BOY OR GIRL??!!???!!???

so the count down is on!! we find out in 2 weeks if we are having a BOY or a GIRL! it is all i can think about...i am so antsy i can't wait! jake and i have our ideas and secret hopes, but let us know what you think we are having! we have have a little pretend poll going. and of course i will probably blog the second i get home with the news. we go in may13th!! :)

oh....living with a 4 year old!!

so, i love my four year to pieces, but sometimes the things that come out of his mouth are so random and can be very embarrassing! we had the elders over for dinner tonight and we thought it would be fun for blaine to choose which elder should say the closing prayer. so blaine looks at both the elders and points to one saying, "i want the big elder with the big head to say it!" i know i turned a bright shade of red instantly. this elder is not big AT ALL, but it happens that his companion is kind of small. lucky for us the elders have a great sense of humor and laughed it off with us, but i still felt so awful! kids sure do say the darnest things!!

catching up....

BIRTHDAY AT BJ'S...so yummy. i went to bj's with mom, dad, sister, brother and his wife and of course blaine! after bj's we spent the afternoon at the beach...what an awesome day!

i had to teach a dance class that night, and jake had a test at school, but once he game home, we partied! we had a gourmet dinner of taco bell and then jake surprised me with an ice cream cake from baskin robins...my favorite!

but there were too many candles on my cake...it almost melted all the ice cream!
and blaine had too much fun that day that he fell asleep on jake while we were on the phone with his parents...cute boys!

Thanks so much everyone for making my birthday so great! i had a great day and night at Carino's on Friday! it was the best to be surrounded by so many friends and family! love you all! :)

and here is a cute little clip of blaine working hard at his karate!

Club 33 Date!!

i have been meaning to post these pictures forever. we went to club 33 st disneyland last month with my sister carrie and her husband mark! we had such a great time and the fun was so good...but very expensive! (pretty muh one time thing!)

we got to take a cute little lift upstairs to in this old elevator!
the bathroom was amazing, so we had to take a picture. the toliets were actual chairs!
and of course, posing infront of the resturant! we had a great time...thanks to my boss for getting us in!

Top That

my sister in law sent me this and i thought it was just too funny! i love a good 80's rap!...TOP THAT!!!

to my AWESOME husband!!

Friday night was one of the best nights ever!!! jake took me out on a "hot date!" he wouldn't tell me where we were going, all he would tell me is that this was a "dress up" date. first he took me to this really cool under ground restaurant in costa mesa call LA CAVE. it was so fun. we had to take an elevator down under ground and the restaurant was dark with all red lights. it was very retro cool! the dinner was great...a steak and sea food place. once we got back in the car jake made me close my eyes while he put in a cd. when he told me i could open my eyes, he had the theme to phantom of the opera blaring in the car! that is when he told me we were going to see the show! JAKE TOOK ME TO GO SEE PHANTOM!!!!! it was sooooo good. if anyone hasn't seen it, i highly recommend it! i had only seen the movie, which is good, but the real thing is so much better! i was totally surprised. he told me a couple weeks ago that he tried to get tickets, but they were all sold out...that little liar!! it was the best surprise ever and a great early birthday present! thanks again jake for such a great night! i love you!

check out this kid...he is awesome!! puts me to shame! :)

i love my boys

so i knew it would only be a matter of time before nintendo crept into our lives! i have tried to keep it out, because once it's in...it's here to stay! although i don't know who is more excited to play....blaine or jake. either way it is pretty cute! i love my boys!

daddy helping teach his boy
playing mario cart...of course! it's the only game we know how to play! and yes, we are still sporting a nintendo 64 baby!!


so blaine has been asking me everyday, "is the baby coming today?" and i would have to tell him "no, it's still a long way away." (maybe we should have waited a little longer to tell him) anyway, i came up with a nice idea to make a chain for him of how many days we have until the baby comes....let's just say, it's a little depressing. this is the LONGEST CHAIN EVER! but it keeps him from always asking when the baby is coming. he now says "we have to wait until the chain is all gone, and that is a loooonnnnggg time!"
LONGEST CHAIN EVER...wrapping from one bedroom wall....
to the next! it sure makes everyday worth getting up for! :)

I GOT ONE...

I AM THE PROUD OWNER OF A MAGIC BULLET!!! i have always wanted a magic bullet since i saw the first infomercial a couple years ago. so finally my blender broke last month and i decided "hey, what a great time to get the magic bullet!" this is going to sound cheesy but, I LOVE IT and i use it EVERYDAY!!! blaine and i love smoothies and not to mention shakes. so it is so fun to make something different everytime. we customize all our different drinks! it will be fun to see what else this baby can do! and i have to admit, it is pretty fast...maybe not "10 seconds" fast, but pretty good. and only bad thing i can find about it so far is, it is kind of loud, but what blender isn't! SMOOTHIES FOR EVERYONE! come on over anytime! :) and hey, if you have any good recipes, feel free to send them this way.
