Our Disney Princess

I was just looking through pictures and came across this one. Disneyland is seriously our favorite place. We love it! Lizzie has been twice now and just watching the movies and looking at the pictures from these trips gets her SO excited! And of course, everytime a Disneyland commercial comes on, she asks to go. Anyone know of any discounts or deals to make Disneyland trips a little more affordable? Let me know!

Can't hide it anymore.....

For those of you who don't already know, I'M PREGNANT!! I am about 14 weeks along now, due February 5th. It's not that I haven't been dying to tell everyone, but we decided to wait until I was further along to share our happy news!

I'm super excited because before Lizzie turned 1, we tried for about 8 or 9 months and I ended up having a miscarriage in January. The doctor said to wait 3 to 6 months to try again, so as soon as April hit we began trying and in May I was pregnant!!

Don't ask me what I am having because we decided to be surprised. However, for those of you who know me really well, know that patience is one of my biggest challenges in life so this won't be easy for me!! I am afraid the more people ask, the more I will be tempted to give in and find out......

Oh and I guess it's the second pregnancy thing, but I totally popped out real quick, which is why I say "can't hide it anymore". Don't think I haven't noticed the quick glances at my belly when we're talking face to face. I am sure people have been biting their tongues just in case I wasn't actually pregnant and was getting fat or something. Probably a good idea because I have been feeling a little mischievous lately and I just might have decided to tease you:

Friend: "So.....Heidi.....congrats! Why didn't you say anything? When are you due?"

Mischievous Heidi: "What? What are you talking about?"

Friend (blushing & sweating profusely): "Oh...umm.....nothing, never mind."

Heidi (laughing): "I'm just teasing you, I am totally pregnant."

THE END

Lizzie's 2nd Birthday

We had a "Finding Nemo" theme for Elizabeth's 2nd birthday on June 29th. It was lots of fun and Lizzie really enjoyed her special day. My mom and grandma made some yummy mexican food and we had the party at Todd's parents' house in Fremont. His sister, Kristin made an AWESOME Nemo cake and it was delicious! Check out her blog: http://www.kristinannbeck.blogspot.com/ His other sister Jana provided the beautiful photography from the day. I have one pic so far, but her blog is also worth checking out! http://www.janalaurene.blogspot.com/

This party was over a month ago, and still if you ask Liz about her birthday party, she replies "bam, bam (while swatting her hand).......CANDY(while jumping up and down)" Her pinata was the most memorable part, apparently. Pretty cute.

The Pathetic Blogger

You know you are a pathetic blogger when people have to hack into your account and update it because dust is actually starting to form over your layout.  Gosh, I am so horrible!  Then you have the people who you can tell that rather than sharing their lives on their blog, blogging actually IS their life.  Well I would like to find a nice middle ground. I know time management is a huge issue with me these days, but I really would like to be better about posting new info and pics every now and then.  Say, every two weeks or so.  Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you. 

guest blogger...

dear heidi,

i hope you don't mind me hacking into your blog, i'm just really good at remembering things like passwords. i'm sorry you can't download pictures onto your computer, and therefore you are a stinky blogger. But since you happen to be one of my favorite sisters-in-law, and i probably have just about as many pictures of lizzie as you do, i thought i would sneak on and post one of the most recent that i've taken. i wanted a cute picture of her holding the painting i did for her - what do you think? if she looks tired, it's because she just woke up from her nap. but i still think she's the cutest.

well that's all. let me know if you want me to guest post again - i have plenty more pictures where that came from.

love you guys,
jana

family pictures.

i just thought i would share a few of the pictures my fabulous sister-in-law took for our christmas cards this year.

we hope you all had a wonderful christmas!

Halloween!

So we didn't have much of a Halloween this year because Lizzie was sick with a cough. Luckily, we went to a Halloween party at my uncle's house a couple weeks before so she was able to wear her cute angel costume. She also had an alligator costume that Todd bought her. Pictures of that are coming soon!
