Jackson's 1st Birthday

2011-10-04T17:17:00.001-07:00

Jackson turned 1 on September 27th. I still can't believe that he is one. He just seems to little to be one. He is my little man and I am so glad to have him in my life. Happy 1st Birthday Jack!!

Jackson now has 4 teeth 2 on the top and bottom. She loves to jump and as soon as someone picks him up and puts him in their lap he is jumping. He is always jumping when I get him in the morning or from his naps.
He is still just crawling , which I don't mind because he will seem littler longer.
He is a big boy and wear 18-24 month shirts but has short legs and wears 12month pants.
He says mama when he is really sad and dada when he is really happy.
He sleeps from 9pm to anywhere between 9 am and 11am. and usually naps for 3 hours in the day.
He is usually happy if someone is paying attention to him otherwise he wines.
I love you baby Jackson!!

Sydney's 3rd Birthday Party

2011-10-04T16:58:00.000-07:00

We had a party for Sydney after we got home from Wasa. She was spoiled and loved having everyone here.
Happy 3rd Birthday to my sweet little girl!!

She is growing up way to fast. She can spell and read " mom, dad, Sydney, Jackson and Woolf". Counts to 20. Starting to recognize all the letter and numbers. She loves to sing and dance and is always making up her own songs. She loves her cousin and hates when they have to leave each other. She is always wanting to help take care of Jackson. She loves to go to work with her dad. She loves sleepovers at grandma chelles. Is a totally movie junking and loves watching movies and having popcorn. She sleeps awesome except for the fact she doesn't like to sleep in anymore. She is the greatest most days, haha. Love you Sydney Bear!!!

The Summer of 2011

Wasa 2011

2011-10-04T15:42:00.001-07:00

Well the pictures pretty much explain themselves. We went to Wasa the last week of July for 5 days. It was awesome! I would definitely go back ever year. The lake is warm and there is a bit of sand there for the kids to play in which they loved! Its was hard camping with a 10 month of but Jackson did pretty well for not being able to crawl everywhere he wanted too. Sydney got to have her birthday camping and she was so happy to have her ice cream cake. We got to go boating and tubing and Jackson got to have his first tube right out there, he loved it too. Before we know it summer will be here again and we can go back!

Easter fun!

2011-06-15T21:03:00.001-07:00

This is way behind but its better late then never! We went to my dads the weekend before Easter! the girls got to have a Easter egg hunt and loved it. The kids got spoiled and eat way to much chocolate! We went to my moms on Good Friday and we dyed eggs and by we I mean I. The kids of spoiled again at my moms. On Easter Sunday we went out to Hill Spring and had dinner out there!
All around we had a great Easter and love being able to spend time with all of our family!

My little man!

2011-06-15T20:50:00.000-07:00

Jackson is just getting to big! He is starting to lean out and isn't really my fat little man anymore! He loves to eat! He is still picky with his vegetable and is finally starting to eat more types. When he was 6 months old I switched his formula to the 6 month plus stuff and it made him really constipated. I felt so bad. I ended up giving him suppositories and they worked wonders!! It took about 2 weeks for him to get back to normal, thank goodness! He sits up really well now and is starting to move forward. I wouldn't call it crawling yet but he can get where ever he wants to! He is sleeping great and usually has 2 naps during the day! We love our little Jack!

Dates with my little girl!

2011-06-15T20:38:00.000-07:00

I have been trying to spend more one on one time with Sydney. I want her to always know she is my little princess and I love and adore her! When its mommy and Sydney time I call them our "dates". She loves it! I have taking her to a couple of movies and she is awesome throughout the whole movie. As long as she has her popcorn and pop and gets to cuddle with you during the movie! There was a children festival back in April I took her to and she thought it was so fun to see all the different times of animals there. She asked if we could take the bunny home! I told her she would have to take that one over with her dad. She LOVED "driving" the firetruck! She didn't want to get out!

Mommy loves you Sydney and can't wait for many more dates to come!

Salt Lake Supercross 2011

2011-06-15T20:19:00.000-07:00

Houston and I didn't even think we were going to be able to make it to a supercross this year but luckily our friend Mike bought us our tickets and drove us down there! All together there was 9 of us going! We started to drive down on Thursday night and slept in Helena and drove the rest of the way Friday morning. The race was on Saturday! We got up in the morning and went shopping in the outdoor mall, The Gateway, in Salt Lake! I so wish we had one of those around here. There was tons of stores and it was just a beautiful mall. Afterwards we headed to Rice Eccles Stadium to watch the qualifying practice. It was cold all day and we didn't want to freeze while watching the races so we went back to the hotel and got blankets and dressed a lot warmer. Lets just say the race was AMAZING!!! There was 2 big crashes in front of us. My favorite rider didn't win but he did get second! I just love watching supercross and seeing it live is so worth it. So glad we got to be there! Thanks to Houston's brother and sister for watching our kids so we could go!

The love of my life!

2011-05-24T20:23:00.000-07:00

Well yesterday was our two year anniversary! We didn't do much for our anniversary. I have decided over the past little while that holidays are over-rated and why do we need certain days to celebrate occasions. I think spending money on little gifts for holidays is a waste of money and why don't we just save up and by something that we really need or want! We spent the day with our kids out at Houston's parents. I didn't have to clean or cook all day which was great! The kids were angels and that always makes my day better! It seems like yesterday we just started dating. We have been together for seven years! I really can't believe its been that long already! I am so thankful for a husband that goes to work for us and lets me stay at home and raise our children. He works hard for us and I know he wouldn't have it any other way. He gives me everything I need and more. He always lets me make plans for us and goes along with whatever I want to do! He is the light of my life. I love you with all my heart and can't wait for fifty or sixty more years with you!

Wow!

2011-04-07T15:36:00.000-07:00

Ok so March wasn't a good month for blogging for me! I just never get the time to come downstairs and blog. Whenever Jackson is awake I can't go to far away from him because he starts to cry if he can't hear me or see me! Its too cold for him to come down here with me! When he is having a nap I am giving Sydney her time or she is napping and I try to clean or nap myself! So blogging is on the back burner. I rather take care of my family then anything else.

