julie and her love affair with photo booth...

Sammie is almost as obsessed as I am with Julie, so we spent all night crying over how hysterical my cute little sis is:)

throwing up deuces, she's pretty thug for a 13 year old...

baby teeth...

she even brings props to some photo shoots...

this one is one of my favs, she seriously looks like a cartoon...

Julie is constantly making me laugh and I love her to death for her awesome personality. If you're ever feeling down, just let me know and I can send a "Julie photo booth" pic your way and I guarantee that it will brighten up your day immediately.

baby bump...

My friend Heather has a cool photo blog and was kind enough to take some prego shots...I think we're going to try again when I get bigger, but it was fun to get some pics to remember my progress:) Thanks Heather, you're a doll!!!

baby girl's room...

I know that I still have about 4 months until the babe arrives, but I really want to start getting her room put together. I think I have finally settled on doing black furniture and black and white bedding. Now I have to decide what pattern to use...damask, toile, etc.? Too many choices! Here are some of the ones I thought were cute, what do you think? I need your opinions please:) Also, around how much should furniture and bedding cost? I'm completely clueless!

1. Black, white and light pink damask with polka dots

2. Black and cream toile

3. Black, white and light pink damask

Below are the only 2 things I have for her room so far: I want to incorporate a few bird cages in the room so I got this cute thing the other day (thanks Meg!), and below is a frame that I'll probably end up putting the first letter of her name in. Your comments are truly appreciated! (I have no idea what I'm doing:))

creepster...

Eric's facial hair grows in patches on his face, so needless to say, I'm not a big fan of facial hair on him...especially mustaches. Only very few people can pull them off, and my sweet husband is definitely NOT one of them:) The other day we were getting ready to go out to dinner and he tried to pull a fast one on me and sneak out of the house with a creepy mustache...um....nice try. I had to laugh though, he looks pretty hysterical!

Happy Birthday Eric!!!

I wanted to wish my wonderful husband a very happy birthday...(even though I am a few weeks late on posting this). Eric is seriously such a terrific person and I am so lucky to be married to him. I fall more and more in love with him everyday. He is my best friend and I absolutely LOVE spending any moment that I can with him. Happy 25th Birthday honey!!! I love you and I am so excited to spend MANY MANY MANY more birthdays with you!!!

we're excited to announce...

I can't wait to start shopping! I know she is going to have both Eric and I wrapped around her cute little finger:) We can't wait until we get to meet this precious little girl in person!!!

mexico...

My sister and her husband planned a weekend to come down from Utah and visit, so we decided to go to Mexico for a few days. About 4 days before the trip I was talking to my dad on the phone and mentioned that he, my mom and little sister should join us, and surprisingly he agreed! I was so excited! They are never spontaneous, so this was HUGE for them. We met up with Eric's parents, Rod and Diane down there and had such a fun weekend. Thanks again for letting us spend time in Mexico with you guys!!!

Sue wanted to get a "baby bump" picture, which is pretty difficult considering that I'm not really showing yet and I had a sweatshirt on, so Eric cand I decided to be a little sarcastic:)

Sue and Preston...

Rod and Diane...

The cutest couple- Jenn and Thomas...

Eric and I with Julie...

more mexico...

we decided to have a sand castle building contest: girls vs. boys...

the boys made an actual sand castle, but ran out of time because the tide was coming up...

and the girls of course decided to make an awesome mermaid instead...much better than a boring sand castle:)

Rod, Eric's dad was taking pics of us on the balcony, he got really excited that birds were flying above us, so he wanted to try to get one in a shot...

Julie is so stinkin cute! She loves to entertain, so this is her dancing and singing for us while we were BBQing...

this is my life...

I've been CRAVING watermelon lately... too bad it's not in season yet, but even though it doesn't taste delish, for some reason it works. I am such a pig, I just cut it in half, grab a spoon and dig in and I've gotten into the bad habit of eating in bed:( The good thing is that I feel like I am hopefully getting over morning "all day" sickness so hopefully my life (and eating habits) will start to get back to normal. I think I've easily gone through 20 boxes of cereal in the past 4 weeks...sickening...I know!

surprise!!!

The two of us are expecting a little one of our own! We are absolutely ecstatic and September 25th seems like such a LONG time away, but we're trying to mentally prepare ourselves for the long and outrageously HOT months ahead. Right now, I am 9 weeks along, so according to the books, the baby is about the size of a green olive, but we both know that in the end, the babe is going to be huge! (I was almost 9 lbs. and Eric was a whopping 10 lbs.!!!) We are so excited and cannot wait for the arrival of the little one.
p.s. Isn't this pram awesome! I would love to take the babe on sunday strolls in it, but I'm pretty sure it's not the most practical thing...I doubt we'd be able to fold this sucker up and throw it in the car:) But who cares! I would feel like such a fancy lady pushing this thing along!

fashionista...

Tatum, (the little girl that I watch) is hysterical! She LOVES my red sunglasses. Everytime we go outside, she needs to have them on. Her mom bought her 2 different pairs of little girl sunglasses but she refuses to wear them. I had to take this pic of her the other day, we were in the car on the way to the park and she was perfectly content watching Scooby-Doo with her milk in hand and of course, her stylish red shades on. I love that girl!
