Yesterday my sister was at her friends house and the kids were playing outside. Zachary was at the end of his rope and he really needed a nap. Here my sister has just told him that he cannot bring this bike into her friends house. As he is moving into the wonderful toddler stages he sometimes has these fun but short outbursts. Today my mom and sister took him too a park nearby that has all these fun water features. As you can see Zachary had a big fall this morning in the kitchen. The evidence is in the large black egg on his head. Poor guy! Boys are so accident prone.

IT’S A BOY!
Cayden Edward Maguire
Sara's first born is named Zachary James Maguire... the middle name James is after her husband's father. So Cayden's middle name is after our father Edward. I am so excited for Zachary to have a little brother and if my daugther is anything like I was (full tom boy) then she wil love have two boy cousins to play with. Also, Sara is measuring pretty big so they moved her due date up one week to October 8th. I think there is a big chance she will have her son before my daughter enters this world:)

Christina's Visit
This weekend my sister-in-law Christina came for a visit and the San Diego weather was perfect! It has been raining for the past 10 days straight in Jackson Hole so the sunshine was a welcome change for her. We all had so much fun at the beach.
Gina, Juliana and Christina
Sofia really wanted to take her swim diaper off and ran around with it half off - I couldn't miss the picture opportunity.

(Pictured Juliana and Nonno Sam) That night we all had dinner over at my in-laws house and my mother-in-law cooked an amazing meal. It was so fun to be together. I don't mention it too often because I know many of my friends do not have the greatest in-law situations but I am so blessed. I can honestly tell you that I am crazy about them all. They treat me like blood and there is nothing that makes you feel better. But not only do they love me like there own we have fun together. I get excited when I know we are all going to hang out and I especially love that my nieces know me and we have a relationship.

Check out that Fish!
My husband went fishing in Oceanside today with his cousin Lance. This is a picture of Lance holding the first of many fish my hubby caught. Anyone who know's my husband knows that he loves loves loves to fish. When he was very little his family would got to Catalina and he would stay all day on the pier with the old men and fish. He has not had a whole lot of luck in the past couple years so this is incredibly fun for him. Tonight's dinner sure is going to be tasty!

22 weeks
So here are my pictures of me at 22 weeks. From pictures I have seen of other people I think I am already pretty big. It's amazing how much I have grow in the past couple of weeks. My stomach is super tight and I can tell things are really stretching out. She is sitting super low and moving and kicking all day long. I cannot believe in less than four months I will have a baby to call my own and care for.