Sydney is just growing up so much. She just play with her imaginary friends and cant play by herself for hours! She is talking so well and is always asking what words mean! She is learning what letter start with what words. She sings all the time and just makes up words to songs when she doesn't know them. She loves to play with Jackson but get frustrated with him sometimes when he doesn't do what she wants. Yesterday Houston told her "Your mommy's hot" and Syd tell him "its because she went in hot water dad" . Pretty smart one there. Later that night she was outside and I told her her hands were cold and she says to me " thats because I got them from the freezer" . She just makes me laugh everyday with what comes out of her mouth. She hates napping and going to bed but once she is asleep she sleeps really well. She just doesn't like to miss out on what is happening.She likes organizing her toys/ shoes/ whatever she is playing with into colors or shapes or just the sames kind of toys. She kind of had OCD I would say. Its cute though and keeps her mind working!

Just one of many Pictures of Sydney organizing things!

My cute little motocross boy!

Jackson is just getting big! He is 6 months now and loves to eat baby cereals but hate veggies. I have try a few different ones and he won't eat any of them. I tried mixing them with the baby cereal and he still won't eat them. If anyone knows any tricks for a picky eater please help. I never had a problem with Syd. She loved everything. He is rolling over from his back to his tummy now. After that he usually cries because his hands are stuck underneath him and he can't do anything. Every once in awhile he will roll back over to his back. Its nice to have a 6 month old that isn't getting into everything already. It really is true that boys progress slower then girls and I love it! He is a great sleeper at night and goes to bed around 9 and doesn't wake up any earlier then 830 and sometimes sleeps till 10. He knows his momma likes her sleep!

Well thats an update of the kids. Houston has being trying to keep busy at work but with the ground being so wet he doesn't have much to do. So I hope it dries up soon so we won't be broke anymore! haha. I am trying to get into shape. I started running last week and and going to try and go every other day when its warm out because the only time I can go is at night and I don't want to freeze my but off. Tonight I am going to try out aquafit! I just want to be back in shape and be happy with my body again! One day maybe!

Another Birthday Has Gone By But Your Never Gone From My Heart

2011-04-07T15:29:00.000-07:00

Still to this day I can't believe that my Great Grandma Hall is gone. I just think oh I'll just go down to the hospital and see her, but then I remember She isn't around anymore. I am just so grateful so have known such an amazing lady. I am pretty sure anyone of my friends that knew her would say the same thing!

Happy Birthday Grandma!! I love and miss you everyday and will never forget all the amazing things you have taught me!

Check This Out!

2011-02-26T18:12:00.000-08:00

This is a great blog that helps me out to try and save money. I am a real bad impluse buyer. I know I need help. Take a look and I hope she can help you out too!

February 17,2007

2011-02-22T15:46:00.000-08:00

There isn't a day that has gone by that I don't think about February 17,2007. It was one of the worst days of my life. Someone really dear to me was sent up to heaven that day! I know she wasn't related to me or that I only knew her for a short time. But I am really glad that she came into my life when she did. She was such an inspiration to me in so many ways. She taught me life long lessons and how to be a stronger person. She has a beautiful little daughter that will be able to carry on her compassion for others!
I miss you Shonna and I know one day I will be able to see you again and thanks you for everything you have done! xoxo

Skating

2011-01-21T20:55:00.000-08:00

So I was finally able to take Sydney skating for the first time. She loved it, until her bum got to sore from falling down a few times. She actually did really well for her first time out. She was able to take about 10 steps on her own before falling and did that about 4 or 5 times before she had had enough. When we were down I asked her if she wanted to go again and she said yes. So thats good that the falling didn't scare her. I have been sick all this week so I wasn't able to take her, but I am hoping to be feeling better so that I can take her every week.

Update on the rugrats!

2011-01-06T14:50:00.000-08:00

Sydney is just being a toddler! She isn't gaining any weight just getting taller! I think she has weighed 30 lbs for like a year now. She wears size 3 or 4 clothes. She is way to smart for her own good! She know how to sing her ABC perfectly. She like so sing "twinkle twinkle little star", "patty cake", "you are my sunshine" and instead of sunshine she says "Sydney Bear" I always sang it to her that way and now its her "Sydney Bear" song. She loves to count everything. She got toy food and a kitchen and bbq for Christmas and is always making me "supper". She has puppy stuff animals that she loves to sleep with and tries to take them everywhere we go. But I don't want to get in her the habit of clinging on to something that she thinks she NEEDS. She knows all her colors and sometime she will tell you the wrong color because she thinks its funny to trick you! I potty trained her before Christmas sometime and she is doing great with it. She never had a problem pooping just sometimes has pee accidents. I never put her in pull ups just I just find that they are so much like diapers anyways that she would just pee in them. I was having her wear a diaper at nap and bed time but after awhile she stopped peeing at night so I just stopped using they and she has gone 2 days with out one at either time and hasn't peed the bed yet. Knock on wood. I took Jackson to the pediatrician and while we were there the Dr. asked if Sydney was in preschool yet and I was like no she is only 2 1/2 and he was like wow I totally thought she was 3 1/2- 4 years old. So that must tell ya how smart my little cookie is!

Jackson had a checkup yesterday and is doing very well. He weighs 15 lbs 7 oz and is 25 inches long. That the 90% for both height and weight and his head is the 75%( he never told me how big around it was just the percentage). I had to start him on formula on the 27th of last month because my milk started to go away. I got an IUD put in and the hormones made my milk go way down. The same thing happened with Sydney too. I knew my milk was going down because before I got in put in Jackson was sleeping at least 10 hours during the night and when I got it put in he started waking up and I knew he was just not getting enough from me. Now that he is eating formula too he is back to sleeping all night! I love it! I try to breastfeed him as much as I can but my milk just keeps going down. He loves to bath. He just kicks and splashes like crazy. He doesn't like the bath very warm so it gets cold pretty quick. Last night he was in there for 20 minutes the water was so cold and he cried after I took him out. He would have stayed in there forever.

Well thats an update on them. Don't forget the post below! 2 in one day is crazy for me!

Christmas 2010.. a little late!

