Happy Birthday to the BCS!

Happy Birthday to Ellie Belly! You are the best little sister in the entire world! I miss your shining face and I can't wait to see it in San Diego. I love you and I hope you have a wonderful day!

We miss you aunt Ellie!!! Can't wait to see your cute face again :)

MY WEDDING

Not to brag, but for those of you who don't know, I designed, made the pattern and sewed my wedding dress and all the bridesmaids' dresses, (see the pictures below). I really liked everything about my wedding. Danny made a delicious thai food feast the night before; April, Kristen and Justine did all the flowers and other decor and did a fabulous job; Doug, Danny and Al put up the orb lights. Tons of efforts were made by all of my family members, and it made the whole thing turn out great. Thanks to everyone!

Julia & Bryan's Wedding

So yes, he got a name. Tucker Douglas Keawe DeMartini. And here are a few more pictures so you won't miss out on how cute he is these days. Well, pretty cute besides yesterday morning when he screamed for 2 hours... We are so excited to come back and meet everyone!!

love their matching expressions...

Name deadline: Tuesday at 11am

In case you were all wondering.... the birth certificate people gave us until Tuesday at 11am to get the name in, so I'm guessing that's when we'll have the big news. He's getting bigger everyday. He's already 6lbs4oz. He gained 5oz in the last 2 days already! He's sleeping pretty good, eating a lot, crying a lot less since his soooo sad diaper rash is getting better. And he smiles a lot :) And he's verrrry cute! And he can hardly wait to meet everyone!

apparently the baby looks like me

Happy Birthday!

It was so fun to be able to all come up and spend time together. Aren't they such a cute birthday duo? Thanks Nat and Ellie for getting up early and making a splendidly delicious breakfast. If you'll notice there is even a special ketchup one for Dave :)

Happy Birthday! We love you :)

28 weeks!

I think he's getting a lot bigger lately because I can really feel him moving around all the time. And i can feel his head and butt or some body part sticking out of my stomach a lot when I'm laying down. There is definitely a little gremlin in there :)

friday night happenings

Need something to do on a Friday night?
So I got out this electroshock kinda machine I got to help with my neck and shoulder after my car accident that I never used because I got pregnant right after. But Doug wanted to try it out on his shoulder and knee and basically everywhere and he has been having a great time shocking himself and others. Luckily since I'm pregnant he only tried it on me once on my leg... But Enos and Holli, not so lucky. We found out that Enos can take the voltage as high as it goes. He is the winner of the torture contest. Then Doug, then Holli, and then probably me. It was pretty entertaining though, and kinda freaky since it contorts your muscles and makes your hands and fingers and feet and muscles do all sorts of weird looking things. We should probably not make a habit of this.

Julia's 1/2 Marathon!

Julia Gulia did a half marathon in Moab this weekend! It was pretty cold there, but we had a fun time in the beautiful Canyonlands.  She finished the half marathon (13 miles) and she didn't even get picked up by the shuttle (for people on the main road past 12:30). As she crossed the finish line, the announcer said "Julia DeMartini!" and the song sang "Pour some sugar on me" by Def Leppard.  It was quite perfect. She finished in under 3 hours. Yay for her. :)  She was immediately sore after the long run though. 

This is a glass cube design I made in my Floral Design class.  I really like this class.  I'm really excited for spring, hence the vibrant spring colors.  I gave it to my roommate Zia for her birthday.
