The guys had a great day at the beach. We got a couple of hours of beach volleyball in and did some pretty cool body surfing in the high waves.



Dan and Shane recover from a long day in the sun.

Ah my sweet "Mama" Kelli. Mama is my new nickname for her. We are 22 weeks pregnant this week. We are almost 5 months through the pregnancy! Only 4 months to go before Little Morgan Sue joins us. We need your help. Do you like Morgan or Morgen?

We had an awesome day at Manhattan Beach with our friends Phil and Emily Keith. We always have fun when we go to the beach with them. Standing next to me though, it's obvious that Phil needs to work on his tan. We are excited to take Morgan on her first trip to the beach next year!

Aren't we two cute couples? We had a great day at the beach including a restful day in the sun, dinner at a local Manhattan Beach pizzaria and we finished the day off with a hot Starbucks while watching the sun set on the pier.

In 2004 we had an amazing trip to the City of Brotherly Love....and the home of the Eagles! Shane got a field level visit of Lincoln Financial Field.(This was the year the Eagles made it to the Super Bowl.) Kelli got to munch on an authentic Philly cheese steak sandwich and Shane got a history lesson in front of the Liberty Bell. It was a great trip!

I wish I could tell you where and when this photo was taken. I can't remember! It's just a good photo of the two of us. My wife is so beautiful!

WE ARE HAVING A LITTLE BABY GIRL!!!!! Say hello to little Morgan Sue Trowbridge!!!! As of June 2nd, she weighs 8 ounces. In this ultra-sound image she is actually turned on her side looking at you. What you are seeing is actually her beautiful little face. When this image was being taken she actually reached her hand up and wiggled her fingers. I think she was saying hello to us.

Here is our little daughter! She likes to suck her thumb which is actually normal for this stage of the pregnancy. She can't wait to come out and visit everyone.

Mommy and little baby Morgan Sue enjoy the sunshine at a park near our house. The doctors told us that Morgan is very active in the womb. During the ultra-sound it was very hard to determine if she was a boy or a girl because she was squirming around alot.

TROWBRIDGE PREG-O-METER!!

Today is June 2nd 2006. Kelli is 18 weeks pregnant and her belly is getting bigger.

Our little buddy Dylan (son of our friends Jared and Ellie) just turned one. Here Auntie Kelli gets a little practice of her own. It won't be long that Dylan will have a new friend to play with!!

Shane's friend Jeff from Muncie Indiana, made a visit to Los Angeles. He got to see all sides of LA: the beach, the nightlife, the city.......and paintballing in the rolling hills of Castaic.

Our friends Dave and Sarah Hummel moved away! They moved to Virginia Beach, VA. Here we are with Dave and Sarah at their going away party.

ARCHIVAL PHOTOS: New York 2004- Kelli and Shane had an amazing vacation to the Big Apple. Here Shane conquers Central Park. Lady Liberty....with some green statue behind her, the name escapes me. Shane and Kelli in busy Times Square. New York was incredible and we had a great time. If you ever go, take comfortable walking shoes and don't forget to try the pizza!

Big news from Kelli and Shane Trowbridge!! We are having a baby! The baby is due November 1st. We are so excited to share our exciting news with you. Keep us and the baby in your prayers.

This week we had our first ultrasound. Here is the baby at 8 1/2 weeks! Shane did his own rendition of the ultrasound image so that you can see what the baby looks like.

Kelli and I really enjoyed our time in Puerto Vallarta. Here we are enjoying some fun in the sun and a romantic ocean side dinner.

We spent an amazing week in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with Kelli's family. Kelli is here eating a Mexican dinner with her parents Kent and Sue, her brother Kevin and his wife Leslie. Shane, Kent and Sue spent an incredible day riding ATV's through the cobblestone streets of Mexico and through the dirty back roads of the near by villages.

The scenery in Puerto Vallarta was amazing. This was the view from our room. Shane attempts to capture a ship in a bottle to take home as a souvenir.

Our friend Ellie just turned the Big 3-0. We celebrated by hosting a 7o's party at our house. Here are the girls dressed for the occasion and the fellas showing off our cool disco digs!

We got to spend a nice relaxing weekend in Laguna Beach with Kelli's Uncle Mike. It was unusually chilly this day. This was our annual tax weekend where Uncle Mike helps us with our taxes.

Kelli and I hope that 2006 has been a blessing to you so far and that the rest of the year has amazing things in store for you.

We miss you all and hope that you enjoy spending some time in our lives through our blog.

You can leave comments under each photo. We would love to hear from you!!

Our friend Noriko took these photos for us at the wedding of our friends. The wedding was in the Santa Monica Mountains just west of LA near Malibu. It was so beautiful.

Come to think of it, Kelli is so beautiful too!

Here we are in early March with our dear friends Jared and Ellie Doud. We were attending the wedding of our friends Melanie and Isaac Bame.
Jared and Ellie have been great friends of ours now for almost 6 years! Wow how time flies! They are actually from Ohio.

They have a little son, Dylan, who was too busy to attend the wedding.

Shane recently got to meet Magic Johnson at the Magic Johnson 24 Hour Fitness gym that Shane and Kelli work out at.

Shane schooled Magic in one on one and had to settle for a photo!!

Kelli and Shane picking out some juicy tomatos...or is it tomatoes? Where's Dan Quayle when you need him?

Kelli with our friends Lauren and Mark. We spent Saturday morning at the Farmer's Market in Santa Monica.

Mark and Shane in front of the TARDIS! The convention was a lot of fun. We spent 3 days at the Los Angeles Airport Marriott Hotel. If you're a fan of any sci-fi shows or movies, this is the place to be.

Shane and friends at the 2006 Doctor Who convention. I'm not the only nerd in town! It was fun to have friends to go to the convention with this year!
