OH THE JOY!

Grandma's brother sent this house that lights up and plays the most obnoxious Rock 'n Roll version of "We Wish you a Merry Christmas," you've ever heard. Well Eva absolutely loves it, she carries it around the house with her saying, "Again, Mommy?" I tell her that she can in the other room, that doesn't usually work. It is pretty cute how much she loves it though.

In other news, we're still waiting on the arrival of baby. Dr. says baby is in good position, dialated to a 2. We'll keep you posted on the big day. In the mean time, we hope all of you have a fabulous Christmas!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Eva had her heart set on being a butterfly. Which I think turned out pretty good.

The prettiest butterfly ever!

Eva and Emma.

PICTURES FROM THE PAST FEW WEEKS

Eric picking out a pumpkin. I thought this was a cool picture of Eric.

Us at the Linder Farm's Pumpkin Patch. Not the best picture of me, but I figured it was time to post one of my pregnant self.

Pictures from a recent photo shoot of Eva. It was not an easy task.

This picture automatically makes me smile!

BACK IN BOISE

Okay, so I know it may sound crazy to some of you, but we did actually move back to Boise. It wasn't that we didn't like California, because we loooove California! To say it as simple as possible, we realized that we did want to live close to both sets of Grandparents and that we are actually supposed to live here in Boise. Do we enjoy moving this much? No, but I sincerely believe we wouldn't have known we were supposed to be here if we hadn't have left. We would have always wondered what life would be like outside of Boise and probably would never be content living here, but now we are and we're happy with the decision. We'll just have to visit our family in California every year to fulfill our love for that area.

Right now we're in the process of house hunting. We put an offer in on a house last week which fell through as of two days ago, we're not sure why since we practically offered full price but we're still hopeful that another house feel right.

In baby news, I finally know which Doctor I'm going to have for the pregnancy. Everything's going well, I'm about 30 weeks along and the baby is due Christmas Day. I'm hoping it comes early!

A Change of Scenery

It's been a very busy last couple of months for us. We first visited my family in WA for about a week and then we headed down to Southern California for a massage course that Eric was taking. Luckily we were able to save money and stay with my brother. After being there for about a month and noticing all the opportunities for Eric to personal train we looked into the possibilities of moving down there. After much thought and prayer we felt like it was something we should do and are now making the huge leap of moving down to Laguna Niguel, CA. We were able to find a house to rent for a few months and see how things go from there. I have to say that being pregnant, it's hard for me to be excited about anything but we are excited and a little nervous to make this move. We both feel good about it and figure it's worth a try. We are planning on heading down next week since Eric will need to start work right away. But I just wanted to let you all know, since I haven't had the time to post anything lately and figured I wouldn't be able to for a little while. It's sad to have to leave family and friends but we'll be back to visit. And you're serioiusly all welcome to visit us, we mean that. We're close to the beach!

Eva's Expecting . . . . .



A New Baby Sister!

Yep, as most of you already know we are
expecting our 2nd girl in December.
We are super excited and so is Eva.

Eva's Baby

Eric's sister, Deborah, actually gave this doll to another neice but for some reason Eva has kept it as her own baby and is completely in love with this doll. She's never done this with any of the dolls I've got her. I think she appreciates the raggediness. Anyway, I catch her singing to it, rocking it and putting it to sleep, it's pretty cute! The other day Eric made her popcorn and she gave a piece to her doll, it's sitting on her hand, we had to take a picture! The second picture is the face she made when Eric asked her to smile with her doll.

Oh yeah, Eva turned two on May 27th, we didn't do anything because she and I were both sick. Kinda sad! But I have to say this age is pretty fun!
