This is a random draft post I found. I think Vera is around 8ish months here, so that would make it sometime around Spring of 2012. Wow! Time has flown!</div>

The second half of July, Aaron's family came to visit. Sure miss living close to these guys :( BUT we got to spend sometime with them and it was awesome. We rented bikes in the city and rode over to the Golden Gate Bridge. It was about 45min bike ride from Ghirardelli Square to the bridge. This is probably one of my most favorite things I have done. We had a beautiful day and it wasn't too hot or too cold. If only I wasn't pregnant I would have loved to bike around more. We hit up Scoma's for dinner after walking around for a little. Michael and Aaron all they can do is well be boys, as you can tell. </center>

We also enjoyed time taking the kiddos to a lagoon which they ended up loving. We also went to Muir Beach intending to hit up Muir woods. But we got a late start and the parking was insane! I was so bummed because this is also one of my favorite places ever. It was nice that we went to the beach and it was a dog beach so George loved that! It was a lot of fun to have them visit. Hopefully they'll come and visit us in Seattle ;)</center>

I'm doing July in two parts because we had a lot of family come visit us. Right at the beginning I went to a 26 week ultra sound and the tech informed me that I was actually having a girl! I'm not going to lie about it. As soon as I walked out of the office and called Aaron I was crying. Why?! Because at my last ultra sound they told me I was having a boy and I was so excited as I already have two girls and I cried then too (pregnancy harmones). So I was sad I wasn't having a boy and I was having a girl. Well I get over things pretty fast and I started to pull out the handy me downs from the girls and I was excited again to have a girl. Girls are pretty dang fun, emotionally draining sometimes and dramatic but fun. I told Aaron that the max I was willing to try for is six! Yep! To try for boys. My limit is six girls. Ideally I want five kids, so hopefully one of the next two are boys. Call me nuts but I love being apart of a big family and I want that for my kids too. I also want to be done having kids by 30. I didn't plan on saying all of this right now, but it just happened. Now that you know the direction I'm headed in you don't have to be shocked when I get pregnant again ;)</center>

So my family came to visit us for 4th of July while we were still living to California. We had a lot of fun together going into San Francisco site seeing and going on a Duck's Tour around the city. Emma fell asleep in Chanel's arms on the tour like that!! We just had a lot of fun. At night we would play Mafia together...good times. </center>

As for the rest of the first half of the month, we went to Santa Cruz and spent some time at the beach with friends and walking the board walk. Vera is completely a beach girl and Emma was perfectly fine sitting in her stroller the whole time (she HATES sand). One day, we took a spontaneous day trip with some friends to the river and just hung out (miss those people!). Can you believe that was just in the beginning of July!!!</center>

Sadly, I can barely remember what in June! Thank goodness for pictures to help remind me. We spent a lot of time going to the pool or the splash pad. We went and picked our own strawberries. The girls loved and Marge picked enough strawberries for us to make and can some jam. It was delicious. I probably take too many pictures of the girls sleeping. But I just love them. Aaron and I celebrated <span style="font-size: large;">5 YEARS</span>!!! Crazy how fast time goes by. I wanted a steak, so we headed to Ruth Chris where they sprinkled our table with rose petals and enjoyed some of our favorite food.
I also, lost my engagement ring down the toilet!! YES. My ring. I flushed the toilet and was pulling my pants up lol and my ring caught on my jeans perfectly and took my ring right off my finger and no joke slam dunked into the toilet and went out with the last flush :( I of course dove into the toilet reaching for my ring but it was pointless. It was gone. So then I hurried and turned off the water to the toilet and to the whole house. We took the toilet off and tried to look but that too was pointless. I called a rooter who came the next day with his camera equipment. I expected worse case scenario, which was in the sewer some where. The guy put his camera scope down and with in a minute there was my <b>RING</b>! 7ft from the pipe entrance! The hard part now was trying to figure out how to get it out. After 10min of trying to use a contraption on the end of the scope, which didn't work the guy was like I have a wet/dry vac in my car... 5min later I had my ring back again :) Thank goodness! I was literally distraught about it, but I mean the whole thing was so bizarre. I feel pretty lucky to have gotten it back.

May. Was a busy month. My mom came to visit and we took her to one my favorite places. <a href="http://www.nps.gov/muwo/index.htm">MUIR WOODS</a>. It is beautiful and everything you want if you want redwoods, a nice trail path for your stroller, and green scenery. Really, it's beautiful. I wish I had time to go there one more time before I leave, but I don't. I'm hoping that I'll see more of this scenery though as we head up to Washington. Seriously, if you are visiting San Fran you should go to Muir Woods. If you do! Go first thing in the morning between 8-9am because after that parking is impossible and buses show up and then there is lots of people instead of enjoying the quietness and personal space to walk. We tried going later in the afternoon not to long ago, and no joke there were no parking spots and none were opening up anytime soon. It was a mad house. So go early!<br />
<br />
A few random photos from the month. You know those jump/bounce places that seem to be springing up every where?! My kids love going to them! Vera and Emma are old enough where they both can climb up on their own and run around.<br />
<br />
Vera was in a ballet class during the Spring. To say she LOVED it would be an understatement. She would ask me everyday, "mom can I go to dance class today?" She would sit by the door all dressed and ready to go if it was, and if it wasn't she'd still put her clothes and slippers on. Watching her dance in her recital was a priceless moment. Her personality of sass and spunk definitely showed. She was all smiles and loved that everyone was watching her dance. I was also, really pleased that she actually remembered the steps to the dance. I literally can't wait for her to do dance again because it's the most adorable thing ever, especially when they're young.

Time flies! Just looking at these pictures I can't believe how much older Vera and Emma both look. Kinda sad... With a baby coming in a month and half, I've decided I need to really catch up on my blog. There are so many pictures I want to add in but I can't put all of them. PS. My pictures auto back up to my Google+ and when I was going through them I was like what the heck, why is David Hasselhoff in my picture!!?? Then I thought it was kinda funny, so I left him there hah! We went and explored Napa one weekend. It was a beautiful drive and we loved the wine country. Of course, we don't drink wine and we have kids hah so we just walked around the two, took a scenic drive, and ate some good italian. We also went to the Oakland Zoo. That was pretty dang good... Hilly. But fun and a good work out. We also spent Easter in Utah and did several egg hunts. The girls love it and so did we. We went to the egg hunt at the BYU football stadium. There were so many people! Sorry, but when I see other people who are sprinting to run their kid to the middle of the field so their kid could at least pick up something and not get run over...you better believe I'm sprinting too! haha.

