More Summer pics

We went to a baseball game last week... Matt mistakenly thought we were supposed to look "bored" in the picture...even though we were...a few of the innings were running pretty slow.

Ready to go swimming!

Belly at 25 weeks

Whew! We're gettin' big. Although, I think it may be about your perspective.
I for sure, I am feeling very pregnant and big. Earlier this week, while enjoying gelatto
at my favorite chocolate shop, I was talking with one of the girls that works there about
baby names. And her reply was, "so...are you expecting?" In my head, I'm thinking, What?!!
How can this big belly be anything but a baby. She goes on to say "Well, I didn't want to say
anything, because I wasnt sure." And last night, I was told that I was very big, and the next
statement was... "are you having twins?!!!?"
Different Perspectives.

Mothers Day

We had a very nice Mothers Day.
Matt surprised me with a gift card to a spa,
and a whole brochure of "treatments" I could choose from.
My dear friend Brenda was given a gift certificate to the same spa,
so we are going to go together. I think I am going to choose the
30 minute private bath soak, and a pedicure. I can't wait to go!
Here are some of our Mothers day pictures:

Winter Boots when it's almost summer? Who knows. Corinne has a mind of her own. She dug these out and wanted to wear them. The idea only lasted for about 10 minutes, but Matt and I got a good laugh out of it. Fashion Diva? She's got a few tricks to learn (from mom of course, :) ) but she is definitely a girly girl. Purses, dolls, and everything pretty.

I had to add this picture too, so you can get a better view of the belly. But don't be deceived, the picture doesnt quite do it....I am much bigger than it appears. I'll add some updated belly pics soon.

Corinne and Zona napping together.

At the Zoo

Today Corinne and I went to the zoo.
I"m not sure what she thought about it all. She
seemed to like it from a distance, but when the animals
got too close she seemed to get a bit nervous.

Peeking over the fence at the elephants.


Corinne really likes monkeys, so I thought she'd love this statue of one.
I set her on it for a picture, at first she was ok...

But then started to be unsure...Maybe she was just
a bit uncomfortable. I wouldnt want to sit on a metal
monkey with his hand on my rear-end either!!

too quiet....

Yesterday Corinne was asking for her cup...I told her that it was on
the kitchen table and told her to go get it. So she left the room to go get it
but she never came back. I didnt think much about it...thought she found herself
something to play with. But then she was gone a while...and she was quiet...too quiet.
So I went to find her, and this is what I find:

Indulging in a Toblerone chocolate bar.

Growing Belly

Here is my belly at 17 weeks.

Easter

Here are a couple of pictures of Corinne in her Easter dress
that I made. Corinne hasn't worn a dress since last summer. When
I put the dress on her earlier this week she hated it. She kept
pulling on the bottom fullness and trying to pull it off. But we kept
it on, and she got used to it.

Rocking the baby to sleep

Corinne likes to rock her dolls, change their diapers,
and feed them milk from her cup. She'll be a great big sister!

Happy Valentines Day

Curled hair

We went from Bed Head to Pretty Hair!
I curled Corinne's hair this morning.
She didn't like it too much...having to sit still--
The goldfish crackers helped...you can see evidence in the first picture

In other news, Matt and I are expecting!
Another baby should be arriving in September.

Bed Head

Corinne woke up from her nap and had wild hair!!
I had to get a couple of pictures and post them.

Corinne and Grandma's Kitty.

In the wagon.

Christmas

Our Christmas ran short this year. The 3 of us ended up with the flu.
Corinne was sick first, and Matt and I came down with it
on Christmas eve, and were sick Christmas day.
So, it wasn't to eventful. (At least in the way we'd hoped)
So there's only a few pictures here.

The highlight of Christmas was Corinne's wagon.
She received a Red wagon..she loved it

Tuesday night Matt came home and informed me
that it was "MNO". (moms night off)
So I didn't have to cook or clean and he told me I could
go out for the evening! So I called Brenda and she
joined me for dinner. We went to On the Border.
Corinne with the flowers Matt brought home for me on Tues.
Isn't he great?

Corinne likes to smell flowers and candles...
even flowers on the pages
of her books.

2nd Anniversary

For our anniversary Matt took me to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.
By far the best meal I"ve ever had in my 22 years of life.
After dinner, we walked the plaza and looked at the Christmas lights.

Our Waitor gave us cheesecake for our Anniversary

Here's a picture of my steak that was cooked so amazingly perfect.
Check out the huge plate of shoestring potatoes.

The Face of Guilt

I wonder who made this mess??
