A new lo and an update

Well I finally got a chance to do a lo! I have been wanting to scrap these pictures so I started with them.

I have tons of baby pictures printed already so I want to start a baby page next.

Daniel is one month old today!! He is getting so big so fast! He is getting chubby cheeks and legs for sure!! FOr the most part he is sleeping and waking up about every 2 hours during the night. During the day he has periods when he is awake and very alert! Here are a few new pictures!



Have a great week!

Daniel's announcement

This is the announcement we sent out thanks to my wonderful friend Michelle! Thanks again!

He's here!!

Daniel Joseph was born on May 29,2008. He was a big baby, he weighed 8 pounds 3 ounces and 20 inches long. We are doing really well and he is eating and sleeping well. So far we feel lucky that he has been so easy!
This picture is at the hospital and he was only a day old.

Yesterday my wonderful friend Michelle L. came over and did her magic with her camera! She took some amazing pictures of Daniel for us and even was nice enough to make my announcement! Thanks again Michelle! I can't stop looking at these photos, the are so professional looking!

A new lo!

I can't believe it but I scrapped yesterday! I wanted to do two pages but I ran out of time before my dr.s appointment. I was cleaning out pictures and putting some away in my regular album when I found this picture and decided I wanted to scrap it right away. I feel like I am behind with scrapping pictures and it's only going to be worse with the baby being born very soon.

I think that Wild Asparagus paper is about 2 years old! I think it turned out pretty good though for how fast I threw it together.

So when I finished I went to the Dr.'s and she seems to think that Daniel will make his appearance some time this weekend. Everyone has asked me how does she know, I don't know but she's the dr. so I guess she has done this a few times! :) I am about 2-3 cm. she said. I have to get some things done around here today and hopefully tomorrow! Today I am going to work on my report cards so I can e-mail them to my sub. And then maybe scrap another page!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

I hope all you mom's and mommies to be have a wondeful Mother's Day! Joe came home with 2 bouquets of flowers for me today and an outfit for baby! We also went to see the movie What happens in Vegas. We had no idea what it was going to be about but it was pretty funny! It was a good pick considering we had no idea what was playing. We are celebrating with both our mom's tomorrow!

This week I had an ultrasound and baby is measuring at 6.5 pounds! YIKES! I about freaked when she told us. But he is head down which surprised me, I didn't think he was yet. Yesterday my dr told me that he is measuring big but after checking me she thinks he will be early, like in two more weeks! So needless to say this will be my last week at work. I hope he can wait till after this week is over! :)

Here is my last photo taken at 35 weeks and 2 days. It was at the community center for Joe's grandpa's 75th birthday party last weekend! I was being a little silly! :)


Have a wonderful Mother's Day again!

One month to go!!!

Yikes! My due date is in one month! I can't believe it! We are slowly getting things ready. The bassinet is together and his carseat is out of the box, just not in the car yet! I have been washing and putting his clothes away. Here are a few pictures from my shower from two weeks ago. It turned out very nice and I got lots of fun stuff!
My yummy cake!



My sister in law made this diaper cake, it made with all diapers and other baby goodies. I want to make her one, she is expecting in early November.


ANd a quilt that my friend made me! I love the colors in it.


I am now 35 weeks but here is my 34 week picture.


Have a great week!

Some new layouts!

Last Friday my friend Michelle and I went to a crop. It has been awhile since I have been to one. I was able to do 3 layouts, well almost 3. I had to finish one up at home. I hope I can make it to one more before the baby comes. I have lots of pictures to catch up on.



I am so sad, my spring break is just about over. :( It went way too fast!! I didn't do much exciting this week. Lots of organizing and cleaning out the baby's room. It is ready for Joe to do his part next! :) We have an fun weekend planned and I know I'll be sad when it's Monday morning!

Have a wonderful weekend!

4D Sonogram

Over the weekend we went for a 3d/4d Ultrasound. It was so amazing to see our baby in color. Of course the little guy was sleeping and a little shy. He had his arm covering his face a majority of the time. We were able to see his face though before heput his arm back over his eyes. Both our parents came along and my bil&sil who are expecting came too! Here are a few, I hope they are not too blurry. I was given a cd but it was much clearer when we saw hime there.




I think he might look like my youngest brother but my mil thought he looked like dh when he was born. We will have to wait another 11 weeks to find out for sure!

Last night we went to the hospital where I will be delivering for an open house. They gave us some good info and it really made us realize how close we are to having a baby!