My sweet little Emma turned 1 in February. I hate it when they turn 1! I always go to bed shedding a few tears that night because it means they are growing up and it's happening a lot faster than I thought, and catches me off guard. She's so sweet and happy and we absolutely adore her. Happy Birthday little Emma lulu.<br />

It's only taken me several months to post about my trip to India... o wellllllll...<br />

As a few months have passed I can still say that India is not my cup of tea... I love to explore and have adventures but I wouldn't/didn't feel comfortable in India without my husband. The mass amount of people is chaotic, especially since 99% of them are men and seems like they all just stand there in the street for a living staring at you. No joke where are the woman? At home.<br />
<br />
I was in India for two days, so it was enough to get a feel for it but some may not agree. I think India has a horrible first impression (think runaway!), if you're not prepared. I think if I could spend a good amount of time there, through the whole country I think I would really like it a lot, especially with Aaron.<br />
<br />
We had arranged for a driver for the days we were there. It was about $190 I believe for him to be with us basically 24/7 and that included everything plus a 4 hour drive to Agra to see the Taj Mahal with an English tour guide. I found this driver through trip advisor, click <a href="http://www.driverpankajsingh.com/">HERE</a>. He unfortunately was not available and said that his brother Monu could drive for us. They provided a nice Toyota SUV that fit the four of us fine and it had AC, but in February that wasn't a problem. Monu was a nice, safe driver. I thought it was interesting when my dad asked him how India as whole felt about Obama as our president. He said we love Obama... I was like whattt??? Thumbs down...<br />

We got there in the afternoon, where we straight to the hotel to check-in and afterward headed out for some evening sight-seeing. We went to Qutub Minar in Delhi... it was cool. The grounds were pretty to walk around. The ticket line for foreigners to Indians was like 1:50. That was a first.<br />
<br />
My parents wanted to look at some rugs and so he took us to a place. It didn't work out. But then we headed to a restaurant for dinner called The Panchshila Rendezvous in New Delhi. This was on recommendation from our driver and I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was nice. We pulled up and it was definitely one of the nicer buildings all lit up with white lights. They sat us right away and we ordered. Since we are familiar with India food, we had an idea of what we wanted and didn't have any problems ordering. It was pretty good!!! I can't say it was better than what I have had here in the states, but it definitely was good. So all in all I really liked this place.<br />
<br />
The next morning we woke up at the crack of dawn and headed for Agra. The drive was beautiful once we got out of the city. The country was just so pretty, especially when you compare to the the deteriorating buildings and slums of the city. The craziest part of India is the ANIMALS!! I mean we saw everything walking down the road along side of us as if they were cars too!! Cows, dogs, cats, monkeys, goats, etc... When I saw monkeys, I was like are you kidding?! I'm so glad I wasn't driving! Not to mention the sheer amount of people they can stuff in a car (see pictures).<br />

<br />
When we arrived in Agra which is a small city, we randomly pulled over and picked up this guy who happened to be our tour guide, but it was random. We then went to a place called Taj Darbar for some breakfast. There was no one else there except us. They had some American plates on the menu, and if I remember right some one ordered scramble eggs, and they came out like watery yellow mush... but I ordered an Indian breakfast called Paratha. It was soooo good! I ended up ordering another order and we ate it all.<br />

As we arrived at the Taj Mahal with our tour guide, we were dropped off at a place down the street where we bought tickets and then took a tuck tuck to the entrance. We walked right in without a wait and our tour began. I can't remember the guides name, but his english was fantastic. He was knowledgeable and gave us everything you would want to hear/know. He then teased us about taking pictures AFTER asking us if we wanted him to take a picture of us and that the first one was free and then he would start charging!!! LOL! And as the day went on people were asking us to take a picture with them, and our tour guide said you should charge them! LOL again! He says a lot of people who travel to the Taj Mahal have never been anywhere nor ever seen a white person! So they stare.<br />

But really, what you don't see in the pictures of The Taj Mahal are the surroundings. It's beautiful. The pools, gardens, and other buildings are amazing. It's huge! It doesn't seem real that I was there. We didn't have take off our shoes to go inside, they had footies to go over your shoes. But as you exit there is a huge area where I guess the majority of people put their shoes into an area and it looked like chaos. We sat on the benches outside that looked toward the Taj Mahal while our guide told us facts and stories. It was perfect. The weather couldn't have been more ideal. It is definitely worth going to if you ever decide to go to India, I believe it is a must even if that is the only reason why you are going! We ran into a group of school kids that had driven up from Southern India. They were so excited to meet us, and talk, and take pictures. They were probably about 12 years old I think. On our way out there was a group of young girls and their mom's and they were dressed so amazing! The bright colors are just ahhh! I told them they looked beautiful and if I could take a picture with them haha... The Taj Mahal was probably my favorite part of the trip. Afterward, I really wanted to go to the local market right there in Agra because the lady at my Wells Fargo was like you need to go there! It's better than the markets in Delhi... I was bummed because 1. We didn't really have time 2. When I mentioned it the driver, he was like no. Of course if were gonna buy something he has to take us to his people so he can get a cut. We drove back to Delhi and he took us to this place for rugs, and he said they have jewelry too, and spices. Because I really wanted some spices! They had beautiful rugs!!! But their jewelry was awful and so were their spices. I was disappointed to not make it to an outdoor market. That's one of the things I really don't like about drivers, especially this one.<br />

