Baby update and summer evenings :)

So I find out if my baby is a boy or girl a week from tomorrow!!! Any guesses??? I really have had no feelings one way or another, so I can't wait to find out!! Lately baby names have been on my brain, so I thought I would write down a few of my favorites so far.

Boy                                              Girl
- Oliver                                        - Lillian
- Owen                                         - Holly
- William                                     - Emily
- Roland                                      - Olivia
- Warner                                      - Autumn

Now a few pics of what our summer evenings consist of....

Disneyland!

Well we made it back, although I was sad to leave (I may have cried on the drive home:). We spent a wonderful 5 days in the land of Disney, and California Adventure land, and had an absolute ball of a time! My parents came along with my brother Alex, my sister Catherine, and her two kiddos! I think our new favorite ride is The Grizzly River Run! Becca was brave and came along with us and got absolutely soaked and was grinning from ear to ear the whole time!

We had everything you would expect in the magical land of Disney, from toddler meltdowns, to no naps:) candy apples, cotton candy, staying out way too late, sleeping in, kids scared out of there minds on a ride you thought they might enjoy (ok just my kids on the haunted house ride). Watching the incredible firework show that again may have made me cry from sheer joy! What else did I miss......eating a whole huge turkey leg that was DELIS! Soaring over California was another very cool ride that yet again made me cry...you may conclude there was a lot of crying on this trip... all by me...one I am pregnant...two all the crying done on the trip was happy crying...when we left it was me acting like a 5 year old kid not wanting to leave sad crying, so all in all I would say the trip was worth every penny, and very memorable. I cannot wait to go back again with a new little munchkin in tow! :)

A few funny lines from Becca then to follow a million pictures....

-We had to explain to Becca that we had to go back home so dad could make more monies (money) so that we can come back again someday because the money ran out for this trip. Becca responded with this: "I have an idea, I know how to make money so while we drive home I will color and cut monies out so that we can come back to Disneyland! "

- We went out to eat one night at "Bubba Gump Shrimp" and they had this guy dressed up in a big pink shrimp costume. As we were driving back home Becca said "I really like shrimp alive and not dead, I think we should have that shrimp come home with us and let him come to Disneyland, he could use my ticket".

Soon Soon Soon!!!!!

We will be in this magical place!!!! I  can NOT wait to take the girls, and watch them light up! Becca is an old pro at Disneyland, however Rachel has not yet fully experienced this wonderful magical place! The girls have been keeping a countdown calendar for this blessed event, and are just so excited! This place just has so many wonderful memories for me, I love how each and every time I go I still feel the same excitement! like I am a 5 year old kid again! Anyway, I know I have been a bad bad blogger lately. Nathan and I have been working on project after project with our new house, yard, garden you name it! I will post pics on the ends results soon! A few quotes

Becca: (singing) "Today I am marrying my prince and I sure hope I washed my hair!"

Rachel: "Mom mom I poop poop in tub!" (trying to get as far away from it as possible)

Rachel: is into saying "I love you" a lot and wrapping her little arms around your neck! I LOVE it!
