My baby girl is turning 5!!

I seriously can't believe Keia is going to be 5. We celebrated her and Mattix's birthdays at Disneyland, since the baby will be born right between their birthdays. We had a great time- Mattix loved the Buzz Lightyear ride, but his favorite was driving his own car with daddy. My son is obsessed with cars- he has to take at least two cars to school everyday and he has to sleep with them at night. You usually won't see him without a car in his hand. He is really into being a boy- he loves to tell me things that boys do, like how he and daddy get to stand when they go potty and me and Keia don't. Keia loved getting her face painted, she also went on Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain with Matt- she told me she is only afraid of rattlesnakes (random), not roller coasters. I am doing pretty good- I have only 4 more weeks until our baby girl arrives- I wish I could tell you the name, but Matt and I can't seem to make a final decision- but I promise we won't leave the hospital signing her card as "baby". I am feeling pretty good still. I have only 2 more weeks of work and can't wait!!!! Maybe I will blog more when I stay home.... maybe =) Life is good in San Diego. The next time I write I will be a mommy of 3- CRAZY!!!!


Twins??

Before

After

Keia got her first manicure and pedicure for her birthday, and we went out and picked new earrings (that she loves to change twice a day!) I just love this "big" girl!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

It's a new year- yippeee! We had a great December. We went to my family's house for Christmas, then the next day we got together with Matt's family. I am feeling good, but need to detox from all the sweets I ate over the holidays! Here are some pics from December... I hope everyone has a fantastic new year.

Okay, I know everyone thinks their own kids are the cutest, but seriously I love these rascals... even my son who is discovering his "terrible twos".

We went to Balboa Park to see the lights- this is the ride my kids chose to ride together.
I think Mattix liked his lollipop

Santa brought Keia a "beautiful dress" that she asked for.

Keia took this picture... Matt and I celebrated our 8 year Anniversary... still love my boo!

Matt's awesome family.

Here I am at 6 and a half months =)

It's a....

Girl, don't you want to know!! Okay we really are having a little girl- and I am sooo excited!! So as most of you know I thought 100 percent we were having a boy- I was right with my first two- so I thought I was a total mind reader and knew what all my babies were going to be before the doctor told me- welp I was sooo wrong about this one! I gasped when the ultra sound lady told me it was a girl- she asked me, "Is that okay??" I began crying right away for a lot of reasons, but I have always felt that there was a little girl for us. I thought this was a little boy- which means we would have to go for four kids- even though Matt and I only want 3- so when she told me it was a girl- I knew she was the one who was meant to be with us and we are excited to bring her to our family. She is the final puzzle piece to the Huffman Family.
Keia was sooo excited to hear she was having a sister- here are her names for the baby: at first it was Polly (random???), then it was Kayla- I told her that was too close to her name, so she decided on Pretty- "so the baby will be pretty like me!" Should I be worried??
I keep asking Mattix what is in my tummy and now he says baby, but thank goodness he has no idea it is another sister.

Welp, that is all the exciting news for us- I am 21 weeks and going strong. We have no idea for a girls name, since I wasn't planning on it- we had the boy name all picked out!!! Any suggestions?? I prefer names that start with a M or K!!!

Post pictures next time... toodles.

Round 3

I'm never really sure how I feel about showing the pee stick, but hey I did it- I peed on that stick. We are going for round 3- our little babe will be joining the Huffman House in April- right between Keia and Mattix's birthdays. I am 14 weeks and finally feeling better- this little guy was a doozy. There will be no update until April as to what we are having because we are going to be surprised- but let me just state right here for the record- I think it is a boy.

Onto more things we have been up to... I turned 29 last month- my last year in the twenties- so craaazzy. Here is the cake my mom and kiddies made for me- it was by far the best gift I received!


My boo is turning 31 this next week so his fam came out to celebrate. We had a great time- Matt got to do his favs: golfing, surfing, then we went to see BYU play against SDSU. Here are some pics from our fun weekend- Happy Birthday Boo- you are officially entering the thirties!!! I am so proud of you- thanks for working so hard for our fam, but best of all you are an amazing dad and hubby. Love you!!

