Try walking? What!

So we officially have a number one complaint with me being pregnant and things people say. As of right now I am almost a week overdue but these comments probably started a couple days ago. So being that I am overdue people always have to make their suggestions even though they don't know me. Co-workers of Ian have started asking him if I have had the baby...first of all what the hec would he be doing at work if I have had the baby...Dur!!...so he'll politely say no she has not and they ask "Oh she should try walking to get the baby out". So of course Ian starts laughing and then explains o.k my wife works out 5 times a week doing spin classes and the stairmill..if that hasn't got her out, walking ain't nothing. O.k so after a dozen people have suggested this that don't know me Ian finally had had enough and broke down and told them that I don't have any legs so how could I walk..HA HA! People are crazy..especially women that think they know everything. O.k now that I got that out I can move on. Well we had Easter a couple weeks ago but we had Brandon's Easter egg hunt the weekend before at my mom's house. It was super cute. Brandon and Andrew got to hunt for eggs together and we just enjoyed watching them and taking pictures. It was hard to get really good pics because it was outside and dark so this is the best one I have. The boys ended up getting 3 different easter baskets each not including the baskets they had from hunting. They each got one from Auntie GiGi, my brother's girlfriend Luisa, and me. So they had a pretty good Easter. I was really excited about the basket I made for Bubba and Drew. My brothers dubbed it "the health nut basket". Each basket had a solid Dove dark chocolate bunny, a bunch of fruit leather and a vegan fruit sweetened chocolate chip cookie( one of my personal favorite..and Ian approved) plus instead of having candy in the plastic eggs for the hunt I packed them with bunny shaped organic crackers and toy cars which the boys loved. The actual weekend of Easter Kickboxer's brothers and wives were in town so we got to have dinner and hang out with the fam. Brad and Mo are coming back into town tomorrow. The other pics are of Brandon and a day at the park blowing bubbles, Brandon the model striking a pose (he is way too handsome) and a video of Bubba and what happens when you give him sugar. He absolutley loves ice cream. Its the only junk food that I give to him every once in a while as a huge treat. The problem is being pregnant I looooove ice cream too so he has been around it a little more often than normal. This video is of his sneaking a lick here and there and going crazy from his sugar high. Well that's all for now.

Our baby girl!

Here's the pic that I promised to post of our beautiful baby girl. Isn't she cute?! Ian thinks she looks like me. In this pic she does but the others she looks a lot like Brandon. So we'll see when she's here. She sure is a little stinkerton sometimes. She only likes to move like a crazy alien baby for me. The second I tell anyone else to look she stops. She of course loves when her Daddy talks to her and rubs my belly. That relaxs her more than anything. Its probably because she knows she has the radest Daddy ever. Speaking of Daddy...its his birthday today. I think he is turning 30. Yeah right! He would be having a meltdown right about now. I think it is hilarious when people think 30 is old. Hint hint..(Ian). Anyway he's turning 28 years old and he doesn't look a day over 14. Just kidding! He really doesn't seem to age though. He'll be handsome and young forever and I'll be old and wrinkelly..no prob. Well the video is of Brandon at California Adventures waiting in line for the Playhouse Disney puppet show singing and dancing along to "Don't be shy just move your body" by Choo Choo Soul. And the picture is what I have titled Brandon Zoolander because Brandon just feels like he is really really really ridiculously good looking. Also last week Brandon really wanted to make his daddy something that would show his appreciation for all of Daddy's hard work and to keep Daddy motivated when he is having a sucky day at work. So he made him an awesome picture frame that he painted and personalize for Daddy. Well that's pretty much it for now. About a week and a half before Kai Lily's due date so we'll keep you posted.

Trying to catch up!

Yeah I know we haven't posted in awhile. So here goes with all the new happenings. We got our 4D ultrasound and guess what she is still a girl! And she's beautiful but we already knew that. I'll try to post a couple of those pics as soon as I can. A couple weeks ago a taught a class for Enrichment night on the Miracle of Movement. It was a blast. We got to eat really good wholesome foods courtesy of Beth Davis. Salads, soups and homemade bread made by Jeannie Dunn. Yummy to the tummy! Then a good friend of Jeannie's gave a talk about nutrition and how important it is. Then it was my turn to tell the ladies the importance of exercise and just getting our bodies off the freaking couch. O.k but in nicer words. I also got to demonstrate strength training exercises and stretches for them and I had the ladies come up and try them out as well. Seemed like everyone enjoyed it. O.k let me think what else...we went to Disneyland a couple weeks ago. There was a little problem in the beginning with our tickets because some of them could only be used on certain days so my mom had to pay the difference..a big difference..but she also got 6 free tickets for California Adventures which we are supposed to be going this weekend with my brothers. So after that we had a fun filled day watching Bubba and Andrew have the time of there lives. Bubba got to meet Chip and Dale, Goofy, Pluto, and the highlight of the day...Mickey Mouse. That was a big dream come true for us because I have been waiting my whole life to take my baby to Disneyland. Alright so besides all of that Brandon got a pet goldfish named Frank and my sisters managed to throw me a surprise baby shower. I was probably in shock for 2 hours but I had a great time and I got lots of cute clothes for my baby girl. I probably look through her closet every day. So I think that is about it for now. I'm 8 1/2 months preggers so I'm getting close. Yea!

