FINALLY!

Oh my goodness...I can't believe this, I finally was able to sign in and blog. For the longest time it would not allow me to log on and post anything let alone view blogs that were invited only's.

I have major catching up to do...Let's see I will go far back as I can remember (which is not that far back) :-) Thanksgiving we went to pick up Taylor at her grandparents and had a great time. It was a wonderful weekend spent in LA with great fun, good food and awesome family time. I missed my family but hope to see them real soon.

The kids are getting so big so quickly. Taylor I swear came back with even more of BIG PERSON personality to the point I think she forgot how old she really is....but thanks to having a awesome MOM who has no problem setting her straight and reminding her how old she really is. LOL She had a whole month at her nana and papa's with no other kids (only her cousin sarah when her mommy and her would visit or when nana would watch her) but majority of the time was just Taylor to be the center of the attention. So coming home with us was NOT a highlight for taylor. Though she missed us and I got crying phone calls saying so, she reminds me everyday how much she misses her nana and papa and how boring home is. She is counting down days till she goes back which is the 20th of this month but we will be with her as well till we move into our house the 26th.

Blake is getting so big and it seems like he is bigger every morning. Last night I was in a lets see if Blake's blessing outfit fits. We are blessing him this sunday which is also our last sunday in our ward. We had it planned for the first fast sunday after he was born but he was really sick so we thought we would do it the next fast sunday which was in November but Mark had drill weekend, so we said okay fast sunday in December BUT mark had drill weekend AGAIN! Then we were told we didn't have to do it on a fast sunday and that our ward was not sticklers about it being on a fast sunday. Okay, long story short I ordered his blessing outfit a size 0-3 banking on doing it right after he was born...and I never tried it on him till last night...welll as you can see in the pics my kid is a BIGGIN!! He is 2 1/2 months old and weighs about 15lbs now. His pants are suppose to button to his shirt but when I do that he is waiting for the flood. So I will have to leave it unbuttoned. His shirt is pretty tight so good thing he is only wearing it for one day! I took a pic of him last night..Mark would not let me take a pic of him with his bonnet. YES, it came with a bonnet. Mark had me laughing so hard I was crying cause he took the bonnet away and said he would not allow me to embrasses (sp) our son. I took pics anyway on my regular camera and was not able to get any on my cell. Mark said I was a mean mom.. lol

Sorry this is going to be a long post but I have to catch up here. So when we were down in LA that thanksgiving weekend we drove down to the San Diego area to find a house. I had found a house on craigslist and LOVED it....it's walking distance to taylor's school and seemed like a nice area. Anyone who has down long distance house hunting it's hard! Lots of scams and just a big headache! We found a couple houses but I was sold on this house, I spoke with the owner and found out he was retired military. A PLUS! (knows what were going through) The town where the house is in Santee. We loved it! Nice area, new shopping plazas and a lake just blocks from our house and a hiking trails as well. Oh yeah there is a cool wooden play stracture in the backyard taylor can play with... We will be renting for now till Mark finds out if he can retire in SD then we will look to buy a house. Till then we are content with this cute house.

Okay well before I end I will just say I had fun yet again dressing my son tonight...I put his x-mas outfit on him to see if that fit and it does and he looks so cute! Taylor has a red and black dress but she did not want to have fun and dress up tonight so it's only blake. The kids and I have been sick with a cold from you know where that will not go away...It's so dang cold here and foggy...I love it but not when I am sick or my kids are. So here is everything in a nutshell or should I say a LONG novel like post...ha ha ha Less than two weeks and we are going to be in San Diego....YEAH!! Hope you didn't get to bored reading this...will have more pics soon...
