Shopping for baby

Having a baby girl is going to do some damage to the pocketbook. The clothes for girls are SOOOOO CUTE and there is so much more of it. Larissa and I went to the Galleria today to wander around a bit. We hit two baby stores and got sucked into the pink sections!! I know my mom and aunt are both already stockpiling the pink as well. This girl is gonna be the best dressed around apparently!!

In the meantime, my little boy is still my cuddlebug. I couldn't ask for a better kid!!! He is so easy going and sweet! They say the second is opposite of the first....if that is the case we are in BIG trouble.

Larissa, Craig and Eli head back home tomorrow and Mom and Dad are gonna head home on Friday I think. Things around here are going to get very quiet very quickly. I LOVE having family around and sometimes wish we were all in the same place. Guess we could all move out to CO!!!! :)

Aaahhh.....the spa

Larissa and I took a little break from motherhood to enjoy some time at the spa. We got manicures and pedicures which were fantastic. Now a little wine with that would have topped it off....but clearly that isn't in my current cards! :) I will say that I will be booking a pregnancy massage one of these days as well!!! AAahhhh!!

The guys took care of the kids....Ty is so easy so Chad had it good but Eli gave Craig a little more of a challenge! By the time we walked in the door Eli was screaming. Needless to say I think Craig needed a stiff drink by then!

(Yet another pic of the matching jammies!!!)

Twas the Day After Xmas...

and we spent it recovering!! The boys played with their toys...including Chad and Craig with the new videos games!! Jim & Bren brought the kids over for dinner and Eva and Ty had a BLAST in the bouncy house. Talk about being the cool house on the block...hee hee....I would have LOVED one of those as a kid!! I think Tyler is enjoying having his cousin around too. Here's a good pic of them playing!!!

Merry Xmas

Merry Xmas everyone!!! We had a fabulous day filled with family, food, gifts, love and of course chaos!!! Nothing like opening presents with a 2 1/2 year old and a 16 month old. Santa brought Tyler a bouncy house (which is so cool!!!) and plenty of other FUN things (including a new tricycle)!! Eli got some Elmo stuff and trucks. All in all the boys received a successful haul!!!

Notice the cousins have matching jammies...these are from Great-Aunt Val and Grandma just bought a bunch of matching clothes for Xmas. Stylin' guys!!! :)

Xmas Pic

So this is the picture I put on our Xmas cards. I love this sweater but it cracks me up cause Ty thinks its like a jacket and keeps taking it off whenever we arrive somewhere. Somehow I have to convince him that you wear it like a shirt!!!!

Old Pics

I was looking through some old pics today of Tyler and thought I would throw some on here!!

Delinquent for a good reason

I know it has been awhile since I posted...all for a good reason. I am happy to announce that we are now 19 weeks pregnant!!! And after a bit of a scare, we found out that SHE is HEALTHY!!! (We have our 20 week ultrasound soon to verify the heart is all healthy too but other than that she has been given the bill of health so far!!!) Chad and I are thrilled, of course. We never thought we'd have a daughter and so now we are changing direction and coming up with girl names and thoughts on room decorations!!!! YEAH!!!! I will post some ultrasound pics up here soon as well as put some Tyler updates since he is hilarious as always!!!

Last night he gave grandma a run for her money decorating her tree!!! She was ready to quit after a few ornaments and he was raring to go!!! Needless to say the tree is a bit bottom heavy since that's as high as he can reach!!!!!
