Today is Nov. 10th-- which means I have exactly 2 months left before I'm supposed to deliver! Whoo-hoo! Seriously-- I feel like it will be here tomorrow with Thanksgiving then Christmas right around the corner. Then here comes baby!:) We are all still so excited. She is doing well- I'm feeling GREAT! Everything is perfect. But onto the more exciting news...Ethan has learned to cut an onion! He came home from school today and asked to cut an onion. I was like, "What?? Where did THAT come from?...

I don't know what it is - but lately I feel like I've been a little faster to jump at my kids, a little faster to let them know what they are doing wrong, a little faster to raise my voice, etc.... and I feel like I have NO patience! Every little thing will get to me (or rather after the 10th time of saying something vs. the 100th I freak out). I'm also usually not one to think that I'm a bad mom. I believe that discouragement or really getting down on yourself only makes it harder to get bac... Read Full Story
A little while ago, a month or so, we decided to take to the hills of California and go hiking. It was a nice little hike-- not too demanding physically, but hard enough to where the kids felt like they were really climbing a mountain-- and to top it off... not only was it a fun hike, but Chet and the kids got to go tree climbing in the process! I got some pretty good video, especially of Dante trying to come "down" the tree.Here are the pics and video from our first fun California hiking a... Read Full Story
(she's a happy baby AND has Ethan's nose... so looks like she will look like him)For my birthday my family was in town and we decided to go to a 3D/4D ultrasound place to finally find out what we were having! I think 29 weeks is long enough to wait:) I was so excited that they all got to see. So far- our kids have gone boy, girl, boy....... and so everyone (even the kiddos) were hoping for a girl to even things out-- and sure enough we are having aBABY GIRL!!Either Chet and I have forgotten h...

Yes, that is me--- I've made it to the SIX month mark which is also 27 weeks... without any problems or really any discomfort at all--- but it is slowly but surely coming on-- the having trouble getting comfy in bed at night... the having to use momentum to get off the bed... feeling like there is a "bowling ball" in my tummy, feeling like I'm a mile away from everything when my belly is touching it- like the sink when I do dishes, or the laundry basket when I can't hold it in front of me any...

Last Saturday (has it really been a week?) we headed over to the Miramar Airshow in San Diego... we thought admission is free, seating (on the tarmac) is free, parking is free-- WHY NOT?? I had never been to an airshow, the kids had never been to an airshow, Chet has been to a million airshows... and we needed to spread the airshow LOVE... and I was most excited for........THE BLUE ANGELS!!Aren't the GORGEOUS?? I'm not gonna lie-- I almost cried (blame it on the pregnancy) when they flew righ... Read Full Story
Who doesn't LOVE looking at pictures?? Especially when it is of their own family... and as you look through pictures a flood of memories come sailing back!That is exactly what happened to me, and as I looked for the "perfect" family picture to put at the top of my blog... I came across some that made me laugh and that would NEVER make the family blog- because I just want to "appear" perfect... but who am I kidding!!:)So to give you all some enjoyment with family pictures past of some good and...

What would YOUR kids do when they saw this great big slide???Doesn't it look FUN! It is a REALLY tall, steep slide... and you really get racing down it. I mean- like FAST!Most kids would be happy just sliding down the thing over and over and over and OVER again... but Ethan???NOPE!I mean come on, who are we kidding?? As he ever done ANYTHING the normal way?He decided to jump off at the top of the slide (where the little house is)... now it may look big to you and some of you may be going- tha... Read Full Story
This was taken on Sunday- my 25 week mark! I can still hardly believe that it has been TWENTY FIVE weeks! This is the fastest pregnancy ever... and of course I'm saying that now... not in a month from now;)I've really been able to sit back and enjoy this pregnancy. I really enjoyed my first-- but my 2nd and third pregnancies seemed to go on FOREVER because I always had some kid that I had to pick up on a constant basis and when they are throwing a tantrum and kicking and they are constantly k...