2011-01-06T14:15:00.000-08:00

Well another Christmas has come and gone! I Love how Christmas brings family together. I just hate how there is so much built up for just one day. Also it is hard to be able to spend time with everyone! Especially when you have 3 different families you are trying to be with. The kids got spoiled of course and Sydney loved every minute of it. Jackson is just to little to know what was going on. Houston was done work on the 23rd and so we went shopping that day for my present. I got a watch! I have been wanted on for a while so it was a great gift even if I picked it myself. The nice thing about having kids is that when grandparents buy they presents its a surprise to you too. That is my favorite thing about Christmas is the surprise and the look on the persons face when they open theirs presents!
On the 19th I took the kids to my step dads family party. There is always good food there and they have the kids open a gift and the adults get to play white elephant.
My mom had to work the 24, 25, 26 so we had Christmas at her house one the 23rd. My brother Matt and his girl friend and kids came over too.I decided that instead of taking our presents somewhere to open them to just have Santa come on the night of the 23rd. So Christmas eve morning we opened our gifts at home! On Christmas eve we went to my aunt Monettes. We have gone there every year since I can remember for cabbage rolls! I look forward to it! I love home made cabbage rolls and nobodies beats Monettes! We went to Houston's parents that night and slept over. We spent all day with them and had a great meal and played some fun games! Boxing Day has always been the day I have spent Christmas with my dad. So we headed out to Wrentham and opened some more presents and ate another great meal. With all the driving we were so tired that one the 27th we just slept in and did a whole lot of nothing.
New years eve we went to a friends house with the kids. It was fun but by 1230 neither of them would sleep so we headed home and were in bed by 1. New years day we went back out to the Woolf's for another dinner! We had a great holiday season and can't wait to do it again in a year!

Syd and her new Skates!

My mom never lets me take pictures of her and the kids so I had to sneak one!

Look at the excitement in her face. LOVE IT!!

Ready to Ride

Boxing day at the Farm

At my Moms on the 23rd

Where does the time go?

2010-11-27T21:40:00.001-08:00

So I really have no idea where all the time goes and why it has to go by so fast! Houston has been working out a town for the past month and it SUCKS. I can totally handle the single mother life, that isn't the hard part. Its being alone at night that I hate. I don't have anyone to talk to or cuddle with and I have no one to annoying me when I am trying to sleep in, in the morning. I really appreciate the sacrifice Houston makes for his family and make us money so I don't have to get a job. I just wish that the work he had to do was closer to home. Soon he will be done up in Drumheller and be home with the kids and me. Its hard for him to. I hate how he is missing out on such a fast changing time in Jackson's life. Everything he comes home Jackson looks completely different to him.

Sydney is just growing up to be such a funny girl! She is talking so much more everyday and starting to use sayings that I say all the time and she know how to use them in the right context. She is just so smart. She can count to 10 and I am working on getting her to count more. She can say her ABC's. I need to start her on recognizing them. She can spell her name as well. I am trying to teach her how to spell "mom" and "dad" right now. She is just a got big sister and is very protective of her little brother. She loves him to pieces.

Jackson is getting chunkier everyday! I am not sure how big he is just I don't take him to the doctor to weigh him. I can't believe he is TWO months old today. I just love him to bits. He is a very good baby. Sleeps so good throughout the night. I put him to bed after 10 and he usually wakes up anywhere between 4 and 6. He is a gassy baby and when he is fussy its only just he can't get all the gas out of his tummy. He smiles so cute and is starting to coo all the time now. I don't remember writing him Jackson first post about him having 13 x-rays the day he was born. With him having amniotic band syndrome the pediatrician just wanted to make sure that there was nothing else wrong with other bones in his body. The x-rays came back normal. Jackson also went for his ultrasound on November 10th and his hips are looking good and don't click anymore. I have to take him back to the pediatrician in January and hopefully Jackson is doing great then too.
This picture really shows good what his fingers are like on his left hand!

I LOVE being a mom and think my kids are absolutely the best thing that has ever happened to me. I wouldn't know what I would be doing in life if I never had them. I am so thankful for a loving husband. I really miss him when he is gone but I know its worth the time apart and it has only made our relationship stronger.

One Month Old

2010-10-28T14:07:00.000-07:00

Well that month totally flew by. I don't think I can have anymore children because the time goes by way faster the more kids you have and I just want to it to slow down. So I think two kids are enough for me! But you never know maybe 5 years down the road I will get really bad baby fever again!

Any who back to my little man. He is doing really well. He is on a pretty good schedule. Eat every 2-3 hours during the day and about every 3 hours at night. He is a pretty good eater. The only problem is that my let down is really fast and he doesn't like that to much and pulls off at the start. If I pump a little milk out first then it is fine, but I am not always in a place where I can pump milk.
He has bad baby acne right now on the back of his neck and a little on his face. It just makes your feel bad because there is nothing you can do about it. He likes to bath which is wonderful. He also likes his swing. Thank goodness. It really helps me out during the day so I can spend sometime with Sydney.

A lot of people have told me that it is harder to go from 1 kid to 2 then it is to just have 1. I would have to say it was harder just starting out with 1. By the time the second kid come along you already know what you are doing for the most part. The only hard part is trying to do something for the older child while you are feeding or changing the baby. I am so grateful for Houston he really has helped me out with spending a lot of quality time with Sydney. Even if it just a drive around the block in the "white truck".

Sydney hasn't gotten to jealous, but you definitely can tell when she needs some mommy time. She really likes to help with him and sometimes gets mad at me when I don't let her put his soother in his mouth. If Jackson is really crying hard and she is trying to put his soother in she just tells him to moves his hands. She also will tell him to relax when he first starts to cry. I guess I tell him that too. She likes to get diapers for him as well. I would have to say that she is a pretty good big sister and she will always tell you that she loves him and give him kisses.

He is here!

2010-10-13T18:14:00.001-07:00

Jackson James Woolf

He finally decided to come to see his family that has been waiting patiently for him to arrive. So here is the story about his arrival.
The morning of September 27 I woke up about 3:30 am with some contractions but I wasn't sure if they were real or just more braxton hicks. My back was hurting and I couldn't fall back asleep so I got in the shower and then finally sat down in the bath for a hour. I called my mom at 4:30 and to my surprise she was wide awake. (weird I know) She just told me to time them and call her again if they don't go away. By 5:00 I was sure that this was the real thing and woke Houston up and told him that he needed to get ready to go. I called my sister Kelsie and she came over to sit with Sydney.
We got to the hospital about 5:30 and I was in labor. I think she said was about 5 cm but I can't really remember. We finally got in the a room about 6:30ish and waited for Dr. Browne to come in and break my water. He was busy, of course and so he came in sometime around 7:30 and broke my water. When he pulled the crochet hook out to break my water Houston say " what the heck are you doing with that" it freaked him right out. My contractions were much stronger after my water broke so I got in the shower and just let it run on my back and it was so helpful. At about 8 I got out of the shower and dried off and got into bed and had to of course wait for the doctor again and when he came in I started to push and Jackson was born at 8:18 am. He weighed 7 lbs 10 oz and was 20 inches long.
I pushed less then 10 minutes which was nice but then I tore pretty good too from it being so fast. I am proud to say I didn't have any drugs and I am so happy that I didn't because I felt so good afterwards. I had morphine with Sydney because her heart rate was jumping up and down. And that just made me drowsy. I think everyone should try a natural labor. Women have been having babies forever so I know that we can all do it!

