Half moon bay for dinner and fun

Linden loves the beach!

Linden thought the waves were a little much- and it was really cold!

Getting water from the ocean.

Digging a hole

She's finding a shells for me.

we went to HMB to order pizza at the beach, such fun! linden loves the sand and she found me lots of shells.

Celebrating 7 years married

We got gelato after dinner, just like our honeymoon in Italy! Seven years have flown by, what fun we have.... And sooo much more to come.

Lauren and Linden

This is Lauren, our friend who lives down the street. Her Mom, Kelley, and I are partners in crime!! We hang out all the time and I enjoy every minute!!
We went to the park yesterday and the girls had a ball, allthough Linden wanted me to carry her home, but I made her sit in the wagon with Lauren and she cried most of the way back!!! Poor kid, her Mommy can't carry her with this ever- growing belly!

Nana's custom PB chair

So my Mom just about drove herself CRAZY making this chair for Linden- she earned an engeniring degree when she was done! It's so beautiful- even Bruno loves it. I hated the fabric choices at Pottery Barn Kids- so my mom and I picked out this BEAUTIFUL fabric- it looks so beautiful!
Thanks again Nana!

Easter 2009

The entire Williams clan at Jake's parents house after the shower

haute Mamas!

The preggos!

We hopped on a flight for a weekend getaway sans Linden, to San Diego, while my Mom was in town. It was the first time Brett and I have stayed in a hotel room, without Linden since BEFORE she was born! It was sooo fantastic to getaway and sleep in. Rachel Mix Williams is pregnant with their first, (a BOY!) and her shower was on Saturday. We had a great time seeing them and catching up since they now live in San Diego.
We had a romantic dinner in La Jolla on Friday and relaxed on the beach when we could. We even got to hot-tub for a minute (being sure not to cook my little baby!)
It was great!

Nana's visit

Not sure what this face is-I think she is wondering why I am taking her picture and not letting her run around...

She loves her some NANA!

Nana came to visit- and I put her to work! She was amazing! AMAZING! I could list all the things she did while she was here and you still would not understand the magnificent work she can do- THANK YOU NANA!
I will give it a try anyway:
*Made a new slipcover for Linden's Pottery Barn chair- pics to come!
*Made curtains and a valance for the baby's room
*Watched Linden for three days while we got away to San Diego!
*Entertained Uncle John and Thomson while they were in town- the same weekend we were gone!
*Made the Big girl bed with me
*Made a slipcover for the bedrail-in like 10 minutes!!!
*Helped put Linden new carpet together, hung pictures and finished her room.
******the list goes on and on. My Mom is one of the most talented people I know and I am so very grateful for everything she can do. Thank you Mom. Not only for you help with getting everything ready for our little guy- but for inspiring me. I love you!

Big Girl Bed!

It's a new room-(downstairs) and a new bed! Linden is sleeping in her "big girl Bed" that we have been talking about for weeks! As I type, she is quitely sleeping in there! She loved her crib and if we were not having another baby and needed it- I would leave her in it until she was ready to leave for college....
She seems to like it soo far though! Let's keep our fingers crossed!
I had this bright idea-like I do when I am pregnant- to upholster the bed. So, when my Mom was here, I put her to work and she helped me finish the bed and get it together- which was a feat in itself- it weighs about 500 lbs.
We reconfigured the floor tiles (www.flor.com), rearranged her closet, added all her necessities, hung pictures and my Mom even made a slipcover for the bed-rail! It looks awesome and I am sure Linden will love being in her new room!

BBQ with the Pedesron's

Kisssing Quinn

They are so cute!

Sitting pretty!

Daddy's girl

We went to the Pederson's for a little inpromptu BBQ- it was actually a very fancy dinner! It was fun to hang you Quinn and Baby Emily and Uncle Mark and Aunt Maribeth. So FUN!

Cute pics from Linden's school

Exploring with shaving cream

I love the old fashion hat Linden has on! Very chic!

Miss Lisa sent me some pics of Linden while she is at school- as you can tell, she LOVES it there!

Preschool camp out

There are 11 spots and 10 parents are spending the night!

Brett was in line at Footsteps Preschool at 5:15 AM this morning, for registration that starts tomorrow at 7:30 am! The preschool is "first come first serve" and the parents have been camping out for years in order to get a spot for their kid. So it was our turn and Brett is the first in line this year- Dad of the year award!!! He was there from 5:30 to noon, we all had lunch together and then I was there from 1 to 5:30 and Brett is there, now- (as I sit comfortably at home in my pj's! ) until registration begins tomorrow am.
Linden and I went to say goodnite to Daddy at the park and she thought it was soo cool that Daddy gets to sleep outside, in a tent!
Ahhh- the things we do!

Bye-bye to all the baby girl stuff....

I think this is what they call "nesting"- or it's just a giant mess of clothes...you decide! I am cleaning out our attic space off all the baby stuff we do not need anymore. Passing along Linden's baby clothes and finding the TWO gender neutral things in this "girly girl's" wardrobe. I am sad to see the pink baby things go- but baby blue looks great too!

Haircut!

Linden got her first REAL haircut on Sunday- we took about 3 inches off! She keeps asking for her hair back- but it's awfully cute.....

Grocery shopping, Linden style
