Christmas fun:)

I have decided after the Christmas festivities are almost over for this year that I LOVE CHRISTMAS once again! Don't get me wrong, it's always been great. But having a child just makes it a whole new experience again. Seeing everything through his eyes....wow....how fun.

Shoveling with dad

Tim's first "playing in the snow" experience was today! We bundled him up and sent him out to shovel with dad! He LOVED it:) I went out only to take pictures bc I decided it was a little too cold for me, but Tim didn't want to come in! I guess he takes after Steve in yet another area! (his ability to stay warm) Here are some pictures, sorry he isn't looking for any of them! He was consentrating way too hard to have time to look at me.

*****sorry i started this post more than a week ago. I finally uploaded the pics, so it's a little outdated.....but new all the same!:)

NOVEMBER!

Dinnertime! spagetti rocks!

timmy being his cute self!

Steve and Timmy chillin' on Thanksgiving Day at Aunt Esther's house

Someone wants to be just like his daddy?! (matching sweatshirts, hats and of course cereal!)

the newest fetish: SHOES! (honestly, he didn't get it from his mom...anyone who knows me well knows that that is true...so where did it come from? STEVE?! )

Once again and daddy wannabe

wow! how time flies! I have been getting quite a few "reminders" lately to update my blog. As I signed into my account I noticed that the last time I updated was Nov. 7! WOW. I guess it is more than time and I should have plenty to write about.

November was filled with business as usual: My dad's birthday and Steve's birthday, lots of hunting, plenty of hair to do. Timmy and I did a lot of time with Grandpa and Grandma this month because of Steve's hunting hobby, which was a lot of fun!:)

Update on the new addition: still no sign of it wanting to come out, but I have only 4 weeks until my due date and the dr. promised not to make me go overdue. (you better believe i will hold her to that!!!) I am not sure if this is how it went for all moms with their second baby, but I have nothing really ready for this next bambino. So, it does seem a little crazy that i am in such a hurry for it to come. I will have to work on that this week.

I only have 3 more weeks left at David and Company! It is so bittersweet because i am very excited to be able to stay home with my babies, but I have worked there for 10 years! I cannot even comprehend not going back! The good news is my boss said if I changed my mind he would take me back!:) So, it's not like I am being kicked out!!

Our Christmas tree is up. It is VERY sparse this year for 2 reasons: one, so it is easier to take down and two, because timmy not a very good observer. he's more of a hands on type of guy. We're going to have to work on that! You know it's bad when he walks toward the tree saying, "no no no Timmy". (think he's heard that a few times?)

Ok, i feel like that is all the rambling about my life I can possibly do. There's your update people!! (Maybe i will try it again soon!:) love you mom.....and sherri!)

pregnancy

hmm......can i really complain about something that is a gift and creates the most beautiful miracles ever?! yup. man! i have 50 days to go and i can hardly take it anymore. I really truly wish i was one of those women who thought that pregnancy was the best part of her life....really! but that is so not true for me! Does that make me a terrible woman? ANYWAY.....sorry baby, if someday in the future you find this blog about you, but i promise to love you more on the outside!
On a brighter note.....my parents are awesome! Thanks for coming and saving me from boredom today! Timmy and I both appreciate the company on these long weekends of no daddy/husband. OH! and for checking my mouse traps! what would i do without you!
As i read this post over, i have no idea why i am about to most it on the internet for everyone to read, but that's the cool thing to do now right?! so i am telling myself i am cool.....and now am hopping into bed. (at 8:45!) yes, that makes me cool too!

i love my daddy.

I am sure most moms feel this way, but I just LOVE when my little boy copies his daddy! It is so fun to watch. Probably because I married his dad for a reason and for my baby to be just like him.....minus a few TINY flaws:) (sorry steve)......is just the cutest thing ever. Here is a little taste of what I get to watch and enjoy everyday. Hopefully it makes you smile too!

new to this, please don't judge!:)

Here you go mom! Merry Christmas early! Thank you to all my cousins who have gone before me and made cute little blogs with fun pictures and stories of your kids, because now my mom seems to think our family needs to have one too! And while I learn quickly, i don't love learning new things on the computer......that really do in the end make my life easier. (like downloading pictures, setting up blogs, etc.)

ANYWAY, i figured i would post a few pictures of our little "turkey" from Halloween for my debut blog!:) We will see where it goes from there!
