30 week belly shots!

Ok I thought I would post one more using the same shirt as when pregnant with Nico. I think I am dead even with size and where I am carrying! Your thoughts??

30 weeks. Yikes!

Ok, so here I am at 30 weeks (well 30 weeks this coming Friday).. and below this one is the 30 week pic from when I was pregnant with Nico. What is with the hand on the hip?? DORK!

30 week shot with Nico! One thing is for sure... I am PASTY in both!

Random Pics...

Clearly these two woke up a bit too early this particular morning. They look comfy watching Elmo though. I am sure that Mario will be pleased at me posting a pic of him in pajama pants and a sleeveless shirt. HOT!!

This kid LOVES his ice cream treats!
LOVES!

Hmmm, someone is being naughty!! Nico got the "daredevil" gene from me. This child is not afraid of much (with the exception of strangers). He climbs on ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. Grandma Gina caught him on the counter at her house.. he had climbed the bar stool to get onto the counter because he knows which cabinet houses the M&M's. Here he has climbed onto one of his toys to open dresser drawers.

Breakfast time at the Morelli's consists of Nico sitting on your lap and eating. For some reason his seat does not suffice.

Our Annual Trip Out West

At the end of August our family was able to enjoy a 4 night stay out west on Puget Sound in Washington. It is always great to be able to get out there once a year and bum around on the beach, see family and relax. Mario's parents were able to join us this year, so that was an extra special bonus!

Here is the whole crew!

The beach with the fog lifting!

Traci and Nellie

What a devil face...kinda sums it up :)

Sharing with Uncle Tim (as he would like to be called..haha)

It was "humpie" season while we were there. Literally hundreds of salmon jumping out of the water in front of the house while we watched. You would think we that many it would be fairly easy to catch some. It ended up being our quest while we were there. I believe between everyone we caught 3 or 4 total :) Here is Mario proudly displaying his first catch.

kiss kiss...

And Corky with hers!!!

Mario and Jer!

Going out to drop the crab pot!

quite the haul..

Time to get crackin'

And a stop at Pike's Place Market..

Fresh Squid... I believe this is year 3 that we have purchased fresh squid to take home and make our own breaded Calamari. YUM!

Traci and Nellie on the lucky pig.. We were rubbing the Buddha belly saying "Girl, Girl".. but I don't even think the lucky pig can break the Morelli boy streak!!

Mike and Gina

Squid face!! The process of cleaning and cutting our own Calamari is disgusting (no other way to put it), but I believe we paid around $6 for 6lbs of squid. It is worth the pain!

Corky fishing for those humpies!!

Nellie after the great humpie!

Nico running the beach..

Turning over rocks to find little crabs..

Ish.. a big jelly fish that had come up with the tide!

Beautiful sunsets!
