Palm Springs 2013!

The kids love heading to the desert.  We stayed 3 nights in La Quinta.  We had our breakfast each morning by the pool followed by pool time.  Our first day we hit the Children's Museum where the kids went grocery shopping in the mini store and made us pizza in the pizzeria! Bentley loved painting the VW bug for the first time.  We spent one day at The Living Desert.  It was our first time there and we loved it! There was  a beautiful carousel for the kids and they loved riding a camel! Presto's favorite part hands down was the huge model train village.  He could've spent all day there.  Sophia said "I'd rather be taking a nap".  No joke.  We laughed so hard b/c that's saying a lot...she despises naps!! Our last evening we had dinner with one of Daddy's friends from work and their 3 kiddies and Las Consuelas (our very favorite eatery in Palm Springs).  It was a perfect warm night so we sat out on the loud patio with lots of music and loud parties so the kids could be kids!

Daddy/kiddie dancing time!

Breakfast by the pool

Presto couldn't take his eyes off the trains

The hightlight of the Living Desert was the camel ride!

B LOVED HIS GUACAMOLE!!

Too much cuteness!

Home sweet home...

Easter festivities continued...

The Easter Bunny arrived again just when Nana and Nonno brought over Easter dinner! He must've known the kids already had WAY too much candy b/c these baskets were filled with clothes, art supplies and a few toys instead.  Perfect:)  Both Presto and Phia got watches.  Phia a princess watch and Presto a Monster's Inc watch.  He proudly shows it to people and says "Look, it's Mike Wasowski!".  We had a very low key/perfect Easter evening!

17 months: Car Seat, Allergies, and new words OH MY!

Playing footsie with Presto!

Bentley has some new words and they're absolutely adorable!! When Daddy changes his diaper he always says "cleannnnnn diapppppy" so now Bentley walks around the house saying "Keeeen Daddda"(for clean diapy).  He also says "laloon" for balloon and a very clear "Cheese" and holds up any item he can to his eyes like he's taking a picture.  He also very emphatically shakes his head "NO" when he doesn't want something.  Weallergy tested him last week and sadly found out that he's HIGHLY allergic to the following(most of which we knew but now it's confirmed): Eggs, Soy, Milk, Peanut Butter(highest allergic reaction), Mustard, Olives, Dogs, Histamine(which is in most processed foods).  Poor guy is on a pretty limited diet.  I mistakenly gave him string cheese 2 days ago and his eye is still swollen! We feed him very basic foods and try not to stray otherwise he'll react with a with a swollen, red, ithcy, face IMMEDIATELY.

Playing peek-a-boo with mommy:)

Bentley was OVER IT!! So we turned him around when we got home from Palm Springs and he's in heaven:)

Mowing the sidewalk on his morning walk with mama!

31 weeks preggy

LOOK AT THAT BELLY!!! I feel so much bigger than all my other pregnancies which is why it's so weird I'm measuring "behind".  Doctor assures us everything is a-ok! These pictures were taken a week ago(I'm now 32 weeks!) She's wiggling around all the time and we just cannot wait to meet her.  Her nursery is coming along nicely and the kiddies love to see the progress.  Will post pictures soon!
