Happy Shower Gavin and Andrea!

A few weeks ago we had a Los Alamos Baby Shower for Andrea and Gavin. Amy arranged a great lunch at Dos Carlitos for us, YUMMY! It was so great, lots of good food, great presents and baby talk. Thanks girls, and Britton, for a great day and good luck to the Babcocks...Gavin will be here soon!

Super Bowl, sneaks!

Have we got our hands full! We went to a friends house for Super Bowl Sunday with some couples who had kids as well. All the kids had a great time together, watching the game, "sharing" food with one another and playing. We were trying to give them some space to roam, but it got a little too quite and we began "looking" for them. Not to worry, they were around the corner attempting to steel beer from the cooler! High School is going to be fun!

Happy Dirty Thirty Linds!

Finally, Jeff and I were able to get a night out! It seems that we have been so busy, since, well forever! It was Lindsay's Dirty Thirty birthday and Bryan...attempted to surprise her with a getaway weekend. You'll notice I said, attempted, because she found out about the weekend by a text someone sent her at the beginning of the week, asking if "she was going to Lindsay's surprise party this weekend" HA! Guess it helps when you read the last name of your Lindsay's ;) She was nice about it and wouldn't tell who spilled the beans, especially because Bryan was going to "punch them in the face"! But we all had a great time, some more than others, and they paid for it later. We went to the Cliffs for dinner and drinks/dancing and had a great time!

Not only was this our first night out in a long time, but it was Aiden's first overnight at Nona's house. I think she was more worried about it than anyone, as she has not had a baby all night in a long time...You'll do fine, I told her, and they did. Aiden slept thru the night, not surprising he has for 10 months now, but Nona was sure surprised. She "never had a kid as good as him". Thanks mom for that, and thanks for the night out!

Bret was AMAZING!

The Haley Family...Happy Birthday Linds and Bryan!

Jeff and I, yes, he's a little "wide-eyed"

Snow Days

A few weeks ago after all the rain and cold, we finally got some snow on Fig! Snow happens every year, I think, but not as much as this. We woke up and decided to head up...we weren't alone. I think everyone in the Valley had the same idea, which was great. We saw old and new friends. Being that we live here, and never get snow; Aiden didn't have any snow clothes, but we improvised. He loved it! He would eat it, dont' worry there wasn't any yellow snow. He even had a snowball fight with dad!

Yummy!

Two pink lines...or are they blue?

Yup, come August 4th (or so) Aiden will be a BIG Brother! We are so excited and Aiden has NO idea what's about to change in his perfect little world. HA! Although, he's small enough where he wont even remember being an only child ;) They will be approx. 22 months apart.

We can't say we were surprised to find out we were pregnant, but we were surprised at how fast we were pregnant! WOW! We had thought about it, and said okay in a month or two but little did we know I already was pg!

I found out the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and told Jeff that night, well Aiden told Jeff that night. I had felt a little sore that morning and had one old random test so I took it, got in the shower, finished my morning routine and got in the car. I had totally forgot to look at the test because I KNEW I was lame to even take it, as there was NO WAY I was pg, but I didn't want Jeff coming home to a pg test, so I got back out of the car and ran into the bathroom. WHAT? Really? It was positive! I figured the test was old or something and went to work. I couldn't stop thinking about it so I ran to Rite-Aid and bought a few more. Took some at work and they were postive too! This could not be, but it was and I've been sick everyday to prove it! ;)

Yes, I am one of the lucky ones who is sick just about everyday, not just for 12 weeks but for 8-9 months! I have good days and bad, and this time they have mostly been bad. Jeff says they are the same as with Aiden, and I just chose not to remember but I don't know. Thanks to my only other sick friend, Brooke, I am taking some meds that work for the most part, but don't solve the problem. It's a daily ritual I have come to expect, as unfortunate as that is. But no matter what it's all worth it in the end!

The Princess and the Frog

Well Aiden went to his first movie this past weekend, The Princess and the Frog. I thought mom and Moe-pa were crazy for wanting to take him but they insisted. They called a hour later to take Jeff and I to lunch. HA! But he LOVED it for th hour he was there, he was dancing to the music, eating candy and drinking soda, all without skipping a beat.

Give it a try...

Well, everyone seemed to be doing it, so I thought I'd give it the old college try. Not sure I have the energy to keep up with all the changes, MySpace to Facebook to Blogging, but we will see. I think it's a great way to keep in touch and see what everyone is doing.
