Happy Birthday to me!!!

For my birthday Danny got me a 2004 Chevy Tahoe. That is Alex, the car, and Danny at the dealership last night. My new car is pretty decked out!!! Has everything you can think of in it and is just very luxorious, dvd player, leather seats (a must with small children!!) seat warmers a bunch of buttons that I have no idea what they go to. Oh and instead of moving my seat closer to the peddals, I can move the peddals closer to me. I thought that was really cool!!

I have to tell you a funny story. Last night at the dealership ,we took Alex because we knew we wouldn't be home until later, so we took him with us. Anyways there wasn't hardly anybody there. A few salesmen and no other customers, so Alex was kinda free to run around, somewhat. Well we were sitting in the i guess lobby and there were a bunch of offices around with great big windows and Alex ran into one of them. Well, we told him to come out and he ran full force into the window. It was the funniest thing!! It looked like one of those windex comercials.Danny, Cliff (our sales guy/friend) and I laughed so hard!! It made me cry a little I was laughing so hard. Alex, didn't cry, but didn't think it was as funny as we all did. Anyways, it was pretty funny!! After we got everything situated with the trade in's and the car was ours, we went to I-HOP for my birthday dinner. It was nice (I'm very easy to please!!)

Nightmares

So, I'm pretty sure that Alex had his first nightmare last night. Alex is afraid of Danny's truck when he revs his engine. He has a really loud sounding engine, and I think Alex thinks that the truck is going to eat his daddy. Anyways, I had just barely drifted off to sleep last night when I heard Alex scream. Of course I jump up in my bed, thinking somebody was in his room or something. I look at our video monitor to make sure there was nobody in there and then after about 30 seconds of crying Alex starts saying, daddy car, daddy car. I'm pretty sure it was just a little nightmare about daddy getting eaten by the big blue truck. It's kinda funny!!

I'm going private!!

So, nadja informed me that she found a pic of Alex just by googling the name Henry Alexander Bradford. It kind of freaks me out a little so please e-mail me your e-mail addresses, because I'm switching over to private.

So, I finally got my Christmas tree decorated. We put it up over a week ago so clear out some space and I just barely put the decorations on it last night after I put Alex to bed. I just knew that he would be so much help!! He has already torn off half of th e decorations. I thought that since he was a year older than last year, he would somewhat leave the tree alone, boy was I wrong!! I still have lots to do when it comes to decorating the house. I'm going to buy some new stockings so that we can all have matching ones (last year Alex got a baby's first Christmas one, so it was only good for one year) and I'm going to get a new one for everybody (including baby Cameron) so we will have one for him also!

Tomorrow my mom, sister and I are having a yard sale. I'm so excited!! I'm selliing some of Alex's stuff like his crib sets (i had two, one that I bought and one that my aunt gave me) I have a new one for cam and dont see a point in keeping all three. I'm going to go through all of his toys and his clothes, even though I probably wont get rid of those. He never really had tons of clothes and we have a new baby boy to dress also. I'm just so excited to sale stuff!!! I'd sale everything I owned so that I could give our family a really good Christmas, but hopefully I will make enough money so that I can give us a decent Christmas. Alex desperatly needs clothes and Danny and I are pretty well set! Cam is also well set, just Alex.:)

Our Thanksgiving weekend!!

So, this weekend we had some family come down and stay with us. Brian, Layne and Devri got here on Wed and Sara and Telden got here Thursday morn. On wed night Layne, Nadja, and I went to see "Twilight" and i absolutly loved it!! I cant wait to see it again!! Alex LOVED playing with Devri, they would fight over juice and toys but he enjoyed having somebody to play with, other than me. I really enjoyed having everybody here also. I was kind of worried about not having room for Sara and her friend (i found out they we're staying with us at the last minute) but it worked out. I just let myself get too stressed out about it. I loved having Brian, Layne and Devri here. It was nice to not spend the weekend by myself, and Sara and Telden kind of came and went then come again, because Overton is'nt the most exciting place to be. On Saturday Brian, Layne, and Devri went home (let me just tell you that it didnt take long for Alex to start missing cousin Devri!!) and Sara, Telden, Danny, Alex, and I were all going to go into vegas, which I was not excited about at all!! I was so exhausted the last thing I wanted to do was go walk around Vegas. But, we decided to drive up to Boulder Dam instead (i was alittle relieved!!) When we got there traffic was so much traffic backed up for miles, so we decided just to go to the visiting center. There wasn't a whole lot to look there, but Alex got a llittle stuffed long horn sheep. It was funny because he ran right over to it picked it up and put it in a head lock and would not let go, so we decided we better buy it for him. So, after spending about 20 min at the visiting center we decided to come back and go to St. Thomas to see all the historical building foundations. We got there about 1 hour before the sun started going down, so we only got to see one foundation before we had to turn around and leave. The sun was starting to set and there was no source of light to be seen, so decided to get out before we had to find our way back to the truck by cell phone light. By the time we got home I was beyond exhausted!!! To get to St. Thomas we had to do just a little hiking, and i was exhausted to begin with!! When we got home Sara and Danny made us some shrimp and chicken gumbo, which was delicious!! and that was when Alex started to really miss little cousin!! He got so bored!! He started getting into everything, throwing stuff (more than normal) just being a little terd!!) Then Aunt Bonnie, uncle Shane, and cousin Chloe cam over and Alex tried playing with Chloe like he did with Devri. Not good!!! After a couple minutes, though, he got it that Chloe was not Devri and she was just a little baby and he couldn't attack her, so he started jumping on me. Oye!!! I was just so tired, i put him to bed and went to bed at 9:30. It was a long week but I really did enjoy it!! I'm just happy to have my house back right now.

I have come to realize...............

I have come to realize how much crankier I am with this pregnancy. When I was pregnant with Alex I had the days where everything just got on my nerves and I was just a little cranky. It seems that I'm cranky more days with this pregnancy than I was when I was when pregnant with Alex. I dont know if it's because if I get any rest, it's very little, or if i'm just a little more hormonal. All I know is that some days everybody ,including Alex, just bugs me!!! Even our poor cat Dash, who was kind of like another son to me and now most days i think about giving him away. Alex would most likely be devistated if we got rid of his kitty, and that's the only thing that has saved the poor kitty from getting the boot! It's a good thing i only have three months left, or who knows what I'd do!!! I feel real bad for everybody who has to put up with me, but what can I say?? I'm not usually this cranky!!! and I will get back to normal after I pop this baby out (hopefully) For my sake and everybody else's i hope that I get back to normal!
