My Only Female Cousin:

This is Christian's only Female cousin Brea. They were both at Nana's house this sumer and had so much fun! We love you Brea!

First Snow!

Yesterday Christian got to go out and play in the first Snow (aka "Tow") of the season. He thought it was funny when he got a face full, and even kept playing after doing a face plant. 

He looks cute and sweet in these pictures, but what you aren't seeing is when we went inside and he threw a two-hour fit because he wanted to keep his Bob the Builder boots on and go back out. Grandma said that Jason was the same way when he was little. Like father like son I guess.

Clark on the other hand, only lasted abut 15 seconds before he ran back to the house. Now Christian is obsessed with letting Clark out to go potty every chance he gets so that he can step in the snow- even if he doesn't have shoes on.

Oh, and Nana- thanks for giving Christian his gloves before Christmas... they came in handy (get it? HANDy!)

How to make a baby laugh.

So why is Ike so happy in this picture?? Christian is tickling his feet. 

I am so proud of Christian when Ike comes over:

-He leaves him alone for the most part (I told him to tickle his feet, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered him).

-He shares toys with Ike (as long as they aren't his trucks).

-He lets Ike sit on one side of mommy's lap while reading books.

-He tells mommy when Ike is crying and lets me know I should pick him up.

-He will play peek-a-boo when Ike is waiting for a bottle.

All in all, I think Christian is going to be a great big brother.... of course, Ike does go home at the end of the day!

So, I am sure you have noticed the multiple posts in one day. I thought that I was a little excessive until I saw a blog of this guy who posted like 20 times a day and took pictures of EVERYTHING. So, I am sure you will forgive me for catching up and taking dang cute pictures of Christian and the other boys.

Chores...

Gee Brittany, why don't you ever get anything done around the house??? What do you do all day? Well, for those curious people who wonder what stay-at -home moms do all day, here is your answer. Or at least it explains why it takes all day to do one load of laundry!

Pornographic Images!!

I just wanted to make sure everybody knows that we are having a boy, so I am posting some "all boy" pictures of the baby. All I know is that if this baby is a girl, she's got some big problems.

Here is the thing, we still haven't picked a name. That normally isn't a big deal since we still have 3 months to decide, but it is very hard to choose a name when people are constantly giving their negative opinions of our current choices.

In other words: WHEN SOMEONE SUGGESTS A NAME FOR THEIR CHILD, JUST SMILE, NOD, AND SAY "THAT SOUNDS GREAT!" Obviously if it is a name we are considering, we don't want to hear that you hate it. Just keep your negative opinions to yourself. Thank you for your consideration. 

Oh, and sorry about the porn. 

No, he is not potty trained:

This is the reason that Christian is not potty trained I am pretty sure he is peeing his pants every time he gets tickled. So I guess I will start potty training him when he is a miserable and unhappy child. Until then, Nana will just have to keep visiting and changing diapers! 

Turkey Day

So, let me just tell you... Thanksgiving was a lot of fun this year. The food was great and it was fun to be with family for the holiday. 

Our hostess Kathy is completely insane. We played bingo, and she had a lot of great prizes, but instead of stopping when the prizes were gone, she went upstairs to get more. While she was searching, Karen grabbed things from around the house to stick on the prize table as a joke. When Kathy came back, she just kept them there and let people take them home. Crazy family! Christian said "Fun this house." I agree! Even Jason had fun watching football and playing video games.

Elf Fun!

So, this weekend we dressed up the whole family and shot the cutest video. Check it out by clicking this link:

Thanks Marge for the fun idea!

My husband is a terrible liar!

So, Jason's side of the family was over a couple of Sundays ago, and Jace and Christian came upstairs with Christian's umbrella completely destroyed. So, I got mad at the boys, then I hollered downstairs and told Jason that he needed to watch them better so that they wouldn't ruin the toys. Jason said: "I didn't even know they were breaking it." Then, when I was checking my pictures on my camera, I found this little video- that Jason shot. Jason, if you are going to lie about something, make sure you delete the evidence first. (Oh, and it is our little boy who screams like a girl, he learned that from Jason too!)

Santa Pictures

So we went to my Aunts Scrapbook store to get Santa pictures a couple of weeks ago. I will give you the highlights (and a sneak peak of the pictures!):
-We had to literally hit ourselves in the head to get Christian to smile.
-He walked up to Santa and said "Yofty" then wanted to go home. (Lofty (aka Yofty) is the truch he wants for Christmas.
-We brought Clark and tortured him by ting a bow around his neck.
-The picture with me looks like I am going to vomit. The photographer was really nice and is going to refund my money. (Her name is Joanne and she is really nice to picky pregnant women!)
-We found out christian wants Lofty and Travis. The two hardest Bob the Builder trucks to find. Wish us luck!
-Every little boy at he photo shoot had the same outfit because only one store stocks Christmas clothes at the end of September.
-We still love Christmas... even though we have to get dressed up and sit on some old guys lap. (actually, he is a dang cute Santa).

Sweet Baby

Isn't he adorable! And just look how flexable he is. Those are his legs over his head.

Just incase any of you were wondering why I am so "huge," "cute," "popping out," or any other cliche pregnant comment you can throw at me. (No, I'm not bitter... why would I be bitter after being called "big" 14 times a day??)

