the guy in the top left photo is.......... LORIN at last years tournament (which I missed because I was in traffic school)
Lorin's Birthday..........

Happy Birthday Mooney!!!!! The NEWPORT LEGENDS rocked the 5 Ds of Dodgeball-dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge. This was the funniest thing I have EVER seen and is by far my new favorite sport to watch!!! They even had a player on their team end up with the MVP award. After the tournament we a had a big birthday BBQ at our house.


my 1st Mother's Day.......


i was as happy as this poodle to spend the morning with Lorin and Bling at the dog beach.....


even the chubby squirrel stopped by to wish me a good one!

Hello Milo!

Well here he is! This is the last time we get to see him until he makes his big debut this summer. The 3D/4D ultrasound is truly an amazing experience. We got to see Milo open his mouth, kick out his little legs, relax with his left arm up by his face (which seems to be his position of choice) and just float in pure baby bliss. Seeing his face for the first time like that was overwhelming and it brought tears straight to my eyes. I can't wait for him to be here but at the same time I am happy to spend the next 3 months with him right here in my tummy kicking and swishing away. We had quite a party there for this big ultrasound......... I am so blessed with this little miracle growing inside.








tonight's the big night!

i can hardly wait for the 3D 4D ultrasound! i've been resting up all afternoon and in about 45 minutes I'm going eat my yummy fruit popsicle and have glass a apple juice to get Milo ready to say Hello to everyone!

I had my Doctors appt today......... bad news........ i have to wear support hose....... :( otherwise the veins on my legs are going to get worse. So if you see me walking around with really tan shiny legs........... DON'T ASK ME FOR CHICKEN WINGS!!!!!! :(

thanks mooney!

there's a hot handy man at my house..........LORIN! i'm his assistant but he's really doing all the work. so far he's managed to fix the window downstairs, paint the upstairs hallway (yellow), redo our front yard by removing all the old plants from the previous owner and planting all new beautiful green tropical-ish plants.......... oh yeah......... and he's pretty much completed little baby Milo's room. it all looks so good. what a difference some paint and major elbow grease can make. :)

new cushions for our kitchen benches..........


fresh paint in our cheery upstairs hallway..........


more home improvements pictures will follow............ :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLING BLING!!!!!! the big 3 or in dog years...... 21 (yikes)



oh boy! birthday presents for bling bling!



enjoying her birthday treats in her new bed....



yay! birthday beach day!



playing with friends



a nice cool rest in the shade before we drive home! it's good to be 3 and to be loved this much!
watch me grow! week 6-23

what's going on?

here i am! my shadow really shocked me yesterday!





ahhhhh the view from my doctors window. i love california! (incase you can't tell that's the ocean out there)
another good doctors appt. she said things are normal and babies heartbeat sounds good. he was kicking when i was there and moving all around.



this is a very long story but after spending all day in los angeles again. i asked lorin to stop by the office to pick up bling bling because i was going to be a little later getting back. when lorin got to the office he found it full of SMOKE and poor bling bling was hiding under a clothing rack scared out of her little tiny mind!!!!!



after searching for fire and not finding anything lorin called 911! 8 fire trucks and a fleet of firemen later...... a fire source was found in my neighbors office. they broke down the door and found a machine that heats minerals off of stuff (i don't really know what it is) but it was left on and the water that it uses to cook had burned away and now it was cooking itself and was going to be a major fire!!!! the firemen said lorin really saved the day. they said that if bling would have been in the office for one more hour she would have died form the smoke inhalation in her tiny lungs. thank GOD things worked out the way they did. lorin saved bling bling and our office...... my hero!




lorin is working on a song for our son. brings a little tear to my eye.



and spring is here....... a peach blossom on our little peach tree that we've had since our cute house in Newport.


in the center of this photo you will see a squirrel. his name is chubby squirrel and he lives in our neighborhood. we have had a few visits from him........ but none as exciting as the one in this palm tree outside our bedroom window.


lorin has been doing construction on the house. after being gone in los angeles all day this is what greeted me when i got home. i will post the before and after pictures of his project soon..... he did such a good job!
