Mommy I'm a fish!

The title of this post is what Sabrina said to me this morning.  This has been the summer of the pool. I don't think I've been in the water this much since I was a teenager. We've had a great summer so far. Sabrina loves loves LOVES the water. Anything about the pool. She can go swimming everyday. I haven't seen her get tired of it yet. At the beginning Sabrina would hold onto me and wouldn't let go. Over time she has gotten more and more brave so I bought her a swim vest. Now she swims all over the pool and loves putting her head in the water and just going! She goes around all day saying "Swimming! Swimming! I wanna go swimming!!! Swimsuit! Swim diaper! Swim vest!!" She can be in the pool for over a hour and a half and she's still going strong.

Cousin Michelle's bridal shower

At the end of June we drove down to L.A. to help celebrate our cousin Michelle's bridal shower. She is getting married on August 15th. I am a bridesmaid and Sabrina is going to be a flower girl with her cousin (Michelle's niece) Hannah. Jerry is going to walk the two girls down the aisle. We would love it if they held hands and could walk themselves, but since Sabrina is two and Hannah is one that's doubtful, so Jerry is going to help.


The bridal shower was held at a country club and it was so lovely. It was hosted by my mom (Michelle's aunt, her mom and my mom are sisters) and two more of Michelle's aunts on her dad's side. They did a wonderful job. And the presents! Michelle definitely made out :). Now she's got to learn how to cook with all her fabulous new gadgets! Jerry bought Sabrina towards the end of the party, but in time for delicious cupcakes. Which as you can see she thoroughly enjoyed.

What we do during the day

Sabrina is a very busy girl. She needs something to do everyday, usually twice a day! One thing we do every week is library storytime. Sabrina loves Miss Nancy. It's a combination of stories, nursery rhymes and songs. Sabrina really digs it. We started going to storytime for the 2-3 year olds and sometimes they have an activity after storytime is over. This day we made fish hats. Sabrina colored and put stickers strategically on the fish and I stapled it all together. She was really proud of her hat! Later that day she proudly pulled it all apart. Oh well, she is only two. She still asks about her fish hat, and I tell her "you ripped it apart, remember?" and she says "oh yeah..."




                           Here we are with our friends Henry, Bettie & Quade at Lincoln Glen park in Willow Glen. Going to the park is always more fun with friends! Lincoln Glen is a great park to go to during the summer because they have two water areas, great on hot days.

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you...

 Here's the video of everyone singing Happy Birthday to Sabrina.  It's pretty cute.

Back and pregnant! (and no longer sick as a dog)

So it's been awhile since my last post...coincidentally, I became pregnant right around the time I stopped posting on my blog, probably because I was sick as a dog for over two months! Blech. But I'm feeling much better and want to get back into the swing of things. We found out we're having another girl and I'm due Nov 22nd. Exciting times!

Here is a photo from Sabrina's 2nd birthday party. We had it at Pump It Up Jr in Sunnyvale. They have a bunch of inflatables, like slides, a bounce house and two obstacle courses. After the kids were done bouncing around we served pizza, chips, juice and of course birthday cake! When we started singing "Happy Birthday" Sabrina's face just lit up. I almost cried. A super great time.