It was then time for us to head back to the hotel and start packing up because we were on the red eye back home that night. My sister and I flew home together and as we were going through security no joke the security shmucks harassed me. Not to mention it's a little scary to walk into an airport where the military is patrolling and they carry these huge bazooka guns! My bag goes through the scan and they tell me there's a water bottle in my bag... I'm like no, but you can check... so two guys no joke pulled apart my entire bag and took everything out, looking through everything! One of them even winked at me!!!!! Barf... I was so irritated. I finally was like there is nothing in here! and started just throwing my stuff back in my bag not caring that it wasn't fitting and walking away with one boot on and one off... See ya India.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"> Tigers, elephants, and white sandy beaches O MY!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thailand. I think of exotic beaches, Eat Pray Love(the movie), thai food (yum), and elephants. It was all those things minus the movie but add the tigers!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Amazing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We arrived in Phuket (pronounced poo-ket) late in the night. It was an hour drive to our hotel in Patong Beach. We planned on just picking up a taxi to our hotel and when we got there and that is exactly what we did. I will talk about cost of taxis later to give you a ball park idea on costs of taxis. We checked into out hotel which was located in downtown Patong Beach. Where you could here the night clubs through the night. If I were to go back to Thailand I would stay in Kata Beach. Much quieter, quaint, beach town south of Patong about 20min and much more family oriented. I'm not a big clubber but if you are Patong is your place! (See my *disclaimer at the end of the post for my opinion.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Our first day in Thailand we wanted to get a feeling for the area and decided to do our beach excursion the second day. We had the hotel call for a taxi to take a us to Tiger Kingdom (info <a href="http://www.tigerkingdom.com/Phuket.html">HERE</a>) right when they opened. The hotel said it would be 600Baht ($18.50) to take us there and back which was about a 15min drive there. So we waited for our taxi and it was more like a personal driver. There wasn't any taxi signs on his car or anything. We got in and met Berm (Bem). What we thought was just going to be a round trip from our hotel turned out to him driving us the whole ENTIRE day. He was awesome!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyway, Tiger Kingdom. Go in the morning! Less crowded. It was organized and very clean. We picked our package and headed to the tigers. There is a TV screen for each area of the tigers and they are separated based on size. We picked to see the cubs and giant full grown tigers. We waited about 20-30 mins and there was lots of sitting areas to watch the tigers. Most people didn't sit though because they were watching the other people interact with the tigers. Because of bacteria you can transfer from other tigers to the cubs you HAVE to see the cubs first if you are seeing them. So when our time was finally up we washed our hands and put on some facility sandals and headed into the stall. We actually ordered our packages separately so that we could go in as pairs and spend more time with the tigers. It could get kinda crowded in the stall if you have more than two of you plus a trainer and two tigers. So they actually started us with the small tigers which was really nice and then were lead into the cubs area. All in the same stall but separated but a small fence that was only like 2ft tall. It was so much fun and a bit intimidating. I kept getting in trouble because I would pet behind their ears or want to hold their little faces because they are so CUTE and you can't do that. It's basically the shoulder blades downs for obvious reasons. We played with them and tried to get pictures and we got a few good ones. Some people have asked me since I got back if I thought the tigers were drugged. NOT AT ALL. One of the main reasons I think this has been successful is because the tigers are bred in captivity. They are born at this place and grow up with human interaction from the moment they come out of the womb. The trainers seem to genuinely care about them as well. AND they are CATS! Cats sleep a lot and are lazy and then for like 10 mins of the day they do something funny and that's about it. They're not dogs that are just going to come over and jump all over and try to lick you to death. When we hung out with the full grown tigers it was crazy! They are massive and honestly all your thinking to yourself is... what if... but after a second went by I was like we're fine and got cozy with the tiger :) Overall, Tiger Kingdom was a great experience and that is something I would definitely do again every time I go there!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I almost forgot to mention that there was a Go Kart place right next to the Tiger Kingdom and we told our driver we wanted to try it out and he asked if would try the place across the street. It's kinda hidden and you can't see it off the main road but he said the track was better and so we went. It's called Phuket Kart Speedway and they have about six different karts you can choose from all based on the amount of power you want. My dad and I got the second to fastest kart and it was insane!!!! In my family some of us have lead foots ;) It was unreal how fast you could go and when I spun out the first and only time I was scared after that! So GO here!!! We loved it I wanted to go back there later that day and do it again! After reading some opinions about Patong speedway next to Tiger Kingdom they are more for beginners and are only one stroke karts as opposed to Phuket Speedway which are two stroke karts which I guess are fast! They also have beginner karts too. Find info about Phuket Speedway <a href="http://www.phuket101.net/2011/08/go-kart-in-phuket.html">HERE</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After this we went a grabbed lunch and headed to Patong beach to get some sun. It was beautiful and something you can't pass up. The majority of the tourist population was Australian and the culture of Thailand is you can tan nude anywhere, at least every beach we went to was like that. The water was warm and clear and I could have probably spent the whole day at the beach.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We then drove to Kata beach where I had told the driver there was an elephant trekking place I wanted to go to and when we got there I saw baby elephants chained up on the side of the road :( and I was literally distraught about it. Thinking dang it we just drove here and this is not the place I researched and had great reviews and I didn't communicate with the driver well enough. I was SO relieved when I told my parents I wanted to leave because it just looked shady and this was not the place I had on our itinerary and they said OKAY no problem (Thank you for not getting mad at me!!!!). So I looked at our details and told the driver I wanted to go to Kok Chang. Which thankfully was just five minutes back in the direction we came from. We pulled up and I was automatically jumping for joy when they didn't have their baby elephants chained up on the side of the road. The people were so nice and it wasn't crowded at all. You don't need to call ahead they just fit you in when they can. And they have a 20,30, and 50min trek. We did the 30min but I'm pretty sure we at least were out there for 60min. Our guide was awesome! At first he seemed a little grumpy but he lightened up and was so much fun. There were times where I thought... are we actually going to go up this mountain? I see no trail, and it's pretty hilly. But the elephant was insane it just kept walking on up. Once we hit the scenic half (beach view) our guide got off and took our camera and started taking pictures. In fact he never got back on! The last 20-30min he just cruised out in front, behind, and to the side of us taking pictures the whole time! He loved taking pictures and he worked the camera pretty dang well! He could tell the elephant commands to do a certain pose and it was so fun! After we were done we had brought bananas and fed them to the elephants. So if you're in this area go to Kok Chang Safari it will be a once in a life time.