We are pregnant with #2 and very happy about it! We're excited for emma to have a little playmate and anxious to watch her as a big sister, we think she'll be a great one! Thanks for all your calls and messages. I am just about 5 weeks along, you all know I can't keep something to myself for that long! So we have quite a ways to go but we'll keep you all posted on any news!

Top Ten Bainbridge 2007
A few years ago my parents bought a summer home in the small town of Bainbridge Island, WA. It's impossible to describe the serenity of this Island until you visit. Their house is surrounded by a forest of trees where deer can be found and wildlife is plentiful but as you look the other direction, it's set on the ocean with what seems like your own private little beach. However, all that serenity goes out the window once the Ogden clan of 24 arrives for our annual 4th of July vacation.
It's become somewhat of a tradition to list our Top Ten favorite memories, this is overdue but we didn't want to miss the chance to thank Mom and Dad for sharing their home with us and giving us these opportunities to create such great and memorable times...
1. Charades...Dave's "I'm Too Sexy" duck walk and Alisa's choice of "Popcorn Popping"
2. Early morning wakeboarding trips with John and Todd
3. Catchin' crab...and starfish!
4. Getting stuck in the middle of the ocean in the kayak with Alisa
5. Crabfest x2
6. Emma & Payson sneaking off together, exploring and smooching!
7. Watching Max wakeboard
8. Throwing rocks and crabs with Emma!
9. Meg's Super Croquet Comeback!
10. Boat trip to Paulsbo to gorge on yummy cinnamon rolls, donuts, and hot chocolate
Chris' add ins: Wakeboarding, Sorbet from Mora, and Watching Dave deep fry a frozen microwavable burrito!
Honorable mentions go out to Dave and his triple decker ice cream cone, the wonderful sweet lady who honored us with a prayer of hope in RS, trying to capture a cousins photo, Jacy's baby shower luncheon, "fire!", and the Cuz Club!
Thanks Mom & Dad...Can't wait for next year!!

I know I have many other things to post, but this was just way too good to pass up. This is absolutely for real, Chris and I were flipping through the channels last night and came across the Miss Teen USA 2007...we were speechless. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

Summer Breakin' It!
This has been one busy Summer, but I am back and ready to blog!
We started our Summer early with a trip to Kauai at the end of April. Chris was rewarded an extra week vacation with a paid trip of our choice for all his hard work at FMV Opinions, Inc. Good Job, Chris! We had such a relaxing and fun time together as a family. Emma was great for us and especially enjoyed all the time outside swimming, playing at the beach, and chasing around roosters. We stayed on the East side of the Island at the Waipouli Beach Resort and would absolutely recommend it. It has much more of a local feel which means better food and less crowded! Highlights of our trip...Sunday Brunch at Princeville Resort (a must do!!), Wailua Falls, Poipu Beach, Breakfast Burritos from Shakka Tacos, Snorkeling Tunnels on the North Shore, Helicopter Tour over Na Pali Coast, Dinner at Coconuts, and Smith's Luau.

The day after we got home from Kauai, I packed up the car and headed out to AZ to help watch my sister's kids for the week. 
Emma had such a fun time with her cousins swimming, playing at Peter Piper Pizza, discovering the Children's Museum, and eating cookies with Grandma. This was a big week for mommy too...we finally got Emma to fall asleep on her own. No more rocking! 14 months, that's good, right?! I've adored my many many days and nights rocking her to sleep, but it was definitely time! 
Emma's newest cousin...
Welcome baby girl, Bailey!
We are so excited for another cousin for Emma, especially a little girl!! I was lucky enough to be here in AZ for her arrival and get to hold her just hours old. She's precious and has the sweetest little face and most beautiful color of hair. My sister, Jacy, is a wonderful mother and is such a good example to me. This makes a family of 6 for them...WOW!! And such a cute family they are! Congratulations!
