Happy Birthday to Steve and Happy Anniversary to Us!

Steve celebrated his 33rd birthday recently and Little Stevie blew out his b-day candles. 

 

Stevie has been trying to put his own clothes and shoes on lately. It's really cute.

We celebrated our 4th anniversary lately too. We ended up having a scheduling conflict though and spent the evening at the Harcourts Auction.

 

Here's some pics of Steve auctioning off items for SOB Bucks (fake money employees get for doing cool stuff)

 

 

Our latest trip to the Mudds to see my sister's beautiful new baby girl, Olivia.

Family visits and a trip to Huntington Beach

We haven't taken as many trips this summer as we usually do - probably because it's harder with me being pregnant. But we've still gotten around to a few getaways and family visits. Lauren and Joe visited the Reno O'Briens recently and we visited back. Then we took a little trip to Southern California.

 

 

 

A couple of weeks ago we went for a very very short visit to Lauren and Joe's.  It was short because Stevie couldn't stay  asleep and was moaning all night. We finally left at 2 am hoping he would sleep on the way home. Turned out he had all his molars coming in at once. His brief sleeping moments were pretty cute though and I was awake all night so I snapped these pics around midnight. 

 

 

A really cute hat at Target that we didn't get but was worth a photo.

Lauren and Joe came to visit and we made homemade pizza! We even made the dough.  We (well mostly I) got too distracted talking and it ended up being a rather authentic late Italian meal.

 Bonnie's feeling much better and getting around all lot more. Yay!

Gracie always loves to try on my shoes when she comes over and takes each pair for a spin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

O'Brien's and Baseball

 

 I got another ultrasound yesterday and they say the baby looks perfectly healthy.  It seems like he moves way more than Stevie did already but maybe I'm just imagining it.  I can't imagine a baby being more active than Stevie at this point though. To quote Steve "he is one crazy little dude".

8AM and yelling at me already

 

 

 

 

Here he is! He's so active it wakes me up sometimes and I'm only 22 weeks!

 

 

 

This is my niece Rochelle with us at the Rodeo.  She is staying with us for a few weeks to help out. It's great and we've been getting lots of stuff done and having fun.

 Lauren, the kids and their friend, Taylor are staying in town for a few days and we had everyone over for a BBQ last night. Here are some pics of the festivities..............
 

 

 

 

 

Summer Vacation and a tribute to Fathers and Grandfathers..........

Stevie has learned to walk!! He all of the sudden decided one day he was going to walk around and now he's flying. He is his Dad's shadow and it's so cute to watch.  Everything is a cell phone and he puts phones up to his ears and says hi over and over. He loves any kind of ball and he's developing a good arm.  He can set the baseball on a tee and hit it off which makes both Dad and Granddad proud. He helps Steve at the office and takes out the trash with him at home. Also I finally got ultrasound pics of our newest edition. IT'S A BOY!!! I'm seriously outnumbered now :).

Making dad so Proud

Everyone went on a walk and he held his Aunt Bonnie's hand and pushed her wheel chair.

He's yelling at me in this pic but he's still pretty cute
