Evening Sprinklers.

I love living in Southern California. 

In the summer, we get to do this at 7:30 at night.

We all ran through the sprinklers. 

The joy on Ethan's little face when Brett and I ran around the yard through the sprinklers was priceless. 

We will definitely be doing this activity a lot more throughout the summer.

Smile.

If this doesn't make you smile, I don't know what will. 

Do you run?

Are you a runner? Do you like to jog through the park on a sunny day? Do you find joy in lacing up those sneakers and hitting the pavement? 

Then head on over to my friend Rad Runner's blog and enter her awesome giveaway. 

And just for the record, no I am not a runner, but walking counts right? Who doesn't want to be comfy while pushing the wee ones through the park.

Inquisitive.

I love this face he makes.

He's questioning, looking for an answer, deeply thinking, and saying in his little voice, "huh".

I love the little guy. 

Hospital Already?

Last night Brett and I spent our evening at Long Beach Memorial Hospital.

I hadn't been feeling too good on Sunday afternoon and Monday so the doctor wanted to have me checked out. I was feeling light-headed, dizzy, really tired, and couldn't catch my breath. It made me a little nervous since I didn't do anything like that with Ethan so I gave the doc a call. She was concerned about my blood pressure among other things and told me to head on over to the labor and delivery floor at the hospital. 

Thankfully we got right in, they hooked me up, drew my blood and started monitoring me. 

While we waited for the blood test results and the EKG to be done, we got to hear the little guy loud and clear on the monitor. His heart rate was perfect and he was extremely active at times. We usually only get to hear his heartbeat for a minute or two at the doctor's office, so it was awesome being able to listen to his little heart beating for all that time.

After 3 hours we learned there was absolutely nothing wrong with me, except for the fact that I'm pregnant. 

They told me to make sure I drink tons of fluids, especially since it's getting warmer, and rest as much as possible. I had a feeling nothing would be wrong but it's always better to have everything checked out, just in case.

And aren't hospital gowns so attractive?

What a Difference...

...a door makes.

We had new doors put in our house and I am super thrilled. 

Our old doors were flimsy, crooked, didn't close well, had huge gaps at the bottom, and had some holes in them.

Our new doors are sturdy, close tightly, have small gaps at the bottom, and reduce the noise throughout the house greatly. The last reason was the biggest reason of all. We wanted to make the rooms as quite as possible for when the new baby gets here.

I love them! They are perfect and I couldn't be happier.

Summer Fire Pit.

On Friday night Brett decided to bust out the fire pit in the backyard. I'm not sure why he didn't think of this on the nights that it was actually chilly outside, seeing how Friday was the first night in quite some time that was warm, but it is what it is. It's how Brett works.

He had some wood pallets in the backyard that needed to be broken up and of course Ethan had to help.  

Whenever he uses his hammer or tools he says, "me working." I love it, my little carpenter.

I think Brett was pretty happy with his fire, don't you think?

Ethan got pretty comfy, said he wanted his blankie and then told us, "ni, night."

It was a nice evening. 

 Except for the one thing that was missing...s'mores. 

Next time, I'll be prepared.