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We then stopped at Kata Beach because we were right next to it, had some time to spare, and it was ranked #4 beach in Thailand on trip advisor. Definitely pretty and I loved the area. If I make it back to Thailand I am staying here.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Last stop for the day Mookda Spa. Perfect way to end a busy day. For $70 you can get a 2-hour whatever you want deal. Massage, facial, legs, mani/pedi, etc... I'm not big on massages but I do love facials and having my feet rubbed (usually only by my husband though). It was amazing and the environment was relaxing. This facility is completely outdoor there is no real building. The people were so nice and warm. Our driver picked this place out and he did a great job. The drivers also get perks for taking you to places. After the spa we had our driver drop us off at the downtown area to walk around and get some dinner and then we just headed back to our hotel.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">Our driver was with us from about 9:30am to 9pm and drove us all around the area as far as an hour away from our hotel. He charged us $50 (1600 Baht)... That is nothing!!! Especially since the hotel told us it would be $20 just for Tiger Kingdom and that was only 15min away! So if you're looking for a driver in Phuket call Berm his number is 080-5387016. He didn't have an e-mail but I would use skype to make the call if you really wanted to nail down your plans or just wait tell you get there.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Day Two: We did a beach excursion to the Phi Phi Islands ( pronounced Pee-Pee). We wanted small group size, a speed boat, and great reviews. So we went with Phuket Sail Tours, info found <a href="http://www.phuketsailtours.com/">HERE</a>. THEY picked us up at 6:50am from out hotel which seems really early, but because of the time difference you will not have a problem getting up. It took about an hour to get the dock which was on the other side of the island. The van they picked us up in was clean and had AC. Our departure time was delayed because they picked up the wrong two people or the two people claimed to be someone they weren't. But it was minor in the scheme of things. We headed out by 8:30am and since we left 30min late we would arrive home 30min late which was 4:30pm. It took about an hour by speedboat to get to the islands. Our first stop was the picturesque Phi Phi Beach. I suppose we hit this up first before everyone else gets there because as we were leaving the ferry boats showed up and they carry like 500 people. Thank goodness we got hang out there for a while and leave before the masses showed up and this is not a big beach. I mean really it's tiny but beautiful. We then headed to a few other bays where we just jumped off the boat and swam around or snorkeled. Our guide was funny he would throw bananas at us in the water and the fish love bananas and they would swarm you!! It was crazy! We then hit up a small beach village where they had lunch on the beach waiting for us and it was traditional thai food. It was great. We hung out at the beach for a while and then headed out for some more swimming/ snorkeling and I decided to just lie out in the front of the boat and work on my tan and enjoy everything. Our last stop was a small island that you could walk around in 15min and was surrounded by crystal clear water.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Overall the tour was great. I had a hard time understanding our guide sometimes but he was nice. They had tons of food and drinks on the boat for free so if you ever got hungry you could just grab something. They had fresh fruit and some local fruit to try as well all of which was delicious. They had chicken wings which were SO good hah and water, and coke, and sprite, and juice, etc... This was definitely a huge plus for me :) Our boat had 17 people on it that day and it seats 30. They try to stick to groups no more than 20 and I really enjoyed this because you weren't just a number and they genuinely cared that you have a good time. I believe it was about $80/ person for the day and everything was included (snorkel gear, snacks, drinks, lunch, pick-up and drop-off to your hotel). If you were in Hawaii and wanted to take a speedboat to Lanai or something it would probably be at least $300-$400 per person. To take just the ferry to get to Lanai and back is $60. So in Thailand the activities are very affordable, worth it and your money goes much further.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Loved Thailand maybe I'll go back there someday but I have it checked off now and there is still so many other places to explore :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Real quick Bangkok. We were only here for a day and I wasn't too impressed. But I thought I should at least mention it. It feels more like a business city rather than a tourist city. We did supposedly go to the worlds largest outdoor market, saw the temple of dawn (Wat Aran), and saw the reclining buddha. At the market, Chanel and I sat down under this tent where the sweetest old woman was making muslim food in front of you. AHMAZING! We order one of everything and loved everything and ordered a second round. I would go back there just so I could eat there! My parents ate another tent a few slots down and they said they had the best chicken of their life and told us we missed out haha while we were telling them at the same time they missed out on our food too! Also, if you look up a place to eat in Bangkok with a view of the temple of dawn make sure you check when then review was last updated! Because we went looking for a place for 1.5 hours that did no exisit and then decided to sit down at the resturant that supposedly replaced it called ... DO NOT GO THERE! It was awful. The view was pretty but our food was awful. WE literally could not eat it and had to leave... and then we stopped at Swenson's and got ice cream for dinner hah. That was Bangkok.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">*Disclaimer: But to be real honest walking around Patong at night is... degenerate. It's not pretty, clean, or good for kids. And I'm not saying if it's not those things then it's degenerate. When you walk by the girl holding flyers for you know what... and wonder if she is old enough to even be 14 I have a problem with that. The reality is that Thailand is the number one sex tourism destination in the world and you can tell. I did a research project on this particular topic in college with a group of people along with medical tourism. So to actually witness the statistics and see it for my self was pretty interesting and true to what we found just from using the internet and other resources. It's really a beautiful place but it could be paradise if it didn't lack in a few areas. </span></div>

