Preggo Photoshoot

 My talented friend Joette took some great pictures of Daniel and I and our sweet baby Emma (still in my belly). We are so excited to meet her!

 I am feeling very big and ready to have this baby!

And here is one last shot of Emma in my belly. We love you Emma and we can't wait for you to be born!

Party Fun!

 Micah was invited to a birthday party for our sweet little friend Brooklyn. It was an "Alice in Wonderland" themed party and Shae (Brooklyn's mom and my awesome friend) did a great job decorating and making things cute for the party.

 Check out these adorable Cheshire Cat cupcakes!

 Brooklyn is in the middle in the above picture.

 Shae put "eat me" on all the yummy lunch food and "drink me" on all the drinks. So cute!

 The party was at a very fun park and Micah and Jonah had a blast playing there! I got a kick out of this tire swing because this was my favorite thing at the playground when I was a kid.

BROTHERS: 

A sisters point of view

by Lea Boyer (2012)

Brothers, brothers, brothers,

Give all the mothers

Big giant pains

And headaches in their brains.

Don't forget the sisters,

Who get all the blisters

When the brother gives a pow,

 It's the sister's turn to say "Ow!"

They're crazy on the outside,

But loving on the inside,

He loves you,

You'll find you love him too.

:)

4th of July

 We had a fantastic 4th of July. We all got on our festive attire and snapped some pictures in the morning. Then we went to the annual 4th of July breakfast/block party that my mom and her neighbors do every year. Yummy!

 Then we drove to Kehoe Beach at Point Reyes. We chose this beach because you have to hike in so it is never crowded. We brought my mom with us and three families that we are really good friends with - The Andersons, Olsens, and Wangsgards.

 Although the scenery was pretty, it was quite the hike for an 8-month-old pregnant woman.

 The kids loved having their friends to play with and Daniel and I loved having our friends to play with. :) It was so much fun to sit and talk and relax and laugh together!

 It was so much fun to have my mom with us too! I'm so glad she came!

 The kids were happy as clams the whole day with sand, water, and friends.

 As you can see, we pretty much had the beach to ourselves. It was so cool to have our own beautiful private beach!

 Daniel took the kids on an adventure as they walked up and down the beach and explored the rocks and huts along the shore.

 Jonah found lots of hermit crabs.

 Daniel got to play Indiana Jones with this seaweed whip he found.

 Beautiful Kehoe Beach! What a great day!
