Hair Color

This one I just had to add cause I think Jamin is so cute! I know they are not great pictures but it was all that I had on my camera, Willie took all the other pictures off the computer.



This is just a post to get some opinions..just give me an honest answer. I was looking thru some older photos and my hair was brown..I can't decide if I like it darker or lighter..let me know what you think.

New Additions..




So last Tuesday, I woke up with a screaming dog, I figured she had to go out potty, so I let them both out and brought them back in, and she continued her very loud screeches..well we had suspicions she was pregnant, and Willie told me to put a pillow in with her, I did and she stopped. I showered and came to check on her and this is what I found..
There was a black one, but it died..tried as I might to revive it. So yes we are a crazy house full of crazy animals, but we love them!
Speaking of animals if you know anyone that wants a sugar glider I have one that I need to let go. I can't give him enough love and he needs a good home! Ill post a picture if anyone is interested.

Daddy and Tyson

I couldn't sleep the other night so I got up and was doing some things around the house and came back to find my husband and baby sleeping like this. It was so cute I had to take a picture! It was way dark in the room so I was lucky to get this shot, my camera screen was completely black and I knew with the flash I only had one chance to get it in case one or both woke up. I got lucky, the shot turned out and neither woke up, Willie didn't even know I had taken it until I showed him!

Body World
Saturday Willie and I decided to go to the body worlds exhibit. Willie was really excited to go, I was less so, but decided I would support Willie. Willie's mom Sheryl wanted to go as well as his cousin Kim. The tickets were pretty pricey, and more so due to Willie's mom purchasing them thru a separate vendor who then charged an additional fee..anyway, our tickets were for 3 PM there was no street parking so we parked in the library which was very close but also had to pay for that..so as we get into the Leonardo museum there are lines everywhere! We were sent to the basement to wait in a line..we had brought the stroller which was mostly a good thing but elevators weren't very accessible so we carried the stroller up and down many stairs, we waited in about three different very long lines. They did have an entertainment of sorts in one of the lines. Projected on the wall was a skeleton who would have a comment box saying what people texted it. Which I particularly thought was interesting due to someone texting it saying the blonde in the white jacket was hot, and since I was the only one in the line wearing a white jacket everyone assumed it was me..which I was ok with, and I know Willie didn't do it because he had left before we moved to this line to go get me some hot chocolate. It was nice to get a compliment from a complete stranger who I will probably never know. Anyway...if you do end up going go to the bathroom first, the bathrooms within the Leonardo stink, and they have trailers that are very much like port o potties..or however you spell it.
After waiting in an hour and a half of lines you can finally go in, you can choose to purchase a headphone speach guide or you can just not be lazy and read all the different things about all the different body parts. None of us chose to buy them, but my mother in law talked a lady out of hers in the museum. It was very crowded inside, and very hot. You pretty much had to fight your way to see anything, and if you were standing too far back from anything someone would come stand in front of you. I thought it would be a museum full of bodies, but it actuallity there were only about 10 full bodies. There were body parts everywhere, and other cool things like the fetus section which was probably the best part besides the full bodies. Oh and this isn't really a museum for kids or those that are skiddish of body parts..there are genital areas on all of the full bodies, and they don't really hide anything..the men hang down and the women stick out haha if that makes any sense.
My experience might have been made worse due to my mother in law deciding she needed to read every caption to every little thing..which would have taken 6 hours at least. We were halfway thru the top half of the museum while she was still at the very first case full of parts..yes she was very slow, and it irritated me very much! Considering she was the only one with nursing school you would think she would know more than us and not have much of a need to read every little detail..but she is Sheryl..
Looking back would I do it again, No. It was very crowded both inside and out so to even enjoy the inside was difficult, it was VERY expensive, and inconvenient. Yeah it was cool to see certain things but is it worth it, I would say no. Just my opinion if your thinking about going.

First Outfit
My sister sent me these pictures at the hospital when Willie took my camera to his work to show off the pictures we had. I love them they are so cute! He didn't enjoy it too much but he doesn't like getting dressed much now. I don't look fantastic so don't pay attention to me! This first one is my favorite!

Kidney Transplant


Right now my dad and sister are in surgery doing a kidney transplant. Its finally happening, but its a very nerve wracking time for my family especially my mom and my sisers husband and her three kids that are old enough to know that its a serious thing. Please keep them in your prayers! Most of us will be gathering to the hospital for the next few days, and the holidays will just be different this year. We love both of them so much, and can only hope and pray the surgery goes well. Hope the best for all of you!

My Birthday!

My poor dad is so sick, he wont admit it but we can all tell. Laura Ashley snapped this shot as I was opening my birthday gifts. We are just praying the surgery goes well for both him and Jami.

December 20th..wow I can't believe another year has passed, everyone keeps thinking im only 22..haha. No 23 feels the same really. The only difference is im a mom now haha whether that makes me feel more grown up or not I can't tell. We celebrated my birthday at Jami's house, then my parents, Jami, Brandon, and Laura Ashley went to Tepanyaki for dinner, which was so good! Due to my dad and Jami being in the hospital for Christmas, we returned to Jami's house and celebrated Christmas with everyone. We are such a blessed family!

My Cute Little Boy

I am amazed at the ease of being a mom..I mean litterally its not easy, but the transtion has been almost effortless. It is the most natural thing to me to be a mom! I don't really know how to explain it better than that. I love holding him and cuddling with him, and he snuggles up to me, and I feel empty when he isn't with me. He is so funny, his expressions constantly make me laugh! As for who he looks like, I think he has Willie's face shape and lips, I think he has my nose, ears, and some expressions I can claim! He has big eyes, and they are so incredible to look at, their coloring is light blue that spreads to a deep blue, and even though its creepy when he stares at you sometimes its still rather cute! I sit with him for hours and never get bored of him. I love how right before he falls asleep he gets a huge grin on his face like he is remembering something very happy or going to a happy place either or but I love it! I get to see it every night after feedings. He is getting so chunky haha many people wouldn't say that, but as I see him everyday I notice! Bath time is fun because he enjoys it so much! He just doesn't like the cold after. Willie has been a huge support and loves to spend time with him, he beggs me to let him feed and change him! He always wants Daddy time! Its amazing how our lives have changed so much and yet to me it feels normal and like its the right thing. My life doesn't feel hollow anymore.
We love sharing him with everyone! I love to visit family and friends and see the joy on their faces as they hold him and the love everyone feels for him is amazing! I have everyone offering to baby sit for me! I try not to be over protective of him, but If you catch me doing it just tell me and ill stop! I love being a mom and dressing him in cute clothes! I need to take more pictures, but I do make sure to the the best ones!

Christmas Stocking




My dad and I were talking a few days before I had him about how I had come home in a Christmas Stocking and how cool it would be if my little one got to do the same thing, I told him I didn't think they would due to me having him so early in December..I was wrong, and it made me cry when they brought him back from his bath in a Christmas Stocking..I was so excited to show my dad!
