Weekend pics

Over the weekend we headed to Tucson to say goodbye to our cousins. We had a wonderful time playing, swimming and just hanging out. Have a safe trip back home, we will definitely miss you guys!

Dance class

Kendal is obsessed with Dancing with the Stars so I thought it was time for dance class. Today was her first day of tap/ballet class and she loved it. Here is her one move she kept telling us about.

I also took Kendal and Beckett for our first outing alone (it's two against one now). Everything went fine until I told Brian we went to Michaels and he said it was too foo foo for Beckett and suggested we go to Home Depot and Hooters instead.

Becks Beer

I totally forgot to post this the other day and it's such a classic....the boys were thrilled to remember there's a beer for Beckett.

Holy Smokes... It's a WHAT?!?!?!

Brian here - Michelle and baby are doing great! But before we introduce the newest addition to the Bonjour clan, a few funny things led up to the big event this morning.

First of all, for those of you who know Michelle, you know how passionate she is about not finding out the sex of the baby. So at 16 weeks, we head to the OB for our routine first sonogram to check for basic baby health and growth. The entire office is extremely careful making sure nobody spills the beans whether it's a boy or girl... they don't even put in the chart what the sex is, so the doctor doesn't even know until he or she pops out. Anyway... mid sonogram, the sonogram tech says something like this: "baby looks great.. there's the spine... there's the feet... there's her head... there's the heart beating... etc." I look straight at Michelle hoping she missed it, but she didn't. Michelle was devastated and we both assumed that the sonogram tech accidentally spilled the beans. We're having a girl.

Over time, Michelle convinces herself that the sonogram tech may have been using "her" generically, much like a guy might use "him" generically. I, however, am still 100% positive that the 17 year sonogram tech had really screwed up and completely ruined what my wife calls "the only true surprise left in life." No doubt about it, it's a girl.

Last week, the family baby game goes around where everyone guesses the sex, weight, length, etc. Even though Michelle has convinced herself there's a chance it could be a boy, she couldn't help but put Girl as her guess. I am still 100% sure it is a girl.

Then the evening before delivery date, we head to PF Changs for dinner. Following dinner we are excited to open our fortune cookies. Well, PF Changs planted a loaded fortune for Michelle that said "It's a Boy!" It takes us all a second to realize it was a joke... we all get a good laugh, very well done PF Changs. Then I open my fortune cookie. One side has a typical non-fortune about being nice to people or something. But the other side lists an English word and how to spell it in Chinese. Our table had words like "cookie", "river", and "smile." Well my fortune cookie word was... "Boy." Ha. Unbelievable. Everyone thinks this is funny, but I only think these are cruel jokes since we already know it is 100% a girl.

So I spent a total of 3 minutes discussing boy names with Michelle since the sonogram. Why would I... it's a girl. Same as last time, the routine is: Dr Carter does the c-section, pulls the baby out, and let's me look and tell Michelle if it's a boy or girl. When Dr Carter pulls out a screaming healthy baby I casually glance and get ready to tell Michelle that it's a girl. BUT WAIT... is that a twig and berries!?!?!? I was so blown away that I said: "YESSSSS, IT'S A BOY... is that right Dr Carter???"

Hilarious. We then spent the next couple hours talking about boy names. Because it was 100% a girl.

Last Dr's appt

Despite these horrible pictures of me (I sucked it up) I took one last picture at the Dr's office so I could compare my last visit before baby is born. What a difference 2 1/2 years make (and yes, that is Kendal wearing her tutu with a sucker showing a thumbs up).

Weekend Update

Some friends surprised me today with a baby shower. Michele and my mom arranged everything and it wasn't easy surprising me (apparently). Michele had planned everything and made every last detail perfect. It was so thoughtful of them to think of me and arrange a beautiful lunch while showering me with baby gifts. Thank you everyone for coming, you are all fabulous!
Our friend, Jamie, graduated from Physican Assistant School over the weekend. We attended graduation, cheered loud and had a wonderful dinner. Congratulations Jamie, we're so proud of you!

Sunny San Diego

Now I know why I don't have 4 kids under the age of 4, you barely have time to blink. Last weekend we met Kendal's cousins over in San Diego. We had a fun time at Legoland, the beach, the Padres game and just tearing around and hanging out. Unfortunately I don't have the best pictures, I was too busy to get the camera out and focus it for a picture. We can't wait to see the boys again next week.

"The Crew". Nothing like taking a family photo in a hotel room with the bed unmade in the background (it was made at some point before this picture).
