Our weekend...

This weekend we had Chad and Jen over for dinner Saturday night.  They brought fruit(always a hit with the kids) and we ordered pizza and let the kids run wild! Sunday night we had a real treat when Uncle Frank and Auntie Sarah came over and cooked us dinner! The girls  play together so well and they spent most of their time in Phia's room decorating her hot pink Christmas tree and other things that princesses do:)  We enjoyed every bite of the yummy meal they made us! We have the best family!!!

Sophia lately...

We've had a lot of insightful and entertaining conversations with Sophia lately.  She's is over the moon about the arrival of her new baby sister and has actually cried a few times because she wants her to be here already!  She's very curious about the pregnancy, loves to feel baby move,  makes sure to give her kisses each night before she goes to bed, and even sings to mommy's tummy:) Here are a few conversations we've had lately:

Yesterday she woke Daddy up and said: "I had the best dream last night Daddy.  I dreamt that I met you before you met mommy and we got married!".  She's still very into marrying Daddy...it's too precious:) She will have no choice but to marry an amazing man with a Daddy like she has!

One night she said she "can't wait to have a baby in her belly" and I explained she has a LOT of things to do before she has a baby and maybe after college.  She said she wants me to come visit her when she goes to college and then said "Mommy when you go to heaven will you always love me?" which of course immediately made mommy tear up.  She also said "When I go to heaven I get to see you"!  So she's grasping the concept of not living forever(very heavy stuff for a 4 year old!!)

On a lighter note.  She saw a lady on tv with a nose ring and she exclaimed "Lady, get that thing out of your nose, you're disgusting me out!".  Made mommy and daddy laugh and made us so proud ha!

The other night she asked me: "Mommy are they gonna hurt you when the baby comes out? I dont want them to hurt you".  She's very very concerned about this.  She often asks me "Mommy are you ok?" So thoughtful our Phia is.

And just this morning she said "Mommy when I grow up I want to be a Star Catcher, A Teacher, A Coach for Baseball, and a Fire Lady"...reach for the stars my princess!!

"Nursing" her baby.  Cannot believe she remembers this but she has it DOWN!!

Bentley 18 month stats

Boy oh boy is he busy! His favorite things are:

*Taking mama by the hand and leading her anywhere in the house
*Directing mama to set at the kids table with him
*Saying "Keeeeen diapeeee" with Daddy
*Riding on the pink trike
*Begging for snacks:)
*Daddy tickling him
*Obsessed with brushing his teeth
*He weighs: 26lbs
*Height: 33.5" tall

He loves taking baths and has mastered the splash! He loves being outside of course and whenever he hears a bird he looks into the sky and says "tweet tweet"(cutest thing ever!).  He's very attached to mama and does not like me showing affection to his brother and sister.  Should be very interesting when new baby arrives!!

Hygiene first!

He's so happppy!!!

2013 Trike-A-thon

This was Phia's 2nd Trike-a-thon and Preston's first.  Phia was so excited that Presto was going to be a part of it.  Presto seriously was a MACHINE.  He went around the track so many times and so fast...he was lapping his friends(can't say we were surprised).  He loves his bike!! He was so proud that Nana and Nonno were there to watch him and had his game face on the entire time.  Phia cracked us up.  Each time she went by she blew kisses to us and winked.  Then, after about 15 laps she announced she was done.  So didn't blame her...it was hot and in the direct sun.  Mommy was tired just watching her.  They had Jamba Juices ready for each kid when they were done.  Such a fun morning with our kiddos!! Oh and mama's friend Ally(who is also preggy and due 2 weeks after mama) was there to watch her kids so we finally got some pregnant pictures together!
