Happy Birthday Maximillian!!!!

You're 2 and we can hardly believe what a big boy you are!!!! You are the love of our lives and we just know you're going to be the Best Big Brother, ever!!! You are our sunshine - We love you, Buddy!

Bon Voyage, Mimi and Poppa!

So, tomorrow my folks leave for Denmark for a couple weeks - so I thought I pay a tribute to the most amazing grandparents, ever! What am I going to do without my babysitters?!? Max is going to go through withdrawls! Here's some pictures from the Farmer's Market that my Dad takes Max to every Sat. where he gets balloon animals, and our trips to Roseville complete with a train ride at the new shopping center - the Fountains! Have a fabulous time, you two! We'll miss you greatly - thank you for all your help, support, and unconditional love; and being such a consistent anchor in Max's life! Have fun!

Another getaway!

So, I'll write about the pictures I posted of Tahoe later - but all in all - we had a fantastic vacation with much needed family time! Now, James and I are off to the coast where I have a wedding to do makeup for and we're meeting up with Gabe and Andrea Foster, too! We're so excited! We've never been to the coast together! So, more pictures when I get back! oh, and we're supposed to have renters move in next week - pray that it goes through!

Almost 33 weeks!?!?

So, yeah - 7 weeks left!?!? Crazy! Feeling good - just definitely in that uncomfortable, heart-burn, leg cramping, tired, and get all around gi-normous stage! But - it's been a great pregnancy so far, it's just the home stretch now. I can't believe I'm going to be holding my little MiaBella in weeks! We put the crib up this week - it's all coming together!

So I get sleepy a lot!

friends in Tahoe

Rumikub - Tahoe Tradition!

more Tahoe fun!

The Beach, fishing, relaxing, playing and eating - the good life!

Tahoe!!!

I'm so excited to be back in 105 degrees after leaving a miserable high of 75 every day!!!(thick sarcasm)

And we're off again!

Leaving in the morning for Ta-hoe!!! So ready! it's been so stinkin' hot, too! So, see y'all in a week or so!
And... some pictures of what we've been up to: yes, I've been up to getting larger by the second, but I'm lovin' it! This pregnancy has flown by - I can't believe I'm almost 30 weeks - with only 10 left!!! So exciting! Max is keeping us all on our toes and it's never a dull moment with my child around - I'm loving his little (or should I say huge) personality that keeps me laughing everyday! He goes to gymnastics twice a week and I take a Pilates class 3 times a week - so we're both staying very active! And here's some more pictures of the house as it's coming along. I'm in love with this house and we're working on the backyard now - it's all coming together and I know we'll be here for a very long time. Now, if only we could get the other house taken care of...
