Proud of us!!

So, today Danny, Alex, and I went to church!! We haven't been in about a year or so, and so we just decided it was time!!! We know that we should go every week, but us being the heathens we are, we very rarely go. It started at 1:00 p.m. which is Alex's nap time so we only stayed for sacrament meeting, but it's a start. Dont you think? Alex was surprisingly very well behaved! He loved singing!!! As a matter of fact, he loved it so much that people were turning around to look at him. He was pretty restless, trying to keep himself awake. He was climbing all over me sitting down, then standing up again, but he never made a fuss and only tried to get off the bench twice. Danny and I thought that he would be more difficult, but he was a good little boy. Anyways, I was proud of us for making it to sacrament meeting, and maybe we'll start going more often??!!

Alex is TWO!!!

Yummy Yummy!!Alex is licking the frosting off his face Alex and daddy with the "Ooh Ha cate"

We celebrated Alex's birthday one day early. His birthday is actually today (the first of Feb) but I didnt want his birthday party to be about a football game that I dont want to watch in the first place. I wanted it to be his day even though i doubt he would even know the difference, but I would:) Anyways, We had all the cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents here to celebrate with us. It was a good night!

Happy Anniversary

So, yesterday was our big 5 year anniversary. I took Danny to the movies, because that was what he wanted, and my parents babysat Alex. While we were out Danny had them put up my "surpirse" which happened to be a new bed. My mom kept calling Danny and I wasn't sure why, but I didn't ask any questions because I like being surprised. It is a california king size canopy cherry wood bed. He got it on sale for only $300.oo and the original asking price was over $600.00. I absolutly love it!! We have to get a new mattress because our bed was only a king and a cal king is about a foot longer (that's why there is a blanket shoved in at the end of the bed) but the new mattress can wait until we get our income taxes back. I'm so spoiled!!!!Danny has been so good to give me what I want, and I have wanted a canopy bed my entire life!! He just happened to find a beautiful one for the right price, and some day we'll have furniture to match, but that can wait. It's not the most important thing:) Anyways, thankyou Danny for my new bed, I love it!!!! Oh, we had to make some adjustments to get our current mattresses to fit until we can get a new one, and Alex is such a cute little thing. Danny had set his drill on the counter in the bathroom, and Alex went and got it, took it over to the bed and had it ready to start drilling, I of course grabbed it from him before he could scratch the wood, and told him to go get his own drill. So, Alex goes and finds his drill and "helped" daddy fix the bed by drilling and by moving around the support beams for the mattress. It was so cute!! I wish I would have gotten some pics, but I always think about it too late, then Alex is done doing whatever he was doing. Oh well!! Anyways, our anniversary was great, and to many more years of wedded bliss:)

Alex, my little booger!!

Alex has been growing and learning so much lately. He has been learning one to three new words a day!! His "sentences" are really hard to understand still. You can only pick out one or two words, but he knows exactly what he's talking about.
I really didnt think that his "terrible two's" could get much worse, but they have. He has completly started ignoring me. He can ignore me like I dont even exist, which gets extremly frusterating. He has started whining more, which also can get kind of irritating. I've been trying to teach him that to get something, he needs to use his words and not his whining, because whining is just really annoying!! He is so much fun, but some days I dont know why I decided to have babies;)He's a good boy, and we really enjoy him!!! I just HATE these terrible two's and the closer he gets to actually being two, the worse he gets.

So, last night I put my crib together. Is't it so pretty? It has a little storage drawr that goes underneath, but I havent gotten to that yet. That's Danny's job, even though i'll probably do it. I'm so excited, I'm getting to be a little impatient:)! Anyways, now baby Cam has a place to sleep even though I have alot to do in his room that I would like to get done before he gets here. We need to clear out all the office stuff and paint and bring in the changing table that is still in Alex's room. I cant believe that it's almost time for him to come!! It really has flown by so fast and I just need some projectes to do to keep me busy until then. We have alot going on though, so it shouldn't drag too much. Danny's and my 5 year anniversary is Jan 24 then Alex's b-day is on Feb 1 and Henry's b-bay is on Feb 5 then Valentines day and the wk after V-Day I plan on being induced:). I dont think that I can wait much longer, I'm just too excited!!! Anyways, I guess that's enough of me rambling on:)

Annoying post office lady!!!!

So, there is this lady who is like the post office janitor and she is really starting to make me mad. The other day I went into the package claim part to pick up some stamps. They have a wind chime type thingy that wrings when you open the door, only it's hung on the door handle. Alex goes over and starts playing with it (it makes cool noises and it's right at eyes view for little ones) Of course I tell Alex to stop a couple times and she comes in and was all, he cant play with that, he's going to break it. I said, I know that, I'm trying to get him to stop, he's almost two, what do you want from me? She really caught me on a bad day!! I had a bad cold and Alex was acting like a 2 year old being a total stinker!! So, we got our stamps, sent off our mail, then left. Well today we go in to pick up the mail and Alex wasn't wearing shoes, he should have been but he wasn't, but he WAS wearing socks. As soon as we walked in the door, she was mopping the floor and Alex wanted to get down and walk. I put him down and she says, you shouldnt let him walk in here bearfoot, he'll catch a cold!! I just looked at her like "excuse me?" he's not bearfoot!!! He should be wearing shoes, but he's fine!! So i just walked past her ignoring her and as we walked out she looked at me and said, you know, you shouldnt let him walk around barefoot in here. It's dangerouse! Again I just looked at her, picked Alex up and walked out. I swear, next time she'll probably tell me that I shouldn't let Alex walk at all!!! I'm a little hormornal, and I think that she needs to shut her mouth because she dont know me, and I dont know her. I find her to be very annoying!! Anyways, thats enough ranting for one day!!
