Photo Shoot

Now that we have two girls (so cute to write), we have to capture EVERY MOMENT!!! Especially when Bella says "mommy, can me and Olivia take pictures together??", so with that being said.....pictures were taken!!!!!

Doesn't she look so cute????

My favorite body part....Olivia's feet!!!!!

My girlfriend knitted matching hats....soooooo cute!!!!!


Naked baby......


As much as Bella loved taking pics with her sister....Bella kinda likes posing alone a little more!!!!

First Couple of Weeks.....

Proud Big Sister!!!!

As Pete and I were driving Olivia home from the hospital, I couldn't help but to think "are we ready to be parents of a newborn again???". Our little Olivia had big shoes to fill since Bella was such a easy baby but we were ready for the challenge. After having tons of family and friends visiting to see our new addition, the real challenge began.....caring for a newborn while making sure Bella wasn't left out!!!

Thank goodness Bella is such a wonderful little girl and Pete took care of my every need because without those two, I would have gone BONKERS!!!

Our little Olivia was quite the challenge for the first couple of weeks....she just didn't know what she wanted. Pete kept saying "she's just not happy....should we take her to the doctor??". I assured him that every baby is different and Olivia was no exception. I also told him that Olivia is happy she's just 'high maintenance' (our little girl knows what she wants already...that's all)!!!

After the first couple of weeks of sleep deprivation and fussiness, it has been down hill from there!! Does Olivia still have her moments (like her witching hours of 11:30pm to 2:00am).....SURE but that comes with the territory, for the most part Olivia is PERFECT plus she sleeps through the night now, so she's really PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!

Pete in amazement that he put Olivia to sleep!!!!

Olivia watching the Laker game with Pete.....she really was staring at the tv!!!!

Welcome Olivia!!

Yay...Olivia's here!!!!

So I've been pretty bad about posting anything on the blog about Olivia but it has been a whirlwind juggling two kids (three kids, including Pete...he..he..he!) and dealing with every day life....I guess I assumed everything around us would stop because we had a baby!!!

Well this past Christmas is definitely going down as the craziest and best Christmas ever!!! The holiday started off with hauling Isabella to grandma's house and Pete rushing me to the ER on Christmas Eve, to discover my contractions were a false alarm. Then waking up Christmas day to a calm morning, waiting for family to come over to watch the Laker game and enjoying being with family. Well all of that happened but within an hour of the Laker game my water bag broke and I was rushed back to the hospital.....needless to say, there was no false alarm and Olivia joined our family at 11:33pm!!! Which will now be the second best day of my life (first best day is March 15th of course).....

When holding Olivia for the first time, I never thought I could love another little person (I was very scared that I only had enough love for Bella) but my mom was right, your heart just grows....and boy has it grown!! I love my little Olivia and I thank god everyday for our little blessing....

Our 'Caring' Bella

After Isabella sang at her Christmas recital, the next day was a school assembly where Isabella received a 'Caring Award' for being the most kind and helpful child in her class. Bella's teacher Ms. Farmer described her as 'caring, generous and helpful'. Pete and I couldn't be more proud of her!! YAY BELLA!!!!

Bellas Christmas Recital

Bella Sings???......

On Thursday, Dec. 16th...I had the opportunity to see my Bella sing her little heart out at the school Christmas recital. Bella was so excited to perform (she loves being on stage). The whole 1st grade class sang a super cute funny version of '12 Days of Christmas' and then accepted a standing ovation!!! I was so proud of her and can't wait until next year to see what she'll sing!! 'Tis the season!!!

Thanksgiving 2010

This Thanksgiving was definitely different from the past Thanksgivings that we have had....that is because I was 8 months and 3 weeks pregnant and boy was I feelin it!!! My mom was nice enough to cook this amazing turkey dinner (with all of the fixings), plus this amazing Kahlua cake....YUMMY!!! After dinner we started singing on the good ol' karoake machine....Bella sang "Who let the Dogs out" and then Pete (with Bella as a backup singer) sang "You give Love a BAD NAME"....it was HILARIOUS!!!! After we all rested our vocals, we played Pictionary and Bella was awesome at this game (no joking!!). All in all we had a nice Thanksgiving and can't wait for next year with our new addition....Olivia!!!

Had to include this picture of me (posing with my sisters)...HUGE huh??!!!! I'm 8 months 3 weeks....YOWZER!!!!

USC vs. UCLA 2009

Last year, we randomly had both sides of our families come into town and visit us...which happened to be the same weekend USC plays UCLA (college football). It was super fun and of course USC won (Madelyn's family choice)!!! Since we had such a blast last year, we will be duking it out again this year on December 4th. Meg has recently bought Isabella a UCLA shirt BUT I had purchased a USC shirt (which was bedazzled) for her at the beginning of this season....so we will see which team she will choose!! Can't wait the trash talking to begin....GO USC!!!