Hong Kong hasn't been very good to me since I have now been there twice and both times I was a bit disappointed, but I also didn't have very good weather either time and that really affected the things we were doing. There is nothing really historical to see COMPARED to other places like Japan... We were only there for about 2 days. If you go to Hong Kong you MUST MUST get a Chinese visa so can take the ferry over to Shenzhen! For me that would be the only reason to go to Hong Kong. Hong Kong is cool to look at and see the view points of the city BUT not so much if you have foggy bad weather. We wanted to take the gondola ride up to the Buddha but again bad weather... There are tons of out door markets that are a lot of fun to fight for your price and negotiate but you can only do that for so long. We walked around the city, Joy and I did a session at the Hong Kong Temple. We go around seeing everyone else temples and churches so it only makes sense to make time to see your faiths own temple too. We also walked over to the avenue of stars that overlooks the city where they do a light show off the buildings at 8pm. I was expecting something cool like the water show at the Bellagio in Vegas. Nope it wasn't that cool and we left after 15 minutes.<br />
<br />
So why go to Shenzhen? THE BEST SHOPPING IN THE WORLD! There is really no other way to put it especially if you are looking for the REAL knockoffs LOL. That's what they call them! They have the best. There are 3 grades of fake. A(the real deal) B(okay) C(you can tell) They will do all the tests and show you the difference between the different grades. I got one LV bag and to be honest I'm not joking but I really think it's real... It's legit! I got the A grade and I have had it for 3 years now and it's still a gem and worn beautifully like the real deal. The purses are amazing here along with watches. Electronics I would stay away from unless you really want some. We got a pair of Beats headphones and they worked great for a while... now we use them as ear mufflers when we use the saw... hah. Custom suits for men are also very popular and inexpensive. Plus there is golf! Mission Hills is within a reasonable distance and the courses are great, luscious, and green. Not to mention every single person gets their own personal caddie and these girls are the sweetest.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I recently just got back from a trip half way around the world and it was so much fun. If you know me then you know I love to travel which is love I have inherited from my parents. Thank you! This trip was 10 days long and spanned over 4 countries. It was last minute at least for a trip like this. My dad had told me one day he had to go to India for a business trip and I was like whattt! I'm coming! I mean how many times do hear someone saying they're going to India. Not very often! So I invited myself not usually my style but it's my dad. So then Joy and Chanel decided they wanted to go to. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
It's not an easy task though to have two little girls and ask your mil to watch them and then worry the whole time if they're doing okay. This will probably be my only trip without the girls and Aaron I ever do again. Thanks Marge for watching them and to all the woman in my ward who helped! You guys are awesome!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
We got our Visa for India and we were ready to go! But wait I haven't told you about the other 3 countries we decided to stop at on our way over to India! JAPAN, HONG KONG, and THAILAND! I'm just going to post each country separately and we are going to start with our first stop Japan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
We were on way waiting for a our flight at LAX to depart and we sat... and waited and sat for a little over an hour on the runway due to mechanical problems until they decided to get us back off the plane and wait some more (5ish hours) and then they decided to cancel the flight. We weren't exactly starting out on a good foot. So instead of spending our first night in Tokyo we spent it in LA at In In Out and hot tub of the hotel. They rescheduled the flight for the next morning and we were off. But we hit more trouble when we landed in Tokyo. We found out when we landed that Tokyo had experienced a snow storm the day before that basically was a natural disaster. The city isn't equipped to handle mass amounts of snow because it doesn't usually stick. A 45 year record of snow fall was broken on the weekend we decided to fly in. EVERYTHING was shut down. Trains, freeways, airports, taxis. It was chaos. Mass amounts of people in the airport because people had to stay the night there. O and the line for taxi which coming maybe 1 taxi/hour was no joke probably a few days long. There were no taxis!!! I walked up to some people who were towards the middle to beginning of the line and asked how long they had been waiting in line for a taxi... 7 HOURS and it was 3:30PM! Can you imagine waiting outside for a taxi that long. I kick myself for not taking picture of the chaos. So my dad and I walked around trying to figure out another mode of transportation. Finally, I just went up to a guy who was picking up two other friends from the airport and had a bigger car (because everyone has tiny cars there) and asked him if he could give us a ride to Tokyo which was 35 miles from the airport. At first he was like no and then he said I can 2 of you and then he was like actually I can take all 4 of you! It was amazing and we were on our way again. SIX hours later... we are still in the car driving... to go 35 miles... The guy driving us didn't know the freeways had been closed... After a billion back roads and driving back and forth over the freeway hoping to be opened we made it to our hotel. This guy was nice and patient and did I say nice! Can you imagine that! Driving someone thinking it's only 35-40min of your day and then it's 6 hours! And he couldn't exactly drop us somewhere because there was nowhere to be dropped off! We felt pretty lucky that we had run into a nice guy willing to help us out and not getting irritated with the situation. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Anyway, after that we walked down the street to Shibuya a huge downtown area similar to New York's Time Square. We ate dinner and walked around it was freezing cold. But it was fun to explore. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
The next day(Monday) we woke up early to take the Shinkansen (bullet train) to Kyoto. Thankfully they were opening the trains back up on Monday! This train is awesome and if you are worried about the language barrier when trying to travel around, there were enough people who spoke english that helped us out. Most of the people who worked at the station spoke english and we were able to make it through. We rode in the green car which is sorta like first class for a train. We wanted reserved seats and to have some room since we really wanted to see Mt. Fuji from the train on the way to Kyoto. When buying your ticket ask the ticket guy to reserve seats on the mountain side/volcano. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Once we got to Kyoto we had arranged for a driver to pick us up and drive us around who also doubled as a tour guide!!! This was probably the best arrangement of the whole trip! It was SO nice to get off the train and have some waiting to take us instead of trying to figure what train or bus we had to take next. His name <span style="background-color: #fffcff; color: #112200;">Takakazu and his information can be found <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g298564-d4765281-Reviews-Private_English_Tour_in_Kyoto_Day_Tour-Kyoto_Kyoto_Prefecture_Kinki.html">HERE</a> </span><span style="background-color: #fffcff;">along with a link to his website. He was nice, professional and filled with all the information you could want for a tour guide. It's hard to find someone who speaks english and shows you the cool things about each place and how to do them. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: #fffcff;"> </span><span style="background-color: #fffcff;">Our first stop: Fushimi Inari Shrine (Shintoism Shrine) this shrine is famous for it's bright orange torii gates. Yep, I saw pictures of these on Pinterest and have always wanted to go here! They have tons of torii gates and several trails to hike up the mountain side which is about 2 hours round trip. If you have time and the weather is good I would do this! Our guide showed us the proper way to pray at this shrine and if you want to participate in a few of them I would have some spare change on hand. This place runs purely on donations and every time you pray you throw some money in the bucket. I would be a millionaire if I got paid for every time I prayed!!!!!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: left;">Our second stop: Kiyomizudera Temple (Buddhist Temple) is one of Japan's most celebrated temples. It was and is currently under reconstruction though. It started snowing while we were here and it was magical! :) Our guide took us over to one of the buildings where you pay 100 yen to walk under the temple in complete darkness while holding onto a railing. It was so cool! You start by walking down the stairs into darkness and you walk for a mine and then you see this little light shining onto a small revolving rock at waist level and you can only see a little portion of it. You're supposed to make a wish and then touch the rock. You have to keep holding onto the rod ;) and keep walking until finally you see daylight again. I can't even tell you how many similarities there are between what I believe as a mormon and the Buddhism and Shintoism. Our guide explained to us that Buddhism and Shintoism are different but work together each covering different life events. They go to the temple and pray for a wish or enlightenment, we go to our temple and pray for blessings or revelation. The words are different but mean the same thing. It was a neat experience and if it weren't for our guide we would have just walked around and not done/learned all these interesting things. At the entrance of this temple is a ton of shopping! Good shopping too. I would plan extra time here or at least go back to shop. Most temples/shrines close down between 5-6pm.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Last Stop with out guide: Kenninji Temple (Zen, sect of buddhism). This is not one of the main zen temples in the area but we were running out of time and I had read the reviews that this temple was surprisingly great. And it was. It was beautiful. The grounds were pretty and they have a painting of dragons on the ceiling it's crazy! I really enjoyed this zen temple.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Our last activity for the day was to go play dress up like a GEISHA!! If you are in Kyoto you HAVE to do this! It was so much fun for us! It is located on the shopping streets of the Kiyomizudera Temple. My dad walked around while we got all dolled up.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The place is called </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Maiko Henshin Studio SHIKI. Information found <a href="http://www.maiko-henshin.com/en/">HERE</a>. A few things about this place. 1. I highly recommend this place. It is clean and in a nice area. The women are so sweet except the lady that came out to tell us our time was up hah. How it works. You make your reservation online, pick which package you want and they will send you an e-mail confirmation back (check your spam bc mine kept going to spam). We wanted the whole entire dress-up but we wanted to take our own pictures. With this plan you get 10minutes outside behind the shop which is decent. We had my dad taking pictures and I wish I would have had some accessories like a fan or umbrella which I could have easily gotten at one of stores near by. I think if you do the studio shots or outdoor photographer that is included. You HAVE to buy toe socks (390yen) and optional is a full wig or half wig(more money). The full wig sounded more ideal to me at the time but you have this funky line on your forehead (see below) If you do the half wig you don't have that funky line and they incorporate your real hair into the wig and it looks natural. They also have an option for eyelashes if you have tiny lashes like me! As you can see they paint you, do your make-up and hair and they have a nice variety of dresses to choose from and nice ones to boot! After your time is done you head up to the wash room which they have everything you need to wash your face and neck off. They have blow dryers. Don't forget your make-up for after! The whole process from walking in the door to out is about 2 hours. It takes about 45ish minutes for them to prep you depending on how busy they are. They were also very flexible with us because we were running late for our appointment and we called to inform them and they were accommodating. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">So this place was really great. You can't go to Japan and not have this experience especially if your with other girls!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Japan (Kyoto) was my favorite place of our whole trip and I will definitely be going back there with Aaron because we did not have enough time. Plus I heard Hiroshima is beautiful and I would love to go there too. The Japanese people are probably the nicest group of people I have encountered while traveling. I can't wait to go back! Next post Hong Kong!</span><br />

