Shuuuzzzzzzzzzz Lot's and lot's of shuuuuuzzzzzz

and then some! Thanks Grandma!!!!!  

Amelia told Grandma she couldn't live without the Gynormeous panda bear!  So while I was looking at clothes next door, Amelia got a bear and came walking into the store with it!  Those two, you can't trust them alone.  I have a shopping buddy like that....Garth!  We are forbidden to shop together:)

Oh and when we got home, lit'l miss opened each box of shoes as if it was a gift!  Ooooo'n and ah'n.  As if she'd never seen them before, as if they'd never been slipped onto her feet...ok Cinderella.  Such the drama princess.  Oh and bear had to be there with her.  I wish I had taken a photo of her sitting in his lap, his arms draped over her shoulders, swaying back and forth as Daddy walked into the house.  "Look at my new buddy daddy.  We're best of friends."  I do love how she tends to Miss Bunny.  Offering her binkie, sippy cup or the best...lov'nz.  She's going to be a great big sister.  Tonight at dinner as we celebrated Auntie Sarah's job, Amelia showed off her big ole belly and then lifted up everybody else's shirts to see their belly's.  Indecent exposure party of 6!  Food was yummy!  If you're a local HB, you gotta go to Flight on Beach and Adams.  Half off menu items till 7pm.  Today was another great day!  Tomorrow, not so much.  I'm taking my 3 hour glucose test!!!!  Great, what can I do for 3 hours in a stink'n Quest bldg??  I'm going to plan the new decor for Ame's room, then they layout of the Master bedroom, then hit the guest room.  Doc said to relax and keep my feet up, but never said anything about my brain:) Babe, get ready to flex those muscles.  Monday I get to see another doctor about the good ole heart.  I had another odd feeling tonight.  As if it was clogged for a second then painfully shot something through something, leaving my heart pounding extra hard.  I also get to see my baby doc on Monday.  It's shot time!!!  Why'd I get funky blood?  Gee, getting poked and probed will be so exciting!  It's worth it though.  Gotta make sure this little one is growing safely in d'belly.  Better hit the hay!  xoxoxo

What a day we had!

We started off with a lovely walk in the park.  We met a lovely lady from France.  After a nap and lunch we headed to Fashion Island for some fun.  Daddy met us there!

Amelia couldn't get enough of water today.  She came home and needed to water her garden.  For some reason she put the hose to her ear.  Daddy made amazing burgers and zucunni.  Amelia ate it up!  We ended such a wonderful day with another walk in the park.  We are so blessed.

Miller was exhausted:)

Bachelor Party in the RV

Golfing and RV with some good friends also shot a 77

Girls Weekend

Daddy was at Vinnie's Bachelor Party this weekend, so the girls had some play time to themselves.  Jewels and Bubbley.  No, not shopping and drinking champagne:)  Amelia enjoys playing dress up with jewelry.  I think I've said it before, but she loves jewelry.  Another thing she got from her Great Grandma Inez.  Of course mommy refused to fold laundry:)  Grandma stayed both nights with us.  We woke up this morning and headed to Alice's for a fabulous breakfast.  Then we walked the park and found a blue balloon for Amelia to play with.  Amelia was avoiding her nap, so she had Grandma blowing bubbles until she was feeling a little wompy in the head.    Amelia came home from dinner with the Grandparents with Minnie Mouse balloon!!!!!!  Mickey Mouse balloon from Grandpa's b-day just deflate!  I thought I'd be free from feeling like someone was starring at me or seeing it's shadow in the corner of my eye.  Thanks Grandpa!!!!  Great weekend!  We missed Daddy and we're glad he's home safe!  As for Baby Hadj II, we are in week 28 and things are good.  There's a lot of activity in d'belly.  Sadly, I failed part of my tests last week, the glucose test.  It wasn't a huge fail, but they are cautioning on the safe side and wanting me to take the 3 hour test.  GREAT!!!!!  I have to do it before I get my Rogram (sp) shot next week!  Everything else passed with no problems.  I didn't realize you were suppose to fast before taking the test.  It only said not to eat/drink 2 hours before test.  I'm talking to Doc tomorrow.  My heart hasn't been feeling to swell the past few weeks, and my legs and feet get restless and tingle.  I was told to take it easy this weekend.  Drinking lots of water, Tylenol and feet up.  I did as much as I could, although while sitting on the couch while Amelia slept, I'd sit there re-arranging the dining room and master bedroom, as well as painting them in my head:) Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the mess I'm dealing with about our bathroom.  They installed the shower glass walls on Monday and during the final tightening, one wall blew up!  Seriously, it was pretty loud.  I ran in there and the guys were in shock and covered in glass.  It chipped the shower and new flooring, as well as the vanities and new drywall!!!!! I was so looking forward to showering with a shaving shelf!!!!!  The belly is kinda in the way:)  I also started the first leg of FALL!!!!!!  August has always been grapes and sunflowers for me.  Sadly I didn't get any Muled Wine scent from Illuminations before it closed down.  I have one left.  

Her finished product

I totally forgot we made Jello!  So we busted out the pan and finished.  Amelia took her decorating very seriously.  She totally mutilated the Jello.  It was fun watching her get so excited though!  OK, that's enough for tonight.  The ankles are throbbing. 

Wednesday night Sunset

Jack, Aubrey and Angela came down for the night.  We had a great afternoon hanging out at South Coast sniffing out the yummy smell of COOKIES!  Our noses led us straight to them!  Amelia discovered the Snicker Doodle and LOVES them!  Straty made an amazing NY Steak dinner sprinkled with our new Garlic Gray Sea Salt seasoning, corn on the cob and baked potato rubbed with our new Garlic seasoning rub.  Yes, we made a stop at Napa Style where James gave us some yummy delights.  Jack gave James a few tips for his next trip to Bakersfield.  He's just like his daddy!  I loved watching him chat it up with the store manager!  After dinner we raced to the beach to watch the sunset.  We forgot the hot chocolate.  It was incredible evening.  Amelia loves the time she has with her God Cousins:) Today we woke up and went to Alice's for breakfast.  Then fed the ducks and took a nature walk through Shipley's Nature Center.  Can you believe we let Aubrey be our tour guide again Jack!!!!  What were we thinking, a pond, with water in it:)  It was a bummer to watch them go.  I had so much I wanted to say to you my friend.  I think we're in for Labor Day!!!!!  When we put the chitlins down, I'll bring the Zin James had us taste and we'll sit by the fire.  xoxox.  Good Luck Jack in State!   

Tuesday night Sunset...

We took a quick trip to the beach to watch the sun set.  God is good!  We all loved watching the sun set and the moon rise, along with the airplanes or "Dairs" in Amelia's vocab.  Then we'd wave at them wishing them a great flight.  It was so refreshing!

Ameila making finger jello on Wednesday

Amelia was in rare form Wednesday.  She refused to put her clothes on after taking a dip in the pool.  She all of a sudden got the urge to run circles in the dining room and kitchen, then up and down the hall.  She just kept going and going.  Finally I came up with a way to keep her energy going into some fun for the both of us...

We made finger jell-O.  She loved stirring.  Don't worry it wasn't the boiling hot jello water.  She had fun stirring up nice cold water and splashing it all over the place.

Amelia got into Mommies make-up bag...

She loves to put on lotion, brush her hair and her teeth.  Such the purdy girl.
