remembering.

This is Felix today. I am being reminded of the stomach issues that little babies have for the first four months. I am hoping little Felix will get them all worked out quickly :) He is a little backwards with night time and day and I would love to work that out! But, he has been a lot of fun. It is hard to believe he has only been around for a little over a week. It seems like he has always been here. I am so happy to have him in our family!

new brother.

Zoey is getting used to her new brother. This face pretty much sums up how she has been feeling. It has taken a little more adjusting than I thought it would, but she is warming up to the idea of him being a permanent fixture in our home. I am excited for them to be able to play together one day.

Felix Steele Warner

He has finally arrived!

happy birthday mikey.

We celebrated Mikes 32nd birthday yesterday. We had a fun party with friends and at all things costco because it tastes better than my cooking! I had fun doing the decorating instead. It might have been a little girly. Poor Felix might end up looking like a girl because I have no idea how to decorate in a masculine way I have learned.

Details. Found the party favor idea here and the paper flower idea here.

And zoey is just too cute to leave out. She loved saying happy birthday to dad!

on the mend.

This picture is from earlier this week showing what Zoey felt like. Thank goodness she is feeling better! We took her to church yesterday thinking we could just hide her away in the corner for sacrament and then split and it was harder than I thought. As soon as we sat down I realized we sat right in front of one of her buddies and she wanted to play. We did our best to keep her from making contact. I am praying Harrison does not catch her bug!!

And I am beyond ready for this guy to come out and play!

the pits.

This week has been full of cleaning up gross things (with mike doing most of the worst parts). Poor little Zoey has been so sick. Thankfully she has still been cheerful. She just wants to watch shows all day. Mike and I got the bug too, but are not feeling it like her. I am hoping she will be back to normal by tomorrow so she can eat some real food. I think her cute little tummy is disappearing!

coloring.

This is what we are doing today.

busy month.

We have had a busy month full of visitors and fun. We finally got to meet up with my friend Jaime and her little girl Shelby at Disneyland and Zoey had a great time with them. She loves being around other children.

Brooke came in town for a weekend visit and we made our way to the Getty, Hollywood, and down to the Pier.

We had a great time celebrating Jade's first birthday.

Next, we had a great Memorial Day spent at the beach with friends. Zoey loves the beach now. She wanted mike to take her all the way in the water. She was not as excited about the water after he did, but she spent the rest of the time filling her bucket with sand and playing with her beach ball. Afterwards, we had a delicious frozen yogurt treat.

This past week was spent with my sister Kim and three of her kids, Tatum, Gavin and Aftin, Zoey could not get enough of them. She was so excited to have them around and they were so great with her.

We also celebrated National Donut Day with a free Krispy Kreme donut.

I was sad to see them go because my traveling will be limited for the next while due to my upcoming delivery. I am still about two months out, but this baby is sucking the life out of me! I don't remember ever being this tired with Zoey. Lucky for me, zoey has become an excellent napper so I get to have 2 breaks a day.

I am looking forward to another fun weekend with Mike and Zoey. Today we get to go to another birthday party and a ward pine wood derby night!

disneyland fun.

Zoey decided she loves disneyland now. She had a great time running around, dancing and going on rides with a few friends. She is always happy to be around kids! She calls them all Baby.

back east.

Mike, Zoey and I got to go to Virginia for a week and we had a great time. Zoey did pretty well on her flights minus 2 exhaustion screaming episodes. One on the way there and one on the way back. The second one was far worse than the first. All in all she did pretty well.

We spent the first few days hanging out with Mikes parents and his sister Megan came into town as well. We had a great time. We then got to go to Philadelphia for a couple days with everyone and Megan showed us the sights.

I had no idea there was so much to see there. It was really fun. My favorite place should have been some historical monument, but instead it was a huge market full of everything delicious. Needless to say I left with a lot of candy! Mike even got some Amish guy to make him a pastrami, egg and cheese sandwich (something not on his menu), by pouting until he would make it anyway. The guy told him if he got some pastrami from the butcher next door he would do it. So Mike of corse ran to the butcher to get pastrami. This sort of behavior is what makes me less excited to cook for him. He wants what he wants. (All in good fun Mike :) ).