She is so happy to be a big sister!

Grandma doesn't like to share him much!

Remember I just had a baby. So don't judge.

First bath. He actually liked it!

The first week at home went pretty well. Sydney went and stayed at my inlaws so I got to get lots of sleep. Which I am so happy and grateful for. Jackson is a ok sleeper. He likes to be held at night. I am trying my hardest not to have him in bed with me but sometimes I am just so tired I fall asleep nursing him. He is a great eater. He was born with his first to fingers on his left hand not fully developed and they stop at the second knuckle. On his right hand his index finger has no nail on it. When I was getting stitched up. Houston noticed his fingers and Started crying. Its hard seeing something wrong with your child even if its just minor. I know it could be much worse and I am very thankful for a healthy baby. I just think about how mean kids can be in school and don't want him to be picked on. I hope that He can be strong and not let it bother him. He has to go for an ultrasound of his hips, at 6 weeks old, on Nov. 11th because the right one clicks. The doctor says most of the time its nothing but its better to check it out early and be able to fix it early if there is a problem.

Life with 2 kids is definitely different but I am so glad to be able to have happy healthy children.

2010-09-16T20:15:00.000-07:00

Well Summer has come and gone! We didn't have the hottest weather this year, but being pregnant the whole summer I didn't mind it that much! This post is just a bunch of random pictures from the summer. This will probably be last post I write until I have some thing exciting to write about. Like the birth of my SON. I really hope I have this baby soon. I am so sick of being pregnant. I just want a little baby in my arms.

Sydney loves when I take pictures of her! But when it comes to other people taking pictures of her its not so easy!

I think this is like one of the only photos I got of Houston wakeboarding this year. I was really bad with remembering the camera

Sydney Camping for her birthday!

Just a couple of pictures from the boat!

These 3 pictures are from echo. Sydney didn't play in the water that much because there was no beach this year. She would rather play on the "jumpoline" (that is what her and B call it) or with the little kitchen.

Sydney helping daddy blow out his candle on his 24th birthday!
Houston's friends threw him a surprise party and he had no Idea. Sydney waited all day to have "cake candles and ice cream" . She just kept saying it over and over. She was more excited about it then anyone else.

Last but not least here are some photos of me. The white shirt one is at 35 weeks and the black shirt one is at 24 weeks. My cousin did some real picture of me so I will hopefully have those soon to show you!

2 YEARS ALREADY!!

2010-08-05T14:27:00.000-07:00

Well my sweet little girl turned 2. I can't believe it. She is just becoming a little girl and not a baby anymore. Which I am happy/sad about. We had a party for her with all her aunts and uncles and her grandparents. We don't have that big of house so its hard to have a lot of people over. We did her party on the 27(Tuesday) because we went camping on the weekend and wanted to have her party before. She had a good time and got spoiled by everyone. I think her favorite part was having her cousin "B" , Brooklynn, come over. They love each other and play pretty well together. She thought blowing her candles out was pretty fun as well.

On her actually birthday the 30th (Friday) we went camping out to St Marys with some friends. She was the only little kid but she still had a lot of fun. I was really worried about her sleeping because last year when we went camping she never slept at all. It was horrible. Well this year she did awesome! She slept on the bed all by herself the whole night and never woke up once. We didn't get to do to much boating because the weather didn't want to be nice this past weekend. We went up to Waterton on Saturday to visit with Houston's family that lives in the States that we only see once a year. There was lots of little kids there that Sydney got to play with. Over all we had a great August long weekend. Now for the rest of the weekends of the summer I get to work! I can't really complain because after summer I probably wont work again for a really long time. I think 2 kids will keep me busy!

Busy Busy!

2010-07-19T14:48:00.000-07:00

Summer is almost half over and it feels like we haven't even done anything. July First we went to Raymond for the parade and then out to Hill Spring for lunch. The weather was cold and so we just went back to Houston's parents and all had naps except for Sydney.
We have been to the lake a couple times this summer but I always work on the weekends so Houston and Sydney usually go with out me. I am totally fine with it cuz its not to much fun for me to just sit on a boat the whole time not being about to do anything in the water. I almost went on the wake board Yesterday but it was just to cold for me. I don't think it would have been to smart for a 6 1/2 pregnant girl to wake board either. I guess I will have to wait till next year.
Sydney is going to be TWO on the 30th so I took the whole weekend off work and I think we are going to try and go camping with some friends. She loves being outside and I know that it will be funner for her to have a whole weekend of fun instead of just one day. She is a very clumsy little girl and is always falling. Yesterday she trips on our rug in the kitchen and fell and put her tooth in her lip and got a swollen lips. On Saturday she got stung by a mosquito under her eye and so her eye was all swollen up too. Yesterday she looked like she got in a fight. Thankfully the swelling went down of both today so she doesn't look so rough. Lately she has been obsessed with TRUCKS. If I tell her that we are going for a drive somewhere, she says "truck" and I tell her " no we have to go in the car" she screams at me and they YELLS " truck". If you let her play in a truck it is like bloody murder to try and get her out of there. She definitely is Houston's daughter considering we have 4 trucks right now. We are trying to sell 2 of them to make some money and buy a vehicle of some sort that will fit 2 car seats comfortably, but not a mini van. No offense to anyone that drives one but Houston will never buy one.

Well today I went to the doctor and I am 29 weeks! I have only gained 17 lbs so far. They first weighed me at 12 weeks so that is still just a pound a week. Which I am happy for. I hate trying to lose the baby weight after and if I don't gain that much then I don't have to lose as Much. The little boy inside of me is doing well. My heart rate never changes and His heartbeat is normal as well. The only problem I have is sore hips so I can't complain. I just want to hold my little boy, but I guess I will wait a while longer.
I will try and find my camera soon and upload some recent pictures, but for now this is all you get!

Boy OH Boy

2010-05-21T21:14:00.000-07:00

Well we are having a boy! I am excited but I kinda wanted a girl so I didn't have to get anything new because I am cheap like that. Houston is more then excited. He kept telling me if it wasn't a boy he would be leaving the country. So I am glad he is going to have his little boy. Sydney is getting excited to have a baby, I think. She comes up to my tummy lifts my shirt up and kisses it and says baby. She is going to be a great big sister. She is just so loving and caring towards her own babies and when she sees someones baby she wants to hold them and kiss them even if its just for a minute. So now I can start buying new things for this little guy inside of me. I am still not very big and don't feel him move to much because my placenta is high or something like that. They said its fine so I am not to worried about it. So I can still wear most of my normal clothes at 20 weeks except for my pants. My hips have already moved. I still don't have any pictures but I am not big yet so I haven't taken any. Maybe one day I will get around to it!

