Announcement!

I have only told a handful of people and I was going to wait until my first doctor's appointment to announce it, but I can't wait! I'm pregnant! I think I'm about 4 weeks along, but we'll see after I see the doctor. Brent and I are so excited. Aaron is almost 4 years old and about to enter preschool, so we figured it was time for the next one. Please pray for a healthy and safe pregnancy!

Recent Haps Part 3: Sister's Visit

Another big thing that happened with us this past month was my sister's visit. She was here for almost 2 months. It was great having her here. She helped with Aaron a lot and I got a break from giving him baths and potty training. ;-) He loved having her here, cause he's tired of playing with me. ;-) She got here while Brent's mom was still here so their stay overlapped, but it was fun. I'm afraid I did not get any other pictures because I lost my camera charger. Anyway these pics are from Hoover Dam.

Recent Haps Part 2: Brent's Mom

So, on to the recent haps update: Brent's mom, Melanie, came to visit for about a week. While she was here, we took her to the strip (of course), Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Dam, and Fremont Street. It was great to be able to spend time together. I wish she stayed longer, she's fun to be around.

I love my new grocery store!

Ok, so we've been getting advertisement flyers from this new store near our house. Because I've been shopping at Albertson's for several years now, (I mean before and after Okinawa), I didn't see what the big hoopla was about. Until... they sent us a coupon for 5 dollars of a purchase of 20. I figured, hey, why not? As soon as I got there, I realized that the store was very small. I also noticed that about 75% of the aisles consisted of fresh food like, vegetables, fruits, meats, dairy, and ready to cook meals. About 3-4 aisles have things like cereal and sauces and some canned foods, ect. I realized that when I went to check out, I bought mostly things that did not have preservatives and mostly organic! It occured to me that when I go to Albersons, I end up spending like over 100 on some fresh food, but mainly JUNK! This is because I spend most of my time going up and down the aisles filled with junk food, and by the time I get to the fresh food part, I just get a little because my cart is full! This time my cart was not even half filled, but I have about enough food to last a week AND no junk!

I think overall, buying organic does cost more, but I think I'll save a lot on junk food! ;-)

Relatives from the PI

After we returned from DL, we were visited by relatives from the Philippines. My cousins and thier kids came to Vegas for a few days. Here is Aaron is his (second?)cousins.

Recent Haps Part 1: Disneyland

Ok, so this last 2 months have been extremely busy! So busy, that I haven't had time to post anything on this blog. After Kate left, we decided to go to Disneyland... THEN some relatives from the Philippines came, THEN Brent's Mom came, and THEN my sister came (and stayed for a month and half!) So I'm go to post these events one by one starting with Disneyland.

We decided that we needed family time so we took Aaron to Disneyland. Taking him to DL is getting funner and funner since he is getting more and more aware of what he sees.


We normally go to Disneyland, so this time we decided to spend most of the day at DCA. Here is Aaron with the letter A (from the California sign outside the park).


We always take Aaron to see the playhouse disney show, even if we just do that and go straight to Disneyland afterwards. But this time, it was better because they updated the show with Aaron's favorite shows! The show now has Little Einsteins, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Winnie the Pooh. He was ecstatic to see "Rocket."



Here we are on the Ferris Wheel. (I forgot what this ride is called.) Brent apparently thinks it's funny to torture his son. ;-) Just kidding, Aaron was scared during the really swin-gy parts but overall we all had fun.

When the park closed we went over to DL for the rest of the night. We can never leave the park without going to the Buzz lightyear ride. He is and will probably always be Aaron's favorite character. We always start with Playhouse Disney, and end with Buzz. ;-)
