June Birthdays
Both my mom and Clint celebrated birthdays this month. We had lots of fun for each of their celebrations!
Patrick's First Father's Day
We got to celebrate Patrick's first Father's Day (although next year will be the official one!). He has been working on his garden and it is growing like crazy. So for his special day we worked in the garden putting up fencing for his tomatoes.
He is growing tomatoes, corn, carrots, lettuce, onions, peppers, basil thyme, squash and melons. We have been eating the lettuce and using the basil so far. Patrick got to cut his first squash yesterday. So we are hoping for lots of yummy treats throughout the summer!
We are now 25 weeks prego! We are moving right along. It has been wonderful weather - not too hot, so I am very thankful! Our little guy is growing each week. We both get to feel him kicking and moving around in there. He is quite active! So we'll see what he is like when he arrives! I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going. We have 3 more months before we get to meet our little guy. We are so excited!!

We had a terrific time celebrating Clint's graduation from UC San Diego. We spent the weekend going to 3 different graduation ceremonies. Some were for all graduations and one was for engineers. Clint graduates with a degree in Aerospace Engineering... Pretty impressive!!

Michelle's Shower
I helped to throw my friend Michelle a shower. She is expecting twin girls! It was a group effort and Kellie made the cakes - how cute are they! She was inspired by the invitations that Jennifer and I made - Jennifer is the brains behind the operation, I just helped! It was a fun time and Michelle got lots of cute girly things!
21 Weeks Prego!
We are officially half way there! I can't believe how fast it is going by. I have a little bump that keeps growing bigger each week. I can now feel him moving around and kicking all over the place. We got to do our baby registry at Babies R Us and Restoration Hardware Baby & Child. It is amazing how much stuff this little baby needs! It was pretty overwhelming to begin with, but I have great friends who helped us out to figure out what we really need.
We had an ultrasound and he is measuring perfect - right on schedule. Our due date is September 29th. I couldn't believe how much he moves around in there. While we were getting our ultrasound he was sucking his thumb, he did a few flips and would not stay still. It was amazing. He has grown so much. He now weighs 15 oz. We got to see his arms and legs and his strong heart. I still can't believe that there is this little one inside. God is amazing!
This is his profile shot while trying to suck his thumb!
This is his face.
And there is no doubt that we are having a boy!! =)

16 Weeks - Its a BOY!!
We are now 16 weeks pregnant and made an appointment at an ultrasound place to find out if we were having a boy or girl! We couldn't wait until our scheduled doctor visit at 20 weeks to find out!! The entire day I was so nervous and anxious. Patrick and I drove to the place and I could barely focus. We ended up having to wait about half an hour before they saw us. And I don't know if I have ever been that nervous in my entire life! But once we got to see our little guy moving around and see how much he had grown it was priceless. They were 100% positive that it is a boy. We couldn't be happier!!!

April Fools
Yesterday Patrick gets a phone call, and all I heard was "wow, really, are you sure, ok, well I'll tell her." So of course I asked who it was, Patrick said it was my doctor and she had some news for us. My heart started racing thinking of all sorts of things (I had just had my blood work done, did they find something, etc) and Patrick says "She looked at our sonogram again and saw that we are really having twins!"
Of course I freak out, saying "are you serious???" over and over again. By this time I am standing on the couch looking at Patrick. And Patrick has the best poker face ever. Then says "April Fools!"
He totally got me!!

Big News . . .
The big news is that we are expecting our first baby!! Currently we are 14 weeks preggo. Our due date is Sept. 29th. I had a lot of morning sickness during the first trimester but thank goodness that is now over. I am feeling good and have a little belly. We are so excited!! We should find out if we are having a boy or a girl in a few weeks. We can't wait!
The sonogram is from our nine week appointment. Our little one looks like a little bean, but is growing and has a strong heart beat.

Hooray for a new oven!!
Our oven was original to the house, so it had seen better days. Only one of the ovens worked and not all the time. So it was time for a new one. Patrick decided that he should paint the cabinets at the same time, since they were going to have to cut the cabinets to make room for the new one. After months of ordering and reordering ovens - a long story, we finally got our new oven and microwave installed!! Yeah!!
Check out the before and after pics - what a difference!

Snow in December!
Yeah for snow!! It snowed today, probably about 3 to 5 inches at our house! There was enough snow that I got a snow day and got to stay home! Sadly, Patrick had to go to work. It snowed a little last year (just a dusting) in El Dorado Hills, but not at our house. We were so excited to have snow, Patrick woke up at 5 am just to see it.
This is our street and house!
And us playing in the snow!

New Orleans Summer 2009
We spent some time with our church working in New Orleans. We had a good time serving and working on people's houses. There is so much damage still left. There are many abandoned buildings, people are living in buildings that are not safe because they have no where else to go.
We worked on a few different projects while we were there. The first place we worked was Ms. Barbara's house. We put up ins insulation and dry wall on the back side of her home. It was unbelievably hot and humid. Over 100 degrees with humidity!! And the place where we were staying didn't have air conditioning. Surprisingly, you get used to it after a while. On Ms. Barbara's street three people had been murdered the week before we got there. We got to talk with a guy next door one day and he told us about the neighborhood.
I worked at a house where a family had rebuilt it completely themselves and they were currently living in a FMA trailer in their front yard. We helped them finish the kitchen, grout the bathroom, install wood floors, paint, and anything else we could do. They showed us their pictures from Hurricane Katrina. They had a house that floated from two blocks away in their backyard. They said that when they came back to their house there were vehicles on tops of roofs, they actually watched one roll off their neighbors garage. It is crazy to think that this happened in our country.
We also worked at the Big house, which was purchased for $12,000. I got to use a nail gun, which was quite an experience! We also passed out fliers for a free barbecue we were having in the part to the neighborhood around the Big House. It was a pretty eye opening experience when some of the neighbors said they wouldn't go to the park "because people get shot at that park." Also has we were walking around the neighborhood cars would come rolling up behind us and the windows were so black that you couldn't see anything inside the car. Drive by shootings crossed my mind.
The outreach was successful. We played with the kids with footballs, water balloons, and face paint. They loved playing with us and having our full attention. We gave out drinks, chips, hot dogs and chili. People who came were very thankful. As we were leaving (before it got dark) there were more and more people showing up. It made us trust the Lord a lot!
While we were in New Orleans, we got to see a lot of great things, we took a walking tour of the French Quarter and learned a ton from our guide. We were there the week before July 4th, so there were lots of people in town.
We learned so much! We can't wait to go back next year.

Thanksgiving in Hawaii
We had a wonderful time spending 5 nights in Hawaii. We stayed on the Big Island at the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel. It was awesome!! Our resort was right on the beach. So our biggest decision was laying by the beach or by the pool. We ate fabulous food and enjoyed the time to rest and relax.

Santa Barbara
We took a weekend to go visit our friends Erin and Erik in Santa Barbara. It was so great to see them and their son Josiah! He is so cute! The weather was cool, but it was nice to get away from all our heat. Erin and Erik leave a couple blocks from the beach. We had a great time walking to the beach and hanging out.