Grandma Hall

2010-05-11T13:25:00.000-07:00

It was my Great Grandma's birthday on April 7 so we went out to the graveyard to see her. I really miss her but I know she is in a better place. She is with her husband and her 2 sons that she hasn't seen for a really long time. I was really happy that she was able to meet Sydney and be at my wedding. She was like a mom to me and I really love her. I know one day I will see her again but until then I will just was to go out there to visit her.

HERE WE GO AGAIN!

2010-03-25T18:58:00.000-07:00

Well I am proud to say that we are having another baby. I couldn't be happier. I have been waiting and waiting till I would be pregnant again, well I have been waiting for the past 6 months I guess. I haven't taking any pictures yet, but there is a little bit of a tummy coming. I am 12 weeks now and I am so excited for this baby to come. I wish I could just speed up time and make it October 3 already and have a newborn baby in my arms. I am waiting till I get into Dr. Brown in Lethbridge before I know when I can go for an ultrasound. I am finding out what we are having. I feel more prepared that way. I am hoping that we have another girl, only because I wouldn't have to buy anything new. We will see. I went to Dr. Steed on Tuesday and got to hear the heartbeat. It took him a minute to find it but then there it was good and strong at 150. I am proud to say that I only weigh 6 more pounds then I did with Sydney at this point. I never got back to my original weight which kind of bothered me but sometimes you just cant lose it all.

On other news Houston hasn't been working for D.A. Electric since December 22. It sucks with him not having a full income coming in. He has been trying to keep busy with dry-walling but that doesn't always work out. On a good note he is finishing our basement finally, which couldn't be better timing with the new little baby on the way.

Sydney has been sick the past week with a cold. I hate with little kids are sick and they can't tell you what is wrong. She has had a runny nose and a bad cough, but is finally getting over it. I luckily never got it but Houston did, not as bad as she had it but still is under the weather.With spring coming around Sydney loves to go to the park and climb but everything and go down slides. I can't wait till the weather is nice out most of the time. She is starting to talk more and more and actually relating the words to what she wants. Its so nice that I can finally start to understand what she needs.

Im so BAD

2010-02-02T13:20:00.000-08:00

Well Christmas has come and gone and so has January. I and still haven't posted about either of them. Whoops. I really need to get better at this. Maybe one day.
December was busy getting everything ready for Christmas and then before I knew it, it was over. We had a pretty good one but we didn't have enough time to spend with all of our family. Sydney got spoiled of course what little kid doesn't.

On January 2nd we went to Cuba with all of the Woolf's. We had an ok time. The weather was bad and I didn't even get a tan, which was the worst part. The food was awful no one like it. Sydney throw up on me when we were going to Havana one day and after that she didn't eat for like 2 days. I just tried to get liquid in her so she wouldn't get dehydrated. Her favorite thing to do there was either walk up and down stairs for she would find a ramp and run up and down it. It was funny to watch. She loved the beach, but what little kid wouldn't. It just sucked that we only got to spend 2 days on it. The plane ride there sure was an experience. No was had seats together so Houston had to trade with someone so he could sit beside me. Sydney hated it because she couldn't run around and she didn't have her own seat so she would scream at the top of her lung if you tried to hold her and as soon as you let her run in the isle she would stop screaming. I bet everyone hated us. She would just run up and down and get in the flight attendants way. I felt bad but I thought it was better then her screaming. Luckily one the flight home we had an the whole row and there was empty seat so she got her own. She slept most of the way home. Thank goodness.

Then on the 17th I went and watch my aunts kids for a week in Nanton, while her and her husband went to Mexico. She has 3 kids 11, 8 and and 18 month old 5 days older then Sydney. Now that was an exhausting week. I had fun with the kids but all I can say is that I don't think I could ever handle twins. They are definitely a hand full. Both of the babies were teething so that was fun too. haha. I also can say that I am very thankful that I have a husband to help me out with Sydney. Ya I know I only have one but I don't think I could be a single mom with one Child let alone four. I hope the kids had a good time. I know I did it was sure an eye opening, and I know how strong of a women my aunt it to be able to take care of her three sweeties.

Not much more happens so here are some picture of everything.

Long time no talk

2009-11-20T15:06:00.000-08:00

Okay so I have been really lazy lately and didn't really feel like blogging. I know I should just be able to blog once a week but sometimes I just don't know what to say. Anywho to catch up on what has happened in the past month.

Halloween has come an gone. I had fun this year. I am not into dressing up at all I just like being able to spend time with my family and see all the kids in their cute costumes. I tired really hard to get a good picture of Sydney but it just wasn't happening. So this is the best I got.
Emily and me carved some pumpkins. I really like doing that because I get to try and show an artistic side that I don't really have. haha.
Not much is new with Sydney. I think she is trying to get some more teeth on the bottom because she hasn't been sleeping very well and her poor little bum has been really sore lately. She never got a sore bum with any of her top teeth just the bottom ones. I guess that is is harder for them to come through. I am dreading the day that her eye teeth want to come in. Everyone tells me that they are the worst.
Christmas is almost here and I have no idea what to buy for people. I have Sydney already done but she is pretty easy because she doesn't really understand the whole idea anyways. So I will probably be one of those people that are out on Christmas eve trying to finish my shopping.
My in laws have decided to take up to Cuba!!!!!! I am so excited. We are going in January and I can't wait. We are taking Sydney, I hope that she will be a good girl while we go!

Well that's all I can think of right now! I have some more craft projects that I am trying to finish up that I will post about soon!

Yeah for me!

2009-10-14T13:28:00.000-07:00

Well I have been working on a cross stitch for the past forever it seems like. I am finally DONE. It looks just like that one but just different names! I am so happy that I am done because now I can start my next one that will take forever too! haha

Nothing to Important

2009-10-07T15:56:00.000-07:00

Well nothing has really happened in the past week. I have been busy cross stitching a picture, that it feels like I have been working on for ever. Hopefully I will be done by the end of the month. It takes so long to do it but I love it.
Sydney is just growing up more and more. She says boo and brrrr now. It really cute. Her top three teeth are coming down more and she looks like a little cabbage patch doll. She won't let me get a good photo of them but I will keep trying.
OH I am so excited for it to start snowing. I really want to play in the snow with Sydney and see how she reacts to it. I hope she likes it.
Well that's all I can think of right now. Here are some pictures!