January. We drove down to Big Sur and Monterey for New Years. We wanted to see some redwoods and some beach. The drive is beautiful and we couldn't get enough of the picturesque landscape. We had so much fun and as you can tell we bring George everywhere with us. He loves the beach too. We also hit up the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Vera loved it and Aaron liked the sea otters. I expected it to be better and was a little disappointed but that doesn't really matter as along as the girls loved it. </center>

We also hit up San Francisco one weekend and did some touristy things like the Golden Gate Bridge. We then headed over to fisherman's warf and ate lunch at THE CODMOTHER FISH AND CHIPS. It was amazing!!! You definitely need to hit that up if you're around that area. We love this city and we are trying to get out and see as much as possible.</center>

The Second half of January we went down to Southern California to visit my mom and celebrate her birthday! My sister met us there and we had a great time with mom. I always love going to color me mine and just hanging out and painting. They need snack food though... ;) It was my dad's birthday too and he was there visiting at the same time and we went to dinner. Happy Birthday to us :)<br /><table border="0" style="width: 150px;"><tbody>

December was kinda crazy and I think that's a bit of an understatement... or maybe I'm just the only one ;) Either way we just decided to stay home for the holidays since Aaron is a pretty recent hire he didn't have anytime off. We had fun though! We went to a Christmas tree farm in Half Moon Bay where we(Aaron) got to cut down our own tree! That was fun and since we were right next to the beach we couldn't pass that up because we LOVE the beach. Yes it is messy and 9 out of 10 times usually a pain but it's our thing. We loved going to Christmas Parties and hanging out with friends.</div>

Yeah I haven't blogged since February and now it's <strike>December </strike> haha now January. Life happens. It's chaos. And things like my blog get put on the back burner until I can finally catch up with everything which honestly is never. The list is never ending but that's okay I like to be busy! So here is 2013 in a nut shell... see how long it takes you to scroll through my post and that's how fast it went by! Just like that! Seriously!<br />
<div>

1. I had a baby. Just three days after we picked up George I went into labor. I was induced. Yes I did drive my self to the <strike>airport</strike> no I mean the hospital ha, Aaron met me there. I had the whole labor and delivery to myself and as soon as I was induced I got the epidural. From the minute I walked into the hospital to delivery it was 2.5 hours. It went by fast and it was amazing and it was FAST! I pushed only a couple of times and she was here :) Kennedy Attig... Ooo WAIT! I changed her name after a week later to Emma :) Emma Attig. My Doctor was great and so were the nurses. Vera's reaction to Emma was literally shock. She kept looking at Emma and then at me not completely understanding what just happened. It took her a few months to get adjusted and not wanting to scratch poor Emma's face off. Now she is the best big sister. Emma was born on February 20, 2013. She weighed 7.8 pounds and measured 19.5 in long. She is perfect. </div>

2. My Brother Maverick got called to serve in the Provo, UT mission. My family met in St. George so that we could go through the temple with him. It was a great day. I can't even explain how amazing it is to watch some one grow spiritually. To see the progress they have made with in such a short time when they are committed to Lord and doing his work. He is truly such an example to me and I miss him so much. We did go to Provo for 4th of July and saw him in the parade! We were able to see him afterward for a short time and I had never seen anyone so happy. He literally couldn't stop smiling and he had a glow about him that kept you smiling too. It made me cry... He writes THE BEST letters. No body knew he was an amazing writer until he started writing us from his mission. It was the most organized, well written, funniest letters I have ever read. I look forward to each one, and can always count on getting a little nugget of gold from his words. He's so sweet and absolutely hilarious can you tell I really miss him :)</div>

<span style="background-color: white;">3. Emma's Baby Blessing was the same weekend as Maverick going into the temple so it was an event filled weekend! We also took some Chytraus family pictures. It was busy! We had Emma's blessing at four weeks after she was born. So in some of the pictures (most!) I'm so tired hah. Aaron did a great job blessing her we were able to record it on one of our phones. Technology is amazing. Sweet Emma is growing so fast in two months she will be ONE! Makes me so sad. </span></center>

5. We went to Maui in June with my family. As always it's never a disappointment! On the second day we were out playing golf and I ran over my phone with the golf cart... it was brand new, it didn't bother me... I was on vacation!! We had so much fun just soaking up the sun, enjoying the warm water, jumping off black rock (which I did too!), eating delicious food, getting a tan (no joke I looked like a ghost!), and spending time with family! Vera couldn't get enough of the water, I think her favorite part was Aaron helping her catch the waves, she laughed the whole time :) My favorite things we did was play golf of course, we got up real early like 3 or 4am and drove up Haleakala volcano to see the sunrise! It was about 10-30 seconds of the most vibrant and most beautiful sunrise I had ever seen! For me it was definitely worth the it! O! and we went spear fishing! It was HARD. I loved it but it was hard. By the end I couldn't believe how far out from the coast line we were and I would panic a little and then, well the only other thing to do was to put my head down in the water and start swimming for shore. I was also freezing at the end, which was weird because I was fine the whole time and then it hit me like a rock. I personally didn't get any fish because I'm pretty sure every one I went for was miraculously saved! no joke! And all the fish that taste the best are the fastest ones! The pretty fish are not ideal to eat and they are the easy ones to get, but no sense in trying to get a fish if it doesn't taste good! But in the end I didn't have to worry about getting some fresh sushi because other than than the photographer we were the only girls and the men didn't come home empty handed! We seem to be ending our family vacation in Maui by sealing it up with dinner and Mama's Fish House (Yumm) and the sunset is amazing and you will see our complete fail at a family picture :) Mahalo nui loa Dad and Joy for a great time!!!</center>

