29 weeks preggy

We are getting closer and closer to being ready for baby boy #2! This week the carpenter is back in the nursery building custom shelving and finishing off the closet. We are having so much fun designing this room. The closet is custom as well as a built in shelving unit outside the closet. Baby is moving around in my tummy like crazy at night so Daddy and I are having fun feeling him flip all over the place. He's VERY low already which is a good sign!

Kidspace Children's Museum!

(we were the first ones at the gate! Sophia is "patiently" waiting for them to open)
Saturday we met Auntie Kelly and Emma for a girls day at the Children's Museum in Pasedena! We had a blast:) The girls were so brave on all the climing exibits and loved the outdoor sand area where they played with huge foam blocks! Next time we go we'll bring our swim suits and shoes for the kids so they can enjoy all the fun water activities. They even had a tricycle obstacle course for the kids outside! Next time we'll also bring the boys with us and they can take our littlest boys in the indoor play area(easier to wrangle them in there)!!
BFF's:)

"Beep Beep"(a glimpse into our future!)

Look how high they are! All the climbing gave Kell and I a chance to chat:)

The girls loved painting! It was genuis. It was a self cleaning painting area:) I want one at home!!

Outside water fun!

Taking a break for a snack:)

Giant spider web climbing exibit!

It was bubble week. Sophia blew different colored bubbles onto paper and she brought her art home for daddy:)

And more climbing! This nice lady helped the girls up and down this huge circular climbing area...very nice of her:)

Auntie Kelly was very brave and went into the dark scary cave with the girls!

Sophia LOVED the dinosaurs

Ventura County Fair

We made our annual trip to the Fair yesterday and it did not disappoint. The weather was overcast which bummed us out a bit since it was perfecto in Simi! In fact this summer has been a cool 85 all summer long in Simi...perfect pool weather:) Anyway, we got to the Fair right when it opened(key) so we had the grounds to ourselves for an hour or so. Presto got to enjoy the rides this year for the first time and he had a BLAST!! Daddy went on all the rides with the kids b/c they wouldn't let mama on with her big tummy. The wouldn't even let me on the merry go round! Sheesh! We had an awesome lunch followed by a HUGE cinnamon roll. Phia got her cotton candy fix, she'd been asking us all day and the kids shared some popcorn! Good times...
The kids loved the animal exibits!


We hadn't used the monkey backpack in a while but decided to try it out and Presto LOVED it! He kept saying "backpack backpack" from Dora LOL.

Presto taking a break on the curb. He looks like such a big boy eating his popcorn:)

And of course he had to "share" some popcorn with Daddy...

Mommy with her men and her 28 week belly!!


Time for rides!!! Of course Phia screamed the entire time "This is soooooo fun!!!" We love our excitable little princess and all her enthusiasm!



Daddy looked so big on these rides. They definitely don't make them for adults!

Phia cannot hear music without busting out in dance! This is one of our very favorite things about her.

Presto got VERY tired while eating lunch. He had to eat the rest of it like this. Our lil' monkey was asleep in the car before we even left the parking lot:)

Nana "made" us eat this wonderfully awesome cinnamon roll...thanks a lot Nana! Ha:)

Phia after we told her it's time for cotton candy!

Last but not least, BT got himself some chocolate covered bacon that he'd been talking about all morning. He ate it all and said it was the best $6 he ever spent!

Mountasia and Farrel's

The second I found out there was a Farrel's in Valencia I knew I had to bring Phia. I remember going to one when I was her age and feeling like I was at Disneyland. We met Nicole and Vivien who live near Farrel's for a morning of games and ice-cream! Phia had a BLAST and even won some sunglasses for Presto:)




We had a blast on the bumper water boats!



The girls modeling their prizes!

And we couldn't forget about Presto...Phia won some glasses for him too:)

27weeks!

(don't mind the crazy pool hair!)
I haven't posted a picture in a while. This one is from last week(27th week). Belly is definitely getting big but this boy has been so good to me! No itchy tummy like I've had with both my previous pregnancies. Dare I say pregnancy is getting easier and easier?! I also sleep like a baby which I know dwindles as I get deeper into the 3rd trimester but I'm super happy right now. We had a bit of a roller coaster the past few weeks at the doctor's office. My doc detected the heart arrhythmia again(every other beat this time) so she sent me back to the specialist who heard and saw a perfect heart with a perfect heartbeat! Ay yay yay. It's awesome to see him in 4D each time but the doc appointments are a big exhausting:( We're just happy knowing baby boy is growing and developing perfectly.

Summertime fun with Leyla!

Last week Leyla started taking the kids to the Lemon Park "spray pool" around the corner from our house and needless to say they had a blast! Leyla was sending me, BT, and Nana pictures all day of the kids enjoying all the water spouts. Preston loves water all over his face and of course drinking as much water as possible. It's such a great feeling to know how much fun they have all day long and how many different things they're exposed to even though they are "at home". We are so blessed with Leyla and are thankful everyday that she loves our kids so much.






Sophia just started eating peas!!! YAY!! Her pediatrician stressed how important greens are for toddlers(DUH!!) so we really started enforcing it and she's been awesome! Leyla rewarded her with a Jamba Juice and Presto reaped the benefits(he ALWAYS eats his peas like a good boy:))

And 2 other pictuers that Leyla texted us last week of our little monkeys!
