Hot Days!

We had some reallly hot days last week and Maggie wanted to dress herself this day. She really wanted to wear her Easter dress but we didn't want it dirty so I pulled out this one. She wouldn't wear any other shoes except these ones. Daddy put on white ones and she cried for 5 minutes and said they were "too big". Daddy went outside to take pics and obviously she was very proud of her outfit. Posing!!!












Brayden's 1st b-day was so much fun but someone didn't want to take a nap.... so by 5:30 she was passed out on the couch. Nothing would wake her up. She woke up at 6 a.m. the next morning. Fun for me!









It was almost 80 degrees this day so she wanted to jump in the water table. Some of her favorite songs this week are "A, B, C..." "Ring around the rosie", "Rock-a-bye baby", "Old Macdonald".









I know it's early to be potty training but she really wants to sit on it. So far she hasn't peed yet but I think she's getting close. I'm taking out the M&M's on her 2nd b-day. The first time I gave her an M&M for sitting on the potty she threw it in the toilet. Good times! She's also fascinated with poo poo. If she farts, she tells me, "Mommy, I tooted" and then laughs. I'm not sure if we'll be able to control the potty talk around here.

Easter pics & Nana

"Excuse me do I have something in my teeth"?












Nana came to visit from Arizona and brought me the cutest Easter outfit. We went for my very first pictures and had a blast!










Attention soldier!



















Look at my new bikini from Ross for $5... I thought it was pretty cute!



















Mommy does a good job of taking my pics too! I'm 22 months today! (March 30th)

St. Patty's Day!

Here is the 3 musketeers together playing on a sunny afternoon.











Somebody took their jammies off in the morning and told me... "Mommy, I'm cold!"












The Saturday before St. Patty's day we went to the Dublin Parade and festival. We went on the the Merry-Go-Round and Maggie couldn't stop laughing which made me laugh. So we laughed the whole time until I started to feel sick.















Serious glasses time!!!!!!!














Excuse me is that poop in your pants????

Bridal Shower & Baby #2

The whole month of February was filled with fun for April's wedding. We had her bridal shower, bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, pedicures, and the actual wedding. I was so happy to be a part of it considering we've known each other all of our life. I was so happy to see her so happy.








I don't have any pictures of my friends on my blog. Whooops! They are such a big part of my life but my kid has obviously taken over. Here's Treena, Erin, April, Carrie and Me. Tara is in Washington.... Kelly & Becky left already.









Getting ready for Baby #2! As all the excitement of April's wedding is happening.... I'm busy feeling so sick and nauseous (spelling) cause I'm pregnant! I found out at the end of January and have been feeling sick since the 2nd week of February! I'm 10 weeks and that's why I haven't kept up this blog or been calling anyone. Sorry!

Maggie is excited. She's been lifting up my shirt and kissing the "baby". The other day I came to get her from her nap and she touched one of my giant boobs and said, "Look mommy, baby" Yep! Kids are funny! Here is Maggie changing her baby's diaper. She does everything. The wipe, the diaper, & the diaper rash cream.







Sean is the swaddling expert so here he is practicing on Maggie. She actually liked it for a second.












And..... here is the little kidney bean. My due date is October 7th. It looks like a little piece of poo! How cute!

Pigtails & Playing

"Mike & Gina, Mike & Gina, Mike & Gina" Some of Maggie's favorite words. Ever since we got their save the date magnet she likes to carry around their picture and talk about them. She sees Mike sometimes when Sean and him carpool, but the funniest is that she took the Tiger Woods golf game and points to it and says "Mike". He's sitting on the couch in this pic so you can see why that's funny!!!!!










Awwwwww... first pigtails..... she's growing up so fast!

Here's Gina giving Maggie her X-mas present. The hopscotch is a huge success. Except for the fact that everyday she says "Mommy, do it" or "Play me". So I have to show her how the real hopscotch girls play!!!!!

Maggie and Vincent love playing together. The other day they were both sitting in the chair looking at a book. Becky said they were pointing, talking to each other which led to full on kissing.. Hee... Hee wish we had that on camera!!!!

Newest for Maggie: She doesn't stop talking!!! I'm not kiddding!!! She talks, and talks, and talks, and talks........ HELP!

Mini Family Reunion

We went down to L.A (Redondo Beach) for a couple of days to see cousins and all of the kids. It was little Gus's 1st b-day and we all just wanted to see each other. My cousin Lisa lives in L.A too so it was great to catch up. I can't believe how mature Katie is. She is going to be something great after college! :)






Here is the view Mark & Micka have from their place. It is right by the beach and they have a top floor view! It was great weather for an outside b-day party/BBQ!










Here's Maggie playing with all the new fun toys. These are those balloon things that you blow up and they have rubber bands on them... She loved it. Some funny things that she's been doing is singing the alphabet, Twinkle Twinkle, counting to 10, and learning "I love you" in sign language. Except she says "Me love me" instead! She is like a parrot right now. I can't even tell you all the words that she's saying but she can repeat just about anything. I have to watch my mouth!




Here Grace, 2, Maggie 1 1/2 and Gus 1. They sat there for so long that we finally realized that there was a pile of chips on the table. Oh!!!! They were getting as many as they could before dinner!









Here's Lauren and Megan. They are getting so big and they are both super sweet! Girls are just so much fun! I remember putting their hair in pig tails. I try with Mag but she just takes them out. There's only two strands of hair anyways!

X-mas Time!
