Monterey Babymoon

We were spoiled with a weekend in Monterey. 

B stayed home with Grandma Judy (now named Gee).

We had so much fun, sleeping in, eating delicious treats, and relaxing with no agenda.

We had fun playing with my camera too.

I realized I'm never getting to editing these, so I'm just posting before it's too late

Just before we left we had a doc appt. and found out both babies are boys (shocked!). 

We spend much of the weekend discussing what the heck to do with boys.

I have such a studly husband! And he gets sexier with time

 15 weeks pregnant (but this shirt made me look smaller)

Thanks Gee!

Major Rewind

I have been so busy, and have missed sharing so many fun moments these past few months. 

Here's a quick recap of our fun little life (all unedited pix!)

A Great "I Do"

This amazing roommate I had in college has been my BFF since. Time goes by and we pick up right where we left off. She is the most incredible friend with an amazing family. I love her so much and hate living so far from her. But, I was honored to stand my her side this summer as she said "I Do" to an amazing man. This was a wedding that I felt so proud to be a part of because I truly support their marriage 100%. 

I miss her, but I'm so happy for the new Mr. and Mrs.Patterson

A Flash visit

My mom and dad made a quick overnight stop at our home while on a road trip. It was short, but B was spoiled with fresh blackberries, painted toes, and tons of snuggles.

  BUSTED

B had to serve detention 

(cause mommy had an appointment)

Beauty school dropout

(this was all her own work of art)

Fairytale town with the Rozster

  She was in love, and giving kisses to the metal fox

 We ended the day with Berkeley falling into the moat and getting soaked (on a cold day too). 

I laughed and grabbed my camera phone before saving her

20 months already

Soon I will stop this whole counting by month thing

Real story: We asked our car salesman how old his son was

He replied with "45 1/2 months old"

Seriously?! That's way too much math for me! just say almost 4!

FALLing in love

My new favorite season is fall (since I don't get to lounge in a floaty at the pool for 5 solid hours every summer day anymore)

We have our our own little (not for long) family tradition now, heading to the

Pumpkin Patch

After a few years we have made some adjustments, and I think we'vwe perfected it

 Weekday, and it MUST be chilly, otherwise it feels like California (I know where I live people).

We picked the PERFECT evening. It rained all day and was clear and chilly in the evening for us with about 10 people there!

We picnic'ed, enjoyed the petting zoo, played on pumpkins, and of course enjoyed yummy dessert (cinnimon roll for this preggo!)

It has become a day I look forward to each year. 

Now for the zillions of pictures

and HAPPY FALL

 She was OBSESSED with the goats 

 This pic definitely doesn't show I'm pregnant (with 2 remember), but just super chubby!

  They are so lucky to have each other

Spoiled with dessert (not a common site, I'm such a mean parent)

 She thought this was so funny, even though the real one was 10 feet away

Hand-me-down Wish List

We were more than ready for another baby...just not 2

A lot of you have been asking what we are need of so I thought it might help to just post what we are on the hunt for. 

If you are clearing out some baby stuff, or want to "store" it with us for a bit, we would be more than happy to help you with that. We are also willing to buy it off you (I'm sure I'll be buying most on Craigslist anyway). I'm thinking the idea of not storing this stuff in your garage for a while might be a nice thought to you (or the hubby...Tim had a heart attack this weekend looking at all the baby stuff in his "man cave")

We don't care about anything matching, or even if it is girly (I think the boys will be confident of who they are)

This by no means is us asking for anyone to buy us anything, stickly mentioning the items before you get rid of them.

I put up some pictures, but only to give you an idea of the type of item I am talking about (we are not picky)

Hand-Me-Down Wish List

*1 Pack n Play that has a bassinet (our doesn't have the bassinet so we could even work in a swap for a bit so you still have one on hand)

*1 bouncer

*1 Chicco Car seat (needs to be chicco, we already have the bases). We will only take this from someone we know to trust that it is accident free

* 1 swing

* 2 bath tubs

* 1 boppy

*1 shopping car/high chair cover

*1 bumbo

* 1 glider that has some sort of recline to it (ours was awful at 3 a.m.)

*1 play mat

*Any boys clothes (definitely don't have any of that right)

Just kidding, I think I need to accept there is no more accessorizing

*Any books on twins (no idea what to do)

I'm sure I will realize more things I need and I will be sure to add to the "hand-me-down wish list"

Remember we are NOT asking any of you to purchase any of this, we jut twant to ask before we make the purchases