Anyway, here is the new one. He is due March 3rd, but I will hopefully be induced a week early. Let me go ahead and answer some of the questions you just might be thinking:
No, we have not chosen a name. (But our two choices are Milford and Dickie) (That's a joke).
Yes, we are excited to have another boy.
No, I wouldn't rather have a girl.
Yes, I am uncomfortable. (But it's worth it right??)

Merry Merry Merry...

So I decorated the christmas tree today. (Isn't it great!) I know what you are thinking: "It isn't even Thanksgiving yet!" Yeah well, while you are taking down all of your fall decorations and hauling the tree in, I will be eating left over pie and relaxing. Ha ha ha (or Ho ho ho- whatever).

The Reason Pregnant Women Should Wear Diapers..

So, I was painting a little truck with Christian a few days ago and I had to go to the bathroom. While I was in the bathroom I saw a bunch of laundry to throw in the washer. While I was in the laundry room I saw some trash to take out. By then I had to go to the bathroom again. So by the time I was done with that I came in and Christian had painted all over himself. It was a good day, so instead of getting in trouble, he got a lot of pictures taken of him.
He was so proud. He kept saying "yook (look) in the mirror mom." Then running into the bathroom to check out the artwork. Then running to the kitchen to add some finishing touches. I hope that paint is non toxic!

More Halloween Fun!

What??? I have the cutest kid ever? Oh, thanks! I think so too! Christian and I ran errands on Halloween, so I put his skeleton (aka Ske-ke-ton) shirt on. It really paid off, we got candy every place that we went. I got twice as many pictures of this shirt than I did his Bob costume... I guess I was in a picture-taking mood that day. Clark wasn't though. Why do dogs act so tortured when a two year old holds them?? Oh wait.. it is because they are being tortured- sorry Clarkie!

So, you will never believe this by Christian discovered a big pile of leaves at the park. It wasn't a pile for long. I am pretty sure they were dog-pee incrusted, but oh well. He ran around in them, jumped, and made it "rain" on mommy for a long time. I can't remember it being this warm and nice on Halloween... I LOVE IT!

(Since I have some space.... here is a note for the grandparents: You can click on the pictures to make them big, and then copy them to your computer. I know this is a difficult concept to understand (I am being sarcastic) but you can call me when you have problems).

Halloween!

I love Halloween because it is the one day a year that I can dress up however I want and everybody thinks it is great. I am pretty sure in my next life I am going to be a Disney princess, but for now, I will have to settle for dressing up my kids. And yes, I already have the costumes planned for next year.
We carved pumpkins at Grandma and Grandpas house the Sunday before. Um yes, we are the type of responsible parents that let our 2 year old use sharp objects. (If you think that is bad, you should have seen the sparklers on the 4th of July). Great Grandma was there form California, and I realized I have never taken a picture of her and Christian. So I convinced her to stand in the picture, pretty cute huh??
The Day before Halloween Aunt Holly had a birthday party and Christian loved using his Bob the Builder toolbelt (aka seat buckle) to saw through the rolls and "fix" everybodys shoes. I can't believe he wasn't that excited about his rabbit costume last year. Here is the deal though... I only got 1 good picture of him in the Bob costume. So if anyone has some from the party... let me know. Isn't my pumpkin awesome?? Who knew marjorie was such a good artist! After seeing Jasons pumpkin, I knew that I did not want him painting my stomach! Thanks Marge!
On Halloween we also went to Jennys party and trick or treating. Christian was so cute saying trick or treat and hoarding hte candy. What a fun age... sometimes!

San Diego Cont...

Then we went to Legoland (aka yego yand). Christian rode the coaster there about 8 times. I wish I would have broken down and spent the 13 bucks on the picture. Aaaahhh, regrets. It is insane wat people can build out of legos, and I thought my little square houses were cool! Does anyone know if they make Lego glue that won't poison my children?
As if we didn't walk around enough, we went to the San Diego Zoo the next day. That place is massive, we decided to skip half of the animals and took the sky tram outta there. Christians favorite animal was the goat. That's right, we take him all the way to California to a famous zoo and he likes the freaking goat! I think next time we will skip the zoo and spend another day in Disneyland.

San Diego

So where do I start. I have over 4000 pictures on my computer, plus all of the ones that were on my old computer.... hmmm. well, I will start with our trip to San Diego since I haven't started scrapbooking it. Maybe when #2 is born I can do some comparitive pictures or something.
Christian was so excited to ride on a plane, but that got old in about 10 minutes, so it seemed like a long trip. We went stayed at an awesome hotel right on Pacific Beach- free continental breakfast anyone??
The First day we went to Sea World. Christian fed the dolphins and the sea lions. He pretty much cried through all of the shows- 25 minutes of whales splashing around is a lot for a 2 year old to go through.
The second day, we went to Disneyland. Do I even need to day that this was the highlight of our trip?? Christian discovered roller coasters, he loves them! It really is the happiest place on earth. It was so cut all decorated for Halloween.

Big Fat Sell Out!

Okay, so I am starting a blog. It is Marjorie's fault! Ike's blog is so fun to read, and since nobody actually looks at my scrapbooks, I am starting my own. So there.
So my first picture will be my blog inspiration: Ike.
The second one is Christian being jealous of "Baby Aak" and wanting me to take the same picture.
Man, 2 years sure does make a big difference!
