2012-02-03T08:21:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday B!

We are going to party it up (as much as I can these days)

I can't believe how blessed our lives have been in just 2 short years

A flash of our week

2012-01-29T19:47:00.000-08:00

A few highlights of the past few days

Oh boy! he has no idea it's about to get so much worse

Dada's night to get her ready for bed

She does wear it well though

Reading her Babies 'r Us catalog on the pot(ty)

(It's deceiving! all her buddies are using the "potty" now, so she thinks it's cool to hang out on it. But we've discovered she's not cool enough for this yet)

32 weeks down

(5-1/2 weeks until my c-section, if I make it until then)

I fit in about 3 pieces of clothing now, so give me a break on clothing choice here

We have a busy week ahead, but most important on our list, B turns 2!

Candy Trains

2012-01-07T17:55:00.000-08:00

My mom (Namma) does Candy trains every Christmas with the grandkids

B discovered the "train parts" real quick. She ate so much candy she threw up later (maybe because she never gets it)

I love all the fun traditions Namma has with her little ones

Just after I gave up the battle of the sugar

Miss Gigi inhaling the goodies

Namma and Gigi (caught in the act)

Namma and B admiring her work

With Miss B

Namma, Gigi, and Caden

With London

With JJ

With MaddiePie

Wish Lizzy, Ry, Trev, and Ali could be with us...missed you

Christmas Princess

2012-01-01T18:34:00.000-08:00

We took B on a Princess horse drawn carriage ride

It was so fun and yet another reason why I LOVE having a girl

Definitely something we will be doing next year (maybe not with the boys though)

But this one shows who her heart REALLY belongs to (ya, I'm jealous)

(I think this is the most pictures I have had of B and me all year!)

twinkle twinkle

2012-01-01T18:18:00.000-08:00

We had another fun night with the Wellman crew checking out Christmas lights

Do to special circumstances (uh...me) we couldn't walk it this year so we took the easy route and drove the loop this year

We let the girls sit with us (and Dada/uncle Tim) and check it out. I am aware this is illegal, but everyone else was doing it (like that helps)

It was so fun (and quite cozy with a heater blowing on us)

And our favorite of the night!

Fort time

2012-01-01T17:59:00.000-08:00

I can't do a whole lot these days with Berkeley off the couch,

but we did mange to build a fort together

I'm not sure who had more fun (including the dog)

HoHoHo

2012-01-01T17:50:00.000-08:00

B was so excited about Santa Clause this year. She had to take him to bed every night.

We had 2 trips to see the big man

1st trip: serious case of stranger danger (that's a new thing for her)

2nd trip:

Santa: "Well hello"

B: "Grover Peeze. Grover peeze"

Santa: "you want grove?"

B: "PEEZE"

Happy 2012

2012-01-01T17:09:00.000-08:00

If you didn't get our Christmas card (sorry), this is what you missed

I am so excited for another new year. Let's be honest, I'm excited for our newest additions to join us this year!

I look back 2011, and feel so much gratitude

(especially for my little family) but I'm always excited to look forward

Starting the year off right

2012-01-01T16:42:00.000-08:00

This was what B did this morning to start 2012

(Its sure started my year off right)

Oh BoyS

2011-12-31T09:30:00.000-08:00

You can see how quickly my body has been overtaken by these little gentlemen

We are so excited and only 9 weeks left!

My belly doesn't fit on the screen (J/K), it's on my camera so coming soon

crazy hat night

2011-12-30T23:31:00.000-08:00

Tim planned a crazy hat night with our little crew

It consisted of crazy hats, our favorite little friend, Saints game and chili sandwiches (we thought if we made it a festive night we could eat bad)

I love our simple life!

2011-12-30T22:59:00.001-08:00

We had another Halloween with Wellman crew

Roz taught B how to quickly unwrap the candy before your mom can catch you

B desperately wanted to be a cow this year (but I made sure she still had fashionable shoes and a matching bow).

And of course we carved pumpkins this year

B loved "gutting" hers and directing us on what she wanted carved on hers

80's Flashback?

2011-12-09T15:54:00.000-08:00

Or maybe just a bad case of bed head

and she wears it well I must say

Let play...

How pregnant do I look?

I've been neglecting our blog, and thought I'd update a bit of this awesome pregnancy (seriously)

What's your guess...?

24 weeks! (picture was at 23 weeks)

I measured at a singleton pregnancy of 33 weeks today!

Yes, I know I am carrying 2 babies, but seriously?!

As big as I am, I am having a good pregnancy so far.

I am starting to have a hard time breathing now and getting light headed from the weight on my artery.

I have started to sleep sitting up, which could get real old for 12 more weeks.

I haven't been sick since 1st trimester and feel so grateful for how well this pregnancy has gone.

I have a serious case of nesting right now!

Grateful is how I would sum up this pregnancy

Monterey Babymoon

2011-10-23T22:03:00.000-07:00

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

2011-10-23T21:38:00.000-07:00

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

2011-10-17T16:05:00.000-07:00

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
