Merry Christmas!

My baby Christmas morning with his new sock monkey( and in his SIX month jammies)
David really excited to be awake at 730 :)




Grey got a new hat- wont be able to wear that for a while longer!



man I love that face!









Buddy before his 2 month appt yesterday(minus the hat) Daddy got him dressed.

He weighed 13.7 lbs and is in the 90th percentile for weight and 75th for height.

He took his shots like a champ and broke his momma's heart, but he was just fine after we could pick him up .

He is smiling more and more each day and seriously I can not contain my love for this kid. He has slept six hours straight just two nights, but hey i'll take it! His average is 3-4 hours at a time throught out the night though. He is getting really good at holding his head up, and has looooved his swing these past few weeks. The other day I had to buy size 2 diapers for my growing boy. Yesterday at church I was in the mother's lounge and a lady had her 4 day old baby in there. I was amazed by how itty bitty he was and in that moment I realized just how much my baby has grown. He's no longer a fresh little new born, and I'm okay with that. I love seeing my boy grow. I am so looking forward to each and every milestone of his. He has already made me such a proud momma. I love him. I really really love him.

One Month!


My Angel is ONE month old today. Can I believe it?! suure cant. I love him more and more each day and I still cant believe he's ours. forever. I just recently got to see some of his sweet baby pictures taken by my SIL at 2 weeks and to see how much he has changed in just two weeks is just crazy. At one month old he is eating every 2-3 hours still, loves to be patted on the bum, has the sweetest, most adorable bed head when he gets up in the morning, can stay awake anywhere from 2-4 hours at a time, he loves rock music ( if he is fussy almost always a good playlist on daddy's ipad will put him right to sleep) - today was his first Sunday to go to church and on our way home he decided he was going to CRY. It lasted a couple minutes until a Stone Temple Pilot song came on ( probably not the most appropriate sunday music, but it did the job) and silence. He went straight to sleep. Also at a month old he has grown out of his newborn clothes, he is so alert and will follow us with his eyes if we move from side to side while holding him. He still loves tummy time and is really good at lifting his head up and looking around. OH and I almost forgot, he is getting cuter and cuter every single day! Here are a couple pictures from the past few weeks!






I hope you dont mind Alisha- Its a sneak peak of his baby pics. These are unedited pics. More to come!

Thankfuls 1-19

and I'll go ahead and say 20-30 too..



MY BOY.




Dont get me wrong I have so so much more to be grateful for, but since October 27th he's been my number one.


our first family picture


I love this kid more than I thought I would,more than I thought I could.Since coming home three weeks ago we've just been trying to figure each other out. So far I know my babe loves the bath, loves going on walks and riding in the car, he likes when mom sings along to his Bob Marley CD, He is a nightowl like his dad, he loves his tummy time, he's an eater- almost weighs 10 lbs already,and he is loved more than he could possibly know. I wont even lie and say these past three weeks of being a mom have been easy, I have been frustrated to tears on several occassions, and been a walking zombie some days, but I wouldnt trade it for anything. He made me a mom.












Just laughed to myself when i realized Marley is in three of those pics- shes still pretty curious

Ishould make that into my BOYS that I am grateful for. David is such an amazing dad to Grey. He absolutley adores him, and i know he will only be more and more involved as he gets older( theres only so much ol dad can do right now)


I'll try to keep ya updated on here because he is changing so fast, too fast!!

three years today!

I've come to the conclusion that I am THAT blogger. I only blog when I have something real juicy or cute pictures to post. I've been thinking about blogging for a while now, I really do have lots to say but the one thing thats been on my mind is David. Every way I think of taking this post makes a lump rise in my throat and i want to cry my eyes out. I want to tell you about how much i love David and how the past three years have been awesome and i want to tell you about the past 25 wks of being pregnant with our first baby have been so special or that last week he was able to feel his son kick for the first time. I'm pretty much 100% sure that this is my wack hormones or maybe I just really love husband to death. okay, so its both! Today is our 3 year Anniversary! You might ask " what awesome plans do you have?" That would be none and for the first time I'm sooo okay with that. Does that happen? The longer youre married the less you care about fancy gifts and romantic dinners? I am perfectly happy with a night in. I did get him a little gift and I did buy him a small container of moose tracks ice cream (his fav). I'm good.


