confession....

I bought a sassy new stroller. I love strollers. Really I do. Why? I have no idea. Most of them are rediculously expensive and completely unnecessary, but I still love them. So, with a little bit of our stimulus check, a really good sale (over $100 off), no shipping or tax I went crazy and bought a red Phil & Teds Sport with doubles seat. Oh how I love it. It has over 4 configurations, allows me to tote 2 kids, but be as wide and long as a single stroller. Oh, it makes the corners of my mouth turn to a smile when I look at it.

Some women covet shoes....I covet a good stroller.

I love the zoo

Honestly it is my favorite place to go as a family. We had the most beautiful weather on Saturday and tried to soak up as much of the sun as we could. However, the traffic was terrible and it took us over an hour to get there!! But, it turned out great and I will remember playing in the grass with my kids that day forever.

The coolest thing happened while we were searching out the elephants. As Supergirl was calling to them, and Superboy was doing his best elephant imitation (basically spitting with his hand at his mouth like a trunk) we hear the monkeys going crazy! We wheel on over and there are two Asiamangs in a tree right by the pathway. Note: we have NEVER seen the asiamangs when we go to the zoo, they are always hiding, or not even there. So, the fact that they were even visible was pretty cool. But these two monkeys were calling, and screaming and hooting so loud back and forth to each other. One would start to swing on a branch and make a call that sounded so much like a Tarzan yell that it was funny. We stood there for a long time just watching them goof off. Everytime they would yell Supergirl would turn to me and say, "Silly monkeys" and Superboy just sat in his seat mimicking them "Hoo Oooh!". It was a great day.

The belly gets bigger...

I am not good at posting these on time, but here is my 32 weeks belly pic, but I am 33 weeks now. Oh well. Everything is still great. The baby is definitely getting bigger, and things are getting cramped inside. The baby loves to get his/her little bum way up in my right ribs. I'll update if anything exciting happens, but as of now it is just the waiting game for another 5-6 weeks. :)

State 2008

Whew! What a weekend. I just got back from taking my team to the State Dance/Drill competition in Yakima, WA. We had such a good time, and the girls did awesome! I am so proud of how hard this team worked. It was long, exhausting, nevermind that I am 8 mos pregnant. I am so happy that I had the opportunity to coach this team. I am going to miss our graduating Seniors a lot, but I am also really excited to start things up again for next year!

Killing time before the comp. starts on Saturday.

SMILE!

Here is a youtube link to their Drill performance. We took 3rd in the State. Not too shabby! ;)

30 weeks

Preggy update. I am now 30 weeks and a few days. Everything is fine, although I am feeling a lot more tired than I was last month. This is my first baby to prefer somersaults over kicks. Honestly, there are days when this kid seems to just keep rolling around. I have a Dr's appointment tomorrow, so hopefully all will still be progressing well.

Pacific Science Center

We had such a great day at the Science Center in Seattle. I was nervous that the activities would be to "big kid" for Supergirl and Superboy. My worries were for naught, because the museum was awsome. There was a huge exhibit all about tress. There were play areas, activites, puzzles, building stations, etc that all dealt with our forests and wood. The kids had so much fun! There was also an entire "Tot" section, full of so many fun climb-on toys, instruments and bubbles, that we could have stayed for hours. We had so much fun!

"POP"

My tummy that is. I am now 27 weeks, almost 28, and everything looks great. I can't believe I only have 11 or 12 weeks left! Heartbeat is at 148, we are measuring right on and the doctor is happy :) We really are in the home-stretch now. Can't wait for this little superbaby to arrive!

Disneyland

We went to Disneyland last week with my entire side of the family and had so much fun. I will write more about our adventures, but here are just a few pictures to share for now.

Supergirl's January Journal

I'm going to copycat my dear friend Kristie and post Supergirl's January journal. J and Supergirl attend the same preschool and at the end of each month they bring home their journal. It is a collection of dictations that they give to their teacher based on the topic/letter/idea of the day. They can be pretty funny and make absolutely no sense, but I love them anyways.

Snow:

- I like snow.
- I play in snow with a snowman.
- I eat snow.
- I throw snow at Mommy. (this is true :) )

Polar Bears:

- Polar Bears live in the snow.
- Polar Bears sleep in the snow.
- Polar Bears roll in the snow.
- Polar Bears eat snow and fish. Polar bears catch the fish in the water. I don't eat fish, we eat crabs. (which is entirely untrue, we love fish. But, we love crabs too. Guess the little pinchy buggers made an impression on her.)

A Trip to the Moon:

- When I go to the moon I will take an apple. (what a sensible snack)
-I will wear a space one clothes to the moon but I don't have some so I will buy some to the store.
- I will ride int he rocket to the moon.
- The new guy (who is this?) will take me and Mom to the moon. Daddy is at work. We will be happy to ride on the rocket.
- I will see a rocket bunny out the window of my rocket on the way to the moon.
- I will do a bouncy ball and slide on the moon.

And incase you, like I, seem to be curious about a Rocket Bunny, check him out in Supergirl's illustration. Can you see his two pointy ears and whiskers? Inside the rocket ship are Daddy, Mommy, S.G and S.B. Oh, and that is the rocket fire shooting off of the rocket. :)

I was book-tagged by my dear friend Monique. So here goes!

The rules are as follows:
1. Pick up the nearest book (at least 123 pages)
2. Open the book to page 123
3. Find the fifth sentence
4. Post the next 5 sentences
5. Tag 5 people

The closest book to me is a baby names book, so that wont really work. But in case you're curious, the 5th name on p.123 is Marguerite (French) a form of Margaret.

The next closest book with actual sentences is my quad.

P. 123 Exodus 28
25 And the other two ends of the two wrethen chains thou shalt fatten in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod before it.
26 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the breastplate in the border thereof, which is in the side of the ephod inward.
27 And two other rings of gold thou shalt make, and shalt put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart thereof, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
28 And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.
29 And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgement upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place for a memorial before the Lord continually.

Hmmm... so there you go, Ephod and all

I tag Amber, Ashley, Bonnie, Janice, and Michelle. Hopefully you will get a better selection than me :)
