Small Update

So as you can tell I have been a complete slacker the last few months with my blogging. I have good reason though for at least the last two months. I haven't been keeping it a secret, but it has been hard to drag myself off the couch to get anything done. Brendan and I are expecting baby #2, June 22nd!!! Yah!!! We are very excited to bring another baby to our family. But, I have NOT been excited about being constantly nauseous the last two months. I am 11 weeks along so I pray I only have like two more weeks until I'm done throwing up.

Just Lounging Around

Cruz discovered his old infant bath tub
and has decided it his new recliner.
I have found him reading in it,
snuggling with his lamb,
and driving his car,
next he'll be watching football games
and telling me, "Mom, get me another cold one!"

Tacoma Narrows Half Marathon

I just finished my first half marathon this morning.
Go me!!! Wow, was it a killer.
I'm not exactly sure what my time is yet,
I was just so happy to make it to the finish line
that I didn't even pay attention to my time.
But, I think it was about 2 hours 10ish minutes.
Right now I really don't know if I will ever run one again.
But, I sure feel accomplished.
I can add this to the list of events
to brag about.
I ran with three of my friends.
It was so fun training with them.

I think I was about ready to die

The Blue Trotters-Danika, Me, Gina, Christine

Me and Cruz

Right after the race, Cruz comes up to hug my legs.
He touched me and
immediately pulled back because I was so sweaty.

Precious

It is on very rare occasions that when I go to wake up Cruz,

I can actually watch him sleep for a few moments.
I love watching him sleep.
Its so peaceful.


FYI, Cruz went to nursery
for his first time and he loved it.
This little guy isn't a baby anymore.
Kind of sad.

My Weekend Project

This was my weekend project.
I'm so mad I forgot to take a
before shot, oh well.
But, just imagine the top of the tree
twice as full and
that fullness covering
was all the way to the ground.
It was a tree-bush and I was afraid that
it would eat my house if
I didn't do something about it soon.

It was so much fun chopping
all of the branches off.
The neighbors were making fun of me,
because I would saw a branch off,
step back and saw another
branch off.
Hey, some people paint,
I prune.

16 Months

I can't believe Cruz has only
been with us 16 months.
I feel like he has
been here forever.
I am so blessed to have such a sweet boy
who is always smiling and never
lets anything get to him.

We just had his 15 month check-up
and this boy keeps getting
smaller and smaller,
but growing a the same time.

Height- 28.5 inch - 5%
Weight- 21lbs 2.6oz - 5%

When he was a newborn
he was in the 85%.
I swear I feed him,
maybe to much.
Because this boy poos
like there is no tomorrow.

Mothers day!!

Happy Mothers day to all of the Mom's in our lives!!!

Isn't she such a hot mom!! I am so grateful for all that you do. Cruz is such a good kid thanks to you. I love you.



To celebrate mothers day we thought we would post a few pictures and videos of Cruz, so my mom can enjoy a little Grandmothers day via the web, (doesn't your world revolve around Cruz? ours does).
















Here is Cruz hanging out with his 2nd best friend the rock, Unfortunately his first best friend the remote was not allowed to go out side. He carries them every where.