Happy Anniversary, David!






I love that kid


This post was really about David and how much I adore him, but I have to add that at 25 wks pregnant baby boy is kicking A LOT! However, the only two people to feel him so far are David and my sis in law, Stefanie. I guess he's being bashful. We still have so much to do to get ready for this little guy. Just about the only thing I have done is about the only thing im good at, buying him clothes. Sometimes I just go into his room and sit on the floor and go through all the little clothes we have for him so far. I read the books that one day soon i'll read to him and I smile because I can not wait for him to be here with us. He's already sooo loved. I'll leave you with a baby bump pic. I kinda wish I had posted some when I was still little and cute haha, but there is no hiding this baby.

a whole lot of lately and Something to celebrate

Can I try to catch you up on us lately? I hope you dont think our lives are boring and uneventful because I never blog because they are most definitely full of fun and adventure. haha. okay sometimes they are boring, but I'll try to leave those parts out!





Tuesday David turned 26 years old! We had a little family celebration on Sunday at my parents where we ate his requested dinner of pork tenderloin and new red potatoes and chocolate bundt birthday cake. Then on his actual birthday he had to work so when he got off I had a little present for him plus i stocked the fridge with fav diet soda and bought mint chocolate chip skinny cow sandwhiches. Then we went to outback for dinner. It seems he is always craving a bloomin' onion!




aw :)


Something else we are sooo looking forward to celebrating it our three year anniversary which will be this July. David has a work meeting in Cancun next month and I am stoked to be able to tag along! David's worried I will be bored around the resort while he's in meetings during the day, I told him I thought I will be juuust fine :)


This one isnt so much something I am celebrating even though I am so thrilled its almost summer, but this is my last year with a family I have grown to love and learn so much from. This job came along at a time that I really needed it, and I hope in some way I was able to touch their lives like they have mine. I would never dare say I think I'm completely prepared to have my own children, but I feel better prepared after the past two years with this sweet family. These are just a couple pictures of a day the two youngests and I went to the park.



Arent they such charming children? haha They really are the best.



I bet those of you who know our big news thought this post was going to start off a little different, but I have saved the best for last! Indeed David and I are expecting our first baby! Most definitely something to celebrate. I am 16 wks already. Time is seriously going by so fast. I have a doctor's appointment Monday and then the next time I go in will be to find out the gender of the baby! Sorry no pictures. I have some on my phone, but dont know how to upload them onto my laptop. Next time I will. promise.



Where you wondering how our baby girls were doin? Well let me leave you with some sweet faces courtesy of Marley and Shiloh...

SNOW WAY!

I updated! It's probably a bad sign that it took me a couple tries to get on this thing because i couldnt remember my password! I just got home from the gym, davids at a chuch meeting and I just felt the need to post some fun pictures ( Yes i do get the urge to update when something cool has happened but as you can tell actually doing it is a totally different thing!) I love pictures. I love posts with pictures. Sometimes i jUst skip the words and go straight to the pictures. They tell the story best. So here's our backwards story of the past month or so. Literally the pictures are backwards in sequence. Dunno how to fix it so here it goes...




National Champs!

These first set of snow pictures are from monday. We had so so much fun. The boys got the four wheelers out and us girls and kids went sledding down a monster hill on cookie sheets.


This. did. not. work.















I love this picture. Dont you?!





These ones here are from Christmas day. Can you tell Marley looooves the snow?


And that I loooove my hubby :)







Our home Christmas morning.
Yes, halfway through this post I DID think " this is a lot of pictures" but then i just couldnt make myself delete any! so there.
