updates!

oh just the cutest outfit ever we found in a boutique in HMB. (maybe for Ashley's bb shower in April??) Dressing her up is sooooo fun now. We got my ring cleaned, picked up some artichoke pesto bread for Matts parents, had a yummy breakfast at 3-Zero cafe (and got Matt and his Dad AWESOME matching shirts!) took a million walks, went to a Cesar Chavez picnic at my mom's classroom (parents brought mole, enchiladas, churros, you name it!) and watched movies listening to the rain!
Just look at her!! Happy bb in her big girl chair! She can sit here forever. Helps when I need to cook lunch! We spent our weekly 2 nights in Montara, came back last night. I had an amazing zumba class and signed up for a 6 week boot camp (in Montara), which meets at 6am 3x a week! We start April 12th. I cannot wait to get back in shape! Matt may join me for a few classes as well. He took the day off tomorrow b/c our lovely friends Natalie and Brian are in town from San Diego!!! (YAY!!) We are meeting them in the city for lunch and a walk down by the water. It's like Christmas when Matt has a random day off in the middle of the week! I think this is one of the first days he has ever taken off, so exciting! My mom bought Sophie the cutest cloth diapers. I will have to take a photo. We are slowly building her collection up, mostly thanks to my mom. These ones had bears on them, little russian stacking dolls, and a pair with monkies!!! I love them!

Sophie's dedication



We had such a nice day meeting with pastor Paul of our church in HMB. Now that Sophie is getting older we can utilize their nursery during service. It's gorgeous, and there is a speaker so I can be in there with her and still hear the sermon. We decided to do a dedication for Sophie before she was even born. We wanted her to know a community such as that of Mariners church and be a part of it from this early age and on. Her dedication will be in May, and it will be during the morning service. We get to write a small bit about what our hopes and dreams are for her, and commit to be a part of the amazing Christian community as a family. Both Matt and I teared up at the thought of speaking to her during this small ceremony.
After our meeting with Paul we went to lunch at San Benito house!!! Delicious! The photos are in the outdoor seating area. Off to pack, sooooooo excited for tomorrow!!!!!!!!!

today

We are going to HMB to talk to the pastor about Sophie's dedication. Hopefully we can do it sometime in May! Afterwards we're having lunch at San Benito House. (Best sandwiches hands down- if you haven't been you must go) It has an outdoor seating area which will be awesome since the weather has been perfect. (a little too hot for me here in Hayward but the coast will be cooler) Then it's time to pack pack pack for VEGAS!!!!!! We leave tomorrow!!

this morning...


we went to target (bought mommy a cute romper for Vegas!), made chili and cornbread, bought a snap 'n go off of craigslist (who knew traveling with kids could be easy?! They actually check your stroller at the gate!! AWESOME!) packed our bags and did laundry, went for a walk and talked to daddy!!!! It's time to eat lunch...I'm obsessed with sandwiches lately. I forgot how filling and healthy they could be. My sando of choice: mustard, jalapenos, pickles, lotsa spinach, some sharp cheddar on whole wheat cut into fours for the child in me :) mmmmm.....it's calling my name! xoxoxoxo

Pregnant in Vegas last year!
Yup, obvious first sign of pregnancy! :)

ahhhhh where did that body go??!! :)
hanging with my girls in our cabana!


It will be Sophie's first plane ride! I bought the tickets as a surprise for Matt awhile back. He works SO hard for our little family and he deserves to do something fun just for him. We are staying at Planet Hollywood for 2 nights. We have friends who live there and are hoping to visit with them for awhile, maybe an evening swim at the pool? Sophie has a suit, a bikini, sunglasses and plenty of sunscreen!! There will be long walks on the strip and dinners at the many delicious restaurants...Matt can gamble, watch march madness peacefully lol and know his loving family appreciates him BEYOND belief. He is the best father, an amazing husband and our best-friend. VEGAS BABY VEGAS!!!!!