I am 29 weeks pregnant today! I finally took a new picture! I can't believe how fast time is going! This is me and my big belly!

A new lo!

I woke up early this morning, ate breakfast and made a page! Love how it turned out. I used the new Pencil Lines Sketch for this lo.


This weekend was great! Saturday Michelle and I went to the OC Expo. We were really dissappointed! Last year we got so many more good deals and this year we didn't find too many! The best things I found were Heidi Swapp embellishments. Since we finished in about an hour we headed to a store we stopped at last year too, Scrapbook Oasis.

Yesterday Joe and I had our Valentine's date. We went to Morton's Steakhouse! It was our first time and it was yummy. I am not a big steak eater but I must say it was very delicious! We even got desert which is rare for us. The dinner was so good that I figured the desert must be just as good! I was right!! We shared a huge slice of Key Lime Pie! The waiter we had was so friendly! He didn't charge us for the desert, he put on the recipt that it was our anniversary! We never told him that but hey it was a nice treat!! He got a nice tip from us for his great service!!! :)

Off to the grocery store! :(

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope you had a happy Valentine's Day! We did! We said no gifts this year. When I got home Joe had two bouquets of flowers for me and a few twix bars in front of the vase. Well as I went around the house he hid twix for me everywhere! They are my favorite but during this pregnancy I really love them!

I am now 24 weeks pregnant! I can't believe how fast time is going by! I took a few new pictures of my belly.

I got this idea from Michelle's blog.


Last week my favorite cousin Veronica came to visit! We are really close, she has always been like a sister to me. She came with her new baby girl Eva!! She is 2and a half months old was so so adorable! I didn't want her to go home! Joseph and I are her godparents too! I only wish they lived closer!! She promised to be back soon after our baby is born!

On Saturday when they arrived it was Veronica's birthday so I made a few things for her and of course had to make something for Eva too!




Have a great weekend!

22 weeks and counting!

These pictures were taken on Thursday(1-31) and I feel bigger since taking these pictures!!! Yikes! I am feeling him move so much more now and Joe finally felt him. He was moving a lot one night last week so I put his hand there and sure enough he felt a kick!


We have been busy lately! Seems like time is flying! We are so excited for this coming weekend. My aunt is flying in from Oregon and my cousin, her boyfriend and their new baby girl,Eva, are all coming from Florida!! We will be surprising my grandma this weekend for her 80th birthday with a little party! I am so excited to see our new goddaughter Eva!!! I'm sure I will have tons of pictures next week to share!
Have a great week!

It's a.........

BOY! It's official it is a BOY! We had our ultrasound at 4:30 on Tuesday. We were so excited to see him again. He was moving around for us and even waved! The first thing we saw was his hand and it looked as if he was waving to us! It was too cute! So now we have to agree on a name for our baby boy!!

I hosted a crop at my house yesterday, not as many showed up as said but the four of us had fun and lots of yummy treats! I only finished one lo though! :( I was busy trying to help my mom and mother in law with their pages. I did continue after they all left and did a two pager. This first lo is from our first Ultrasound, not this last one.


This 2 pager is from our first full day in Maui. We found this beautiful beach park while on a drive. It was so nice and empty! We have since seen it on tv on one of the most beautiful beaches of Hawaii show on the Travel channel. It was worth the stop! We were having too much fun here too since we were the only ones on the beach. That is a picture of Joe and his brother getting ready to race on the beach.


Have a great week!

Inspired!

That was me last night! I was looking at some layouts in the scrapbook.com gallery and got inspired to start scrapping. I dug out a lo that I kinda started a few months ago at a crop. I had only cut the paper but nothing was glued down. I had some trouble with the pictures and their placement. I am still not sure about it but hey I got 8 pictures on there!! So here is the first 2pages I finished.

So next I moved onto my one and only picture I took of myself during the first trimester. Well I did take another of my shirt pulled up but that is not scrap-worthy! lol I really had fun with this one. i actually started with a different piece of pp that I really wanted to use and chose some of these to go with it and after I cut it up decided not to even use that one. The picture is not the best and I released after it was glued that I forgot to take out the red eye but oh well! It will do!

So it was getting late but I was on a mission and couldn't stop! :) So I did one of our tree from this year. We don't have many pictures at home from the holidays so I like to scrap our tree just to remember.

I found the trees in a magazine and lifted the idea, love how they turned out!

That's all for tonight! Good night!

