Baby Shower

On Sunday, Margaret and Christine threw me a baby shower!

It was a blast. We had the cutest cupcakes with dragonflies on them and little rice krispie treats shaped as baby feet and hands! adorable! they decorated Grandma Judy's house all pink. I love it.

The food was great, the punch was amazing! The games were the best! madlibs and a candy game and the safety pin in the rice game. All were great laughs. They also had guests make a letter to Sophia about things they hope she learns and such! It was a great idea! Sophia got TONS of cute stuff. A special thanks to those who came and showed their love for us! and a HUGE thank you to Margaret and Christine. As well as Grandma for letting us use her house! Love you all!

House Hunting and it's crazyness

We are currently trying to buy a house in Vancouver. We fell in love with one but it had 9 offers above asking price already. I still have yet to let that go! lol. But, since then I have looked at a few prospects. Some are ok. Some are terrible. Today I finally found one I'm interested in. Now Bryan has to go look since he was working. But, in all the driving around, the bad ones made some totally hilarious pictures.

It's a girl!!

We had out ultrasound today! It's a girl! And everything they were worried about before is gone! So, I'm not 'high risk"! We let Jaxxon come this time. He was a bit confused, yet intrigued. He even got his own ultrasound pic of his baby sister with "hi Jaxxon" typed on it. He liked that! We are naming her Sophia Lillian (sophie for short). Bryan's ready to go buy his shotgun! haha

Been a while

So, it's been over a year since I have last come on here. So, there's a lot to add. Jaxx is 2.5 years old now. And very busy. He loves coloring and painting! He can't get enough of it. He loves playing outside, water, helping me do chores (which I love), watching movies, playing games and Lego's. He is still the calm laid back kid he always has been. His favorite word is NO. He thinks he is the boss most of the time and can be pretty mouthy and argumentative. He gets excited to see and play with his cousins. We are currently potty training, which has been pretty easy for the most part. As long as he's not too distracted. We recently went to the beach for a few days and he couldn't get enough of the sand and water! His favorite foods are hot dogs, fruit snacks, bananas, raspberries and Popsicles. He really wants a dog, we settled on a hamster, that unfortunately bites so we don't hold her. But, he's happy enough to watch her play in her cage and roll around the house in her ball. He likes to wear his rain boots and daddy's hats. His favorite movie is Toy story, but loves free willy and Santa clause 2. Loves little Einsteins and the backyardigans. He just learned the song 'I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee" and we can't get enough of him doing the gestures, it's so cute.

As for Bryan and I, married life is pretty much the same as life before. We are doing well and are 5 months into another pregnancy. The baby is due on Christmas. Our last ultrasound it looked like a girl but it wouldn't open it's legs for us to get a better peak. If it is a girl her name will be Sophia Lillian Phares. If it's a boy, well that's up to Bryan. Jaxx was very resistant to the idea at first but now he's warming up to it. He rubs my belly and kisses it before he turns around and pinches it really hard. I still work at Costco, mornings stocking and folding clothing. Bryan's at a place called PAC paper. We are currently looking into buying a house. something closer to Vancouver, even though we love La Center. We want to be closer to everyone and everything. That pretty much sums everything up off the top of my head :)
