easter fun!

we had a really funny sunny easter weekend! it took me awhile to accept how early easter came this year. i can still hardly believe that it has already come and gone........ helllllllllloooooo people...... it's still march!!!! somehow i managed to pull it together and actually do lots of activities with the family. on friday milo and i attended a good friday gathering at the irvine amphitheater with some of our friends. we had a fun little picnic and milo almost rolled down the grassy hill.... along with a few other babies. it was pretty funny! i don't remember the grass being so steep. saturday i assisted reem with a
silk painting class..... it's a great way to spend the day with girlfriends. saturday afternoon i took milo to see the freaky easter bunny and then we stopped by the bay club to visit moppa and jim. moppa and jim were so happy to see milo and introduce him to some of their friends. i should mention..... while i was running around town.... lorin was doing projects around the house. the project that i'm the most excited about is our new hide-away screen door. yay! it looks sooooo nice and we really needed it. good job daddy! maybe we won't have to encounter anymore scary creatures like the one we removed from the house saturday morning and hopefully i won't come face to face with a treacherous snake/lizard ever again. on easter we went to church and out to nana and papa's house for a big easter egg hunt. lot's of food and lot's of laughing........ laughing at me...... some people were giving me a hard time for being an over protective mommy. i guess one day i'll be the one snickering as some new mommy tries to protect her precious precious from every little thing that may come their way....... big sigh..... but right now i'm still that new mommy. oooops..... i rambled. whatever!

here's a picture of RILO...... that's riley and milo...... of course!

they weren't lying when they said, "IT TAKES A VILLAGE to raise a child"!!!!! i don't know who "they" are but IT'S TRUE!!!!! i don't know where i'd be without the help of my village. the last few months have been very hard on me with how busy i am with work and how busy having a baby/family makes me. i thank GOD that i have an awesome family (on both sides) that has come to the rescue to help. not only does it help giving me some time to get things done..... it's great knowing milo is with people who absolutely adore him. here's some fun with the "village"........ ha ha!

i just had to take milo to see the easter bunny. this is one of those photo moments that is just soooooo classic! hope everyone has a great EASTER! yay spring!

Happy St Patrick's Day!

take your baby to work day (oh wait.... that's everyday) i took milo to LA with me this weekend. we had a great time and he was a well behaved little man. i brought him because i needed a good luck charm....... and it worked. must be the luck of the IRISH! :) he even got a shout out from amy tangerine for wearing one of her delicious tee's........ of course we had to get some more and one for me too!

hi everyone! we are all enjoying the change of season sooooo much. here are some pictures to prove it. despite lo and i being so busy with work...... we have managed to squeeze in tons of special family moments.


this is a very special face.... i think this expression is hilarious!


awwww angel eyes....... this little dog needs some serious "dog whisperer"


i just love what a little Polka-Dot he is in the middle of our bed!


a trip to the dog beach mommy, daddy, boo, bling & auntie tely! chicken soup for the soul!


california love!

riley turned 1! go riley go! these boys are going to be such little buddies. milo gave riley a big bday kiss! i'm really glad they're so close in age. renee has been such a huge support in my mommy metamorphose.

7 months is so awesome! only the tiniest part of me is sad to see milo get so big so fast....... i'm so incredibly in love with him at every single stage. just when lorin and i think our hearts couldn't possibly get any bigger....... they do! i know i'm speaking as if i'm the only mother to have realized this... but seriously babies are AMAZING!

*his new thing is sniffing and scrunching his face.


7 months


this picture reminds me of his 4D ultrasound

this is why we are late to work! we can't get over how magical it is to hear milo laugh.

Happy Birthday Nana! :) we took nana to lunch for her birthday.

oh wow...... look how many updates there have been. i'm so organized and amazing. lorin is so lucky.... his wife is a multi tasking super mombot. :)

King of Messy Land!


big boy!


woobie and dad

Sarah, Sidney & Rocco came to town. Milo loved seeing his friends. We got to hang out a few times. It was so fun seeing what a little nurturer Sidney is. I love that my high school girlfriends are still some of my closest friends. :) Now we can make our babies listen to all our stories.

Love This Face!

or should i say busy mommy? hmmmm? here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks. despite how hectic work has been.... milo and i have been able to include a lot of fun in our days. we've been going to baby yoga once a week and loving all the friends we're making there. we get to stretch and align our chakras. milo is sitting up like an old pro now and just started copying little sounds that we make. too fun!
