My sister Cristin is obsessed with finding pictures of women who have "fat face" while their pregnant. She recently posted a picture of Angelina Jolie with fat face.. but she hardly had one! So this is for you Cristin!.. and me, who had horrible pregnant FAT FACE! .. Perfect Jessica Alba TOTALLY has Fat Face!
Want a closer look?Does this make you feel better? Because I do!

I Heart Chicago!

Yes, it's true, we GET to live HERE for the next three months! I know, sooo lucky right? Haha. We live in a little city in Indinna, just about a 30 min. drive into Chicago. Chicago is the prettiest city I have ever seen! It's so green and CLEAN! (The complete opposite of Oakland, CA) It was really crazy packing up and moving here with only a days notice. It's settling down now, though we still don't have furniture in our apartment. It's a good thing we have such a comfy memory foam pad! Zach loves working here, and I love shopping here! I can actually find a grocery store and Normal places to eat! On Saturday, Kelley, the other wives here and I took our little ones to the Chicago Zoo. It was alot of fun and Jonah really enjoyed the Bob cats and tigers. It was funny though, because when all the other kids were in awe over the bright pink flamingos, Jonah only wanted to watch the seagulls.

Guess what's coming....

I CAN'T WAIT!!!! CAN YOU?
Twilight in HD

I've heard so much talk about the Twilight Movie but I didn't think it was going to come for a long time! AHH! I must admit though, I wasn't too excited about Edward actor.. I'm sure He's great though..

Flash Back Friday..

I was reading old posts of mine and I forgot about this music video Zach and I made when I was pregnant. WOW, we are total NERDS! But you know what, watching this video makes me want to make another one!

Me and my little blue hat

I finally found the perfect little hat for Jonah at H&M. It was only 5 dollars! I almost bought a cuter, more expensive one but I didn't want to spend almost 20 dollars on a hat that I wasn't even sure Jonah would wear. I'm so happy he likes it though!! Now I don't have to try and rub sun screen on his little blonde head. Plus he looks so darn cute in it!

Grandma's in Town!

Zachary's mom came for a visit this week and it has been so much fun! Yesterday Kathy, Kelley and I.. and Jonah (of course!) took the bart into San Fransisco for a little shopping trip. Jonah was such a good boy for the whole SEVEN hours we were out and about! Here are some pictures from the day!
Here we all are, just waiting around for the right Bart to come.. It was really confusing trying to figure out how to get on with the stroller. It took a while for us to find an elevator. When we arrived in San Fransisco, the worker told us we never paid for our trip! Luckily, he let us go.
We ate dinner at the same delicious place Kelley and I went to last time. Jonah was SUPER HAPPY the whole dinner! I think he was just finally free of being strapped into the stroller.
By the end of the trip, Jonah was soooo tired. It was a really long day. We accidentally boarded the wrong Bart home.

Happy Mother's Day..

All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his. ~Oscar Wilde

Grown don't mean nothing to a mother. A child is a child. They get bigger, older, but grown? What's that suppose to mean? In my heart it don't mean a thing. ~Toni Morrison,

A father may turn his back on his child, brothers and sisters may become inveterate enemies, husbands may desert their wives, wives their husbands. But a mother's love endures through all. ~Washington Irving
A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie. ~Tenneva Jordan

THANK YOU TO MY WONDERFUL MOM,... she has always motivated me to be the best I can be! I always know she is just a phone call away! My mom is honestly one of my best friends! Thanks for raising me so well mom and Thanks for always being there!


THANK YOU TO MY WONDERFUL MOTHER IN LAW.. Thank you for raising my husband to be the wonderful man he is today. I am so lucky to have such a great and comfortable relationship with Zach's mom. Thanks for all you do Kathy!

I've learned my lesson

I am probably one of the pickiest eaters you'll ever meet. .mainly with old food. My mom always gets annoyed with me because if the food is either expired or soon to be I am very hesitant to eat it. She on the other hand will cut the mold off cheese or bread and eat it as long as there is any good left in it.SICK! My husband used to think I was the weirdest person because I would dig though the shelves at the grocery store to find the food with the latest expiration date. Soon he picked up on it and I know he does it even when I'm not around! (I've taught him well)
So since we've moved to Oakland for some reason I haven't been looking at the expiration dates like normal. Don't ask why, I just haven't. Last night I was making tacos for dinner, I was all prepared when Zach got home, I had the meat cooked, the cheese grated, the avocado sliced, and the lettuce cut. The only thing I waited to make was the taco shells. When I pulled out the corn tortillas I had bought just 3 days earlier, and opened the package up, they were completely moldy! I looked at the expiration date and they had expired the day before. No big deal though, because luckily, I had bought some flour tortillas that same day... those were moldy too! They expired two days earlier!!! No biggie, I had another package I had bought about a week or so ago.. Those were old too! Oh wait! I had ANOTHER package in the fridge.... MOLDY! Zach looked at me after I took out the 4 packages of tortillas and said, "Will you only buy one bag at a time from now on?" We ate taco salad for dinner.
Lesson to learn: always, Always, ALWAYS! Check the food's expiration date!... and Don't buy four bags of tortillas within a week!

One Year Older and wiser too....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!

To my sweet, loving husband... Happy Birthday! Zachary is the most amazing person I know, and I'm so lucky to be his wife!
.. And Jonah is so lucky to have him as a daddy!

He loves the camera now!

One day Jonah caught on that when a camera is put in your face you smile!! It really is so funny though because he could be crying hysterically and as soon as you hold up the camera and say "cheese" Jonah gets the biggest smile! It makes us laugh pretty hard.
