The Game

Mike and I had our sitter on Friday so we went to an Isotopes game. It was so much fun! Manny Ramirez was not there. He left the night before and that was fine with me. I had no desire to go see a game while he was in town. I don't want to support that kind of thing. The game started an hour late because of a rain delay but it was still a lot of fun. When it started raining we decided to go under cover and walk around and people watch. That is really fun to do at a big venue like that! We even ran into people we knew. When we headed back to our seats we noticed that they were taken by two couples but the seats in front of them were empty so I started to sit there. Mike was confused and said, "Aren't we in section L?" I told him yes but gestured (discreetly) that those people were sitting there. So we sat in front of them and started talking and pretty soon I saw a couple that we had noticed earlier but this time they were sitting to the left of us and originally when they had taken their seats, they were to the right of us. I looked back to the left a couple of rows back and saw the people we were sitting by earlier and realized we were in the wrong section! I told Mike and we just busted up laughing and we were so thankful we hadn't mentioned to the people behind us that they had taken our seats! Boy would we have felt silly! We ended up staying there since no one seemed to be sitting there anyway and we had already dried off the seats. We didn't stay for the whole game because we had to get back home but it was nice to be away, just the two of us.

Preggo Update

Just returned from my latest appointment and the mystery is solved...my new due date is January 12th. Everything seems great with the baby. I was able to hear the heartbeat for the first time although I've seen it twice now but, it is always nice to hear! I actually lost some weight since last time which totally surprised me considering the amount of food I've been eating...especially cake=0) So, nothing really besides normal appointments until about 20 weeks when we have another ultrasound to see how the baby is developing...but not to see what flavor it is...that shall remain a mystery until January!

Z's Noggin Bonker

Yesterday was the start of swim lessons for Ains and Z. We weren't even there 5 minutes before Z fell and got a nice noggin bonker. They have an area where you can watch the lessons outside with little playhouses and a swing in the tree. Z took off to play and went into the faux log cabin but took a tumble coming out. The log cabin was placed too close to where the concrete patio ends and the rocks (play area) begins. Z was coming out the door and tripped over the little doorstep and fell...head first right into the edge of the concrete patio. I saw it as it happened and it was like slow motion...makes you feel so helpless! I thought he split his head open so I grabbed him and took him inside right away to find some ice. They moved the log cabin way back from the patio and he was done crying by the time I got some ice! He completed his lesson and everything was fine...just has a little scrape and a bump to show for it!

Sometimes I think if too much time goes by that he doesn't have some sort of scrape or bump or bruise on his head, there's something wrong=0)

The Wedding...and More!

Bear with me...there are a lot of photos in this post! Here are some pics from Terry and Ted's party we had last Wednesday. The trampoline is always great fun...sometimes I think us adults have more fun on it than the kids do!

Yes, this is Z dressed all in Cinderella from head to toe! Em and Ains helped dressed him but I wouldn't be surprised if he picked it out himself. The picture is a little blurry because I couldn't stop laughing!

The Party and More

Last night we went over to Mike's parents' house to celebrate birthdays for Terry (Mike's mom) and Ted (Mike's brother) with some water balloons, the trampoline, some Rudy's and yummy cake! We had so much fun and I have some great pictures to share but I'm waiting until we get our new computer either tonight or tomorrow because I can't put the pictures on this one=0( The kids had a blast with the water balloons and then ended up getting in the pool even though it wasn't really warm. Poor Z was shivering like crazy and turning a nice purple color!

Today Liz, Emily, Ethan, Ains and I went to have our toes and nails done...ok, not Ethan but he went along for the ride! It was a lot of fun and a great memory because Ains has only had her nails done by me, Aunt Liz, Gibby and Em and she found it so fascinating to have her feet in the water bath, which she could barely reach and she got the giggles when the lady started rubbing her feet and exfoliating! I took pictures of everyone relaxing and then a picture of all of our cute tootsies at the end that I will post soon. I will have a lot of catching up to do!

I went for my final dress fitting and everything was great. I don't need to have anything let out after all to make room for my already expanding belly. That was a huge load off my shoulders...something I have sort of worried about since I found out I was preggers. Now I just need to worry about making sure our dresses, shoes and jewels make it to the Tamaya for the wedding=0) Oh yeah, and that I don't trip walking down the isle!

I Hate Vacumming!

Poor Jess hates when I vacuum! She cries the entire time and it is so heartbreaking! I have even held her while I vacuumed to see if that would help and it doesn't. Unfortunately, we have to vacuum quite often because of 3 kids and two dogs but I really hate doing it! Ains didn't really care for the vacuum but she never cried and Z loves the vacuum still so it is really interesting that Jess just hates it!

And to make matters worse, because her skin is so fair and sensitive, she gets the rash looking thing around her eyes and it takes forever to go away!

St. James Tea Room

We had so much fun at Liz's shower this past Saturday. It was at St. James Tea Room and it was fabulous! Many of us had never been before so it was a nice treat. It was so much fun and if any of you ever get the chance to go to St. James Tea Room, definitely go! The food is great, the service is great and the tea is sensational!

The champagne for the toast...Cheers!I was so glad that everything turned out well and that all the ladies who attended had such a nice time. Most of all, I'm glad Liz enjoyed it and I'm so excited for the coming week!!!