18 weeks

These photos were taken on January 3,2008
I realized that I had black on again so I pulled up my sweater for a better look! :)

During my break I was able to do one layout! So sad I know!! I have tons of pictures waiting to be scrapped! I need to go to a crop night to catch up!!

Happy New Year!

Hope you have a wonderful New Year's Eve! We stayed home and just had my parents over for dinner! Joe has been really sick the last few days so he even went to bed shortly after dinner. My parents and I hung out but we could not make it till midnight. They left around 9:30 and I went to bed at 11:00. I can't believe how fast 2007 went by! Time sure flies and I am getting older! But 2007 was really a great year for us! Here is my list of memories or things that stand out:
*went to Monterey for the first time-loved it there
*did a lot of work on the house
*turned 30!!
*went Maui for the second time and watched my brother get married
*got pregnant :)
That's all for now but I know there must be more!

Our Christmas was wonderful! We spent Christmas Eve with my family and Day with his. It went by way too fast. I am really sad it's over but so looking forward to next year!

I am sharing a canvas that I made for my mom for Christmas. I made it the night before CHristmas eve and was really happy with it!And my mom loved, she said she didn't need another gift. Can't wait to make one for myself!

Also at the same time in between waiting for the paint to dry I made this frame for my sil. I bought it months ago at Michaels for $1.00 and love how easy it was. I will have to pick up another one because they are fun little gifts to give!


Hope you have a wonderful 2008!

Oh so YUMMY!

I am making my favorite cookies! I love peanut butter cookies and love snickers so when I found this recipe I had to try them last year and they have become one of my favorite cookies ever! They are best right out of the oven!
Here is where you can find the recipe if you are interested.
http://ahafermann.typepad.com/my_thoughts_exactly_well_/2006/10/index.html
So I mentioned that peanut butter cookies are my favorite, so I also made these ones with Kisses in them!
I have also been making sugar cookies and starting on rice crispy treats!

Last weekend dh had his work party at the Newport Beach Harbor. We watched the boat parade and joined in at the end and cruised the harbor. It was a lot of fun and so much better than sitting down at a restaurant. We even got a $100 gift card to Morton's Steakhouse! We have heard how yummy it is and have never been so now we are going to have to try it! Here is a picture of just one of the many yacht's that cruised by decorated with lights!


Back to baking!

Bad Blogger!

Lately I have been such a bad blogger! Things have been super busy around here so I guess that is part of the reason! Our Thanksgiving was great! It seems like it was so long ago. Unfortunalty my sil's 20 yr old cousin died the day after Thanksgiving. We had gone away for the weekend and didn't find out until we came home. He was trying to catch up to a friend who had made it through a light and was speeding, lost control of the car and went down the side of the road. His brother the passenger flew out the window and survived. I right away started making a scrapbook with my sil of her cousin who past away and we finished last Saturday. She had it out at the viewing last weekend. Today is the funeral. They have been waiting for the brother to get out of the hospital.
On to happier things! We are pregnant!!! I am now 14 weeks but last SUnday after we got back from the viewing and eating at BJ's I decided I should take my picture. I am feeling very bloated here! I am 13weeks and 3 days in this picture.

Thursday night we went to pick out a tree! We have always gotten a Noble Fir however Joe growing up always got a DOuglas Fir. I personally think they look like a bush! So when we first got married he said every other year he gets his tree. Well the last 3 years I have won! This year we decided to get something different. We picked out a Grand Fir. Made him happy because it's similar to a Douglas but much prettier! So here is our Grand tree we decorated last night!

Ok I am off to clean up and then go Christmas shopping!!!

GRASS!

Finally after about six months we have grass! It's so weird to look outside and see it all green! I am so happy it's done! My dad, brother and father in law all helped Joe and were finished in no time! SO glad they came to help!

A new lo

This is one of my favorites from the crop on Saturday. I love the picture of my family at the luau in Maui!


My haircut turned out really cute! Danielle did a great job! But of course I haven't taken a picture yet! Hopefully this weekend.

I am so glad it's Friday tomorrow! It was a short work week but I had report cards due today. All week I have been working on them and testing the kids at school. SO glad that's all done. Now it's conference time! But no kids next week so that will be kinda nice! We have a busy weekend ahead. A craft show tomorrow with a friend. Saturday we are FINALLY putting in grass in the front yard, I'm sure the neighbors will be happy too! Also Saturday we are going to my SIL PAtty's 30th birthday party. Sunday I may start some Christmas shopping! Can't wait for the holidays! Love this time of year!
