Kisses for my Belly

Oakley has been so cute with me being pregnant. Whenever she mentions us now she says "Cristina, Trevor and BABY TOO!" I love it. If I ever have a blanket covering my belly, she'll pull it down and pat my tummy and say "baby", usually followed by a kiss :) She knew we were having a girl from day one too-- we'd ask her over and over what we were having (before we knew) and every single time she'd say "a giiiirl!" I can't wait for all the girl cousins to get together and play :)

This past weekend, we hung out in Saratoga Springs at Steph and Rick's cute new place and hit up Texas Roadhouse for dinner. Trevor took over the peanut bucket and ate a bajillion of them (that's okay though cuz I ate his share in rolls).

We went to Kid-to-Kid right by the restaurant, and I think that's gonna be my new favorite place to shop. Steph bought Oakley a book there for like $2 and it didn't even look read before. So exciting :) At the moment, I like shopping for my baby girl way more than shopping for myself. (Look how cute Steph, Rick and Oakley are reading together! I'm so excited to see their new little girl added into the mix)

Wheeler Farm

We all headed up to Wheeler Farm (in Murray). It was so cute! It's free to go in and walk around, so we looked at all the animals, checked out the boutique sale goin on, and ended the day with a picnic.

Of course our day wouldn't be complete without watching Oakley ride the pony :) We'd be looking at the animals, and I'd say "Oaks look at the pig!" (or sheep or cow or whatever) and she'd say "Mmhmm, ride the pony?" Haha

Little kids LOVE Max. They think he's a puppy, and since he's so small, they're not scared of him. While we were having our picnic, a bunch of kids came up and wanted to play with Max-- it was so cute to watch Trevor with them. He was so patient and let all the kids have a turn throwing the ball back and forth for Max. (Check our Max's "please help me" face. hahaha)

We all headed back to the Sanford parents house and took naps on the couches afterwards. When we were all rested again, we headed up to the park and played baci ball and watched Oakley go down the slide a million times :) We wanted to be outside as long as we could while it was sunny! It was so nice all day. Today and tomorrow are supposed to be just as nice and then it's gonna rain all week, ugh. BUT then Trev and I are off to our cruise on Sunday, yay!!

Easter

We headed up to Herriman for Easter dinner. Momma Sanford made her ever-so-yummy potato salad (and ham) and we all contributed to the meal as well (Steph made homemade rolls, Evan and Nicole made raspberry jello salad, and I made lemon bars for dessert). 

Trevor went into a food coma afterwards, while the food had the opposite effect on Oakley...

We had a good time hangin out with the fam, as always :)

Festival of Colors

We've always heard about the Festival of Colors but have never gone, so this year we decided to see what it was all about :) It's a celebration of the passing of winter, and the start of spring-- so it's a festival where everyone throws colored chalk on each other to show the spring colors. It was so much fun!

There were thousands of people there so we had to park really far away and walk. We did make it there eventually, but I'm not quite sure if we took the right route cuz we ended up walking through some random junkyard...

We didn't make it in time for the initial throwing of colors all at once-- but it was cool to see the cloud of colors from the distance!

We had fun walking around the Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple, listening to the band play, and getting chalked by randoms :)

Their temple grounds were really pretty, they had a big pond and a llama farm (and peacocks that kept showing off for us!) Some of the llamas got chalked too..

We came back to our place and cleaned up (we got Max all colorful first though) and enjoyed a steak dinner made by Evan and Trevor. Such a fun day!!

Oakley Turns 3!

I can't believe my little niece is already 3! We celebrated with cupcakes and lots of presents :)



Rick's sister came with her kids so it was fun to watch everyone play together! It was the first time I've seen Oakley around other kids, and it was so cute to watch her and her cousin Allison interact.



We had a fun night playing with Oakley and all the new toys she got :) It made Trevor excited to buy toys for our baby!

Cristina's 24th Birthday

Trevor called me on the way home and told me to get dressed up to go out to dinner. I was so excited when we pulled up to Gloria's Little Italy! I've been wanting to go there forever, and it was the perfect birthday dinner! We walked in and Trevor had flowers waiting on our table (LOVE him!), and the whole restaurant was just romantic and cute and it had good food.
Trevor took me back home, where there was a surprise party waiting for me! (and not just any party.. a princess party! haha PERFECT!) I wasn't expecting everyone to be there, it was so much fun :)
Oakley loved that she was at a princess party-- I think she was smiling the most I've ever seen her smile! Haha she was in heaven.
Nicolina went all out on my cake, it was a gorgeous princess castle! Ahh, perfection.
I loved hanging out and talking with everyone-- it was the perfect way to spend my birthday.I can't believe I'm 24!!!

Evan's 30th Birthday

Last night Evan turned 30!!! We kept giving him a hard time but he took it pretty well :) Nicole had him close his eyes in the car all the way from their house to Herriman, and then up until we walked into Famous Daves. We kept trying to throw Evan off so he wouldn't know where we were... he kept trying to guess! At first Nicole was like "we're goin to Vegas!" and he didn't really believe us, so she was like "Okay fiiiine.. I wasn't gonna tell you, but we're going to APX to eat at the cafe." Haha but once we walked into Famous Daves, Evan was a happy guy.

After dinner, we headed back to Herriman for delicious cake. Look how beautiful Nicole's creation was! Such a fun night! (and I still can't believe Evan is actually 30!)
