We are having another baby!

We are very excited to announce that we will be having another baby in July!! My due date in 7/31/09. Julia is saying that she wants a "brouder" so we will see. We are just hoping for a healthy baby, boy or girl. I had a ultrasound done today so here is a picture of our little peanut at 10 weeks! So far my Pregnancy has been REALLY rough....Totally different than with Julia. I am hoping that the all day and night nausea that I have been having might soon come to and end. I hope so anyways!!! The funny thing is that I was due with Julia on 7/27/06 and as you all know she didn't get here until 8/10/06 so I think it will work out great that they will be 3 years apart!

Balboa Park ....

Today we went to Balboa Park. It was so beautiful! Julia had fun running out what little energy that she had left. We had a rough night last night with her and when I say we, I mean I. =) Well anyways, I am not sure what it was probably a bad dream or something but pretty much she and I have been up since 3 or so with about an hours rest till the sun came up. I just couldn't settle her down she kept wiggling around. We also had a friend sleeping over so I felt bad for waking him. Right now though she is finishing up an almost 3 hour nap so I guess we are about even =) Last week we tried finger painting for the 1st time. It was SO fun watching her and she loved it! We will be doing that again for sure. Thanksgiving was great! We went over to Luke's Aunt Nancy's for dinner. The food was amazing! You are such a great chef Aunt Nancy. After that we went up to see my Sister Kristen and her family up at Ken and Mary's. We had a great time visiting. Julia was so tired that she slept in till 10 after eight the next morning. I could get used to that. =) I hope this post finds everyone happy and healthy...on to December we go! Can you believe it?

Halloween 2008

We had a great Halloween! Julia was a pirate! It was so much fun picking out the outfit together. Luke thought she would really like the scull necklace and she loved it! I had fun surprising Luke with a few pictures for "Daddy's garage".

It was so fun listing to her really be able to talk this year! I love the way she says "trick or treat" and her "thank yous" were melting my heart. She has so much to say now!! It is truly amazing!!
Time is so precious....

Sea World

On Sunday I took Julia to Sea World. We had so much fun cruising around a checking out their Halloween Spooktackular. There is a Sesame Street themed play area that Julia just loves. I took her on the flying fish ride and she loved it! We got to see the show about Pets, that was fun! She also held her 1st star fish and really thought that was cool.

Spending time with NaNa and PaPa at the dome

Last week Julia and I went up to Luke's parents house to help watch my Niece and Nephew. The kids had so much fun playing together!! Julia was excited about watching.... with me holding her...the stink bugs cruising around. When she saw one she would run to me and say "hold you Mama". With such wide open spaces and lots of dirt, Mid afternoon showers were a must for everyone. They were having fun coloring and moving dirt from on place to the other while we worked on the planes.

On one of our days we went to the craft store and got face paint. Yeah that stuff doesn't come off as easily as it says it should. The kids had so much fun!! They were taking full advantage of our willingness to join in on the fun. It took me 3 scrub cloths and a hot shower to get all of mine off. And for days I could still see Julia's name on her tummy. We went to Apollo Park and fed the ducks. It was Julia's 1st time and she was having so much fun! This is the same park that Luke used to go fishing at as a kid. So that was neat.
We went to the pumpkin patch. Julia had a hard time settling on a pumpkin, she must have picked up and dropped about 5 before she finally decided on one just her size.
Thanks for having us up there Mom and Dad we had a great time!!

My Parents 40th Wedding Anniversary in San Diego

My Parents celebrated 40 years together on October 9th. They came out from Salt Lake and spent a few days with us and then a few with my Sister in San Clemente. We had such a great time together!! It was SO fun to watch them really talk to Julia. She is able to do so much more now. Even though they last saw her in August. She is changing SO fast! She can sing her ABC's it is so fun...she gets a little hung up around LMNOP but she knows them. Here are a few pictures from our time with them. Thanks for spending your Anniversary with us Mom and Dad! WE LOVE YOU!!!!

It's fixed

Yay! I have a working car!! Toyota was finally able to fix it. It turns out that it was the crank shaft positioning sensor. This $160 part only cost $800 to figure out. But oh well!! It is SO nice to have a car again! So hopefully we wont have any problems with it for a while, we shouldn't anyways with all the stuff we replaced. =) The first morning I had it back Julia and I went to Balboa Park to the Science Center and met up with my friend Jen and her baby Tristan. We had such a nice time together. The kids are 1 year apart. It is amazing what 1 year does. Inside the center there is a place called "kid city" it is especially for kids under 5. Julia had a blast! She and Tristan are just so cute together! Yesterday we went to the Miramar Air Show. It was AWESOME!!! My Sister and Nephew came down and went with us. Julia loved seeing the planes! The Blue Angels were and always are my favorite.
