Broken Resolution

I'm sure I am the only one who noticed or even cared that I broke my New Year Resolution and missed posting the other day....In fact, I woke in the middle of the night in a panic that I didn't do my daily post! HA! I even contemplated getting outta bed and writing someone on here just to make myself happy! Ridiculous I know! SO anyways I am changing it to say "I will try my best to post everyday!" Oh and I will also add, I will try to upload more pictures too, because a post without pictures is definitely lame!!

How can these pictures not make your day a little happier!

Proud Mama!

I say it over and over and it couldn't be more true, I am one of the luckiest mommies with the sweetest most precious baby boy ever. I am so proud of that little man! Even though he is only 2, I am beyond amazed at how well he understands the whole 'mommy's pregnant" thing. He knows that there is a baby in mommy's belly, that he can't jump on me, and has to be careful when we are playing, he understands when I'm too sick to play and the sweetest of all is he already loves his little brother or sister! Every night before he goes to bed he has to say 'night night baby' and gives my belly a hug and kiss. It melts my heart every time. I am feeling so much better now, but when I was too sick in the mornings to get out of  bed he would just come into my room, give me my 'good morning mommy' hug, then go grab the box of Ritz crackers from the pantry and come sit with me in bed eating crackers together and watching cartoons, until I wasn't sick anymore. What a awesome kid! Also a few times now, he has even 'shared' crackers with the  baby...He will lift up my shirt and say 'baby crackers too" then place the cracker on my belly and put my shirt back down! ha ha! At least he will be good at sharing!! He is just beyond cute and I love every minute of him loving us!!

Back With BIG News

I'M PREGNANT!!!

Our little family will be adding 10 little toes around July 29th!!

Since I have been away for the past little white, I thought I better come back wtih a bang! Oh and by the way, I forgot to state in my New Years Resolution post that if I am away on holidays I will not post, so I really didn't break my resolution...yet...ha!

Anyways, back to my big news! I am SO beyond excited to be pregnant again and to have another little baby around. I LOVED being pregnant with Haylen, and so far I have been enjoying this pregancy as well, although I have been ALOT sicker than I ever was with Haylen. But since I am now 13 weeks, I am hoping that my energy starts coming back! I hate just laying around feeling useless!

Yah for growing bellys!

11 Week Bump!

Oh Joy

Today Haylen introduced me into the wonderful world of the "terrible two's"
Thanks bud. 

Good thing you are beyond cute with those sweet little innocent eyes.

I love you.

"old bubba"

A few months ago for some reason Haylen started calling his grandmas "bubba", we are not sure why, since nobody ever told him too, he just picked it up on his own. I know that "bobba" is grandma in Ukrainian, but nobody in our family is Ukrainian, and besides he says 'bUbba' not 'bObba".
I think its really cute, and no matter how many times we would tell him to say 'grandma', it would always come out 'bubba' so now that just kinda stuck.
Anyways yesterday I was uploading all our wedding pictures and this picture of me and my grandma came up and Haylen says "OLD BUBBA", lol, I thought it was so cute that he knew she was 'elderly' haha. I LOVE how Haylen  has his own thoughts and knows how to express them now. (The happy thoughts anyways!)  He is so fun!!

Isn't my grandma beautiful!! Love her!!

2012 New Years Resolutions

*Blog every day! I have the worst memory ever and I LOVE reading my old posts, so I decided this year I am going to write something down every day, even if it is a single word, it will be done! (Obviously I am already 11 days late starting, so wish me luck!)

*Do not use the microwave! They are SO bad for you!

*Say 3 Things I am grateful for everyday!

*Hand wash more dishes, to save water from running the dishwasher with only a few items in it! I HATE hand washing dishes so this too will be a challenge!

*Spend more time with my friends! I have realized I am a horrible friend and never make time for them in my life, so this year I will be more social and venture out of my house a little more!

*Read a book from start to finish! Sounds simple I know, but I don't like to read!

*Budget my groceries, and make a meal plan every time I shop

*Use coupons and try and only buy sale items at the grocery stores

*Organize and clean my crafts room

*Get my scrapbooks up to date!  I have an overwhelming amount of pictures that need cute little homes

*Organize all my recipes into a nice little book

Update

I keep saying that I will become a better blogger but I kinda just suck at it. I am always so busy that I never make time to blog, which is dumb b/c the reason that I have a blog is so that I can look back and remember these times in my life, so it really should be a priority to sit down and write about it!! The other reason that I sometimes don't take the time to write is b/c I think I write about the same thing every time....Haylen...and think that not everybody constantly wants to hear about him....well too bad for you!!....I blog about my life and he is the biggest part of my life so if you wanna keep reading then enjoy!!

Haylen is now 14 months old!!! oh boy..... It feels like yesterday I was saying, "I can't believe he is 2 months old" and now he is 14 months!! He really does get more fun each and every single day. I just love that little man so much. So what has this adorable little boy been up to lately? Well I'll let you know

1) He LOVES his puppies, gives them hugs and kisses all day long. He even uses Kalla as his own personal chair and loves to sit on her.
2) He pats his chest to call the dogs....gives them a hug once they come, the says "Get" ha ha
3) He loves to blow kisses and has for a few months now
4) High 5's are his personal favorite!! Every night when I put him to bed I say "Haylen do you know that mommy loves you?" (he nods his head yes) Then I say "Do you love mommy" and he nods his head yes again.... Then I lay him down and he has to give me a high 5 before he takes his baba and goes night nights!
5) Brushing his teeth is another one of his favorites, he will brush them all day every day if I let him. Once he is done brushing he then throws his toothbrush in the sink.
6) Potty!!! We are working on potty training. He has his own little potty and 2 or 3 times a day I will ask him if he wants to sit on the potty. If he says yes then he will sit there for about 5 minutes (brushing his teeth of course) But if he says "no" then that is fine, I will not push him at all, he is only 14 months old. But I figured if he wants to sit there then great!! Oh and he has yet to actually "go potty", but I think sitting there is a great start!
7) He goes to bed at 8pm and sleeps until 8:30 am every night!! Its WONDERFUL! Ryan and I get to spend lots of time together and I get lots of stuff done this way
8) He loves to Clap and say 'yeaaaa'
9) His words are "mama, Tab (Nice I know), dada, baba, get, mmmm (for snacks)" that's about it... He nods his head yes or no and usually gets the right answer when you ask him a question
10) He is still a great eater!! I don't know how he is not 784 lbs already with the amount that kid eats!
11) He now gets time outs and has to stand in the corner if he does something he knows that he is not supposed to (I know I'm such a mean mom!) ha!
12) He loves to color, he still puts the crayon's in his mouth a lot, but I have found him with a pen and paper laying on the floor coloring.....how adorable!!

Well that is pretty much all that I can think of. I was meaning to do a "1 year" post of all the things he can do....but hey now we get a 14 month old post right!! Oh and how weird is this.... I haven't been taking very many pictures lately....all throughout November I don't think I have taken a single one of him....So I will post the pictures that we took in October of Haylen and I because I LOVE them!! (and besides its a sin to do a post with no pictures right...!)
