Brother or Sister?!?!?

See if you can figure out what we're having from this confusing video...you'll see Cate didn't get the answer she was hoping for from the ultrasound tech! But we're all still super excited! :)

Cate's New Bike!

Cate finally got a bike...she's been talking about it for months. We got her this cool Hot Wheels...which is a little bit too big right now, but she still loves it! :)


We find out what baby #2 is tomorrow morning...check back for the big news! Cate and I also take a plane to NH tomorrow - yea! Nate will be coming out a week later. Can't wait to see our family.

Nate and I had a fun anniversary on Friday...8 years! I have some pictures, but I'm busy packing, so will post later. Thanks to my mom for hooking us up with a sweet hotel room at the La Jolla Hyatt - it was great!

New Camera & Lens

So, a few months ago I got a Digital SLR camera...I also got a lens for low light, close-up situations. It's been great for the pictures on my food blog, but yesterday I got these super sweet pictures of Cate - and I wasn't even using a tripod - crazy!

Cate Fun

Here are some random cute Cate shots. :)



This is classic cate...biss (blankie) and thumpah (rabbit) in tow at all times. sometimes nikki the cat is in the place of thumper. thumper and nikki have DEFINITELY stolen debbie the doll's place in cate's life.


cate is obsessed with peaches. obsessed.


cate's hair is getting SO LONG, but you can never tell because it is SO CURLY. last night when I was brushing it out I was surprised how long it is.


I couldn't help but notice, I think curious george has a five o-clock shadow. cate's "friends" (her myriad of stuffed animals) all need a BATH.

Happy 4th of July!

The 4th of July was lots of fun - we had Nate with us ALL DAY, which is always great. We went to a pancake breakfast at church in the morning, where Cate was pretty much a basket case the whole time. After her nap, she was happy finally! We had a yummy cookout at home then headed down to the Padres game. Cate's first major sporting event! She had a good time - there ended up being lots of empty seats around us for her to sit on, and we were in the bleacher section with "the beach" - a big sandy area right next to outfield where the kids can play. It was perfect! We headed on down towards the harbor after to try to catch fireworks...not much wind, so the smoke made it hard to see them, however the sounds echoing off all the buildings downtown were so cool and cate LOVED the fireworks - the colors, the noise, and especially the big ones! Cate didn't go to bed until after 10 and slept until 11 the next day! Here are some pictures from the day:



Cate at her first MLB game!




We went to the game with the Christensens and the Matters - Cate was always making sure Jack wasn't wandering off and bossing him around a lot. It was so funny.


The cool dads...


Cate's favorite line of the night, "Come back, Jack!"


I don't think Cate and Jack caught much of the game from their backwards seats...they seriously were so cute. Gotta say, don't think Marianne, Nikki or I caught much of the game either. :)
