send vibes...

June 2 is the due date, just a few more days.  So we are all just waiting for this to happen.  I think i hate the waiting game more this time then the first time.  I like to be on a schedule and know when things are going to happen.  It might drive me insane.  And add on all the pain, argh.  Please send me the vibes to get this going.

We love when Amazon gives us free gifts unintentionally

We love when Amazon gives us free gifts unintentionally....we got a huge box of baby stuff that we ordered from amazon on Monday.  But the best gift was the wrapping paper they had in there.  Julia ran up and down on this thing for quite some time.  I think I will roll it up and keep it as a toy, unless she tears it up first.

Julia and Dada PlayTime

May 2, 2012 - Julia and Dada PlayTime

I love these photos! They make me smile. They are best friends!!

Elmo in the High Chair

Julia thinks it so fun to put her stuffed animals in her high chair and try to click them in.  Elmo was the first victim.  I believe she has tried with about 10 other stuffed animals since.

"Hello"

Julia loved playing in this little ikea box storage thing.  She kept knocking on it like a door and walking inside and saying "Hello."

Harry Potter

Julia as Harry Potter.....

o yes, i laughed and laughed and laughed

Duck

May 11, 2012 (Also known as Amanda Barlow's 21st Birthday!)

Julia found her duck at Babies R Us.  Riley's co-worker gave her this exact duck to her last year because she was a duck for Halloween.

Special Lessons (Rasband)

Special Lessons

Ronald A. Rasband

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

April 2012 Conference

Talk: http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2012/04/special-lessons?lang=eng

Highlights to me:

*Put simply, this life is training for eternal exaltation, and that process means tests and trials. It has always been so, and no one is spared.

*“And now it came to pass that the burdens which were laid upon Alma and his brethren were made light; yea, the Lord did strengthen them that they could bear up their burdens with ease, and they did submit cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the Lord." Mosiah 24:15

*Thus another special lesson learned: If you come upon a person who is drowning, would you ask if they need help—or would it be better to just jump in and save them from the deepening waters? The offer, while well meaning and often given, “Let me know if I can help” is really no help at all.

* “God bless all who endeavor to be their brother’s keeper, who give to ameliorate suffering, who strive with all that is good within them to make a better world. Have you noticed that such individuals have a brighter smile? Their footsteps are more certain. They have an aura about them of contentment and satisfaction … for one cannot participate in helping others without experiencing a rich blessing himself.” (President Monson)

Shake A Leg At It

Room Time

This is how I often find Julia in her morning "room time" (playtime by herself).  She loves all her stuffed animals.

Tot Lot

We have a tot lot at our complex and absolutely love going to it almost every day.  Julia loves going down the slide and says "Weeee."  She likes putting the wood chips into the holes on the play gym.  She also likes running in circles around the playground.  We have made a few neighborhood friends that are always willing to play with her when we are there.

April 28 - Ladera Ranch Garage Sale Day!

April 28, 2012

I finally made it to the annual Ladera Ranch Garage Sale and it was beyond awesome.  I only could go until 1100 because we had to make it to an appointment in Encinitas at noon, i feel like I could have shopped and bargained until I dropped.  I seriously think all that walking did make the baby drop lower in my stomach.  We all met up at 645 at my sister Debbies house and picked up maps and water bottles.  Then we all headed out in different directions.  My wonderful grandma Jean came in my car and garage saled with me.

It was so intense, it was hard to find parking anywhere and there were deals EVERYWHERE!  each street had something going on.  I am glad I had the pilot for all the loot we got.

The Loot!!!
Books, Double Jogger Stroller (Phil and Teds), Tricycle, Arms Reach Mini Co Sleeper, All 8 Sesame Street stuffed animals, pop up tent, toddler bjorn toilet, baby einstein alpha books, etc etc.

The Drive home afterwards.....she is such an angel when she is asleep 0:-)
