My mom and sister flew in on Friday! This was soo nice to see some of our family. Reese was the most excited of all, she refused to go to bed at bedtime, all 3 nights! It was great to have there company over the weekend. We went to the pool a few minutes down the street, went to the beach on base and in Oceanside. Jake bought a new surfboard on Saturday, and he claims that it is "Really Fast", and it will take some getting used to. But, he and Becky had a great time getting out there to catch some awesome waves! On Sunday, we went to just relax and build sandcastles. Reese is getting used to the sand, and she loves to run at the water. That is very terrifying for me, of course!

Here is Jake catching a wave on his new board. He is soo stoked to finally have a board of his own. I know he can't wait till his brothers get here to show them up!! haha just kidding guys! The weather here is just beautiful, at times it is too hot for us! Being pregnant, it gets very uncomfortable. Next weekend, we will have another set of company! We are excited for them to come!

Its Going to be a BOY!!!

I went to the OB doc today and had a head to toe ultrasound today! It was soo wonderful, Brody was very active and that made the video so much more fascinating. The nurse said that he is about 12 inches long and over a pound in weight. I will get better specifics when the doctor reviews my record. It is truely amazing to see something that is soo real growing inside of you. It brings me back to when Reese was in the womb, I don't want them to come out! Just the feeling of the movements is wonderful! In the pictures are his feet and his profile, I didn't want to post the gender pic or the 4D one because Jake said Brody looks like a mummy! Everything looks great in there, still expecting on August 23rd. Can't wait! Reese thinks that she is getting to him through my belly button, she is soo funny!

SEA WORLD!!!

We went to Sea World over the weekend! It was great weather, not sunny at all with a little breeze. It made it nice so we didnt have to worry about getting burned or too hot. It was a lot of fun. Reese enjoyed it all, especially the Shamu show. When the instructors were riding on Shamu, she would put her arms up and reach for him as if she wanted to go for a ride! It was so cute. We saw all sorts of fish, the penguins were my favorite! Jake played his strength with the mallot game, and won Reese a cute pink whale. I, on the other hand, just my luck threw one ring on a bottle and won this way too huge dog. Jake had to carry it around for the rest of the day! But, Reese loves it! Daisy does too! Jake has had 2 scares about going to Iraq in the last week, thank God, he is not experienced enough to go. He is on a softball team at work and likes it, he does'n tdo much in the office so it gives him some fun active play! As you can see in the pic I am already huge. Not sure what is growing inside of me, but its big! lol We are all doing good and are happy where we are. Reese got a big girl bed and is loving it. Not sleeping in it yet, just getting used to it. She is soo cute, totally all girl!

Going to the pool!

I thought this was adorable! Reese has her own mini-surfer swimsuit! I saw it and had to have it! We love getting to the pool when we can to work on our tans. Most of you might not know, Jake and I are pasties behind our clothing! So, a little sun is great! Reese likes her new suit! It is nice, because of the UV protection it has! Next, we need to get her a tube to sit in while we are at the pool!

Finally starting to settle in!

We had a really great time at the Beach over the weekend! It was nice to get out of the house, away from all the unpacking! Yes, we are still not fully unpacked! Being military we were able to go to the base beach which is private to the public. There was hardly anyone there! RELAXING!! Reese had a blast. At first, she wasn't sure what the sand was, then got used to it. She saw the noisy seagulls and started to run towards them. There were about 50 of them and they all went flying from her over me!!! "Please no seagull poop!"

So far, nothing new has happened. Jake is out on the range this week learning how to shoot a rifle. He already knows how, its just getting the practice in if he needs it. No worries, he is not leaving anywhere! I have a meeting with a meetup group for mommies next week, which I am very excited about. We will meet at a local lake and walk around it. Its about time, I am dying to make some friends here! Jake has been getting off work around 3pm, makes enough time for us to get a family walk in with Daisy. The weather is nice until about 5:30pm it starts to get chilly.







Reese and I made our first batch of cookies at our new house tonight. Oatmeal, chocolate and butterscotch chip with raisains. They were delicious, I have eaten 6 while typing this blog. It's got to be the pregnancy thing. I told Jake am starting to eat everthing in my sight, too bad I sold my elliptical!

Reese has really became best friends with Daisy. She knows how to through the ball for her, and now it is a new activity for her. I am not sure if she is trying to beat me up or what, but she will push me with all her strength when I am in the kitchen, then she laughs at me! I don't know what the 15 months old deal is?!? She has her personality thats for sure. Reese has given the most kisses ever these last few days, it is so precious. I love being her Mother, watching her learn everything is amazing.We truly are blessed to have the family we do.
