Lots of Little Trips this Month

 

Stevie, as you can see below, has an obsession with cell phones. Here he is multitasking with 2 at once. However, as you may have heard, he threw Steve's $700 phone in the middle of the lake up at Donner and so that's the end of playing with real cell phones. FYI Steve's phone had a lot of awesome pictures and videos on it from this month that I hadn't downloaded yet! :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here he is auditioning for Baywatch down in Santa Cruz.

 

 

He spent some time hanging out with some of his older Mudd cousins.

 

Later we took a little trip to Donner Lake in the mountains where he got to spend some time with cousins more his age.

 

 
My sister, Liz, and all the kids built an enormous sandcastle.

Currently his love of watering the back porch continues. 

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..............
