MLK Holiday Tradition…still alive!

I love living in Sunny Southern California. It literally is sunny MOST of the year but it was odd since this year we had “record breaking low temps” last week, and man it was sh*t cold around here!! And then this weekend its in the 80’s…what the heck?!? From long sleeve thermals one week, to shorts and tanks the following its crazy! Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining since this Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday weekend we were able to soak up the sun and hit the beach! So awesome! Its become our little tradition…and now that I’m looking up pictures I’ve realized its more of an every other year tradition.

2009 I was 6 months prego with Owen, had great weather, great day…2010 was a no-go since I was still going through chemo. 2011 was a beautiful day and we enjoyed it with the Gerke Girls. And last year, 2012, it was raining so we skipped it.

So this year we got lucky and it was another BEAU-TI-FUL day! We headed down to the same spot in Newport Beach (off 56th street) and sit in the same area  by the same jetti and lifeguard tower every MLK weekend. Yeah I’m totally NOT a creature of routine or nostalgic or anything haha. 
And this year I’m OBVIOUSLY very prego!!

Yep I’m  37 weeks prego…and yes this BIG BELLY GIRL got in a bikini at the beach. I figured “eff it”…only live once.

These pictures are funny….taken in 2009 and 2013..our “baby bellies”

He really does love that I make him take embarrassing pictures…then post them on our blog! haha Poor Yosh!

Anyway…the kids had a great time…we only had to stay until the parking meters were out (less than 2 hours) and we were all done…no tears or fuss cleaning up! haha Not used to the sun beating down on us it was a tiring day! And we had some hungry kids (including the one in my belly!)

And my “big belly girlfriend” Heather…was also with me…but she wouldn’t dare take her clothes off. haha chicken!  Owen even asked after we left why “Header” didn’t take her shirt off at the beach!?!? Silly girl Heather…even with my husband begging to get a look at her prego belly (he’s an odd person that LOVES prego’s)
But we are both 37 weeks prego…and both patiently awaiting the arrival of our precious little people that are coming in less than 14 days! Oh my gosh…crazy! Our little lady will be appearing in 11 days (or sooner) and Heathers little dude will be here in 12 days (or sooner)….baffles my brain!
