Happy 2nd birthday Mac!

This little guy lights up our world. He is kind and loving and full of laughter. He likes to be silly but he isn't afraid to tell in your face if you are doing something he doesn't like. 
He loves eating and always tells us when he is hungry. He likes toast, sandwiches, milk, bacon, oatmeal, yogurt, pancakes with syrup, chocolate, chips, cookies and basically anything else he asks for. Some days I don't ask him what he wants and he has been known to let me know he wants something different.  So far he eats almost everything. 
He got a bike from my parents for his birthday!! He is in heaven. He loves everything with wheels, especially trains. We got the trains out from storage and he sits on the train table all day and plays with it. 
He got his car seat flipped around today like a big boy. Despite the face he was super excited to sit forward. 

According to the pediatrician he should be 6 feet tall at age 18. He is 85% for height and weight. He can recognize colors, shapes, and letters. He loves to sing ABCs, wheels on the bus, twinkle twinkle, and I am a child of God. He doesn't know his animal sounds but loves when we make the noises for him. He likes books about trains and he has finally branched out to watch movies other than thomas. He likes jake, Mickey, and chuggington. Every so often he will tolerate a show the girls are watching, but he would rather play with trains.

Stuffed animals

Rich put the girls to bed and told them to go to sleep. I came to check on them and this is what I found. 2 cute girls with about a thousand stuffed animals surrounding them. Can you find them?

Happy 3rd of July.

The last time I was able to celebrate the 4th of July / third of July in napa was when I was 17. I remember growing up that it was amazing and I have always wanted to be back. Finally this year was our year! 

The kids had a blast. We played, talked with friends, enjoyed the cool weather, and watched the fireworks. 
I can't wait to make this a family tradition. 

So many fun pictures and now I will be spending the next day on the couch to get rid of my swollen feet and drink lots of water. 😀

Bodega bay

Yesterday we took a quick trip to the beach. The kids had a blast. 
Sand, sun, sea shells, and football... What else is there?

JULY?!?!

How did this happen? I am supposed to have a baby in July. Seriously. I already have a baby (who I am trying to potty train. ) so what am I going to do with another one?? 
At 37 weeks now I start to think about what I need to get done. Hmmm. The answer is everything. Sorry baby #4 but we are kind of at a transition time in our lives (11 months in my parents home) but now that I have a job lined up I am hoping all plays out smoothly and after maternity leave we will be on to the next great adventure. 
But seriously. A trip to storage is needed to get our car seat. And maybe a trip to my sister in laws house to borrow a few other things until we get out. Like a bassinet or something for this child to sleep in. 
And receiving blankets. No idea where these went to. Then after we find out what it is we will need some clothes. 😀

Poor baby. Hopefully it feels how much we do love it! The neglect of getting ready for it has no indication of our level of love. We are excited and anxious to meet the baby but are happy for it to stay inside at least a few more weeks.
