Just Some Thoughts..

Well. Its official. I am a horrible blogger. I have a post for CHRISTMAS still! So I may post it still because really its just for me and my family to have as a journal so.. I dunno maybe I will post it later this week. I'm just sitting at work, working really hard :) I have been just thinking of all that is going on in our lives. Sometimes I cant believe how fast time flies by, and how I never have enough time to do anything I always want to do. Including, time for friends! I sure miss my friends, and wish life was not so crazy for all of us! Having a family of my own, one on the way(and all the fun that has been lately, yuck!)working 4 days a week, having a calling(now CTR 4 primary teacher, which has been a little rough being so sick, and chasing 4 yr olds around, ha ha), husbands big calling(out of Young Men's now, but in the Elders Quorum Presidency!!), him working full time, and online school full time, having 5 extended families, and lots of parties/baptisms/birthdays/holidays.. we are kind of busy!(I now understand some of the stress my mom went through, except add 8 soccer games a week to the list, basketball, baseball, etc..) BUT.. I would not trade it for anything. OK maybe minus the working part:) But we are blessed, and so happy. We have so many people supporting us and loving us. I just wish I had more time to return it!

I was able to go to the doctor on Monday, and got to see our cute little one. It actually looks human, last time it was more like a sea horse! So it made it much more real! It even waved, and played with its feet, and rubbed its eyes. It was SO cute. I love the new doctor I am going to. So far it has been great! I used to wait in the waiting room for at least an hour, and I have been in and out of the office in less than half an hour every time so far! So that has been awesome! Things look perfect with the baby, and I am over 13 weeks now! Yea! Next visit will be May 25th and we will find out the sex. I am completely convinced it's a boy. I don't know why. But I just know it is. Ha ha, which probably means it will be a girl and I will feel bad for calling it a he this whole time! I don't really care either way, but a boy would be great for Bronson. Plus I have all boy stuff, so it would be alot cheaper! But, I would LOVE a girl to spoil, and dress cute, and buy bows, and tutus for! I just know in the end I want one of each so, if I have a girl now, I can sit back and relax for the others. :) Either way I will be equally excited. I just want to know so I don't sit in bed at night and think of baby names for like an hour and can't fall asleep! So we'll see..

Something else I have been sitting here doing is looking at my calendar for the summer! I CAN'T wait. We have about three trips planned. One week with my family at a cabin! And a camping trip with Taylor's family, which I am so so happy about. It will be so fun with Taylor's parents, grandparents, all 7 children and their spouses, and all 21 grandkids! Not very often can something like this work out with everyones schedules, so we are super excited! I also have a trip with my dad's side to go camping also! I'm sure we will go on little overnighter campouts just with our little family, so our trailer will be getting good use this year! Taylors new job will make it possible for us to do all these things, and we are so grateful for that!!

Taylor goes in on Thursday for his MRI, he needs shoulder surgery:( He has had two on one shoulder, and now the other one needs it. Too much basketball, his old manual labor job, and having a 1 yr old has not helped his pain at all. So with another one on the way, and the fact that he cant lift his arm at all, we decided it is time. We are hoping to get the surgery scheduled for May 26th or 27th so he will have a long weekend to recover. Yikes, I'm a little nervous for him. And myself! I will feel so bad, and seeing him in pain will be so hard! But hopefully it will help him out, and make it so it won't pop out of socket every time he plays basketball. Wish us luck!

Bronson is 22 months old now! He is a hoot. I mean seriously has the funniest little personality. Still pretty easygoing, and easy to handle. But, he is getting brave and jumps off everything! Kind of scary how fearless he is. He will go to a park and go down the biggest slides all by himself, over and over again! Its so fun. He is starting to talk alot more too. He copies what you say, so now I have to be more careful of what I say! Not that I say anything too bad, but you know, stupid, dumb, boob, dang, shoot, all those don't sound so well coming from his mouth! Oops. One of my favorites now is when I give him something he gets so excited and with the sweetest voice says "thank you momma!" Melts my heart!! He loves puzzles, books, slides, trains, dinosaurs, cars, and LOVES going outside! Too bad we have not had much of a spring! He has been at a new sitter now for a few months, and has done SO well there. She is so awesome. His manners have improved, his speech has improved, he really loves it there. Sometimes I get jealous that she is cooler than me! She takes him to the Treehouse Museum, Library Discovery Time, Signing Time, Syracuse Fun Centers tramps, different parks all the time, baby animal days, easter egg hunts, etc.. so I think he is loving it. Its really been awesome to have him at just one house all the time, and on more of a consistent schedule. It was hard with him going to 3 different houses every week. I mean I LOVED my old sitters, and appreciate them all so much, but it was hard on me to take him different places all the time. So that has made working not as tough on me. The moral of this story is, I love being a Momma, and I love Bronson, and cant wait for him to get a little sibling to terrorize my house even more! Clean houses are so over rated.

Ok, enough of my journaling.. sorry its really long! I just have a lot on my mind!! I promise to post pictures later this week! I have lots!

P.S. Isn't the new picture of Bronson on the header so cute? My sister did a cute day of photoshoots with bunnies and baby chicks. So we ran over and got a few of Bronson and my nieces. I will post those when I get home. They are cute. Funny thing about the nose picking, is he has been doing it since he was a tiny baby! Whenever he gets nervous, or scared, or knows he is in trouble he immediatley sticks his finger to his nose! Its not like he even picks it for real! Its really cute. Such a boy..
