Merry Christmas!

For the 2nd time since we have been married, Casey and I got the flu on Christmas! Casey started puking sometime early christmas morning. He was pretty much non-existent christmas day. I did keep checking on him to make sure he was still alive. He finally came out of the sick room about 8 that night...poor guy. I could feel myself getting a little sick around lunch time but Its kinda hard to tell when you are pregnant cause you are always wanting to puke....at least I am. So I didn't get really sick until that night and I am still feeling SO crappy! We were just glad that we had decided to sleep over at my parents, they were a huge help with Hundley and the two sicklys. Hundley LOVES christmas. He wasn't as good at opening the presents as he was last year but he was in heaven playing with all his new toys. among his favorites are his new vacuum, a doodle board, a puzzle with doors that lock and a keyboard that he hasn't had much time to play with because his cousins and Grandpa think it's awesome too. He just wouldn't stop playing with one thing to open another.

Black Friday,Thanksgiving & baby#2

Yes I ventured out early this morning with my sis and cousins Kayla and Risa. Last year was our first black Friday experience, and although I was frightened for our lives for a brief moment in Walmart, I decided I could take any one down with the help of my raging hormones! That's right...for those of you who don't already know, My ego is prego. I am due June 8th and this was no accident, although I have questioned my own judgment on the decision. Its funny how quickly you forget the misery of the 1st trimester. I have been sick and cranky and unbelievably miserable. Hundley hasn't been much help and he cries every time I hold a baby so this should be lots of fun:) Casey however has been so great and helpful while I lie on the couch and shout out orders. He actually asked me who I thought this pregnancy has been harder on, me or him. Can you believe the nerve? Anyways, no incidences this morning with the shopping except for we left our mcdonalds food in the car while we went in to the mall and when we got back in me and Abby both were puking out the window from the smell. SICK. Oh and thanksgiving was great at grandma petes. I just had cheeseball, crackers and veggie tray. I hate food. And food hates me. We just aren't getting along like we used to. No Pics cause my camera is ready for retirement. Hopefully Santa will bring me a new one!

The Haircut!!

We finally went through with the great and dreaded haircut. I know there are many against cutting off the blond curls but there were also many pro-haircut fans. It was a hard decision but when it came down to it, I was done trying to comb that frizz-mop. I like the results....hope you do too!

Summer catch up

The Fair

Island Park

We just spent a week in Island Park. Hunders loved the great outdoors...lots of bike rides, four wheelin and floating rivers. We did spend one day in the trailer watching movies and cleaning up all Hundleys barf clothes in the river. Ya he had the flu, poor guy. Then we got home and I had the flu/strep throat/ear infection...so that was lovely.
We also have a pic of Justin and Hundley cuddling during nap time, Hundley watering our grass which he thinks is the greatest thing ever next to "Butt Ball". We think that means basketball although that and grandpa sound the same. He can also learned to say eyes when he was sick and I had to clean out his eyes every morning. Oh and he likes to tell you "get" when he wants you to get his bottle. The latest and greatest news is that he now sleeps in his crib ALL night!! Meaning I am sleeping through the night now!! Hooray!

 

More Beach and DisneyLand

The Beach

We made it out of Vegas a day later and to oceanside FINALLY! Grandma Pete got us an awesome beach house with 10 bed 10 bath and 3 decks....2 hot tubs and awesome views! Hundley loves the ocean....runs into it the second you set him down. He even got knocked down by a huge wave the first time but he didn't hesitate to get back in.

Stranded in Vegas

Well at the moment we are stuck in Sin City. On our way to Cali...G-ma's burb broke down last night. Hundley had finally fallen asleep and we were good to drive on thru but the burb suddenly lost power and quit on us. Me, Hundley, Tarin and Kyle walked in the hottness of North las Vegas to the Holiday Inn and here we sit, waiting to hear if they fixed the burb or if we need to get a rental! The news just reported a heat wave so I sure am glad this happened in Vegas instead of the middle of death valley!

1st B-day

Not a huge fan of cake but loved the ice cream cone...dipped in rocks. The spoiled kid got a basketball hoop, a fourwheeler, a dump truck,a pool, books and balls and all sorts of toys. Yet he came home and still rolled my excersize ball around the house! He does love his new toys though. Thanks for all the presents! In the past few weeks the little stink has ran out the door and almost to the raod, ran out into the middle of his dads ball game, fell off my bed twice, fell off the fourwheeler, dumped kool-aid all over the kitchen....oh wait, that was payton....anyways he is a handfull!

Budgeted Kitchen Remodel!

OK. so the first one is supposed to be the before...even though the paint and floors were already changed.....whoops. We painted our top cabinets white, the bottom brown, added new hardware, a new countertop and sink(an awesome sink I found for a whopping 20 bucks!)new faucet and backsplash plus we added some stainless steel open shelving. I still plan to paint the table but we need a break from projects for the moment.

summer catch up

Cherry Hills, Fathers Day, Abbys back yard playing, fireworks and Hundleys B-day.

Happiness #5

Floating......man this is the life. I love love love just chillin on my floaty in the pool or a lake/river/whatever. This is So my happy place.

Pursuit of happiness day 4

The #4 thing that makes me happy is my job....or lack thereof. I love staying home, taking care of my crazy boy and trying to keep up on laundry. I'm not saying its easy cuz its at least 10 times harder than I thought it would be. I always thought that once I didn't have to work my house would be clean 24/7. Dinner would be on the table at 6 and life would be just peachy! Wrong! Still love it though! I wanna give a shout out to my hubby for letting me stay at home with our lil' guy! luv' you honey!
