California Visit

California 2008

This past weekend Warren and I were able to make it to Los Angeles for the weekend to surprise Michelle...and boy we did. I wish we had pictures of her face but we were all to excited to make it a photo op.
Our flight was delayed by 4 hours on Friday so we got in pretty late and made it out to a little bar for some food. We split our time between Redondo Beach and Marina del Rey (this is where Michelle's boyfriend lives, Chris).

Saturday we had a delicious brunch at some really cool place in Marina del Rey then we headed out to The J. Paul Getty Museum. This would have been a really great photo op but of course our camera battery was totally dead! Not a happy camper but I soon got over it. This was the first time Michelle and I had EVER been to a museum...that we can remember if we did happen to go as kids.
Saturday night we went to a Polish restaurant for dinner. WOW was it good! It is called Warszawa. We had all sorts of food. We stayed foe the rest of the evening and hung out at the bar to meet some of Chris' friends.

Sunday morning we headed out for more breakfast at a really cool place that made everything crepes called La Creperie: Bohemian Bistro & Bar. It was a really neat place that was very gypsy looking with really good food. After getting our stomachs full we went off to the beach to see Warren and Chris go surfing. This is the first time ever for Warren...hehehe. Once I learn how to post videos you can watch him wipe out...a lot. :) But he was super cute doing it. Chris had a lot of patience too. I didn't catch any pictures of Warren standing on the board because he really wasn't on it much. But he sure did do one hell of a job trying.




We had a great time and we were really sad to go. :( We hope to go back and see them again soon.

Natty & Michelle hanging out on the beach...lucky girl get to do this all the time.

We wanted to wish G - Mom & Dad a very happy 30th Anniversary!

Congrats to the two of you! You have taught us so much about marriage...to laugh as much as you can and communicate! We think we are doing pretty good and it is working so far for us!

Congrats again! We love you!

Valentine's Weekend

So Valentine's weekend the whole Bickley family headed to Lake Travis. This is the first time that the all of the "Bickley kids" are together with their spouses and of course the parents. :)

**OK, we all know that Layne and Chris are a Childs but for ease I'm just saying Bickley**




These are from dinner on Saturday night...love Ryan's smile! Can you tell he excited to be back!




Another one...

We had lots of fun and can't wait to do it again. :)

New Addition to the Family

So Warren and I decided to skip the whole lets get a fish, then a cat, perhaps after that a dog. If we were able to keep all of those animals alive we would then think about having kids...well that all went out the window at the beginning of the year.




We are trucking ahead and just having a kid!

I am now 9 weeks pregnant! We went to our first OB/GYN visit and had the first baby's (AKA Chiquito) picture. The ultrasound picture is below. I had a hard time scanning it and what-not but the second one is the same picture but with text showing what is where. You can't read it unless you click on it and save it and see it bigger. I should get better at this soon.



Warren and I actually found out when I was two weeks! I somehow knew and just had a feeling that something wasn't normal...along with the sleepiness and super tender chest. It was the first weekend I slept in past 9:30am! This picture actually helped me get REALLY excited about this whole thing, cause lets face it...we all knew this wasn't planned for another 3-5 years. I had a really hard time with the news at first but slowly started to get excited about it all. Warren has been elated since day one! I'm a lucky gal! He has been so great and pampering me with anything and everything I need.

I will probably post a lot of thoughts...happy and sad on here about this new endeavor and I will for sure keep you all posted on the growth of new Baby B!
