Tis the Season

We handpicked a tree and put up all of our Christmas Decorations over this past weekend. This year Jordan actually got into the spirit of things and found out how cool mommy & daddy's ornaments really are. There are bells and reindeer, Oh yea and glittery ones.
One of the funniest things Jordan did was I took out this Iron Reindeer candle holder and he thought it was a pony and proceeded to "ride the reindeer"



David has never been into the decorating aspect but this year he helped with the lights and with Jordan hanging ornaments, and oh yea officially watering the tree. Let me first say that a few weeks back we found this in the a magazine and remarked what a great idea it was, too bad it wasn't that cute.



Here is the description -Randy The Reindeer Watering System

The Reindeer Tree Watering System not only lets you know when your tree needs water, it helps you water with ease! Hang this fun reindeer ornament in your tree, attach his water tube down the trunk, and place the included water sensor in your tree stand (not included). When the water level gets low, his nose lights up. To refill, simply pour water into his open mouth until his nose light goes out. Enjoy a healthy tree without ever crawling underneath it.

Now I want you to know that as David is preparing to water the tree he keeps talking about this reindeer, and I am like yea ok well we dont have it. He then disappears into the garage only to emerge with part of a shower hose and a plastic bottle.
If you know David, you know where this is going...

Here are the pictures to explain

Thanksgiving

This year we headed down to Las Vegas to spend Thanksgiving with my dad. We were hoping to catch some nicer weather and relaxation. I ended up being sick with a 24 hour bug right before we left. The weather was great the first day, too bad I couldnt enjoy it sick in bed.

Then next few days it rained in Vegas and was record breaking. Apparently we brought the rain to the desert.

David's brother Mike came with us, and we were all able to take in a show- Penn & Teller, while Grandpa spent some quality time with Jordan.

Thanksgiving was great and we had more than enough food, Prime Rib and Turkey...

We came back with some money and got to enjoy some nice weather before we headed home.

Updates

It's been months since I wrote an update as to what we have been up to. We have had an exciting Fall and are anticipating the Holidays as the count down for the new baby has begun.

Oh in case your one of the few who doesnt know, it's another boy! No we dont have a name yet, but when will do you won't find out - we are waiting until he is born to un-leash the name.

Jordan continues to keep us on our toes and as my belly is ever expanding it's harder and harder to keep up with his pace.

Here are a few pictures of the last few months.

I am growing a baby...

We well have not been blogging the last part of summer. Just too much fun stuff going on. The fair, vacations, the beach - you name it we did it.
Between the sleeping and the morning sickness and an active toddler I just havent felt up to it.

Oh in case your one of the few who hadn't heard... We are having another baby. Due March 9th. That puts me at week 16 today. Finally have things calmed down. I am not running to the toilet ( which is exceptionally clean these days ) everytime I get a whiff of food or a dirty diaper. God Bless my wonderful husband, who has had no problem getting woken up by me yelling, HURRY I am getting sick!!! And has no issue going out at night to pick me up a snickers bar.

I guess you tend to forget all the joys of pregnany- I have noticed the feet swelling and all those cute cute cute shoes in my closet that have to sit neglected for another 9 months before they get any good use outta them. I mean let's face it, there is no way a maternity outfit looks that cute, especially with granny shoes.