6. In the middle of August we decided to move to California for a job that Aaron accepted in San Ramon. We rented out our home and a few weeks later we were on our way. Aaron had training across the country and so we (the girls, George, and I) drove to Southern California and stayed with my mom for the month of September. Thanks mom for putting up with all the craziness :) Then we headed up to the bay area at the beginning of October and moved into our new home! We love the area, the community, and especially the people :) </div>
<div>
<br />
7. Halloween! Was crazy! Aaron was out of town... thank goodness some friends asked me to go with them or else it would have been harder to take care of Vera when she face planted walking up the stairs! Thank goodness for friends! We still had fun and Vera loved getting candy. She tried to eat the candy as it came, but it was coming so fast she couldn't keep up. And I didn't stop her because as soon as I put her to bed that night I gave the candy back to the kids coming to our door :)<br />

8. This Thanksgiving we spent at home. My family came out the weekend before and sadly we took no pictures but that's because we were busy having too much fun ;) ... Then Aaron's mom and her family came to eat turkey with us. It was my first time cooking for Thanksgiving and everything turned out perfect. But next year I will need to do a test run of a few recipes so I'm not worrying the whole time. I decided to cook my 14.5 lb. turkey for an hour and half at 500 degrees, no basting, no stuffing, just clean up the turkey set it on the rack. At the end of an hour and half I pulled it out and let it sit for about an hour. I was so worried because my meat thermometer broke! But when the moment of truth came it was perfect. It was juicy. And it was good. As I cut the turkey you could see it watering to be eat! I was so HAPPY!!! I also made a cornbread stuffing with mushrooms, linguisha, granny smith apples, etc... this was my favorite dish. We had ruth chris sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, cream corn. It was a feast. Thank goodness I just got a Costco pumpkin pie because we didn't even make it to that! I love to cook and I'm thankful for that love because I just love food so much haha...<br />

We got a PUPPY! His name is GEORGE! Yeah we're crazy... haha... We were actually supposed to get a puppy in December and had picked out the dog and everything and then 2 DAYS! before we were supposed to go pick him up they called us and told us they had to put our puppy down due to an incurable, painful disease :( Sooo the next litter wasn't available tell now! And that is the reason why we got a puppy and a new baby coming sometime this week within the same week! It seems crazy but it's really been good. He is probably the best puppy we could have gotten. He has yet to whine or cry and he is basically potty trained now. He hates his leash which has been fine, since when we take him on his walks he never leaves our side. He's very smart, but we are trying to teach him that Vera isn't another pup he can nip at and I think that has been the hardest part hah... Vera is so funny with him she loves to play too but when George does something she doesn't like she gets mad at him and yells NO NO! and then rambles on. He is going to be soooo big! We love him! Ooo and he is a German Shepherd...</center>

The first weekend in February we drove up to Provo to visit some friends and I threw a baby shower for this adorable babe. She is having a boy which Aaron and I couldn't be more excited about hahaha so that we can arrange one of our daughter's to their son. See the salad, sandwiches, and cupcakes... All to die for!! I have been craving one of those sandwiches since I left. We had a little photo booth action going on and everyone was so cute! I think we all had a great time and Ash got some awesome presents! Love you, can't wait for baby Chase!</center>

Sometime in the middle of January Vera and I took a quick weekend trip to California to meet up with my sister Chanel who was coming from AZ and to hang out with my mom. Of course it was the most perfect weathered weekend and every time I see these pictures I just miss this place even more. We spent our day at the beach and it was perfection. I think we could all agree that it couldn't have been better. At this point in my pregnancy I was 36 weeks, props to Chanel for taking some pretty good pictures of me. Thanks mom for having us for the weekend, we had a great time :)</center>

We also got to have a little reunion with our awesome friends that we used to live by in Newport...The Barker's left sunny California shortly before us to North Carolina and then us to Utah and The Garcia's are still enjoying the perfect weather :) We loved seeing each other again and seeing one another's kid. These are the first fruits for all of us and these are the first kiddos we really got to know and we consider them family! Makes us sad that as of now they can't play with each other everyday! Haha! But we loved seeing you guys and seeing Annie and Will I almost got teary eyed wishing you guys were closer for Aaron, Vera, and me! That must be the pregnancy emotional side haha. And of course when taking pictures with kids you can never get everyone looking at the same time!!</div>

And this year with the Attig's this is how 2012 ended/started...a DANCE party!! That was actually supposed to be a joke on Margaret. We told her that everyone had to do a 20 second dance routine and the joke was that she would go first and then everyone else WOULDN'T do a dance... We're badddddd! But can you believe it she did it!! Well then we started laughing and we couldn't help ourselves and we all started dancing in the living room and had a dance party! It was a lot of fun mostly because we're all really good dances ;) Bahhhahah that is a joke! Anyway, Happy New Year!!!</div>

My Mom and Bob came to visit us the weekend before Christmas and we had such a nice time. Usually we cook, but this time we decided we wanted to play more and go out to eat. BUT, my Mom did make some homemade hot coco for us and it was SOOOO good! In fact writing about it right now makes me crave it... that must be the pregnant brain craving it. We relaxed and played with Vera because she is just so entertaining these days and had a good time. We decided to go to dinner and since we have reached that stage of "dare to take your kid to dinner and be miserable" we opted to drop Vera off at her cousins and let her play with the kids so we could enjoy our dinner! We went to Gun Barrel Stek and Game it had quite the hunting atmosphere, and it was a fun place to go to. We had a nice and peaceful dinner and then went to go pick up Vera and as you can see I walk in and find the kids swinging her in Grandmas scarf... haha it was funny and she was loving it. I don't think I had ever seen her this energized as she was also running around and doing somersaults!! Yesssss... I tried to get a picture but my camera died! Boo! O well I'm just glad she didn't cause any trouble :) </div>

