Belly Pic - 33 weeks

Before I forget to post this, here is a belly pic taken today at 33 weeks 1 day. I'm feeling pretty good and looking forward to the end. Sleeping at night is pretty tough but I have been going to bed early so I can get enough sleep or at least trying to.

3D/4D Ultrasound

Today I got to see the baby for the first time in 3D/4D!! This was a very generous gift given to me by my cousin, May and her sister-in-law, Bettina. This was attempt #2 since last week the baby wasn't cooperating and was covering his face with his hands. I'm so glad it worked out this time and I got to see him! Hopefully you can see his face and he has his arm right by his face too. I think he looks just like Savanna and Owen! At least he has their nose and lips from what I can tell! So cute! Thanks again May and Bettina! I loved it!

Savanna's 6th Birthday Party!

We held Savanna's 6th birthday party on Saturday, June 26th. We had two parties, one in the morning for Savanna's classmates and then another one in the late afternoon for family. I was too scared to have one big party like we did last year because there were way too many people and it was quite chaotic. This year it worked out perfectly! Not too many people and we all had a great time! The theme of her party this year was Wizards of Waverly Place. Savanna really likes Selena Gomez, especially since she sings and dances too!



Here is our food spread for the morning party. The kids always love the chocolate fountain:


Time for cupcakes:


I also set up a "Make Your Own Pretzel Wand" station. It was a hit!


Group pic of the morning party. These kids are so sweet:

Special thanks to my Aunt, Mom and Dad for cooking and helping out with the party:

And another special thanks to my cousin Angelo for his wonderful creativity with the invitations and thank you cards:

Belly Pic - 29 Weeks

Here I am, growing rapidly now, at 29 weeks and 2 days on June 24th. The baby has been kicking like there is no tomorrow! Especially at 2am, he loves to let me know he's awake! Excuse the crooked pic, I had to have my assistant photographer, Savanna, take the pic for me since Justin was gone.

Happy 6th Birthday Savanna!

On the actual day of Savanna's birthday, we didn't really do much since Justin was out of town and we were having her party that following weekend. I told her we could do whatever she wanted and her reaction was, "Really?!" :) So we started the morning by going to the store and getting donuts. We only get donuts on special occasions and I thought this qualified as one. Then when we got home, we opened some presents.

Thanks to Aunt Paula for the stickers and cute bracelets!

Thanks to Aunt Jordan and Uncle Joey for the piggy bank!


And special thanks to Gramma for always sending Owen and Max presents too!


Thanks Gramma for the clothes, jewelry, new bathing suit and singing pig!

Since the theme of her birthday party was Wizards of Waverly Place, Justin and I bought her some WOWP themed presents. We also got her the Selena Gomez CD and she loved it!

Then for lunch, we went to Red Robin since I always get a coupon for a free meal on birthdays. She loved it when they sang to her and she got a free ice cream dessert.


Then as a surprise, after lunch I took her to get a pedicure. It was so relaxing for me and Savanna absolutely loved getting her toes done with pretty flowers too. They didn't charge me for Savanna's flowers since it was her birthday and I thought that was so sweet! Thank you Nail Palace and Spa!


And a very, very special THANKS to my Dad for coming down and spending time with us and for watching Owen while I took Savanna to get our pedicures. We love you!

This was another special gift we received in the mail from the Curtis Family, thank you! Savanna loves wearing all her new clothes!

Graduation Videos

Okay I think I've figured out how to post the videos. Hope it works for you all! You'll have to excuse my very non-professional video taking. I didn't know that with our new camera, if I zoom while shooting video, the sound gets muted. So it cuts out in the spots where I zoom in or out on Savanna and I apologize for that. Lesson learned here! I guess I should have read the manual after we bought the camera! (oops) And if it's shaky in places, that because a little boy named Owen kept tugging at my arm, so please excuse that as well.



Their first song is called "The Kindergarten Class." Savanna is in the second row from the top in the middle.

The next three songs were a bit longer and this program would only let me upload the first two minutes. But at least you get a little preview of it, right? Right? :)

Their second song is called, "The World is a Rainbow":

Their third song is "What a Wonderful World." This was my favorite and it made me very teary eyed! And it was hard to shoot video while Owen was tugging at my arm and I was half crying! :)

Their last song was "Aloha OE." This was also a tear jerker for me. I did quite a bit of zooming in and out on this one so you probably won't hear half of it. Sorry again!

This is her certificate presentation. The assistant principal asked her what she wants to be when she grows up and she said, "A Make-Up Stylist." I don't know when it changed from teacher and doctor to make-up stylist, but she's sticking to it! :)
