Halloween Costumes

Grace and her little bf Sophie picked out their Halloween costumes this weekend from the Disney store online (we had a conference call to discuss the matter :)

Grace chose -- Minnie Mouse -- and Sophie chose Tinkerbell. Grandma and I took Grace to the Disney store today to pick it up and Grandma bought Grace a set of Disney princess toys. She is obsessed with them & I'm sure will try to sleep with them tonight (thanks Gma!).
So I figured I better get her little sister's costume while I'm at it since I'm trying to get as much done as possible before the baby comes. She will be...a baby elephant. How cute is this little costume. The smallest size is 0-6 months so Mike said she's going to be swimming in it, but it will still be soooo cute I'm sure.

Beach Bunnies

Beach bunnies Kiana, Aliyah, Kelcie and Grace hopped around the beach all morning today. Our new favorite beach is at the Montage hotel in Laguna. It's public, but small & not crowded, and has a great little parking structure if you get there early enough. We love playing with the Fan girls - our friends from church.

PS - 34 week pregnant belly shot...

33 Weeks Prego

The baby is well over 4 lbs. now. I've gained about 27 pounds at this point and I should be getting induced right around Sept. 29th/Oct. 1st, which gives me about 6 more weeks until we meet our little girl :) We can't wait!!!

6 Years!

6 years ago Mike and I made the best decision of our lives :)

We celebrated our anniversary last night with dinner at Mastros and a night to ourselves (thanks Grandma & Grandpa). It was so fun to just focus on eachother, talk and laugh...a lot. We've made a great life together and feel lucky to still love eachother so much. Happy Anniversary baby!

PS - I am being selfish here and posting a wedding picture because although we have a couple pics from last night and Mike looks totally great, I look so big and fat at 8 months pregnant that I'd prefer to think of myself looking like this....... ha ha ha.....next anniversary for sure!!!

Swim Lessons

This week we're finishing up Grace's swim lessons. When we started, just 7 sessions ago, Grace would not put her head in the water and now she is a little fish thanks to her amazing swim instructor Kristen. We're sad to see them end but look forward to working with Kristen again next summer.

OC Fair & Kristyn's Birthday

We went to the OC Fair yesterday to celebrate Kristyn's birthday and have some fun with the kids. It was a blast and I was so impressed that Sophie and Grace were such big girls and went on a bunch of rides all by themselves. They also got their faces painted, ate pizza and ice cream, played a game or two and saw a bunch of animals. I'm always shocked at all the deep-fried food options at the fair. Get this - a fried chicken breast placed between two Krispy Creme donuts...then fried again. NASTY!!! Happy Birthday Kristyn, we love you!

Baby Update

I had an ultrasound today and the placenta has moved so no c-section as of now, YAAYYYY!! Our baby is about 3 lbs., 10 ounces and I'm heading into my 31st week with everything looking good for now. We saw her blink, stick out her tongue, swallow and cover her eyes with her hands. She has hair too. Grace asked what color it was and I said "pink!" just to be silly. We are busy working on her room now.