This is Vera in her Christmas dress that Grandma got for her, and Vera loved it! Vera loves dresses, if you're holding one and she see's it she wants to put it on no matter what. The hardest part is trying to get a picture of her cute dresses and getting them to be still for just a sec!! Thanks Mom and Bob for coming out to see us we loved having you guys!</center>

These salt water sandles are by far the best thing I have boughten for Vera. I bought her a tan pair at 7 months (I think) and they still fit her!! I told myself that I could use them for future kids too, but she has worn them so much that I will just have to get another pair. It was well worth every penny because I never had to worry about them falling off on their own or her being able to take them off. I will never by velcro, she ripped them off every time. </div>

Have I ever told you about my Baby Jogger - City Select Stroller?! Well it is another baby item I absolutely LOVE! It's light, smooth, easy to steer, great storage, and everything you could want in a stroller AND it turns into a double stroller! BAM BAM!! Now I just need to get the second seat haha. But, really I love this stroller so much so if you're in the market for one don't forget to check this baby out!</div>

The Moby Wrap... I never got a carrier with Vera but I'm thinking I might want to try this out. Anyone, tried it?! It has good reviews, and people seem to really like it. It's not as bulky as some other carriers, which I like because it looks like I could fold it up and through into my bag everything. </div>

What do we think of this glider??? We didn't have any room for this with Vera, but now they have a huge room and it would have been nice to have somewhere to sit and nurse other than my bed at night and I could put a really cute decorative pillow that would make it pop!</div>

You can bet I will be getting some of these pouches. We always joked with our friends that we needed to invent this, but someone beat us to it! I pureed most of Vera's food and it would have been really nice if we had these pouches to put the food inside, instead of spoon feeding her for every meal.</div>

Yep, I'm 30 weeks! Isn't that crazy! I feel sorta bad because with Vera I was so good at documenting most everything and with the second I haven't really done much. I mean, I still need to get her a baby book to write down all of the random things they ask you about or doctors appointments or the list of names we have gone through...thought it was the one and then decided no and picked out another name. Baby number two has probably had three/four names which we called her for a few weeks at a time until we thought of a new one. You probably won't like some of the names if not all of them because we pick random names that most people aren't crazy about. I mean nobody really liked Vera in my family, but it has grown on them now and find that it fits her perfectly! (I think)... We started with Gisele, then to Cora, and now Kennedy. We are still on Kennedy, Kennedy Attig??? Ahhhh I really don't know! I've played around with the name Bond, thinking it would be so cute if you asked a little girl what her name is and she said, "my name is Bond" in her cute little voice. Haha.<br />
<br />
This pregnancy, the biggest difference is I haven't exercised nearly as much as I did with Vera, yet this little girl is much more active then Vera was. I have BIG <span style="font-size: large;">BIG </span>plans for getting back into shape post baby, especially since we're going to Maui three months later :) I will post about that plan of action soon enough, mostly to hold my self accountable ;) Other than getting more and more uncomfortable and probably painting my toe nails for the last time since I can't bend over my stomach I'm doing pretty well. I have no real cravings other than baked goods, fruits, and veggies which is normal for me. I have a great Doctor who is sometimes a bit over conservative but is so understanding.<br />
<br />
The one thing I have learned to say to a Doctor is No. Some might not agree to say no to a doctors recommendations, but after countless ultrasounds that always came out positive and the bills to go with it, I learned to take a step back and think about it before just saying, "of course I'll have another ultra sound because I'm measuring small"... After going through one pregnancy I learned more about my body and how I carry the baby (which an old man said to me one day is in my back!). I said no to all the genetic testing and down syndrome testing too. They make you feel or tell you like you have to do it, but you don't. No matter what I'm having the baby and nothing will change that, so I thought why spend the money when nothing will change. And if you have a great Doctor that supports your decisions and has the same feelings/views as you it makes the world of difference and makes that line of communication even more clear :) And I'm not saying you should say no to everything!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12790974019777112413noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136469413758024682.post-32434639025612399292012-12-15T13:03:00.001-08:002012-12-15T13:03:11.377-08:00As of lately via Instagrammm<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I haven't been taking very many pictures on my camera because I always use my phone, but then I drove off with my phone on top of the car and never found it :( haha so now I haven't been taking pictures with my phone either which means I'm going to start using my camera again. I love this picture of Aaron and Vera dipping their cookies in milk it was so cute. Then while we were visiting my parents in Florida we went to go see Santa and I was expecting Vera to love Santa like she did last year, but nope she hated him and couldn't wait to get away from him. Santa then asked if I wanted to sit on his lap haha to see if that might help... it didn't haha. And the last picture is of Aaron and I out golfing with dad and brother this past weekend. It was nice weather and we had a lot of together :)</div>

We went to Florida for Thanksgiving and we had a lot of fun! I think the best part was taking Vera on the carousel in the quaint little downtown Saint Augustine. She loved it, and that's an understatement. She couldn't stop smiling the whole entire time we were there. Saint Augustine is the oldest city in the United States and it is a pretty little town along the cost of the Atlantic. The had decked out the whole downtown in Christmas lights and it was a lot of fun to walk/drive around and see the lights. We ate dinner at MOJO's which is a southern BBQ resturant and I'm pretty sure that I gained a few pounds after I was done eating. We also, played some golf while we were out there but unfortunately I don't have any pictures from that :( We had so much fun too! The time flew by, but that's what happens when you're having a good time! Thanks for having us Dad and Joy!!</center>

We went for a walk to the park and the picture I posted below I just posted because look at that lush green forest in the background! That is what I love about the east coast, there is so much vegetation and it greenery everywhere. Of course Vera had fun at the park. What little kid doesn't!</center>

Happy Halloween! We had a fun Halloween with Vera. It was really her first Halloween where she actually could dress up and walk door to door for a little bit of candy. At first she didn't understand why people were giving her sugar! But after the second door she no longer cared why she was getting candy. My grandma sent us this costume and it couldn't have been any better, it was so funny.</div>

I'm playing catch up so here is October! October was crazy because we bought a house!! (Pictures coming soon...) We moved in and it has been just chaos ever since with trying to do work on the house, etc... My dad came to visit and we for a walk around the Saint George Temple which it was beautiful. Vera had fun just walking around and playing with her toys on a blanket we had laid out.

And since it's October we HAD to go to a pumpkin patch! There were cows and all sorts of farm animals, Vera loved it. She is so funny I love the last picture, because that is typical Vera thinking she can pick up a pumpkin all on her own. It was so cute. Anyway, catching up is more about the pictures. </div>