2009-09-30T18:58:00.000-07:00

Well my poor little girl had to get her shots today! Me being a bad mom didn't get her 6 month shots and so she got her 6 and 12 month shots at once. She did pretty good I guess, well as good as she could have been for getting poke 5 times. She has not got a fever yet so I guess that is a good sign.
She is growing up so fast. She is getting 3 top teeth all at the same time and I guess it is better then one at a time. They have been broken through for about 2 weeks now but aren't all they way down.
She is starting to talk. She say daddy clearer then any other word. She also says mom, buh bye, hi, bottle and probably some other ones that I can't think of right now.
She is 32" tall and weighs about 26 lbs. She is a really good sized girl.
She loves to read her books, plays with her kitchen and her cookie jar. She really enjoys watching baby einstein movies.
I am not to sure what else to say about her beside she is super cute and I love her to pieces!

Summer=Great Times

2009-09-23T21:29:00.000-07:00

Well all I can stay is that we had a great summer! I am really sad that it is over. Since I have started working again we didn't really get to do to many summer vacations. We went camping up by Beaver Mines one weekend with some friends. Sydney went on her first quad ride and LOVE IT. The worst part was stopping the ride and trying to get her off. She just wanted to keep on riding going.

We miss being on the boat! Sydney even enjoyed boating at much as Houston and I did.
We spent a lot of time out at Stafford Lake this summer with some friends on their boat! It is nice to have friends with things you don't have and can't afford! All I can stay is that when I am rich I will become a pro wakeboarder and live on my boat in the summer!

Sydney and I went to Echo Lake with Houston's family. Houston had to work so we went anyways to enjoy the sun and play in the sand and water! Sydney had her first tub ride. I think that she liked it but she fell asleep and then when we would go over the wake it would bump her and she would fuzz so we thought that was enough. She is totally a water baby. It wouldn't matter how cold the water is she loves it. She even went in red rock and didn't cry. We went to Waterton on Saturday to have lunch with Houston's family. I like Waterton in all but unless you want to spend too much money on over priced crap there isn't much for me there. I can't really go on a hike with a 1 year old so its not that fun for me. Maybe when Sydney can walk on a hike by herself we will enjoy it more.

I took Sydney to the Zoo in Calgary. She likes seeing the animals. I think I had more fun then she did. I love going to the zoo and seeing animals that you never get to see around.

The pictures are in random order sorry!

MY BABY GIRL TURNED ONE!

2009-08-07T12:44:00.000-07:00

Well on July 30 it was Sydney's 1st birthday! I am so happy to have her in my life. She brings so much joy and happiness to our family. We had we grandparents and most of her aunt and uncles here, as well as our good friends Hutch and Kim and their kids. I think she had a pretty good day. She liked all her toys and so did I. I love when people get presents that you wanted to buy your kids but just never do it. Over all it was a great day and she was exhausted by the end of the day.

Showing how old she is!

Playing outside before her PARTY

Blowing out her candles.

Wondering what to do with the cake.

Making sure Hayden doesn't steal her cake.

Not to dirty yet!

So HAPPY because its her birthday!

2009-07-07T11:04:00.000-07:00

Well I don't even know where to start! I AM MARRIED!!!! Finally the day has come well it was over a month ago but I have been really busy with Sydney. The wedding went perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better day. Therewas NO wind and it was sunny and the best part there was no RAIN. I am so happy that I married the man of my Dreams. Houston is MINE. haha. I love him so much!! I can finally say I have no more stress because the wedding planning is over. No one told me how stressful wedding planning is. I am glad that my mom helped me so much or I would have never got it all done.

We went to Mexico on our honeymoon, thanks to my in-laws. Our resort was called the Occidental Grand Xcaret, it was a hour away from Cancun. The resort was really nice expect for the fact that we didn't have a sandy beach to lay at. It was just a rock beach with a little cove that they made so you could swim in the salt water. We only swam in it once. The salt water was really nice but I hated getting it in my mouth. lol. It was amazing. I had never been to a beach. White sandy beaches are so pretty. We did a lot of laying in the sun. Houston got sun burnt the first day and that wasn't to fun for him. We went in to Playa del Carmen on day and went and bought some junk, haha, that is all it really is. We bought Sydney a pretty little dress. The only time we got to see a white beach was when we went on a snokling trip. It was really fun until I decided to feed the fish with my breakfast. lol. Then I just went back to the boat and soaked up the sun. Houston got a sweet "g-string" tan on his back from the life jackets we had to wear snokling. The boat that we went on was really fast. So that made the trip fun to. We ate lunch at a beach resturant and then afterwards we head out on some quad in the Mexican jungle to a Cenote, which is an underground river. It was pretty cool to see. The water was fresh water and was cold, but really refreshing. We couldn't tell how deep it went and we didn't really want to go to the bottom becuase it was dark and we had no idea what kind of creatures were living in the water. After the Cenote we went to a cave and I swear there was probably a 1000 bats living in there it was pretty gross but neat to see at the same time.
Our resort had an park next to it that we went to one day. We went swiming in a river, saw some really cool animals and watch a show at night. They played mayan ball which was really neat to see.
The food there wasn't so good, but we got use to it. By the end of the trip I was so ready to get home to my little baby girl. I missed her so much. She sure missed us to. For about a week she was really clingy. If I left the room she would start crying. I guess she loves her mom.

Hurry up Saturday!!

2009-05-21T18:34:00.000-07:00

Well as most of you know I am getting married and the day has almost come! I am marring my high school sweetheart Houston Woolf. I am so excited. I LOVE him so much words can not even explain. I can't wait for Saturday to hurry up and get here. Houston has always been the love of my life. He is a great father and I know he will be a great husband. He never lets me go without anything. If I want something I get it. He spoils me, which I can't complain about. He is not the most romantic guy, but he tries. He can always make me laugh. Even when I am mad at him he puts a big smile on my face.He works hard for Sydney and I so that I can stay home and raise her. I am so glad that I have him in my life and he is going to be MINE, haha that sounds funny but I think every wife thinks there husband is theirs. AM I RIGHT??? Well Saturday will start a new chapter of my life and I just can't wait. I am so excited to be all dressed up and be a Princess for a day.

I have been so stressed out about the whole wedding and am glad that I won't have to worry about it anymore. I am praying that everything goes smoothly and looks good. I am so happy that my mom has been here to help me with everything. I have the best mom in the world. Lets just hope that my family all shows up since we haven't all been together in like 4 years i think.

