Pictures of June
I'm back! We have been super busy, so blogging as been on the backburner. We have had company four weekends and the one weekend we didn't have guests, we took an anniversary trip to Monterey! This pregnant momma is EXHAUSTED! We are definitely lying low in July and resting up for #2's arrival. It was so nice to have everyone visit and unfortunately we were so busy enjoying their company that I didn't take a single picture!
Grandmommie came first and Kayleigh loved every second with her Great-Grandmommie. We took her to our church, the local farmer's market and to the playground. It was so nice to just relax and enjoy her visit.
The next weekend we took off to Monterey, CA for our anniversary trip. I can't believe we have been married 3 years...well with #2 on the way maybe it seems like it has been longer than 3! :) We had such an awesome time. We drove the 17 Mile Drive through Pebble Beach which was beautiful! We walked all over Monterey, visited the aquarium, Cannery Row, saw the CG station, had some awesome Clam Chowder and really enjoyed the weekend!
The next weekend Lesa came to visit and get her Kayleigh fix. Brett had to work part of the weekend but we got lots done around the house.
The next week (on our anniversary in fact) my mom came! I was so glad to spend some time with her and we got so much done! We did some crafting and got Kayleigh's room all ready for the new baby. We washed 4 loads of laundry and got the newborn clothes hung up and put into the dresser. This little girl will definitely have no shortage of baby clothes! We could only fit the clothes from 0 to 3 months! The rest we had to keep in storage containers. She has a whole drawer full of onsies!! I feel much better now that we are pretty much ready for #2 to arrive. Brett had to work the weekend again so it was really nice to have mom here. Kayleigh s usual was attached to mom's hip. She loves her Nana and it is so funny how alike they are. I keep telling mom to send a picture of herself at that age because they look a lot alike. She definitely takes after Brett but the older she gets, the more she looks like Mom. We were sad taking Mom to the airport and Kayleigh even cried as she got out of the car and walked into the airport. It was heartbreaking, but I know she'll be back soon for the arrival with #2 and Dad will be coming too! Brett and I can't wait! Brett and Dad are already talking smack about the tennis competitions and motorcycle riding. :)
Our last visitors were Brett's cousin Damien, his wife Monica and their son Ethan. Damien is in the marines and stationed in San Diego. They came up to see the city, so we did the touristy things in the city on Friday and went to the Giant's game on Saturday during the day. We were so exhausted that we stayed home and skipped fireworks that night. Kayleigh went two days in a row with no nap so we all needed a break. Yesterday after church, we spent the whole day relaxing! It was so nice, but now I'm back to the grind...cleaning house, working from home and keeping up with Kayleigh.
The last picture is at 33 weeks. I can't believe I only have a little more than 6 weeks until my due date! I'm ready to meet her but definitely not ready to go back to the newborn routine. I will definitely try to enjoy sleeping for the next few weeks.
Well, we hope everyone is doing well! We miss you and love you all!

The new ride
So I had a crazy moment of impulse and decided to sell my car. Yes my wonderful black beautiful 4runner. Man, I miss that car already! :) Anyway, I told Brett that I wanted to sell my car and get a motorcycle or an old car for him to drive to work which would be PAID FOR! My car was close to being paid off but was already getting a little small for our quickly growing family so...I listed it on craigslist. Well, it sold 2 days later! I couldn't believe it and I'm actually really thankful because if you know me, you know how indecisive I am. It drives my husband crazy. I'm pretty sure if it hadn't sold so soon, I would have changed my mind and we'd still have my car...which I'm thankful I do not by the way. So anyway, we set out to look for Brett's new ride. He, of course, set out to find his motorcycle. He's been wanting a motorcycle for a while so I finally gave in. Anyway, he found a 2009 Harley Dyna Super Glide that was only 3 months old through a friend at the station. After a week of going back and forth (I told you I was indecisive), I finally gave in. And...he. is. in. love. I think I may never see my husband during daylight hours again. He has lived in the garage since he got it. :) Well...here she is. By the way, I don't think he's named her yet. And speaking of names...Big Sexy (the Tundra) needs a new name too since that's mine now. ;) By the way, Big Sexy was named because a friend asked what he named his new truck and that's the first thing that popped into his mind. Me personally... I would have said, "Well I haven't come up with one yet" and gave it a little thought. But hey...I'm indecisive right? At least he can go with something and not have second thoughts. ;) I'm so glad we are such opposites because together we work pretty well. :)
Kayleigh is doing well. She cut two new teeth on the top and she is a fruit eating machine. This kid LOVES fruit....and eating off Mommy & Daddy's plate. I've recently figured out that she'll eat anything if it comes off our plate...so that's usually how we get her to eat anything other than fruit, cheerios, snap pea crisps, oatmeal or yogurt. Oh...and of course sweets are no problem. ;) She must take after her mom. She is so fun to play with and loves going to the playground now. She loves the slide. The swings...she's not so sure about. Brett and I enjoy taking for rides in her wagon to the playground.

Campbell is doing well too. My belly is definitely growing and she's a wiggle worm in there! I love feeling her move around. Kayleigh doesn't understand the baby or my belly of course, but she loves to kiss my belly. :) It is so cute. I'm getting anxious for her to come, but I am enjoying my last 11 weeks or so. This pregnancy has definitely flown by.
We've had Grandmommie here for a week and we have definitely enjoyed having her. Kayleigh loves her Grandmommie! They have laughed and played the whole time. Kayleigh has especially enjoyed the icecream Grandmommie shares with her. I am so sad she's leaving tomorrow as she's been a HUGE help for me. I have been able to get work done and RELAX! I've been pretty lazy this week and enjoyed every moment! Thanks Grandmommie! We love you!!
I think that's about all for now...
Hope everyone is doing well!! Love from the Bonner's!

Woobie World??
So Kayleigh loves Ellie the pink elephant that she sleeps with. I mean she LOVES Ellie. Our friend Cristi bought it for her so I asked her where she got it and she says Target. I think oh perfect. I'll go grab another one "just in case." Well, Target discontinued it! Of course! So I decide to look online for another Ellie. What do I find? Store after store named things such as Woobie World, Land of Lost Toys, Things Treasured and so on. It's ingenius if you ask me. They are charging much more for these things than Target and they know that the parents will pay it. And yes, I will be ordering and paying a ridiculous price for another Ellie because if you've seen K with her Ellie, you would too. :)
So my advice to parents to be...make sure you buy more than one of whatever blanket, stuffed animal or "lovey" you decide to give to your child. Don't put it off because I pretty sure it's one big conspiracy and they discontinue them quite frequently just to make a ridiculous profit when you are desperate and need a replacement. And while you are at it, buy one you can wash. Ellie has a nice music box inside her so when you pull her tail, it plays Brahms Lullaby. Now this definitely came in handy when she was younger and now she's even figured out how to pull it and play it herself (so cute ;) ). HOWEVER, music box inside Ellie is NOT handy or cute when she pukes on Ellie. So there it is...buy multiple ones and pick something washable. Trust me...you will be thankful!
