Tada! Yes, it's true seeing is believing! I have updated the blog....FINALLY! I'm sorry but life has been just a bit busy lately chasing Bella, planning Matt's Greek-themed Surprise 30th Bday party, chasing Bella, preparing to host Thanksgiving, and all of those other little daily "things" that this old prego girl is trying to keep up with!! So.....sorrrrry bloggers! :)

I do at least get the chance to hop on and skim through all of the other so-cute blogs of my girlfriends and their daily lives....and can I just say that all of our little girls (and 2 boys) are just too flipping cute!! I'm happy to announce to those of you who have not heard it through the grapevine just yet, but we are having a boy!!! Brendan Burke and Chase Terrones are so happy to have another boy on the way since the girls ruled 2008! Matt and I had decided that we were not going to find out but Matt saw the "boy parts" right away in the ultrasound! hahaha So to say the least we are beyond excited that we will get to enjoy the pink and blue side of life :)
The baby is very healthy and growing rapidly...he is over 1 lb and is about a foot long now!! Everything is checking out wonderfully and I'm feeling great...very round....but great!!
Bella is growing faster than we can keep up with these days! She is walking almost all of the time now...except for when she really needs to turn on the turbo jets....she drops to her knees and the speed crawler is off!! We are loving her curiosity right now and everything is amazing to her. We put up our Christmas lights this weekend and when we turned them on for the first time her baby blues were like saucers! Just amazed!
We have begun to introduce the word baby and images of babies to her and she is cracking us up. Every time I feed her baby food she has to coo and kiss the baby on the Earth's Best Jar. We also bought her a baby that she totes around by its drawers and talks to all day long. We have also enrolled her in preschool which she is really enjoying and slowly getting used to the time away from Mommy. I think it was harder on me than her the first day of preschool....I cried for 2 hours :)
As you can see from the pictures....my wonderful husband turned 30!!! His Mom and I planned a Surprise 30th Greek-themed Birthday party...complete with Greek attire, dancing, Ouzo, and lots of plate breaking! Since Matt loved his days working at the Pink Palace in Greece....we had to bring back some memories of his younger days! We definitely surprised him and it was so wonderful getting everyone together to celebrate my favorite guy :)
I'm so sorry that I have taken so long to update the blog....there's almost too much that has gone on to get it all in one post!! All in all....life is good! We're all just happy as pie....hope you all had a wonderful holiday, we all have a lot to be thankful for!!!
Love to you all!!!

What is on my feet???!!!

Loving every minute of Halloween!


I apologize I have been terrible about updating the blog, we have been in party mode and busy busy busy!! But we've been having a blast for sure and Bella could not be more on sensory overload lately with all the costumes and things to look at! She is almost walking like a pro at this point, she can make it halfway across the living room by herself!! It is so absolutely adorable and she concentrates SO hard. We just wait to catch her!!

Not only did we attend Rylee Hordesky's 1st Birthday Party (so cute with a ladybug theme) and celebrated Beau's 5th Birthday at home, but our first party we planned in the last two weeks was a Surprise 60 th Birthday for my Mom! I planned a 1950s themed party where everyone had to dress up in true 1950s attire and we did our best to turn our home into a soda shoppe...we even had apple pie and root beer floats for dessert...so yummy. We definitely surprised her...amazingly....since she is over so much I figured she would figure it out, but she didn't and we got her!! Matt and I were Lucy and Ricky and Bella loved my vintage red housewife wig!

We also enjoyed Bella's 1st Halloween and we dressed her in a sweet little butterfly costume. She gets so excited around all of the other kids and just can't get enough of them. She is SUCH a social butterfly :)

Wish I had more time to update but I wanted to at least get all of the great pics we captured out to you all. Baby #2 is doing great...bumping away on my insides....and we have our next appointment on November 10th so we will update you with more news then!

We wanted to wish a special congrats to Carrie and Mike Terrones on their new beautiful little boy Chase Michael!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and love to you all!!
