Enjoying Dinner...

... Well enjoying and bathing in it. I think she knows something I don't. Bathing in lasagna must do wonders for the skin. Maybe that is why her skin is so baby soft! Come on skin care companies obviously the babies of the world are in the know of something you don't!

Quick Post

Didn't get a chance to write my post last night, so while I have 2 free hands for the moment I thought I would just post a video I have taken of my Princess In Training.

Wii Fit Baby!!

Halloween night my dear sister let me in on some early information that the Targets in my area were getting a shipment of Wii Fits on Sunday morning. I called Saturday to make sure and found that the Target 5 minutes away would have 22 in the stores the next morning! As soon as I hung up I thought about my game plan. Do I show up right when the stores open hoping that no one knows my secret or do I get there early so I can be first in line? I chose the latter because I wasn't going to take any chances. Paying more than what Nintendo was selling it for was not an option!

Sunday morning I got up and dressed in record time, got out the door and was the first one in the parking lot... at least first customer. Once I saw a car pull up I was out and near the doors. Well the lady that was coming forgot to change her clocks and was an hour early to do some shopping. An hour into my wait people started coming and waiting with me all the while I was thinking who leaked the info? Well Target let the masses know through the ad in the Sunday paper and boy did the masses follow! All in all it was a great time... I met a few people worth meeting! When 8 am came Angela was ready to sprint to the electronics. When the doors opened boy did she run! I won my battle and got my wii fit!

With all the hype I was worried I would be disappointed, but Nintendo does not! Move over Hubs because I have a new love of my life! Who thought video games could help you workout? It works on strength building, Yoga, aerobics, and balance. It tells you whether you are doing it right. My favorite so far... the Hula Hoop! Sadly Angela kicked my butt! I think I am going to forbid her from using it... there is no way I am going to get shown up by an 8 year old! I am finding a new love for Yoga and finding that I always did squats so wrong!

If you haven't purchased the Nintendo Wii you must get in with the times! Nintendo is geared more towards kids, and who could go wrong with moving around while playing video games! I sweat every time I play! If you haven't played Mario Kart you must, because you will be hooked! Who wouldn't like racing loved ones while pelting them with red shells, or waving good bye as you soar by using the bullet! There is no need to worry about games where killing and gore are the appeal!

Angela and I give the Nintendo Wii and the Wii Fit 2 thumbs up! Worth every penny!!

Happy Halloween!!

I have been taking a stab at Aloha Fridays, but since I was boo'd by On The Verge I thought I would do this, since YAY it is Halloween!!! I can't wait to take pictures, because it is Princess In Training's first Halloween and she will be the cutest ladybug by far!!

If you have been boo'd here is how it works:

Go to as many of your blog buddies as you want and tell them they have been boo-ed . Have them pick up this picture and add it to their blog and say with the link who boo-ed them . Put the picture in your sidebar if you want so then others know that you have already been boo-ed , if you post lots and it's not on the main page where everyone will see your boo-ed post!

***If you have tagged me for an award or meme don't worry I didn't forget just busy! Trying to get this place in order before my surgery! I will do them this weekend!!"

Angela's Nemisis!

After swimming for 6 days straight... 2 of which was nonstop swimming... has developed swimmers ear in her right ear. On top of that she fell and scraped her shoulder which has been the slowest healing scrape of all time! When medicine is involved in any ailment think of the Friends episode where Rachel has to be held down just to get eye drops in her eyes. That is Angela to a "T'.

So last night when I put her first set of ear drops I have to hold her down... put the drops in her ear while she screams bloody murder. I was surprised CPS wasn't called on me. Well this morning I got crying and no screaming ... a plus. Tonight she was calm... SCORE!!

Tomorrow kicks off the first event of the 4th of July. The Lakewood Block Party! The family comes and we have a great night! The best part FIREWORKS. There is one downside to tomorrow though... Eric has to work ;0(! Ugh such a bummer! At least he does have 10 consequetive days off coming starting the 4th. Can't wait! So many fun things planned for our last summer as a family of 3.

Before I end this post I would like to say... I MISS YOU BRENNA!!! This pregnancy has turned me into a hermit when I am not keeping Angela busy with summer activities. Want to know what is even more pathetic. She lives one street over. Man I must be the laziest of all preggo women! Well I hope you are have a great Friday and weekend!

