Another Busy Weekend!

Spring Training Time- Mike was getting Giada in the baseball spirit!
Go Giants! Go Twins!


Last week we had to be out of the house due to the bathroom remodel, so we spent time running errands and having lunch with friends.

Stacy and Gemma were in town from Tahoe, it was great to see them at catch up. I was very impressed with Gemma, she had a great memory and was so polite, with great manners. Nice work Stace!

Friday Night we attended a lingerie shower, no photos but it was a good time, the bride seemed to enjoy herself!

Saturday we were off to Roseville for Christie and JJ's Bridal Shower. It was great to see Dub and visit with KC on the ride there and back. We also saw Tracy there- she looks great, and seems ready to have baby Trenton out! Trace- we will be waiting for those room photos to be sent, it sounded amazing!



Sunday Nicole and I had a nice long visit with Lauren. We hadnt seen her in quite awhile, it was so fun for her to come over for a visit, now we owe her a trip to SF.

Sunday night my mom cooked me corned beef, one of my favorites since she will be out of town this week. Thanks mom!

Playing with Pops


Baby B is here! Marc and Renee had their baby on Sunday. He weighed 6 lbs. 10 oz. and was 19.25 inches long. We hear they are doing great, and still deciding on a name, they've narrowed it down to 4.


I love to stick out my tongue.


Oh...and Hilder tried to change her 1st diaper alone this week! She was missing for a long time when Summer went to check on her and capture the moment. Apparently she used about 55 wipes....and Giada doesnt look too happy, but she survived!

Busy Weekend!

Peyton Lynn Diehl arrived on Friday March 6th - 7lbs, 4 oz. 19inches.
Bre ended up finding out at the last minute that she was breech, and had to have a C section, but they are both doing great and she is home now. My photos are not the best but when I get more I'll add them to the blog. She is beautiful, so delicate and has a FULL head of thick black hair. Hard to believe Giada was that small since she is so big now. So funny when she came out she had her legs straight out. One still sticks out, no wonder Bre had all that pain in her rib, she had been kicking her for months.




Friday was also my moms birthday. We had a fondue party at our house to celebrate the big 5-9. I hope to look as good as my mom when I'm that age. But all my mom really wanted for her birthday was to see Giada, we are chopped liver to her now. ;)
We got her a new camera so she can capture the moment when ever she wants.


Stephs new hair cut- only she could pull it off!


Friday was also Summer's - "lay off party" She tried to make light of not so good situation by having many cocktails and wearing some funky outfits. After the bday party we headed over for a quick visit.



In costume which TV character do you think Melissa looks like....anyone???


This week I also got signed off to run again- whoo hoo! It's slow going and I'm super sore, but to run and have a good sweat felt great. 2 miles Sat, 3 miles Sun....and now training for a half marathon in May. I'm a dork and made Mike take a photo of us in the running stoller. You feel very "momish" running around town in a stroller, but Giada didnt seem to mind it too much.




Sunday we also had breakfast with the Bush's. Renee is having her baby Sunday. Good Luck Renee, you will do great, keep us posted!!!

And, so fun this week she smiled(without pooping) BIG milestone and so much fun to make her smile!



Last but not least...this week we are finally remodeling our master bathroom. Should only take a couple weeks. I'll post before and afters.

Almost 6 weeks

Finally photos from Bre's shower, sorry it took so long to get them on here. Bre is looking great of course, and is due this Thursday. She is finally off work so she can relax. Peyton will be here in no time! And I'm glad to have a friend off to visit with while I'm still off of work.




Hooter hider -I feel like a cow and spend SO much time using this thing!





Hard to believe Giada is almost 6 weeks old, time flies and now she is looking much bigger to me. We had another busy week as usual and our first out of town trip.





Tummy Time!


Weekend in Sonoma!
This weekend we traveled to Sonoma with Mikes family. Gina and Scott were in town to celebrate Ginas birthday and we attended an Olive Oil Annual Meeting. I thought we would get some great family photos while we were there but that didn't work out. We did get one good one with Mikes mom and Giada. She slept the whole way there and back, which I was nervous about. She doesn't love the car just yet. And she was really pretty great all weekend we were away.



This week we are starting a bathroom remodel on our master bath. We haven't used our shower in over a year - we have been putting it off and using the spare so it will be nice to have this project completed. I'll post photos soon.

