A quick update

I have about a week and a half now before my due date!  I thought I should get all of my pictures uploaded before I have this baby. 

Little Paul has been going to the LA Galaxy Games since he was about 2 months old. However, all the games this season have been in the late evening and he has not been able to make it to any. He went to his first and probably only game this season a couple of weeks ago. It was a day game and he had a great time. Here are a couple of pictures from the game. 


A couple of weeks ago, we flew to Salt Lake City to attend Grandma Proctor's 90th birthday party. There were 70 family members present for the weekend and an additional 50 friends for the party. It was really nice to celebrate this special occasion with family and friends. 


Here is Little Paul in his first hot tub with his dad. Of course, his trucks also had to make an appearance. 

Here is Grandma Proctor giving a special speech to all of her guests. 

Here is Paul with his cousin, Brooklyn. They are so cute together. 

After the birthday celebration, we spent a couple more days with family. On Memorial Day, we went to A Day With Thomas. All the kids absolutely loved it. 


Here is Paul on the train ride waving good-bye. 

Here are the kids and Kristen with the train conductor. 

My sister-in-law and I are about 6 days apart in our pregnancies.  Here we are at 36 weeks. This is round two of cousins that will be about a week apart in age. Annie and Paul are 6 days apart. 

Here is a side view of our bellies.

We also got to spend some time at a local park.

It was sad to leave our family in Salt Lake. We had such a great time with them.

Here are some pictures from the Stake Fair last weekend.

Last week we had the chance to visit the Huntington Gardens again with the Covingtons. 

Here is Paul and Jocelyn playing together.

Paul loved running through the mist. 

Paul kissed Jocelyn on the lips about 6 times before we left. Here is a picture of one of the hot kisses. Jocelyn loved it! I don't know what Paul will do when his girlfriend moves away at the end of this month. Let me know if there are any eligible ladies out there. 

Stay tuned. My next post should be of our new arrival, Paige.

Busy Weeks

So, we've been pretty busy here these last few weeks. Here is a quick recap of what we have been up to. 

Paul and I took a trip to the California Science Museum and had a great time. Paul loved playing with the planes and trucks in the Discovery Room. He also loved the chicks. We were lucky to see a few that had just hatched. 





Here is Paul at Cal-Tech visiting the pond of turtles. 



A couple of weekends ago, Paul took Little Paul on a Father/Child camping trip at Big Sur. Paul's brother and daughter went as well as another good friend and son. They spent Saturday at the Monterey Aquarium and then camped out that night. Considering this was Little Paul's first camping trip, I think it went pretty well. He had a difficult time wanting to go to sleep but other than that he had a great time. They came home pretty smelly but I was just happy they were in one piece. 







This is Paul in the tent crying because he didn't want to go to sleep. 



Here is our trip to the L.A. Zoo the other day. Paul loved the giraffes. Part of the zoo was under construction and Paul spent about an hour looking through a hole in the tarp at the excavators and diggers. He also had a good time playing at the playground. 





Here is Paul at Travel Town. He loved riding the little train around the museum. However, he was a deathly afraid of the train conductor. I had to carry him on the train both times we rode it. 



The days we stayed around town were spent with Paul playing in the dirt with his trucks. Every morning he asks to go to the park and play with dirt. 



We were lucky to get tickets to the free day at Huntington Gardens. We spent the whole time in the Children's Garden playing in the water and running around. 




Last weekend we had our sister-in-law and her two kids in town. We spent two days at Disneyland and a day at Sea World. We also celebrated Mother's Day together as well as my birthday.

Happy 28th to me.

For my birthday this year, my list consisted of items I wanted for the new baby. However, my sweet husband decided to get something for me instead of something I wanted for the baby. He got me a maternity massage, spa manicure and spa pedicure.  I've only had one other professional massage and it was while I was pregnant with Paul. Let's just say it was great. I'm really excited to go redeem my gifts. 

I have 5 weeks left before Baby Paige is supposed to arrive. We are going to be in Salt Lake City for a week and then my goal is to take it easy until the baby arrives. I'm having a hard time slowing down. There is so much I want to do and get done before she comes. We are getting excited.
