Some pregnancy photos in SLO.

A friend is letting me borrow some

maternity clothing, which is so helpful.

I have a feeling I will grow out of them quickly,

but nonetheless they are tremendously helpful.

This is one of the shirts.

I think I look a little funny pregnant,

but o'well it's not forever and it is

certainly not about me is it...

Dylan is excited for the little boy to come

out, but not sure about the girl. He kisses my

tummy on the side the boy is, it's hilarious. He

always ends with a quick kiss to the girl.

With all our transitions we area so pleased

with Dylan's growth. He is maturing everyday

and doing so great in so many ways. We

couldn't be more pleased to call him our son.

We love him so much and are thrilled to add

two more to our family and see how we all grow

as a family. (Need your prayers though we know

it won't be easy)

Despite having just about every

preganancy side effect I'm ("we" Jason

is effected by the side effects as well) are pressing

on. My latest is my feet are so swollen and painful that

I was unable to put shoes on the other day. I don't have

hypertension, just too much salt in my diet as well as doing

too much. In any case...

"I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way as not beating the air; but I buffet my body and make it my slave, lest possibily, after I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified." (I Cor 9:26-27)

Christmas 2008

This year it was a little crazy. We were getting

ready to move, Jason's parents came, and then

we went up to Susanville (one hr North/East

of Reno) to visit my parents. My parents are

up there temporarily.

Dylan enjoying snow for the first time. We took

a pit stop on the way to Susanville and Dylan

was exploring. He thought it was going to be

light and fluffy like on "Curious George", but

he was suprised...


Dylan was suprised at how cold the snow was, we
forwarned him, but he didn't believe us.

He was ready for gloves.
This was a beautiful spot near Susanville.
We found a local spot for Dylan
and Jason to enjoy sleding.
My mom and Dylan at Christmas.


Nice P.J's from Grandpa and Grandma

Jerry & Dee at our house in San Jose

Dylan still loves Hot Wheels.

Dee started a collection of nut-crackers for Dylan...they keep getting bigger...

Dylan and Riley before Christmas

A friend of Dylan's in San Jose.

They were so cute...Riley dressed up in all Dylan's

construction stuff.

Dylan at a school Christmas performance, so cute.

Cutting down a Christmas Tree in the Los Gatos Mountains

A tradition we have missed

It was truly a beautiful day

Family

Dylan got to bring his class bear home for the weekend so he came with us as well.

I've had really bad morning sickness, so by the time we got to the Christmas tree farm i felt terrible, so it was great to be out walking around...(I look terrible too).

Frosty's Christmas Tree farm, so beautiful
Hey guys peak out a little farther...Dylan just loved playing hide and seek at the farm.

Awe mom do i have to take another picture


This one Dad, this one is perfect

Posing is over the hunt is on for a Christmas Tree

Our Tree
Found one now it's Jason's job

Waiting for the tree to get tied on
The tree is on let's go...

So long...

Thanksigiving 2007

Okay so they are not professional photos and each time we take a family picture someone is missing, but at least we are taking pictures in the midst of all the excitement at the beach.

What a beautiful day it was at our favorite beach, Montana de oro state beach.

Jason was so thrilled he was finally able to pull a starfish off the rocks (after much effort). Cute huh. The unfortunate thing was all the kids were at the shore by the time he actually pulled it off, but I was there and captured the whole moment. Honestly, I'm glad I was there...

My parents. Aren't they looking great for being in their sixties. They are still hiking and they still love each other very much. It was great for us all to be together for a holiday.

Okay so you can probably tell in this photo that i am starting to show. I've actually lost a little weight because i've been throwing up so much. These twins man they are already a handful. If you notice the time of these posts...yes i'm suffering from insomnia and I actually just finished throwing up everything I had for dinner (or should i say the snacks i had). I'm debating now whether or not to go on the anti-nausious medicine the doctor prescribed. Okay, but i'm thankful to be pregnant and it's only a phase.

o'back to Thanksgiving in SLO.

The sun was setting and it was time to go, but I thought this was such a cute photo with my parents and Dylan and Aubrey.

The kids having chocolote milk in my parents backyard. Boy, do they love each other.

Dylan can hardly function when he knows he's going to see his cousins. He gets so excited. They play so well together too. What a great stage in life this is...o'if we could all be five again.

Well, i better get off to bed...I'll post the cutting down the Christmas tree photos on Valentines day...that way i'll stay with my blog holiday routine. Just kidding. Those turned out really cute as well. So i'll be postingn lost on my next insomnia evening, i'm sure there will be another.

Thanksgiving in San Luis with my parents, brother, sister-in-law and kids.

The beach was so beautiful that day...wait dad you didn't make it in this photo.

We'll catch you in the next one. Man my parents look great for being in their sixties.

Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving started out with a bang.

Before going down south Dylan broke a bone in his wrist

at a park in Willow glen.

The doctor said it was a great bone to break because it heals quickly.

October 2007

Carving Pumpkins together. Jason is quite the artist with the pumpkins, so despite differing opinions on to carve or not to carve, we carve! Dylan drew his face on and I helped him cut it out this year. They both really enjoying doing this together (and I enjoy taking pictures...) More to come...

October 2007

Pumpkins...harvest...costumes...

This year Dylan's school field trip was to a great pumpkin patch in Morgan Hill. It was crazy, they had a educational side to the pumpkin patch, which taught the children hands on of how the pumpkins grow; train & tractor rides, displays, corn maze, sunflower fields, it was beautiful.

September 2007

Old friends from San Jose. Riley and Dylan were first friends when they were babies and moving back up to San Jose they got reunited quickly...like it was yesterday.

Melissa and Nate had a second while we were gone, Ciara.

Dylan treats her like a little sister.
