HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I KNOW ITS BEEN FOREVER SINCE I'VE POSTED ANYTHING SO I HAVE ALOT TO CATCH UP ON BUT FOR NOW LETS HAVE A LITTLE REVIEW OF SOME THINGS THAT WENT ON IN '09 sorry no pics :/ WITH HAVING A BABY AND GOING THROUGH 'THE FIRST YEAR' IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS YEAR HAS FLOWN BY!
GREY- WAS BORN, GOT TEETH, A FIRST HAIRCUT, ROLLED OVER, SAT UP, ENJOYED SOLID FOODS, STARTED CRAWLING AND WALKING (in the same day), SAID HIS FIRST WORDS, AND NOW CAN WALK UN-ASSISTED ALL IN WHAT SEEMED LIKE A FEW DAYS. HE IS NOW ALMOST A YEAR AND I CANT BELIEVE HOW BIG HE HAS GOTTEN!
LAW- HAS BECOME AN AMAZING BROTHER WHO LOVES TO HELP, PLAY, TALK, AND SING WITH HIS LITTLE GREY GOOSE. HE'S LEARNED SO MUCH THIS PAST YEAR; GOING TO BED WITHOUT A BINKI, DANCING, SINGING AND MEMORIZING A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT SONGS (TONIGHT'S GONNA BE A GOOD NIGHT & I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE ARE SOME OF HIS FAVORITES), TAKING NAPS W/O A BINKI, A WHOLE SLEW OF NEW WORDS (incl. some we're not so proud of :P lol), to recognize all the letters of the alphabet, counting to ten, recognize and draws some shapes, going #1 and #2 in the potty -although not fully trained, HE'S QUICKLY LEARNED THE 'RULES OF THE HOUSE' AND THAT HE DOES NOT LIKE BEING IN TIMEOUT, HE HAS CONCURRED GOING TO NURSERY WITHOUT CRYING (however he occasionally cries when we take him home!) AND ONE OF THE BEST THINGS HE HAS LEARNED HOW TO MAKE AND PLAY WITH FRIENDS!
COLE- FINISHED ANOTHER YEAR OF SCHOOL, TAUGHT MANY CONCEALED CARRY CLASSES, DODGED A FEW ROUNDS OF LAY-OFFS AT WORK, WAS PUT IN CHARGE OF SOME AWESOME PROJECTS AT WORK, HAS DONE WELL AND ACCOMPLISHED A LOT WITH HIS OWN BUSINESS, HUNTED ELK FOR THE 1ST TIME (and shot none), HAD AND HAS SOME PRETTY COOL EXPERIENCES WITH HIS CHURCH CALLING, AND HAS TAKEN ON ANOTHER NEW ROLE IN LIFE -but I don't know if I'm supposed to talk about it.
AND ME - WELL I'VE BEEN HERE FOR IT ALL :D

I'm so glad that you finally updated! I have been missing you a lot lately... Sorry I've been such a crappy friend. I can't believe that Grey is walking already! That is so crazy!

So we just found out the other day that we're expecting our second child. I don't really know what to say because it doesn't feel like a reality, I'm still trying to grasp the thought that I have one! Anyrate I am due the 6th of March which seems so far away! I am so excited! I am also struggling with tons of feelings of anxiety and some worries, like will Law feel replaced or feel I don't love him as much? Will I love them both equally? etc. etc. Did/Do any of you have worries like this? How do I help Law cope with pregnancy and a new sibling? Any advice?

I REALLY don't like it when.....

MOMS, YOUR THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS NEEDED! A few months ago I was in Walmart :P with three VERY small children. Law was being a very happy playful self -which is rare so I REALLY enjoy these moments. Not bothering anyone or anything just being happy, laughing, and playing  when an old man came around the corner and SH'd him harshly it caught him off guard he was scared and sad. I didn't do anything -not because I agreed with the man that he needed to 'SSHHH!!' but because I just didn't know what to do! I have regretted not saying something to that man ever since. We are a loud family and Law does have a big voice but he didn't need to do that it was rude and uncalled for. Today I visited that same Walmart for the first time since then and my boys were running around the cart as I was checking out -just being happy, not being destructive at all -and believe me I'd be the first to admit if they were being too rowdy -it's not uncommon. However this time, lik...

Our Trip to Texas

My eldest sister Diana moved to Texas last year with her six children who, since I spent time growing up with them, are like my little sisters and brothers! Now my other big sister Maria moved down there too! I love them all and miss them so much! Law and I had a chance to go and visit them for a whole WEEK! It was wonderful, so in this blog I am going to tell you a little bit about what we did, as well as tell you a little about my nieces, nephews and my big sisters! Since Maria was going to be moving down there she and Kennadee came to stay with us so we could all fly down together. I was so excited that someone was coming to see my new house that I went crazy cleaning everything! which didn't last long... I don't know if you can tell but those are tiny baby foot prints on my woodfloor -cute! We arrived in Austin where Diana and Aaron were waiting for us and drove to Hutto, where my two sistas now live! I love that the have water towers EVERYWHERE! We'll start with the k...