I think I am most excited to get the wedding here so that we can go on our honeymoon. My future In-Laws are giving us a trip to Mexico and they are going to take Sydney for the week. I am so excited to go because I have never been to a beach. Even thought i don't look good in a swimming suit I can still enjoy the sun. We aren't going until June 6th but still it won't take long to past time.

I can't think of a title!

2009-04-29T10:40:00.001-07:00

Well Sydney has a couple of good things happen to her this past week. She got her first tooth on Sunday, it was the bottom right one. I noticed while we where are Stake Conference... Ya that's right Houston and I finally went to church on our own and in our own ward. Then on Monday the second tooth popped up, which was the bottom left. Of course she wont let me even try to get a picture of them. So you guys will just have to imagine her with 2 cute little teeth.

Sydney has now figured out how to open the cupboard doors. So I made Houston put locks on them so she cant get to my cookies. haha. She would go for them every time. She thought she was pretty smart because after we put the locks on she would go and try and open the doors and try and hurry before the doors would close to sneak her little hand inside, but the door was just to quick for her.

Also this might sounds gross but its more for my own record. Sydney always poops first thing in the morning and it always leaks out of her diapers no matter what kind I try. So for once I woke up before she did and I went to wake her up. She hadn't pooped yet so I thought I would wait to change her diaper. Well she started to push so I had a bright idea and put her on the toilet. haha. well last Monday, I think it was Monday or maybe Tuesday, Sydney pooped on the toilet for the first time. Now how many almost 9 months old do you guys know poop on the toilet..haha. I think she is going to be an easy potty trainer or at least I hope.

Oh and by the way She is going to be 9 months old tomorrow. I love my little girl!

ITS ABOUT TIME!

2009-04-19T15:25:00.000-07:00

Okay so it has been awhile since I have posted last. I have been really busy with the wedding planning so I haven't really had much time on my hands to think. haha.

So we got are engagement pictures done a couple of weeks ago. We decided to get some family pictures done too. Its kind of hard to get Houston to take some pictures so we might as well do them all at the same time. Sydney did pretty good and so dang cute. Me on the other hand, I just can't take pictures. We were out in the sun and my eyes would just water and not stop. I HATE it. I think it might be because I NEVER wear make-up so it irritates my eyes or at least that is what I'm going to blame it on. In the end we got some pretty good picture of all of us.

Sydney hasn't really done anything new in the past couple of months. She is a really good crawler now. She is so fast and just follows me around the house. She is starting to walk across the furniture. I have one of those yoga balls and she likes to stand up to it and balance but you have to make sure that you are just behind her watching her the whole time or she is fall flat on her face.

Today she started to clap her hands on her own. I have been doing patty cake with her for a couple of weeks and the last couple of days if you sing the song to her she would hit her hands together. But today she started to make the clapping noise. I thinks its so cute. She will be playing with her toys and then stop and clap her hands.

Oh and she has said her first word or at least that is what I am telling myself. haha. She said "mama" and I love it. So every time she says it I say what so that she will catch on that she is calling me. Or at least I think that might help.

Sydney also really likes animals. She loved my moms dog at first but then a little puppy came up to her and started to jump all over and kiss her so now she is kind of scared of dogs. We were out at the farm in Wrentham the other day to visit my brother and we went and say the chicken and baby lambs. She loved them. She likes to just sit in the wagon and look at the chickens. the lambs were so cute and tiny. I didn't have my camera out there or I would have taken some picture.

Houston and I went to Toronto March 26-29 to see our friends Kate and Kyle Harker. The SUPERCROSS just happened to be going to Toronto that weekend too. We had so much fun. I was able to see my ideal CHAD REED. haha Most of you don't know who he is but I have been following his motocross career since I started to race myself, which I can't even remember how long that is. We went to the Welland Ship Canal, Niagara Falls, and the CN Tower. We went to comedy club one night which was fun. I am not a real fan of comedy but I have to say that it is way better in person the it is to watch on TV. The race was at the Rogers Center where the Blue Jays play. It was just a really good time. I am glad that we went then because Kate and Kyle moved back two weeks after we were there. YEAH I am excited for them to be home.

So now its crunch time and I promise I am going to have the invitations out by the end out this week. Here are some picture of our trip and just some cute ones of Sydney.

Kate and I at the Welland Canal

CHAD REED......oh how I love him.. don't worry Houston already knows and is still going to marry me. haha

Well Sydney sure is growing fast but really that is no surprise cuz all babies grow up way to fast. I think that they should stop doing that so we can enjoy them being little longer. She is 7 months old now and She has been changing so much over the past month.
On January 30, 6 months to the day, she started to pull herself forward a little. Then on February 27 she started to actually crawl. Yeah for her. She just goes form room to room. Today she was playing with the patio door. That amused her for a long time.
The things that amuse babies are the simplest things around. I think that I might just stop buying toys and give her a piece of paper and a cardboard box and she would be entertained for hours.
She has been sitting up on her own for the past couple of months but not she has mastered how to sit herself up.
She is also pulling herself up onto everything. She really likes the TV stand, which I am not a fan of her playing with because its glass and I am afraid of her hitting her head on it. So I decided to just put a blanket over it to keep her away for it. Hopefully that will work.
Lately she has been having trouble sleeping and having naps. During the day she will only have 1 or maybe 2 naps but they never go past a hour, and if we make it that long I am lucky. The only way I can make her sleep is if I wrap her up like a Mummy. I use to do that all the time when she wasn't so wiggly but now I have to do it again. We went for like 2 months without doing it and we could put her to bed awake and wouldn't her a peep from her all night. Thank heaven for who even thought to swaddle babies because its a life saver for me.I think maybe it her teeth that have been bugging her..... at least that is what i am going to blame it on.
I took her to the doctor for a check up because she had not been to one since she was 3 months old. She weighs 18 pounds... She is pretty chunky well actually only in the legs.
She also loves to play in the mirror. She gets so excited to see herself. She just shakes. It too cute.

Here are some recent photos of her.

Yeah, I finally have a cute blog... and it took me forever to figure out how to do it. I thought I was computer smart but I guess not. Now I just need to figure out how to add music and all that fun stuff. I will figure it out eventually, haha but who know when that will be.

My Little Fishy

So we finally took Sydney swimming. She loved it.
These pictures are from her second time because Houston took her by HIMSELF the first time.

Here Comes the Bride

2009-01-09T10:03:00.000-08:00

I'M GETTING MARRIED!!! Okay I am a little bit excited about this. I lied, I am totally beyond words excited. The only thing is I have no idea how to start planning a wedding. I have to make sure both sides of our families can actually make it to the wedding. Hopefully I will have a date set soon so I can start.

