We're still alive!

I can't believe it has been as long as it has and I haven't even touch my blog. We have been busy and tired around here. I know lots of people say, "you think you're tired now, wait till that second one comes". Well, actually, no. I'm sure I will have my moments where I'd love to catch up on some sleep, however, I know how my body works and what I am capable of and let me tell you, it will be SO much easier to get things done when I don't have a big ol' belly crampin my style and slowing me down.
I am 37 weeks now and counting the days! We will be having a scheduled C-Section on April 6th. Only 2 weeks to go! We are all ready and just waiting at this point. The kids room has been repainted, crib set up, toys and books re-organized, clothes washed and folded in drawers, carseat and baby hospital bag ready to go.




My plan of attack with my blog was to get all caught up from Thanksgiving and Christmas and work my way till now. However, the more I think about updating it, the more daunting it looks to me, therefore I put it off. And I'm not going to lie, I have been totally neglecting taking pictures lately too! What has happened to me??!! This little boy in me has brought out the lazy in me for sure! Can't wait to get him OUT!
SO, I have come to the decision that I will just do one semi-big post with just a few photos from each post I was going to make. Keep it short and sweet and to the point, so I can finally feel caught up and ready to go for when little boy blue comes.
So here we go!...

Thanksgiving-
2010 Thanksgiving was different, but relaxing. It was with some of the same crowd and then lots that we didn't know and weren't really the same with (ya know what I mean). On top of that, no one got to ride because the closed the trails because of snow (and the tree huggers). So for the time we were there, we just hung out in camp, spent time with each other and eat. However, Izzy got to go on her first ride! She enjoyed it until each time they'd circle around and she would see me and act all helpless and sad. It was funny, but she had fun. Oh and this was also right before Bud got pulled over for "riding with a passenger". Too bad she hardly counts as a passenger and they were only going like 10mph! And the "officer" thought he'd just ignore all the other 20 people riding on their bikes in an area that said "no riding", but whatever! He let us off the hook cause we said we had never been there and this was the last time we followed anybody to a new campsite (which was true). We can't go anywhere without Bud getting in some kind of trouble without even trying to cause trouble. People think cause he's this big guy he must mean trouble.
Anyway, here is a few pictures of Izzy's first ride.





My brothers visit-
My brother came up from San Diego for Thanksgiving, so we made sure to make it back home from camping so we could visit with him. We ended up leaving camp early cause there was no riding and things were just different. So it was nice to spend the weekend with my brother. Izzy had so much fun with him. It took her a few minutes to warm up to him because she hasn't seem him to often, but it wasn't long and she was having fun. And by the time he needed to go, she wanted to be held by him and give kisses. He'll be up here this weekend too and I'm so excited to have him see how much she has changed!






Christmas-
Christmas was a little more fun this year. Izzy kind of got the idea, but not completely. She had fun opening gifts and then playing with the bags, wrapping and then her new toys. This next year our family and extending family will be enjoying Christmas down in Disneyland. That way we are all together all at the same time and I get to experience a Disney Christmas!
