We've Moved...

Time is sure going fast and the best(scariest) part is that baby #3 will be here in 7 weeks. With the holidays here I know time will go by super fast and I won't be prepared ( are we ever?) We have finally moved into our new house..we've actually been here for a month but since I don't update very often. We have been busy trying to get settled and situated. Here are some random pics of what we've been up to the last few months! They are in random order since I don't know how to upload them right..and its alot of pictures...so enjoy!


Look at her lip...Chad showed up in the ER while I was working and gave me a heart attack...he thought she might need some stitches.

Yes, Batman is still in costume.

Batman and Batgirl...they were a big hit!

Decorating the tree..Cori took an ornament said "ball" and threw it on the ground

always in trouble...always not wearing a shirt

My sis and me...she is due only 6 weeks after me...how fun.

Best shot of the cousins at Thanksgiving...that's not even half.

One of our new favorite activities is to go to Home Depot and build projects.

Its About Time....

I figure we are a little behind...we are officially announcing that baby#3 is on the way. I am about 21 weeks along and am due in January. We are deciding to be surprised on the sex since we already have one of each. So far everything looks good. They say the baby is measuring somewhat small but I think I am due for a small baby. :) Jaxon is excited to be a big brother again and thinks we should name it "Batman." Surprise, surprise. We are struggling with finding a girl name so any suggestions....anything beats batman. Time is flying by and some days I forget I'm even pregnant except for the added pounds on the scale and the pants not being able to fit. Hopefully we will be in our new house before this new baby arrives. Wish us luck!

One Crazy Month....

4th of july celebration....these pics came out in reverse order...but I'm not going to rearrange them!

always in batman costume...going on 4 months

all tuckered out after his birthday party

cori loves to swim too!

his birthday wouldn't be complete without a batman cake...thanks to my mom for helping it look so good!

cruise to mexico

and it was only a month....it could have easily been two. :) Life has definitely been crazy lately. Over the past month, we have...moved out of our house into a one bedroom apt/garage, gone on a cruise, celebrated Jaxon's birthday, taken a trip to Logan, and on top of it all...Chad is getting ready to leave me for a week to do a 50 mile hike with the Young Men...i'm jumping for joy!! It has been a been a big whirlwind but hopefully things will start slowing down soon. Jaxon is officially 3 and counting down already to his next birthday ( and he already told me that tonight is Christmas so he can have more presents.) He is a fish in the water and is swimming so good. He just learned to dive to the bottom and pick up toys. Cori is a little diva and is learning a few new words and thinks the world revolves around her...which it does.

Life lately...

First time bowling

Always in costume

Cake all over my face...thanks to Chad!

Digging in on her very own cake!

Her latest trick...usually she tries brushing her teeth.

Taking after dad!

So I have never been very good about updating my blog but at least I do it every once in awhile..haha.

Cori turned one...and it was a very eventful party. Chad shoved cake all over my face but at least Cori enjoyed it. I can't believe how big she is. She is walking all over the place and loves to tease her big brother...I guess he's finally getting pay back.

We have a new addition to our family...Batman!! Jaxon aka Batman is always in costume. I let him where it everywhere except to bed and church and he has to take the mask off when he eats. I get reprimanded if I refer to him as Jaxon while in costume. "Me not Jaxon, Me Batman!" He is such a hoot. I can't believe he will be three in June. He is talking so much and makes me laugh everyday. He took swim lessons and now is like a fish in the water. Hard to believe because at lessons he wouldn't get into the water....now I can't keep him out.

Chad and I are trying to survive each day ...literally. It seems like life is always so busy and never seems to slow down. We are going on a cruise at the end of June (without kids) so we are very excited to get a vacation by ourselves even though I can't believe that I am leaving my kids for 5 days!!

I have to brag a little....

Tonight I went to a baby shower for my sister-in-law and when I got home...the house was spotless, laundry done, folded, and put away. Chad had cleaned, mopped and even cleaned the carpets! He is always doing everything I ask(tell) him to do and usually doesn't complain. He has to put up with alot married to me but he does! I don't talk about him much but I wanted him to know how much I loved and appreciated him!! I love ya babe!!

(I think he cleans the house better than I do!!)

Happy Birthday Cori Jean!!

It's so hard to believe that this year has come and gone! Cori has added so much joy (and drama) to our house. She is such a little stinker with a lot of spunk! We love you Cori!

The Happiest Place on Earth....

Mickey Mouse...but thats as close as he would get!
Able to sneak away and ride a roller coaster...Chad's sister watched the kids...don't worry we didn't leave them alone...haha

Cori loved the carousel

The long awaited Dumbo ride

Becoming Daddy's little girl

loved running from the water before it could reach his feet

loved playing in the sand

loved eating the sand...constantly

attempt at a family pic

couldn't keep Cori out of the water..she loved it and crawled to her hearts content

the look on Cori's face says it allThe LA Zoo

We were able to sneak out of town for a few days last week and take Jaxon to Disneyland! He loved it and had a blast. It was hard at first explaining to a two year old that he had to wait in order to ride Dumbo but eventually he got the idea. He was able to ride a ton of rides....even the Matterhorn. I was surprised that Cori could go on most of the rides too! (Chad and I both haven't been to Disneyland since we were little.) Of course the highlight was getting to meet Mickey Mouse! We were also able to hang out at the beach and go to the zoo. It was so nice to get away from all of the craziness and spend time together as a family! Sorry...but there are a ton of pictures...it's so hard to choose. I had a lot of favorites!
