Don't Worry Be Happy.

 It has been so crazy around here. I am still dealing with some postpartum and seriously can it just end?!?!?! To help I have decided I need to have a moto and stick with it. Don't Worry Be Happy. This has helped me to:

• calm my voice when I am speaking to Gwen & Brett. Mainly Gwen since she is the 3 year old
• be nice not angry
• be happy not depressed
• smile
• realize that the house will never be as clean as I need it to be 
• be the fun happy person I used to be
• enjoy the little things again
• little steps do help, but it is a process
• don't worry be happy

To help this I got rid of my old camera and got a new camera . One that has HD video so that I will get back to using my nice camera because taking pictures is one of my passions and I just love the video and camera combo! It is so nice to have that back.

Going and doing the things that are fun and that I love are great too. The pumpkin patch always makes me happy. You always get great pictures there. Of course I had to take tons so prepare yourself.



Sisters forever. It will be fun and interesting to see how they develop their relationship together over the years. All of my sisters are WAY older than I am and I never had one close in age, luckily Devon and I were always really close.



Almost a year old in just a couple of weeks.


Almost every picture I took of Gwen is like this. She really was going full throttle with the tongue thing.





Just about every picture of Brett & I is like this. I stick out my arm as far as I can and pray for a good one. YAY for finally having one without braces.



Gwen has totally grown lately. She is soooo tall and can go on every ride at Disneyland now with the exception of Indiana since that is 46". Big Thunder is her favorite.



To end I will share this funny outtake of the girls. Once Brett & I saw it we laughed.

Swimmng & the Pumpkin Patch

Brett's family had been sick and then on vacation for along time so it had been along time since we had all been together. We got together to swim (Gwenie had been begging us forever to go over and swim) luckily it was warm that day, BBQ and then watch the Angels playoff game.

Thanks to PaPa for heating up the jacuzzi and playing with Gwenie. She was soo happy to be swimming and jumping.







Here is my belly for my 35 weeks picture.



We were really sad to hear that the Angel game had been rained out so we changed our plans and went to the pumpkin patch instead. I was a little sad since it was dark outside and pictures at night are just never as good as during the day, but it isn't all about pictures is it??? lol.



All Gwenie wanted to do once we got there was go on the slides. They had this blow up/bounce houses that had the biggest slides. Both Brett and I were amazed at how brave Gwenie was. Both of us thought we would have been timid or scared somewhat to go on them at her age. They were sooooo HUGE. But nope she just kept going on it.



This was the only picture we got with Gwenie looking. She just wanted to get down and go back on the slides.
