34 weeks

This pregnancy has not been fun. Much harder than the first for some reason. I have an appointment on Tuesday so I'll know how much weight I've gained, YAY...not. So Jocelyn is really excited because she keeps saying, "When my baby sister, Evelyn, comes out she's going to play horses with me!" Yeaaaah, she's going to be sorely disappointed, poor thing.

Before and After

Here's one example:

Jillian asked me to take photos of her and Alex for their demo cd. Well, the only time we could both get together was at 9:30 in the morning. The shadows were awful, not to mention they wanted to be in the water and a tree so we got the nice splotchy shadows. I had to do a lot of work on the photos, which I'm not use to. It took me forever to find things that worked. I'm kinda proud of myself :-)

Newport Beach

32 weeks along

Steph, Laura, me

I dug myself a hole in the sand so I could lay on my stomach. So wonderful!

I had such a nice relaxing weekend! I headed down to Newport Beach with my sis in law, Laura, and we just ate and layed out! My kinda break! Danny and Steph came down to hang out with us Saturday too. We had a great time.

This is what I got printed out for Mikey for Father's Day

I just need to frame it so he can put it in his office. I've never used a template or clipped pictures so it took me awhile to figure it out. There is no question that Mikey is the best DAD in the world, words cannot express my gratefulness. I love you and it is obvious that Jocelyn does too :-) Jocelyn was in nursery yesterday and had to go potty so the lady asked her if she wanted her to get her mommy and Jocelyn replied, "No, I want my Daddy." Yep, pretty much sums it up.

The stupid food fest!

Awe man. What a bummer. I was SOOOO excited for the All American Food and Music Fest hosted by Bobby Flay. We got there about an hour and a half after it started and moseyed around to find what we wanted to eat. My sister, her boyfriend, Mikey and I all wanted to get in different lines so we could all get a different plate of food and share (you got one free meal from a purveyor with your ticket). So we all got into our different lines and waited and waited and waited...after an hour and a half of waiting in lines and NOT MOVING, we decided it just wasn't worth it. They WAY over sold the thing. The only stand getting their food out and without much wait was "America's best peanut butter and Jelly Sandwiches," so we went and got those while Mikey went and asked how to get a refund. So after we got our refunds, we left. So disappointing but because of the complete disappointment, it actually was pretty funny. We went to a food fest and got peanut butter sandwiches...

Trying out Manuel Settings.

So I don't ever use Manuel settings on my camera...ever. Just pure laziness on my part. I thought I'd give it a try today. I also love back lighting so I thought I'd try it with that too. If any of you know anything about photography PLEASE give me some tips. My camera had a really hard time focusing when I really tried to get the sun rays. Oh well. Practice makes perfect...when and if I do :-)

Jocelyn quote of the week...

Mommy walking up the stairs nude (sorry) and Jocelyn following close behind says, "WHOA! Mommy your bumbum is very very jiggley."

So funny and extremely depressing.