It was so cute how Houston proposed to me. It was Christmas night and we were going to my mom's house. Instead of pulling into my mom's driveway be parked in front of my neighbors house across the street and told me to get out because there was something he wanted to show me. Then he asked me if I remembered why this spot was special to us and I was like duh, its where we had our first kiss. He said ya it is and it was where everything started for us and this is where I want it to all start again. At this time I was crying. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I thought about for a couple of minutes and then said YES. jokes. I said yes right away and told him to get up because it was snowing and cold. lol. We stood there hugging for a minute and then went into my mom's. I thought he did it perfect.

And now for my ring! haha. I love it and it is one of a kind. We picked it out together and got it custom made in Waterton at Lost Art Jewelry, this guys is amazing. If you go to Waterton in the summer go and check out his shop, its right beside Subway. I promise you won't be disapointed.

FIVE MONTHS ALREADY!

2008-12-23T21:03:00.000-08:00

So I know I haven't wrote anything lately, but I promise I have been really busy. I am not to sure with what but it seems like I just forget to blog.... I am not to sure why I started one if I am just going to neglect is like this. I will try better.
Any who that is not important, SYDNEY is the important one. She is getting FAT, lol well not really but she is getting to be a little chunky monkey. Its so cute to see, she has the chubbiest little legs and they just keep getting bigger. OH ya and she will be FIVE months old next tuesday. Man time has gone by fast, but at the same time I don't really mind because she is growing up and becoming the cutest little girl ever.
She rolled from her back to her tummy on November 27th. But now she won't roll back over. She already knows how because she did it for the first time on October 27th. I know weird it was exactly one month apart.
She is so smiley too. You just talk to her and she smiles. It melts my heart to see it.

My cutie pie playing with her toes.

This is a bad picture of me but look at my baby's poor cowlicks, not one but TWO right in the front. She is going to hate that when she grows up.

To go along with her Cowlicks is this sweet bald spot. Its really funny cuz they hair on the sides is like Two inches long.

Sydney's new way of sleeping. She is always covering her face with the blankets.

Oh so when I was pregnant my brother, Matthew, bought Sydney a little dirt bike. I am so excited for her to be big enough to ride it. I am thinking that when she masters walking pretty good I can then put her on the dirt bike. Hahaha. I think my mom would KILL me. She is already so excited to start riding. She plays with her little dirt bike all the time!

I thought this one was so cute! She is really starting to enjoy this toy.

Sydney is THREE months Old!

2008-11-01T10:09:00.000-07:00

So on October 30th Sydney was three months old! I can't believe how fast time is going by, but I am actually happy that it is going by fast. Sydney changes so much everyday that when I put her to bed at night I can't wait to wake her up in the morning and she was surprises she has in store for me that day.

Sydney LOVES to sit in her bumbo. I don't know what I would so with out it. She hates just laying on the floor and always trys to sit up, but of course she can't do it yet. So all I have to say is Thank goodness for the Bumbo.

On Monday, which was the 27, she rolled over from her tummy to her back. I was so excited to see her do this and even more excited because Houston was home to see it too! Now when I want to show people that she can actually do it she won't perform for me. What a surprise!

Sydney's cousin Brooklynn loves her. Brooklynn is always so interested in was Sydney is doing. If Sydney is just laying down Brooklynn will try and put her Soother in her mouth for her. Its the cutest thing. I can't wait till Sydney is old enough to actually play with Brooklynn.

Yesterday I bought her a jolly jumper and my mom and I decided to try it out. I had her all strapped in. I told my mom to hold her and we picked Sydney off of the ground and she swung around. Her feet went in the air and her head was almost touching the floor. Its a good think I had her strapped in properly or my poor baby would have had a big goose egg. No was said my mom was to smart! She was holding the bar up at the top instead of holding Sydney.

For Halloween Sydney was a COW!! I am pretty sure that she was the
cutest COW around.

July 30, 2008

2008-09-10T10:55:00.001-07:00

Well I thought I should tell the story on how are sweet little girl entered the world.
July 29th was just a normal day. I decided to go out for lunch and to the pool with Aase, Brooklynn and Nicole and Hendrix. I had a pretty good day. When I got home Houston went dirtebiking and I decided to go for a walk because I wanted this baby to get out of me. haha I know I still had a week before my due date so I wasn't really expecting anything to happen. I went for a walk to get a movie. When I came back I was pretty tired and my back hurt so I had a long bath. Afterwards I watched my movie and then when it was over I heard Houston come in the door. A couple minutes later I hurt a pop and decided to head to the toilet and sure enough my water had broke. It was around 11:30pm. I phoned my mom and told her my water broke and she said I should head to the hospital soon. I didn't want to go to the hospital to early because every one says not to. Houston came inside had a shower and then we were off. At around 12:30am we got to the hospital. My mom was there shortly after we were and she brought Emily.
The nurse checked me out and I was already 6cm, whichI thought was really good. My contractions were really strong and close together so soon that the baby's heart rate was jumping up and down so they gave me some morphine to slow down the contractions. At 2:30am I started pushing and by 2:59am our sweet little angel arrived.
We named her Sydney Michelle Woolf. She weighed 7lbs. 1oz. and was 19 3/4 inches long. They said she was a prefect baby, which was exactly what I wanted to hear. She was so cute with her dark brown hair and dark blue eyes. She had really long fingers and pretty big feet. She was just so cute and perfect!
I would have to say I was pretty proud of myself for not having an epidural. Yeah me!! haha. I was also pretty darn happy the I was only in labor for 3 1/2 hours. Everyone gave me the horror stories about labor and I was kind of scared of having a freaking 12 hour labor of something like that. Thank goodness it wasn't long.

I Finally Gave In

2008-07-16T11:00:00.000-07:00

Well I have finally giving in to starting my own blog. I read everyone else's and see how cute their kids are that I decided I better get one myself. I am not to sure on how good I am going to be on keeping this blog update about our lives but here is a go anyways.

As most of you know Houston and I are expecting our first child with in the next couple of weeks.My due date is August 6th. I am 37 Weeks as of today so the count is on. We are both so excited to finally meet her and have her here with us we are going crazy waiting. By the way we are having a little girl if you haven't figured that one out. I would have to say that I think we are ready for her to come but I know when she gets here that we are going to run around like chicken with our heads cut off. So hopefully for the most part we have everything we need but if not I know that our families will both be around to help us out even if we don't ask for the help they will be there with their arms open and ready.
