weekend blog

this blog is turning into what we do on the weekends. they're the only things that have been getting me through these last few weeks! but! one week from today i will already have squeezed.. or umm unzipped..? this freaking kid out! i cant wait to be able to wear more than these 2 pairs of pants. steven let me get a jogging stroller for when we all go to the track. i cant wait! of course most of all i cant wait to meet this new little guy!

saturday morning bedhead!

we redbox'd that movie "the next three days" the whole time i was hating it but it ended up being allright. but in the beginning the mom had a morning ritual where she was planning to take a picture of their kid every morning for his first 18 years. that seemed a little extreme but i thought the idea was cool. i think every sunday before church sounds like a good time i would remember..plus its the only time they dont have food on their clothes or face.

so here is week#1

it'll be fun (& sad) to see how they grow each week.

also on friday night we went on our last date before the baby comes. we hung out with our favorites camille & chris who we havent seen in almost 2 years! they are the funnest, we always laugh til we pee with them (me-literally, with having to cross my legs even before i sneeze:). we went to that mesa arts center exhibit Amococo Architecture of Air thing! i was kicking myself for not bringing a camera, cause it was pretty cool. the line was super long & steven was laughing his body jolting-ear piercing laugh every 5 seconds. i'm sure everyone in front & back of us we're annoyed but oh well, it was fun! just what we needed before life changes a bit.

still too cold

they lasted about 10 minutes before they started to get the shivers

so for now its in their room & they pretend swim.

weekend pictures

i finally got the camera i've been wanting for a long time! actually steven talked me into getting an even better one & i'm happy he did. we have taken so many pictures this weekend. so here are 'just a few' that shows what we did the past couple days. i feel so heartbroken for all that has happened in japan this weekend & what is still going on. sometimes we forget how precious the people in our lives are & even though they all take turns driving me nuts, i'm so thankful for these sweet little boys that i have!

bastien's favorite place, outside!

this is embry telling steven that jasper had been playing the ipod for "so many minutes!"

saturday was my dad's birthday & we met at abuelos since he loves mexican!

you can tell by what they're wearing,everyone went to the aloha fest this day:)

ready to shoot some "ghosies" (thats what they call ghosts:)

..wearing his proton pack while watching ghostbuster cartoons!

one of our regular trips to the track. or until i can jog again,

the bball courts to watch steven shoot hoops.

embry was so confused why grandpa didn't have a cake.

so we made one "for him" after church, we enjoyed your cake grandpa!

friend bumps

nicole & i at church today.

nicole, amy & i are all due within 3 weeks of eachother.

and i had forgotten to get a bump picture with nicole until today..

the day before she gets induced! (lucky!)

we are all having boys, too!

too bad they cant play together like our other boys:(

bastien still randomly says he misses paka.

between us we will have 10 boys, is that crazy or what?

the weekend

we went to the flight deck cafe saturday morning.

you can watch planes land & take off from the windows

jasper thought he was going to get to ride a plane..

but daddy's ipod makes everything better.

we bought a little model airplane there

& the kids played outside the rest of the day.

bastien showing us his cool tricks on his scooter

also i went & saw this! steven was about to watch a suns game at 6:30. i had been at home for the past 2 days. so i looked up the times & there was one at 6:40! so i just went by myself! i missed the previews so there wasnt any awkward moments sitting there by myself, it was nice!

i liked the movie although she is a little hard to take as an actress. it was a little cheesy, but really...its a beauty & the beast story. you cant expect it not to be. and this guy (who i hear is sort of a freakshow in real life) is really easy to watch, even as a beast.

saying hi to daddy!

steven texted us & let us know he was going to pass over my mom's house,

that little dot in the sky is him coming our way

he said he wouldve come down closer, but he let the student have controls since he was paying to fly that hour.

they think their daddy is the coolest! oh & steven is an official employee at rotorway now. i know it might've sounded like he already had a helicopter job but basically he was just getting lots of hours for free..which was still awesome but an opening became available & he was hired as the head CFI there while also getting paid as a helicopter mechanic apprentice! (that will take 2 years before he can test to be an A&P mechanic) We feel amazingly blessed since its almost impossible to get pilot jobs right now. Even though he was loving to get to fly..Steven was feeling discouraged that this wasnt going to work out, because you can only go so long without getting paid, right? :) But now, we're really glad we stuck with this for the past 4 months. It's feels weird to actually have an income now!

we have this one disc with 4 episodes of the old school ghostbuster cartoons that used to play on tv when i was a kid. it used to be bastien that was obsessed with ghostbusters, but now its everyone. they rewatch those 4 episodes over and over. i finally looked on amazon & found 5 discs for pretty cheap. embry begs to watch the 1st ghostbuster movie & i say no its too scary. so whenever he brings me the dvd he says "I cwose my eyes at the scary parts, k?"

i love how embry & jasper snuggle on the couch when they watch. this picture below cracks me up! embry kept having me take pictures of him charging at me like the little creature that he is. remember how bastien asked me "is embry a human or a creature?" well we still call him a little creature only because everything he does has a little bit of a creature-like way about it. one time steven came home from work & embry was (naked of course) perched on the counter,eating. his werewolf name was very fitting, am i still right?

my sisters, mom & i met at the mall to hang out. we went to the disney store & aunty ana let them all pick out a disney snack thing. my boys had boy stuff to choose from but they must be bored with everything cars or buzz because embry chose a rapunzel snack cup & jasper chose a tinkerbell one. they looked cooler than the boy ones for sure. and why are girls allowed to love cars or toy story but boys cant watch tinkerbell? at least i know my boys are comfortable in their masculinity! Ha!

Bastien loves playing with the neighbor kids outside everyday. One day none of them could play so i found him outside just chilling under this tree, he's so cute!

oh & sorry if the amount of glee songs on here is obnoxious. but they really do make almost every song better. especially the ones sung by Blaine. i think i'm sort of obsessed with his voice!