We spent another day around Manassas when we returned from Pennsylvania and visited Mikes grandma

and went to the Air and Space museum.

The next two days we spent some time celebrating my brothers graduation from Howard Dental school! I am so proud of him!

Side note: Most ridiculous picture ever taken!

We went to a delicious dinner spot afterwards

and spent the next day at Mount Vernon, which was really amazing to see.

I was happy to have a week of vacation and to spend time with family! I am looking forward to our new little adventure of a second child in the near future.

felix.

We got to go in for an extra ultrasound and they gave us these 3D images. It is kind of amazing to see what the little (or I should say BIG) guy looks like already. He is apparently very large, measuring at 30 weeks when I am only 27 weeks. I let my doctor know I would like to be induced before he gets too big! He is not sharing the same small factor Zoey had. I am so excited to meet him! I think he looks a lot like Zoey.

3:46 am.

I have been up since 1am and I am going CRAZY! I am so tired! Pregnancy is awesome.

So I am looking at blogs and finding all sorts of cool crafts I could be creating. Too bad I am too tired to do any of them. I came across this gem that I had forgotten about. We might be hard to recognize as we have gained a few pounds over the past couple years, but this is Me and Mike on our wedding day. I love looking at wedding sites. I would love to be a wedding planner. If only brides were pleasant to be around.

My favorite site is Southern Weddings Magazine

project complete.

May of 09 I said I wanted to make this and yesterday the project was finally complete.

obsessed.

I can't get enough of this song. Ever.

And this one is awesome too. I have spent far too much time listening to music lately.

fat camp.

I got this bad boy last night. Mike set it up and I am excited to put it to use! It will only be walked on until the baby arrives, but I am looking forward to getting back into shape! Walking/running twice a week is no longer cutting it.

some more.

I love Stars and Junior Boys so I was happy to hear this song. Love it!

baby boy fabrics.

I was excited to find fabrics that will work for our new baby boy that will also work with Zoey's fabrics since they will be sharing a room for a while. I love Heather Bailey's stuff! Oh.. and we are thinking of naming our new little one Felix. The name gets cuter every day. So it will be Felix Steele Warner or Felix Michael Warner. Still undecided.

mellow day.

shoes.

Must have! These shoes are so awesome! I only wish they cost a few dollars less.

They can be found HERE.

easter.

I love easter sunday! It was especially great to watch conference and be reminded of what easter is all about. We started our day with some fabulous easter baskets. Mike supplied me with 32 cadburry eggs! What could be better?!

Played with Zoey's new bubble gun

and then enjoyed an awesome easter dinner at our friends the Frandsens.

We also played a easter egg game where Mike was dominating until he and I had a face off. I of corse won.

Great easter!

music.

I have always loved listening to good music. For some reason the last year and a half I lost interest in listening to music at all and then all of the sudden the love is back. I guess I have been a little preoccupied, but kind of strange non the less. Zoey loves listening to music and I love to watch her dance. She has some pretty great moves. I need to catch it on video one of these days. I love the French Kicks and I am loving their newest album today.

song of the day.

32.

March 23rd was my birthday and Mike and Zoey planed an awesome day for me. I got to get a lot of my favorite foods; donuts from Santa Monica donuts, Cadbury eggs, pancakes, Cafe Rio, Wahoo's tacos and key lime cupcakes. I even got some awesome gifts. My favorite part of the day was being able to spend time with my two favorite people! 

utah.

We got to go to Utah last week to celebrate this cute little guys baby blessing. 

Wilson Franklin Jones (my little sisters baby)

We had a great time spending time with family and friends. We spent some time visiting Mikes Grandparents and I got to see a bunch of my great friends that I miss! I wish I lived closer to all of them! We ate a ton of great food and even went to a chocolate factory. 

We could not miss a chance to go to brunch at Sundance and were lucky enough to go with Dan and Elise and their family. We love spending time with them when we go to Utah. Zoey had a great time playing with Madeline. It looks like it will be some time before we get to go again, but hopefully not too long. 

dreaming.

Could I have this house please.
