Getting ready for my little brother!

Whoooo! Hooooo! I've accomplished TV watching. We've been in TV training the last couple months. She now watches Baby Einstein (the same two episodes) every morning. I get to make breakfast, drink coffee, and pray every morning. I forgot what it was like to have a peaceful morning!








Maggies been finding my hair everywhere. In the bathtub, in her food (yum), on her toys, blankets.... etc. I thought when you were pregnant you get a thick, full set of hair. Oh well. Sean and I will be bald together!







We stole baby Gavin for a little bit the other day. It was great seeing Maggie care for him. She brushed his hair and pushed him in the swing. He loved it. She also wanted to change his diaper, give him a bottle, hold him, rock him and read him a book. I had to draw the line somewhere! But, there was no jealousy which was nice!

The Band and the Beach

Here is my little helper! She already has a couple chores. She empties out the silverware from the dishwasher and dries some dishes after I wash them. Having kids is awesome! Can't wait till she can cook!








We had Doug, Kelly & Gabe over for dinner. Sean, Gabe & Maggie had band practice. It was the worse noise I'd ever heard. The harmonica has been a hit around here!










Half Moon Bay was really hot a couple weeks ago. We tried taking her to Santa Cruz last year but it was unsuccessful with her unsteady steps and lots of falling in the dirty sand face first. This year was much better. She loves making sand castles with daddy. The water was freezing but that didn't stop her from going in.

Baby boy!

Soooo, some of you knew that we were finding out the sex this time!!! But, it was a big debate and finally Sean agreed that we could find out. I felt about 95% that it was a boy and I couldn't wait till October! We went today and had a zillion laughs about the baby. Can you find the little wee-wee? Too cute! What a miracle. I feel so blessed!

Tan lines

Must be nice to get a tan line after a couple days in your bathing suit with SPF 55 on!!!

Today, I was changing a stinky diaper and Maggie's butt was a little red so she told me to put some "butter" on it! Too cute!

Big bump & Tilden Park

Well, when I was pregnant with Maggie I took pics every month and now that I'm almost 17 weeks I should probably get a picture of this one! It's already a little stinker and I'm still tired and still sick every so often. I'm also trying to tan up my pasty white body so I took advantage of these hot days! We decided to find out the sex of the baby so our appt is on Monday, May 4th.











Tilden Park was so much fun! I can't get over how much fun she has on the Merry-go-round!

If you ever want your kid to just stop talking for a little bit then a nice train ride is the best thing. J/K It was a fun trip and the train ride is only $2! She loves hanging out with Nonna and Papa!

Moe Moe, Kev & Easter

Maggie's 2nd Easter!!! Last year she was sick and this year she woke up with a nasty runny nose. We went to Papa's church to be with family and she loved the worship time. At our church they go right to Sunday School so she never hears the music! Afterwards, everyone came over for a BBQ and watch the only kid around hunt for Easter eggs. We need some little cousins Tony & Erika! She loved wearing her dress all day!




Here is Cousin Mike helping her open the eggs.













This was the spot she chose as she got each egg she would come over here, open it and eat the yummy candy (chocolate covered raisins)!!!










Here's Grandma hiding the Easter eggs! She still does the grass trick!! Every egg had fake grass next to it... I remember that as a kid too! I was just excited that the Easter bunny brought me the Reese's giant eggs!










Moe & Kev (my cousins) came for a visit from Nebraska! It was so much fun hanging out with them... Now every so often Maggie says, "Mommy, call Moe Moe"! We miss you!

My motivation

I've been meaning to read the Bible more often and I just can't get myself to get on a routine. Maggie gets up at 6:45 a.m. and I can't get up earlier than that. I keep making excuses and I just need some motivation. Guess who took out my Bible and started reading it? My little motivator.... She was singing the alphabet but it was so cute!

Quotes from Maggie: 22months
Mag: "Mama, I took my haircut out (hairclip). I want to put it in mommy's hair. So pretty! I want to put it in Daddy's hair".
Mom: "Oh... you want to put it in daddy's hair?"
Mag: "Yes"! (she's saying yes now instead of OK)
Mom: "Does Daddy have any hair?"
Mag: "Nooo"
Mom: "Where is Daddy's hair?"
Mag: "In the garage!"

Mag: "I want to kiss Vincent!" (Random out of the blue comment)

Mag: "I want to kiss the baby in mommy's belly" (lifts up my shirt, looks at my belly button, touches belly button) "Ewwwww, poo, poo baby"
