was beyond enamoured with Mama Beck in a major way. She does have two little boys and definitely has good baby ju-ju. Plus, he has a thing for tall blondes...

Stay tuned for more pics tomorrow...

Rainy Day Weekend

The rain was relentless this weekend and there aren't too many indoor activities to keep an active boy interested. Lucky for us, My Museum is just down the street. It is this great interactive kid's museum with different 'scenes' based on living in the Monterey Peninsula.

One of Ben's favorite areas is the farmer's market/farming area. It's always pretty tough to get him off of the tractor.

 Here Ben's playing in the video store waiting in the check in area for people to return their videos.

 Just what every mother wants... a doctor for a son! All kidding aside, this is a life sized version of the game operation with the buzzing and all. All in a days work!

Rain Rain, Go Away! Please...

Summertime in December

Hey there Bolger Blog followers, Jeff here. (No these are not pictures from last summer, this was last weekend...). The weather today was amazing. Near 70 degrees, Blue Skies... So we decided to take Ben to the beach. We rarely get days like this, even in the summer!