Huffman Update

Since I am not a very good blogster, I thought I would just update everyone on the Huffman Fam and put up some random pics of what we have been up to. It will be a year next month we have been in San Diego... so crazy!! Matt is doing really well at his job and things are starting to look up. I am still working at the preschool and just waiting to retire =) We love our weekends and time together as a fam and LOVE being back by the beach. Keia is doing well in her 4 year old class- she cries if her teacher even says her name in a disapproving way- she HATES getting in trouble. In fact the other day we were out to dinner and I was asking how her day was-she said, "It was okay, I did something wrong and I don't want to talk about it." Mmmmm... should I push this or respect that she doesn't want to talk about it, so we try some other creative ways of getting it out of her- but she just continued to say she wanted to stop talking about it. DAYS later I am telling some teachers at my school this story and Keia overheard me- she said, "MOM, don't tell them! The teacher told me to listen at circle time- okay!" So that was the big mystery, I guess I should be grateful that my daughter likes to be good, but does she have to talk to me like she is 12??? Mattix just keeps learning more and more- his teacher at school is awesome! He has been officially potty trained for over a month now- he was so easy- nothing like potty training Keia!!! He loves to inform us when something is "not funny". He cracks us up.
Anywho, we are all healthy and doing well- enjoy our random pics!

Keia went on a daddy date, Matt is brainwashing her to love golf... she actually really enjoys it!

Mattix in his "big boy" underwear, so cute!


Everytime my dad sees my kids, he brings these giant lollipops -EVERY TIME, the mean mother I am, I only let them take one bite!


Keia is now diving in the pool- so I thought I should get her some goggles (of course you can't get something for one of your kids and not the other). They wanted to sleep with their goggles for a couple of days- they wear them more around the house than in the pool!

We all went to Disneyland for Matt's sister and brother's birthday. Uncle Tomi spoiled all the girls with Mickey ears. That was a fun day!

We got to meet Elmo at Sea World!

Serious Fireworks

Happy Fourth America! We went to Vegas to spend the holiday with family- it was so much fun. The kids loved the sparklers and even the fireworks!! The other pictures are during June- do you like my monthly blogs??? I'll work on it...




Love this picture of Mattix, the kids all love Obachan (Ba Ba)























I took Keia to the Del Mar Fair with my sister and nephew. She charged the roller coaster- she seriously has no fear!! We had a lot of fun!




















This is Keia at her preschool- they were having their last party outside- she moved up to the four-year old room. I try to go visit her, but apparently she is too cool for mom to come see her... I didn't realize this would start so soon, maybe I should get a tatoo... tee hee.













Her great teachers- who she still talks about!

April & May Pics...

Mattix turned 2!! He is definitely a toddler now- we call him echo. He literally loves to copy every single thing anyone says and anything that his big sister does. He is a our little comedian- he loves laugh and make others laugh.
The best 2 things I love about this little boy are:

1. He is always making me laugh, whether he is meaning to or not- what a great quality to have!
2. He is my little snuggler- that kid loves to be close to you and be held (since birth), I will be sad when this goes away! I guess I could still hold him when he is 20- whatever he is into.

Here are some pictures from his second birthday on April 27. We took him mini-golfing (since he is obsessed with anything "ball"). Then we went to a restaurant to open his presents- it was a great day.



Matt's dream to have any of his kids be a pro golfer!

Just like daddy.




Yes, he put this sticker on himself, he must get his weirdness from Matt =)

Legoland was having a fundraiser and it only cost 15 bones to get in, so we were on top of that!! Keia still talks about that day!





Vegas Baby... we had a mini-family reunion in May with Matt's family in Vegas. It was such a fun weekend, Keia & Mattix loved playing with their cousins and grandparents. I had fun hanging with the girls and Matt got to golf 36 holes in one day...not my idea of fun!!!



LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PICTURE! thanks sista

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PICTURE TOO!
