The park across the street from our apartment is one of the best things about living in Ventura. It is actually an old cemetery where about 150 people are buried. there are even headstones for about 50 of them. they are all from the 1800's. it's pretty cool. on a regular day it has a great view of the ocean but on foggy days it looks like this! we love foggy days!

Navy took some flowers off of a grave...
Brian explained to her that it was not okay, so they walked them back.
On Friday of labor day weekend we decided that we should do something fun for the weekend so brian called up his aunt Dana in San Francisco and we headed up there that night for the three day weekend. we spent a few days in the city just wandering around. i love that city! plus it was so fun to see his aunt and cousin sophie. this is navy down at pier 39.
Sometimes she really hates to have her pictures taken.
So this is a funny story...as most of you know, navy lives in pretend world. in this picture she told brian, "dad i'm in a band and i play the drums. these are my ghetto glasses and this is the face i do cuz i'm in a band." she thought she was pretty cool!
Navy's second day of preschool. i just love the pose she chose to do!
A few days ago it was my birthday!! thanks everyone for my nice birthday wishes! navy and i made this cake for my birthday! navy has a small obsession with watching cake decorating tutorials on youtube. she can seriously watch them for an hour. she can tell you how to make a mermaid cake, a bunny, a barbie cake, a turtle, a robot, and this caterpillar. pretty cute huh.
Navy decided it was a girl so it needed eyelashes.
and last but not least this is my belly as of about an hour ago. it getting bigger and more uncomfortable by the day but i really can't complain. i have had such an easy pregnancy (knock on wood) and it has flown by!

First Day of Preschool!

i just got home from taking Navy to her first day of preschool! i'm not sure how i feel about it! i'm excited for her to learn and play and make new friends. and i'm excited to have a few hours to myself...but at the same time i miss her and don't want her to be so old and grown up! her school will be awesome though. i can literally see if from my living room window so it is just a quick walk over, and the teachers seems so fun and navy wasn't very sad or nervous to leave me at all cuz they had so many fun things set up to do. here are a few pictures...




They have a whole closet of dress-ups!! she is in heaven!!!

i suck at blogging!

fourth of july weekend in long beach
4th of july

it has been forever since i wrote anything on here and i'm real sorry about that.
life is so so so good though! we have been in ventura, ca now for a few months and i couldn't have dreamed of better a place to live. Brian found us an apartment that is perfect! we live a mile from the ocean and close to downtown and across the street from cemetary that has been turned into a park. we even can see the ocean from our front door!! it's awesome!
brian loves his job and we live close enough that he rides his bike there everyday. working for Neff has already made him a better designer and has given him so many opportunities. a few weeks ago he went to a party at the fantasy factory ! Crazy! he gets to design so much more then just t-shirts now including sunglasses, a watch, backpacks, snowboard jackets and tons more.
navy is getting real excited for her baby brother to come! she lays on my stomach and listens for him and usually ends up getting a kick in the ear! it makes her day! hopefully she will be going into preschool within the next month we're just trying to find the right one.
i'm feeling really good. be belly is definitely starting to get in way and i'm usually pretty tired but other then that i have been really lucky and have had no problems or complications.
we have been pretty busy with brian's family the last few weeks and it has been so great to have them visiting from Guam. they have lived internationally our whole marriage so it is always a special treat to get to hang out with them. thanks for everything guys!
well i'll try not to be a stranger on here but no promises haha!

we're moving!!!

navy and i spent the last 2 weeks with my mom and dad in Bonner's Ferry, Idaho. it was so fun to be there. navy was covered in mud pretty much everday and driving the two cats crazy. the timing couldn't have been more perfect for getting up there since we didn't know we would moving so soon.

it's official! we are leaving rexburg behind and moving to sunny ventura, ca! we couldn't be more happy! brian got the job at Neff and is one of their designers and LOVES it, we got an awesome apartment 1 mile from the beach and across the street from a park, and Navy can't wait to get back to california. we are soooo blessed and excited about our new life. we are leaving rexburg on thursday already so we have a ton to do.

life is good!

Announcing!!

the newest osborne!!! i'm about 14 weeks along, so we won't know for a few more weeks what the sex is but i think it is amazing how much like a baby it already looks! we are sooooo excited. we haven't really talked to navy about it yet cuz i think 6 months will seem like an eternity to her. but when i really start to show, i don't think we'll be able to keep it from her.

in other news, navy is obsessed with Avatar and won't let me call her anything but Jake Sully (the main character). i made her a long black braid out of yarn that she has had clipped into her hair for almost a week now!

brian left this morning to go to Ventura, CA for the next 2 weeks or so to work with a clothing company out there called Neff www.neffheadwear.com . so navy and i will be going to visit my parents while he is away. we can't wait! i have been trying to invite myself up to visit them for the last 3 months and finally they have accepted!!! haha!

we all went to a break dance battle the other night and navy was set on dancing. she talked about it all afternoon. first she wanted to dance to lady gaga's song Telephone cuz she loves the music video (i know totally inappropriate but it is current fave. she is always saying "you've been a very very bad girl gaga.") but she settled for single ladies since she knows some of the moves. so she got one of her favorite people in the world Kaitlyn (who also happens to be a hip-hop dance teacher) to go up with her (cuz you know there was no way i was gonna dance in front of 200 people). anyways she did great but only got a few moves out! she loved it and all the attention she got from people when the battle was over. i'm proud of her! i think most 3 year olds would be freaked out of all the people and yelling and cheering, but not navy. i guess when you grow up watching your daddy on stage, it becomes second nature! too cute!

march 2010

we are loving rexburg now that the weather is getting a little bit less freezing. i won't say it is getting warm cuz that would definitely be an exaggeration. it is getting less freezing though. we have been going to the park, on lots of bike rides and walks and just enjoying being outside for a little while each day. life is good! brian started a blog a while ago and he actually updates his so everyone should check it out. he usually just posts work and art related things but it is still good. www.too-legitimate.blogspot.com so here are some recent pictures of life in rexburg.

i gave navy a little haircut.
navy wanted my bra on under clothes. hahaha!
brian gave her a tatoo. she wanted a rose.
don't worry though...we were very careful to explain to her that pretend tatoos are ok but that real ones are not. she seemed ok with it.
navy at a show. it is her absolute favorite thing to do. she thinks that all our friends are her BEST friends (especially corine and preston) and just loves to get out and dance and sing and socialize. she definitely takes after brian.

also last month nicole came to rexburg to visit and it was so great. i wish i had gotten some pictures. i was sad for like a week after she left cuz i just wished we could live by each other and go to lunch and walmart together everyday. maybe someday we can. we're lucky that brian can work from anywhere. should we move to reno when he is done with school? navy is still talking about her best friend nicole and her little tiny cutest dog in the whole wide world Dottie.