Weekend in Ventura

We've had quite a busy couple weeks so we'll do our best to catch up. With all the sadness of this week I felt like Bubba and I needed a little get away. So the boys and I went to Ventura to visit Josh and Jess and of course to get close to the ocean. Friday we went to the Marina where they have a park, ship and a zip line. And there was hardly anyone there so it was even nicer. Bubba got his feet in the water a couple times but we kept him out after that because the water was freezing and he had a little cold. As for me I have a rule that when I get to go to the beach I have to at least jump in the ocean for a little swim no matter how cold it is. Its not every day I get to swim in the ocean and I love it too much not to do it. So I let my feet test it out for about ten minutes and my feet were still not used to it. I eventually got too restless and just dived in. My brother saw me do it from the beach and yelled that I was crazy but since I did it he had to do it. Thats why I love Asa! He always knows how to have fun. Our bodies were starting to numb so we got out but its always worth it. One of the pics is right after we got out of the water..we look cool but we're really saying burrrrrrrrrrrrrr. The zip line was a blast but a little slow at first so that explains the funny look on my face. Bubba reminds me more and more of his Uncle Moey. Here's a pic of Bubba getting tickled by Uncle Moey.We'll post our Christmas post as soon as we can. Summer's funeral is this next weekend so its gonna be a pretty busy week.

Brandon's First Snow Day!

Yes, I said it. A snow day in Lancaster. And not just a little bit of snow, we got dumped on! We can only post so many pics so the ones we posted are of when it was just snowing for a few hours. If you come visit us then maybe we'll show you the other pics or maybe we'll just post them later. Anyway, Bubba loved the snow. He kept saying "SNOW!" over and over and trying to catch some in his mouth( I taught him that). If it was up to him he would of been outside all day. I kept him out as long as I could but trying to avoid getting him sick I had to bring him inside eventually. Well as you can imagine he had a cow. So later on we went outside and we built a snowman. Well snow/mudd man. We had tons of fun and it made me feel homesick for Mammoth but thankful that we got snow for the Christmas season and for my little Bubba.

We haven't posted since May? Wow.

So there has been a lot going on recently, maybe that is why we have been too busy to blog on here. We finally were able to buy a house! We love it. It will take a lot of time to finish fixing it up of course. We've been in the house for over a month now, and I only have the kitchen painted. It's not even done yet because we have high ceilings and I can't reach the very corner yet. But what is done looks good.

We've been able to have family visit a couple of times, and it was nice for them to have their own room. Oceanbaby's cousins and brothers came over last weekend, and we all figured it would be fun to do some grappling and kick boxing. Well...it was fun, but a week later I still feel it. My ankle is swollen up and bruised really badly, but it was worth it.

I started training at a gym called "Knuckle Up" yesterday. They teach Kickboxing and Jiu Jitsu, and MMA classes. I can't move my left leg today because all I did for an hour straight is drill takedowns. It was a great workout and can't wait to go back.

Oceanbaby and I got a dog, had him for a couple weeks, and then sold him. He was a 10 month old Golden Retreiver. He was sweet and all, but tore up the back yard, ripped wires out of the sprinkler system, and destroyed our hose. He usually was great with our son, but would get to excited and started knocking him over, so we decided we didn't have time to train him, and sold him to someone who will be a great owner for him.

I will post pictures of the house as we fix it up....so don't hold your breath.

Continued from last blog

We also went to my brother Asa's baccaloriate. I probably completley destoyed the spelling of that word but oh well. It's a ceremony his church has every year to honor the high school graduates. You can tell Brandon is so thrilled to take this picture. Also here is a video of Jelly Belly in his new shoes for the first time. He does look a little bit like a mini woodsman. In this video he reminds me of Forrest Gump in his "special shoes". The other pic is just Bubba and Daddio hanging out at the park trying to climb fences again.
