Lakers...NBA Finals...Yeah baby!

There is excitment in this house! More on what we did tonight early tomorrow. Good night!

Tonight felt like a summer night

We had homemade BBQ pork sandwiches on toasted onion rolls and watermelon for dinner tonight.
I am ready for bare feet, eating outside, children sweaty from running around as the sun is setting, watermelon and strawberries for dessert after dinner, same sweaty kids running around in their bathing suits, that happy tired feeling from a long fun day swimming in the sun, smores...
what summer activities are you ready for?

going for my monthly

baby doctor appointment this morning. I always take Mr. B with me and he is so good. Today we were sitting in the exam room waiting for the doctor and he starts asking me question about things in the room. Not a big deal until he gets to the birth control posters. Fabulous, just what I want to answer questions about. So he says look Mommy there's a baseball. Even better! Now my 3 year old thinks a cervical cap is a baseball. How do you explain that one?! Starting to question bringing him to the appointments with me... beyond that the appointment went well. Can't believe I will be 6 months on Thursday. Time has flown! Going for an ultrasound on Friday to check that lovely cyst growing on my ovary. more news on that later.







Our veggie garden is growing very nice. Ms. K has been my helper in planing and maintaining. If she gets homework done quickly today we are going to plant some green beans. I've never grown these before so if anyone has any tips they would be well appreciated!
Hope everyone is having a great day!

Did everyone have a nice

Memorial Day weekend? We were looking forward to relaxing, swimming, cooking out.. you know nice warm weather activities. Not so much of that happening here. The weather was not exactly cooperating. High's in the low 60's lows at night in the low 40's. That is not Southern California weather at all! Oh well, it kept us inside a lot (no swimming!) and forced us to take a look around the house at things that needed to be done. We did get lots done. Mr. B's room is coming together. Well, I shouldn't say Mr. B's room because in a couple months it will be the boys room. But I am very happy with the way it's looking!

Little things need to be done still. We have vintage baseball signs coming and the crib needs to be bedded (can you see the siding to the crib in the corner). Mr. B is very happy in his sports room! (Thank you Gigi for the rug!)

There was some outside time this weekend. Today we went to my parent's house and cooked out even though it was a bit chilly. Scott was on the grill and the kids were outside golfing. I came out to take pictures but after about 10 minutes I called it a day and went back into the warm house. Here are the little golfers...

I did manage to touch my scrap stuff this weekend but it wasn't to make anything. I cleaned my desk! Yes, I know it's something everyone does but it had been a while because if I am in the middle of something I don't like to put it away. Then I start something else, and something else. Well, you get the idea.

Gotta go...my Dad's here with a piece of furniture we are inheriting!

summer is coming...

and the weather has been very nice. I am not quite ready for the hot stuff but it has definitely been play outside weather. Tonight Scott got home early (6:00) so we went for a walk around the neighbor. So nice to be out and about and the kids had a blast taking turns riding in the wagon. Been doing some crafty stuff lately but nothing I am sharing at the moment, mostly layouts for the kids albums which I don't exactly consider to be my best world. I have my sample ready for my next class but I have not advertised yet. Here's some pictures of the album though, not the best lighting...















Just wanted to share a couple of pictures of life in the last week. My Internet is finally working again so I will be on here much more now. Mr. B has been spending a little time in time-out lately and I had to take a picture the other day because he is way to funny. When you tell him to go to time-out he sticks his nose way into the corner of the wall. Not only does his stick his nose in the corner but he does not move an inch the entire time. After this time-out escapade he came downstairs with a sweaty forehead because he was in that corner so well. Ah..if this would only work so well when he gets older!




I had to share this picture as well. My sister, Dad and I joined some friends for the Relay for Life last weekend. My Dad participated in the cancer survivor portion of it and I was so proud of him. He didn't like the attention on him and it was more emotional than we expected it to be. I am proud of you Dad, almost 3 years cancer free!

Happy Mother's Day

Growing belly... 21 weeks... just grew this big in the last week, before there was nothing!
