What's in a name....

A lot of good this book does!

We are having a REALLY hard time deciding on a name this time, I don't know what it is.... maybe the pressure of making sure your kid isn't made fun of for the rest of his life, or that he won't HATE his name, or that Jonathan and I differ quite a bit in our taste in names! (At this rate I'm not sure if we'll be able to have any more kids, for fear of not being able to come up with a name.) And if any of you have ever MET Jonathan you know he's not the most serious person in the world when it comes to decisions like these, which I, of course, think are life or death (i AM pregnant! I'm allowed irrational emotions). So he comes up with the most RIDICULOUS names, and trys for the next half hour to convince me that it's the perfect name for our child, when really he doesn't even like the name, he just likes to mess with me.... so of course nothing gets accomplished. (it's usually good for a laugh later though...much later). So this is my dilemma and I wouldn't mind some suggestions, maybe it will trigger something in my brain!

ps. a couple names that I like are.... Adam & Max ..... let me know what you think!

Coming to you from....

MY HOUSE!! Can you believe it!! I guess I should've complained a little sooner if I knew that was all it would take to get the internet! What a great guy huh!? We just got it today and Jonathan has been on it WAY more than I have already.... that will soon change of course! :o) Just thought I would share the exciting news, more to come soon... and more frequently!

Lame-O

OK, I know I've been the lamest blogger EVER lately... but it is seriously hard without the Internet, I know everyone says that is a lame excuse, but it IS reality! SO I thought we could all get together and send Jonathan some "encouraging" emails, texts, or phone calls about how really important it is for us to get the Internet.... and if it works I promise I will be the best blogger and commenter ever! Please let me know if you need his email or phone number, I'd be HAPPY to give it out! :o)


(don't let that innocent looking face fool you, he is to blame!)

Viva Las Vegas!

I just wanted to share the exciting news.... we're going on a vacation (thanks to some cheap tickets)! It's just a short weekend trip, but we can't wait! Trevor & Kaitlyn are coming too and we're leaving the babies at home.... a big thanks to the grandparents!!

FOUND

Ok, I found my camera..... in Jonathan's coat pocket.... in the LAUNDRY! Maybe if I had done laundry sooner I would've found it sooner! Luckily my mom was around a lot with her camera and took lots of pictures for me! So scroll down and check out what we did for the holidays!

Christmas Time

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! We spent Christmas Eve at our OWN house, for the first time since we've been married..... oh... and had a house! :o) We had my sister and some friends over for dinner and games, they have a son close to Blake's age, so they had a lot of fun playing together, it was a fun evening! Christmas Day was spent at our house also, my parents, grandma, and sister came up to spend it with us. Jonathan had to work until 1 pm, so once he got home we had lunch (actually breakfast for lunch), put Blake and Jonathan down for naps and played some games. Finally around 4 we got around to opening gifts. It's probably the longest I have ever waited to open presents, it was a little strange not doing it first thing in the morning, but we had a great time!


Every year growing up we had waffles and eggs for breakfast, so despite being later in the day, we still HAD to have them!


My grandpa made that rocking horse for me when I was close to Blake's age, so my dad got it out of the attic and cleaned it up a little for Blake.... he loves it!


It was a John Deere/Elmo Christmas for Blake... here's his lawnmower


His tractor books...


And Elmo chair.... his favorite!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

Winter Wonderland

I LOVE SNOW! So I was very excited to have a huge snow storm this Christmas.... we spent a lot of time at my parents house since Jonathan was working a lot, and they got over a foot of snow! It was really the first time Blake was old enough to "play" in the snow, we had lots of fun!





He would've stayed outside ALL day if I let him


Our trash bag sled....


Just another reason we love auntie SOOO much!

OK, I pulled her too, but nobody took the picture for proof!
