Oops! :)

Surprise! Not exactly an oops but most definitely a surprise. We decided that we would try for another baby around September but figured we might as well just let nature take its course and hopefully in a couple months we would be pregnant. Well....it took 9 days. OOPS. If we knew that a week and a half after Todd stepped back on US soil we would be once again expecting we may have rethought this game plan. Aside from becoming a cautionary tale to all who hear this story we are really happy to be expecting another sweet baby.  Matt and Bambino #2 will be about 2.5 years apart and we are really excited to meet this little one!! We couldn't feel more blessed. :)

Off to Seaworld!

Since Matt and Ella have never been to Seaworld we thought we would give it a shot. I think they liked it but Matt prefers animals that make more noise. :)

The USS Iowa

My Uncle has been an artist for as long as I can remember but has never tried to sell his pieces before. This past Christmas he showed me some of his latest work of the USS Iowa which just happened to be in the process of moving to Los Angeles. We made a call and a few short months later his work is being sold on the ship as prints and is even offered on magnets, postcards, mugs and shot glasses. So cool!

Blueberry Picking!

As soon as we got back from Oregon, my sister, Adam and Ella came to visit us. First stop blueberry picking!  We were pretty sceptical that Matt and Ella would actually pick anything(except gross stuff off the floor) but to our surprise they just picked, picked, picked away! Such cuties!

Last day in Oregon :(

We had such a good time with our family here. We can't wait to do it again.

Adorable!

I know he's ours but really, you can't get much cuter!

Seaside and cannon beach!
