Not sure if anyone checks this blog still, but I've been posting more on my other blog. I told myself that I would make this my personal site, but I started posting personal stuff on my other site and decided to not use this site anymore. If you haven't seen my main site, check it out here.

If you know Christine, you know that she loves giraffes. So when we saw these, we had to get them. I think this baby will have a full wardrobe before he/she is even born.

Round 1

2008-11-09T19:42:00.001-08:00

Well, peanut has been having lots of cravings the past few months. Well at least we think they are cravings. The food ends up tasting bitter and I end up eating the rest of the food. So, both of us have been getting bigger lately.

Round 1 - The winner is ME!!! I don't know why I'm proud of it.

Have I bragged about Christine lately?

2008-10-28T19:31:00.000-07:00

I am so fortunate that the woman having my child is so amazing. Every husband that loves his wife thinks highly of them and knows that no other woman can compare. Well, I seriously can't compare and I can't even come close to imagine myself with someone else because no one else would even come remotely close to how awesome my wife is. And today was a perfect example of her awesomeness.

Today my wife was invited to be a guest speaker for one of her former professors from her masters program. She was so nervous prior to the lecture and prepared the night before over and over and over. Its hard for me to imagine that she can get nervous because public speaking comes so natural for her and she always makes a strong connection with her audience. Her presentation rocked. Everyone was amazed with what she had to say. At the very end, she played her slide show presentation that yours truly helped her make and brought some tears to the audience. The lecture ended with applause, compliments, and endless questions of how did you get to be so awesome. And the answer is simple. I have the support of a loving, handsome and wonderful husband.

If our child has her brains and my good looks, you better watch out.

Brown Eyes

2008-10-22T19:45:00.000-07:00

Our baby will have your brown eyes, my dimples, your smile, my humor, your compassion, my dedication, your bunions, my gas, your intelligence, my creativity and most especially... our baby will have our endless love.

In the past few weeks, as we've shared the news with our family and our friends, we've learned so much about pregnancy and what to expect in the days to come. We've shopped and received maternity clothes, books, baby clothes, videos, college applications, etc... And at the end of the day when we've taken in more information than imaginable, we lay next to each other and tell each other that the baby will have your appetite for plain hot water, my curiosity for computers and future technology, your fashionable line of cardigans, my obsession to make sure all appliances are turned off before leaving the house, your affinity for ear hygeine, and our dedication to the Lord.

The past 3 months has brought us closer. I can't imagine what the next 6 months will bring.

The feeling

2008-10-09T21:31:00.000-07:00

Christine keeps asking me how I feel. “Are you ready, are you nervous, does it feel real?” I don’t know how to answer that sometimes. I can’t really define one feeling that I have. But I’m excited. I’m happy and really looking forward to it. I’ve always dreamed about raising a family with the person I love. But, there is a feeling that I do get. This feeling that you get a few times in your lifetime that is so… I don’t know how to explain it, but I can tell you when it happens. The most recent time I felt this “feeling” was when I saw this picture for the first time.

I guess going into the appointment, I felt like I knew what to expect. I’ve seen it on tv, in the movies. Everyone gets emotional and excited. And I was expecting to feel that way. When I saw the screen, I was like, “Ok cool, wow, super” But what really hit me, what really just knocked me out was when the technician turned up the volume and I heard the most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard in my life. It was the sound of my child’s heartbeat. MY CHILD!!! MY… MY CHILD!!!! Ok then I started freaking out. But in a good way. In a way like, “Wow, I did this. This is mine. I am responsible for this. I'm going to be a daddy.” You know when you expect things and you see it through in your head, but then when it actually comes true, you just forget about how you picture them and it just happens.

The last time I had this feeling was when I first saw my wife for the first time in her wedding dress and she was walking down the aisle. We had a rehearsal the day before and planned it out months in advance, but the feeling you get when it happens for real is indescribable. Our first kiss. I thought about it and imagine what I would say, pretend to be smooth, hide the nervousness and know what I was doing, but when it happens, you forget everything and it just happens.

The Secret is out

2008-10-04T19:24:00.000-07:00

Well, I think almost everyone knows now. Well, at least everyone that checks my blog. On our wedding night, everyone told me to go make a baby. Well... that I did.

It hasn't completely hit me yet, but I know when I see my mom's first grandchild for the first time, I will be ballin like no other. Since I met Christine, my life has changed completely. I have a promising career, a house, two dogs, a loving wife and a nubbins bakin in the oven. Wow!!! I am all grown up. Scary. I am really excited and so thankful for all the Lord has given me. I really could not ask for more. There is nothing more in life that I could ever need than what I have already.

Here is some pictures of the Love of my life and how my family reacted to the news.

Honey just came home today. She had 15 bladder stones removed yesterday.

Andy misses his best friend and hope she feels better soon. The house was very quiet today. It wasn't fun barking at the gardener and innocent children by himself. It wasn't quite the same.

Labor Day Weekend

2008-08-30T22:37:00.000-07:00

This weekend we surprised my mom for her birthday on Monday. Every time I surprise her, I call her right before and tell her I can't make it and tell her how sorry I am. Then I come in and surprise her. My sister help me execute the surprise at Santana Row. Afterwards we sat on fake grass and cheess meessed (gossiped).

At the store I snuck up behind my mom and said,"Excuse me ma'am, you cannot leave the store with that."

My mom's Katie Holmes haircut.

I wanted to get a piece of cardboard and write on it, "Need $200k, please help"

mmmm, garlic fries.

Maly's First Birthday Party

2008-08-17T16:16:00.000-07:00

Big blue eyes, blonde curls that go on forever, and signature puckered lips that will send anyone spiraling in circles. This is perhaps the best way to define Maly on her very first birthday party.

Rehearsal Dinner

2008-08-10T16:42:00.000-07:00

I haven't been blogging in a while, nor have I been taking pictures. That's because I'M MARRIED!!!!! Well, its been killing me not taking pictures. I really wanted to photograph my own wedding, but MY WIFE wasn't for it. I was so tempted to just take my photographer's camera and switch places with him. So here are some pics from the rehearsal dinner.

2008-07-24T14:59:00.000-07:00

Hello, my name is Honey. I'm 6 years old and I enjoy hiding in small areas and licking
myself. I'm not really fond of Andy, but I do like it when he gives me a facial. I love corn beef and deli slices.

Hi, I'm Andy. You can also call me Bandy, cause that's what my mom calls me for some reason. I love fresh poo and barking at the wall. I'm trying really hard to get it to bark back at me.

The Ingalls

2008-07-20T20:13:00.001-07:00

Shoot in Manual. Adjust your exposure. Set your ISO. Set your aperture..... Why are my hands sweating and shaking? Why is my heart beating so fast? Ummm... Yeah, I'M SHOOTING PICTURES OF CAMERON AND ANNA INGALLS!!!! The person that inspired me to start taking pictures is being photographed in my camera. No pressure. Should I post these? Ok, I took 100 pictures in 5 minutes and I think only 1 of them was in focus. Well, here goes nothing.

Thanks again you guys for everything. You have forever changed our lives and we are so grateful to have had met you.

Christine's new phone

2008-05-03T17:55:00.001-07:00

Christine's new phone is really cool. It takes 2mp pictures. I was
really hoping she wouldn't like it and I could keep it for myself, but
her old phone was really ghetto. I should get some marketing revenue
from Verizon for this.
