June Baby is a . . .

Since we found out we were expecting, we have been anxiously been waiting to find out what we were having. We both have gone back and forth on what we want . But we are so excited that we are having a healthy little girl. We are planning on naming her Olivia Ellen. Ellen is Matt's grandmother's name. We are due June 2nd. But will probably have her earlier, since I will probably be induced like Emme. Now to work on her room. Poor Matt is so out numbered. We have a female dog and soon two little girls!!!

Happy Birthday to Me!!!

Monday was my birthday. When I was a kid I use to tell people that is was a national holiday that is why we always had the Monday around it off. I actually convinced a couple kids of that. (Actually we have it off for Martin Luther King Jr Day. )
For my birthday I got to sleep in which is nice since Emme some days wants to be up a 730am. Matt took me out to lunch to Olive Garden. I love their soup and salad lunch. When I was pregnant with Emme, I lived on soup and salad since everything made me sick. Not with this baby it wants to eat everything. (Some of my craves suck because am still looking for a great Chinese place down here.) Then we went looking at baby r us since we had some baby r us bucks to spend. Finishing up at my in laws. Emme is in love with their puppy. It is small enough she can attempt to pet and doesn't get knocked over. Our puppy is big enough to knock her over. Which Kenai often does in attempt to lick her. She had fun following it around the house before we went off to dinner at Market Street Grill. They have yummy fresh seafood, it is a little hard going there and being pregnant. I would have to say thirty percent of the menu I can't have but sounds so yummy.
For my cake this year we had a strawberry cheesecake ice cream cake. It was fun to watch Emme devour it. She had to have a bath before we headed home. It was a wonderful birthday just spending time with Matt and Emme.

Since my Hubby doesn't cook. He took me to Olive Garden for my birthday breakfast/lunch
Emme is trying to feed him her bread stick

My in laws have a puppy named Sophie. Emme loves her a little too much.
We are working on petting the dogs nicely. The dogs tolerate Emme so well

My Birthday Cake is was yummy

Emme Loved it

We stripped her down cause I knew she would make a huge mess.
And would require a bath after wards.

Christmas in Washington Part Two

During our week we went to Pike's Market, Poulsbo which is called little Norway. We went to my favorite little Diner Berryfields. Their food is so yummy, homemade and large portions. It was so good I wrote to Diners, Drive through and Dives. We also went to my grandfather's favorite breakfast place, Judy's. Matt made the mistake of order a short stack of pancakes with his meal. The waitress laughed at him. It turns out the pancakes are the size of dinner plates. Good thing Matt loves pancakes. We had fun at Pike's looking at all the shops, watching the flying fish. We had fun in Poulsbo even though it was cold and long drive. We had fun looking in the shops, trying the swedish bakery. They had the largest donuts I had ever seen. They were so yummy. It was fun, being around my family but it was nice to come home to our house.

Christmas In Washington Part One

For Christmas this year we spent a week in Washington with my family. Matt finally got to meet my Grandmother, my brother Alan and his family and one of my Aunts. We fly up on Christmas Eve. Emme did pretty well on the plane. She didn't much enjoy the car ride. Cause we had to drive to Everett to pick up my grandmother then south to Centralia where my parents live now. She loved playing with her Auntie Sarah and the many bears that decorated the house. She stared at the tree and pet the ornaments. Everyone loved her red hair. She had more fun being the center of attention.