One Month Old

Hard to believe that she is one month old already!
Sunday was the day and she seems much bigger already as I look at her photos from the hospital. Everyone was right time goes by quickly.

Not even sure what we did last week. Did have lunch with everyone from my work, so that was nice to see them all and catch up on the clients and just their lives in general. I worked there for 5 years so I feel out of touch since being gone.

Thursday we had dinner at Hilder and Linny's it was yummy and nice to visit with all the girls.

This weekend we had many dinners with friends, it was nice to visit and catch up. We even made fondue on Sat night, it was SO yummy and I will say rivaled the Melting Pot.


Finally we got a photo with Dylan and Nicole!


I'm still unsure of those baths!

I love my bouncer and sleep in it daily


I love to sit in my swing while mom takes a shower.


We do this a lot!


We also had some changes to the nursery. Kristen and Jason built us a beautiful toy chest, so we moved that under the window and the chair under the lanterns. We also started hanging photos above the crib. (good idea sum)

Hilders Bday/Valentines Day

Well another week blew by rather quickly.

Lunch this week with the Palmer Girls, it was nice to hear all about what was happening at work. I have felt out of the loop on that stuff. Of course they are taking care of my clients just fine, but its fun to get the updates and catch up with the girls. Plus, I hadnt had my fix of Sanitagos lately- it was yummy.

Hilders bday is on Valentines Day and since she'd be off in Lake Almanor with the boy toy, we had dinner earlier in the week. Happy Birthday Hilder!

Auntie Linny and Sum at Mikuni


Hilder spinning the sushi wheel - she won a pint glass


This week we had lots of visitors, Kristen, Linny and Sum on Friday afternoon it was nice to catch up. And Timmer and Chris stopped by on their way through town to meet Giada. It was great to see them, Timmer looks like a natural holding a baby ;)

Saturday Mike spoiled me for Valentines Day. We started a few years back having him make me a nice dinner instead of going out. This year was just different it being on a weekend I was home the whole time. It was nice to help out and the dinner was yummy as always, Mikes a great cook. He also gave me a homemade facial and massage, it was a treat and I was so surprised. Major points for him this weekend. I took a photo of the table, since it was funny to see the bouncer on the table and try to plan the dinner when she was sleeping. It worked out well, she slept all through dinner! This was the first time trying a headband, looks more like a sweatband!







All the grandparents stopped by to see see us for Valentines Day (But we know they really only come to see Giada!) ;) I forgot to take a photo of my mom(Nana) when she was over, but got some of Nona and Nono!




As if trying to do the blog while she is nursing, and type with one hand is not hard enough, I just got peed on, leg is soaking wet...these newborn diapers just arent small enough! This means the blog will be cut short....until next week. ;)

Almost 3 weeks!

Well time goes by very quickly these days!
Not sure what I do all day but before I know it, its 5pm and Mike is home!

Last week she had her 2 week appt, and all is well. She has grown an inch and is up past her birth weight which was the goal! So I guess she is getting enough to eat which is reassuring. She is pretty active when she is awake kicking her arms and legs all around. For the most part a very good baby,and doesnt mind being passed around to everyone to hold her. Sometimes she doesnt love the car ride, but I think its when she has needed something.

Left her with my mom for a couple hours on Friday- to go have lunch with the girls. It was a little weird, but felt okay. I think because I was only going to be gone for a short time.

Saturday we had a baby shower for Bre Diehl, she is due in less than a month, the countdown is on. Kristen took all the photos that day so I dont have any to share yet, Ill post when I get them from her. We all cant wait to meet Peyton in March!

Saturday night we went to a crab feed. I love crab feeds and was so glad I could finally eat some this time. Giada was great and slept most of the time we were there.

Here are some random pics from this past week.
We tried to take a family photo, but not everyone was cooperating!


This is the Maclaggan family outfit photo. Every grandchild on my moms side, and now great grandchildren have been photographed in this outfit. Grandma would be proud!


This photo I took of her napping in her crib to remind me that she CAN sleep in there at night. At night she never wants to be laid down, but during the day she will...we can't figure it out. :)

And..last but not least we thought this was funny. Uncle Scotts shoe is almost the same size as Giada...I think its a size 14- Big foot!
