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.

OC Fair 2009

We just love the fair! It has been a tradition that we go ever year with Brett's family. I think I had only been one other time when I was 19 on a date otherwise I never went growing up. Being almost 6 months pregnant did not deter me! I wanted my fried zucchini, and it was everything I had hoped for.

We got there before Brett's parents and Kami so we took Gwenie to see the livestock.



This cow (I forget what they call it specifically) had the hugest horns ever!!!



Last year Gwenie rode the horses and she LOVED it, so that is what we did first this year and again she loved it. Here is last years OC fair post.







After we ate all of our yummy, to much of it to eat it all, food we took Gwenie on rides. She was not tall enough last year for any of them so this was our first experience with it. She wanted the slide first. I said I would go on it with her since it is just a slide.

Here we are before we get on the ride. Before I had any idea of what I was getting myself into. Like my new sunglasses that I just got that day at the fair?



Ready....Set...



Go!



It went soooo fast, I was not prepared.

I needed a break, hehe.



Then she rode the pirate ship



the airplane



and then we did the slide again. She loved that the most.

Brett did not want Kami to take his picture while Gwenie and I were on the slide a second time, he is so funny.



She got this good one of Mom & Dad, to bad we didn't get any with Kami in it. Did you plan that Kami???



We took Gwenie to the petting zoo portion of the fair since she loves animals and loved it last time, but this time she wanted someone to hold her the whole time. It was really cool to be there. This year they had Kangaroos and baby deer and lots of baby pigs that they did not have last year. So sad I didn't get a cute picture of Gwenie hugging a goat this year.(see last years post)

After all of that we walked around and got dessert, but not before we got one pic of Gwenie in some cheese!



It was a great time! If you are ever in the OC (don't call it that) around July/August don't forget to stop by the Fair.

Valentines Party.

Our playgroup had a little Valentines party today. It was so fun to pass out Valentines to all the kids, I spent the night before writing everyones name on their little valentine, I loved it.

The kids all loved being outside since it has been POURING rain for a long time now. It wasn't raining but it was really cold outside.



Gwenie just wanted to say cheese along with the boys. I was so glad that she was in a good mood. She had not been feeling well and did not sleep really great last night, which is sooooo not like her. She is getting in alot of teeth and I was thinking that she might have a bladder infection because she had been acting weird yesterday, but so far today she has been fine.



Gavin and Brody. Buds forever. These guys are so cute together.



This girl loves the slides. Boy was I happy that she was happy and having a great time. (Aside from the couple of times that she screamed for no reason, sorry girls, I bet it hurt your ears.) I was hoping that she would get tired and take a great nap and she did, 3 1/2 hours!!! She totally needed it.



Thanks Abby for organizing the party. I didn't get to eat anything but a little cupcake since I was talking to everyone and chasing after Gwenie, to bad since there was a ton of food.
