Dear Little Bean,
This was an exciting week for us. We found out you were a boy this week...we are so excited! We also had a big Memorial Day Party and revealed your gender in a cake that we had made...everyone was so suprised (especially your Nana). Your brother and sister are so excited....You are such a lucky boy and have so much love around you! We love you!
Love, Mama

BOY!!!
We had a Memorial Day Party on Saturday and had a cake made to reveal the news to all of our friends and family....It was a surprise to all of us as we did not even know. I have to say, I was completely surprised as I thought for sure I was having a girl. I get to be the mother of yet another crazy, wild boy...but honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way! He'll have a brother to show him how to play with cars, fight with light sabers and shoot pretend guns and a a sister to show him how to be a gentleman...what a lucky boy!
A Boy or Girl?
I will reveal the news tomorrow....
Last Wednesday my daughters Kindergarten class took a field trip to a local farm in our area. It was called the Natural Trading Company. It was by far one of the coolest field trips I have ever been on and a very neat farm too.
"The Natural Trading Company farm is 40 beautiful acres in Newcastle Ca. It sits at about 400 ft elevation, a perfect growing climate for so many things. They grow a diverse selection of vegetables and fruit, raise pastured hens to supply you with eggs, and a large greenhouse to supply the community with wheatgrass, pea shoots and sunflower greens. They offer their harvest at year round farmers markets and through their community supported agriculture program, CSA."
The kids got to see baby pigs, turkeys, ducks, baby goats and all of the wonderful things growing from the ground. We even got to take a visit into their green house where we were able to taste sunflower sprouts and little tomatoes...which were SO good!
To learn more about the farm, their CSA program and when and where they will be at the local Farmers Markets, visit their website here.
Dear Little Bean,
You are the size of a lemon this week. It is exciting for your brother and sister to ask me each week how big you are, so I try to always give them an example of something they know. Your big brother still thinks there are two of you in there and he has even named "the two of you" in there...a boy and a girl...Jack and Rosie. I hope he is not too dissapointed that there is just one of you when you make your arrival. We love you so much and your big sister gives you a big kiss every morning before walking to school...she can't wait to meet you!
All the love in the world,
Mama

I'm loving this cute ensemble...pregnant or not, you can wear it! I am dying over mint green jeans these days. asos.com had some mint green maternity jeans, but unfortunately, they were all sold out...so, I picked myself up a pair at Anthropologie and got them two sizes up from my normal size so that I can wear them for a while during my pregnancy and afterwords. Then pair it with your favorite long gray t-shirt, some comfy Toms (my favorite) and some accessories and your set! By the way, I own those Warby Parker eye glasses and absolutely LOVE them! I don't know if it's bad to start carrying around a diaper bag before you have your baby, but hey, I've got two kiddos already who require lots of "stuff" so why not?
We got to hear your heartbeat this week which was so exciting for all of us. It was a good, strong heartbeat and your big brother wishes he could hear it again. Mothers Day was this past weekend and your daddy spoiled me so much...I am a lucky mommy and wife! This week I have been eating lots of avacado sandwiches...I hope you are enjoying them! We love you so much and your big sister and brother already have big plans for you little one!
All the love in the world,
Mama

This past weekend we celebrated my daughters 6th birthday. She wanted a cowgirl party, so we came up with a vintage country party. We did facepainting (Savanna had hers painted 6 different times with something new everytime), gunny sack races and pin the tail on the donkey. Since it was Cinco de Mayo we had mexican food instead of BBQ..it was delicious and overall, the kids had an absolute blast!! She can't wait to do it again next year!!!
I did a little family session the other day for my good friends...it was fun...I love this little family!