What a weekend!!!!

Okay so bear with me, because I have a novel to right!!! So sit back with a glass of wine... or other another beverage you like and enjoy!

So my weekend started Friday with a trip to the state capital to see Phantom of the Opera with my mother in law. This is my Christmas gift from my BIL and his fiance! So the flight went pretty smooth and I was able to get through it without freaking out too bad. I did watch the flight attendants every time turbulence hit just make sure they were still doing their thing. We got there about 1 pm and got to our hotel about 2. The hotel was pretty nice for our overnight trip. After a nap and getting as dolled up as a pregnant woman can get it was time for a night of fun! I got to say I was laughing as soon as my BIL and Erik picked us up. As soon as my BIL got out of the car he looks at me and says "Hey Jaime Lynn"! OMG I was dying!!! Our first stop was the Capitol Buliding for a kodak, or Olympus moment (the camera I do have). My MIL wanted to make sure I saw something other than the play while we were in Sacramento. While there we took some picks and I almost peed my pants (not hard to do since Emma likes to use my bladder as a pillow or ball, since I am not sure if she is head down yet)because of Eriks Governator impressions... man did he nail them!!! They took us to dinner at an Italian restaurant. Even though I was the only one without wine (in time in time!) the food was awesome and this preggo pigged out on some canneloni. After dinner we were off to the play!!! We had great seats and I as soon as it started I got chills. When the chandelier lights up after the auction the chills just ran up and down my spine! I just love the music!!! I saw the movie first and man the movie does not do the play justice! I am so thankful for this gift, because I would have never seen this on my own!! So thank you Brian and Erik for one of the greatest gifts ever!!!

So, while we were at dinner my BIL and Erik dropped a bombshell on us. They have decided to move to Australia. Yes you heard right AUSTRALIA!! They have put in the application, which because their careers are in high demand over there they will be going! This will take about a year to go through the whole process. Even though we will all miss them we will definately be visiting them!!

The trip was great and my weekend ended as it should...well mostly... with the birth of Addyson! Our friends Dennis and Devon welcomed their little girl June 1st (her due date and first child... so jealous) weighing 9 pounds and 20 or 20 1/2 inches long. Sorry I have momnesia and forgot (momnesia is in fact real... saw it on the news) how long. I got to visit and she is absolutely perfect and so beautiful!!! I cannot wait till Emma is born and our daughters can be buddies!

Okay now my weekend was going perfect till my DH took Angela and her cousin Jessica to the park. I was at home and all of a sudden Angela comes in like her sassy says and tells me "Daddy twisted his knee and we tried calling put you wouldn't pick up." I am thinking "no he didn't." Well in walks in... or should I say limps in Eric. He tells me that while he was chasing the girls he jumps off one of the contraptions and lands on his bad knee twisting it. (has been twisted before and just got fully healed not too long ago). Well a stranger at the park kindly let DH borrow her cell phone to call me. Well the phone did ring (our house phone) and I did not recognize the number. Only 4 people have the number, so when a unfamiliar number calls I DO NOT answer it!! I hate telemarketers and refuse to give them the time of day (sorry if this is your profession... at least you get voicemail and not an angry rude person on the other line). Well I tell Eric, I didn't know the number and wasn't answering (he did call 3 times in a row, but I just thought it was an overzealous telemarketer). Also, I did not see that Eric forgot her cell. Oops... bad wife. I hate when he is hurt, because I know he is frustrated when he can't just do what he wants. He is also unable to play softball... he loves playing! I know I am being self involved, but he couldn't have done this at the worst possible time. We are about 2 months away from my due date and a month away from my baby shower, and I have so much to get done. Especially with all these boxes that need to get to the garage. I just may need to find a sucker who will want to help (((hint hint))) ;0)


So here is the rundown of my weekend. I hope you enjoyed your wine or beverage and my little blog HA HA! Oh and stayed tuned on Wednesday. We have our 3D/4D appointment, so I will definately be sharing the pictures and hopefully video (if I can figure it out). I am so excited to see our Emma with her baby fat! I will be 2 days away from my 30 week mark... can you believe I only have 10 weeks to go? WOO HOO!!!
