A little over A week in a half left

2012-02-07T15:01:00.001-08:00

Zeke is coming in 12 days! I am so excited and nervous and all the feelings in between. I am excited to be able to mother another one of Heavenly Father's spirit children. Children are truly a miracle and am so thankful to my Heavenly Father in trusting me with another spirit. Holding a newborn baby you can really feel Heavenly Father's love for you, because its the same exact love you feel for that tiny little spirit. Its going to be so much fun to see the different personality this baby will have.; because already i feel he is more active in the womb then Jeremy was. (I dont remember too much from Jeremy's pregnancy but feel that Zeke is much more active) It will be fun to see how Jeremy is going to handle being a big brother. We just bought our new double stroller and Jeremy LOVES pushing it around pretending Zeke is in the carseat. He pretends to hold him carefully and he gives pretend baby weke kisses and puts him in the carseat. HE pretends to carry him and give him to me. I think he pretends to tickle him to make him laugh. I hope that Jeremy will adjust well to not being the center of attention. I think he will do a great job. I just need to do my part in letting Jeremy help out and make sure i give him his own time. Its gong to be so different from going from a one kid family to a two kid family, Mike and I talked about it and we will be a "real" family now. One baby you can consider yourself still "single" but now we will have another one, a true family. Families do come in all shapes and colors and sizes, but to us having two babies is like having a "real"family.

I'm nervous because I have to go through a c-section again. I know what to expect but still nervous. Different doctor, different hospital, different experience. I'm nervous about breastfeeding again, excited as well. These emotions are so different from the first time, because I know what to expect, but every baby is so different and having to manage two children, ooy vey! This post is mainly for me to remember how I am feeling.

Some new things Jeremy says

2012-01-07T11:16:00.000-08:00

This post is mainly for me to remember what Jeremy says.

"See, I told you it was....." like See i told you baby weke was moving. Or see, i told you it was working.

"NOOOOO, thank you"

"I can't believe that"

"im coughing, i need medicine"

"I'm not breving, i need medicine" He says this everytime I say Im having a hard time breathing.

"My back hurts, i need a back esage" He again hears me say this

On baby news, i have a little over 6 weeks to go!!!!

Christmas 2011 and funny things jeremy says

2012-01-02T17:21:00.000-08:00

We had such a wonderful christmas this year. Im not going to go into too much detail about what we all got, but jeremy got his "really fast race crack" from santa and loves playing with it. I really just wanted to write down what Jeremy said about his little people nativity set. All December, baby jesus spent the time on top of the stable. He kept saying that he was just a "tid" (kid). And the angel was baby Jesus. New years eve, Jeremy was sitting on Mike's lap and someone put baby JEsus back in the stable and the angel on top. He looks at his nativity and said, "no, no, no." He got up and fixed it, he said" that this (the angel) is baby jesus and this (baby jesus) was just jesus tid friend" HE really says the funniest things.

The other day I was getting ready and he said, "whoa, thats a big fat belly!" It made me kinda said and told him that its because baby Zeke is in there. So now when he sees my belly, he calls it the "baby belly" Got to love three years olds and their honesty.

Jeremy's explanation of how he came here

2011-12-23T21:46:00.000-08:00

On Wednesday, my mom, my sister, Jeremy and I were on our way down to the LA temple to attend Breann's wedding. Jessica told me you sure made a cute baby. I agreed with her and and jeremy started talking about how he came here.

Jeremy: "My mommy bought me for 3 moneys."

Jessica: "Oh really" That's really cheap, can I get something as cute as you for that much?"

Jeremy: "Yeah, I was in a box and my mommy chose me."

Jessica: "Oh because you were cute?" (or something like that)

Jeremy: "Yeah, all the people didn't chose me and my mommy did."

Me: " Jeremy, I think you were in my tummy like Baby Zeke."

Jeremy: "No, I was in a box and baby Weke is in a box too cuz you chose me."

I just thought that this was so cute how he thinks he was in a box and I chose him and the other people didn't. He certainly says the cutest things. This conversation isn't word for word, becasue I can't remember exactly what he said. But it went something like that.

The funny sayings of Jeremy

2011-12-04T20:12:00.001-08:00

As you can see, Jeremy has turned into quite the funny boy. He says the funniest things, and I wanted to write them down so i wouldn't forget them.

About baby zeke:

*Mommy, baby weke is soo tute. (baby zeke is so cute)

*Mommy, i yuve baby weke sooo mutch

*Baby weke is moving lots

*wake up baby weke......as he is shaking my belly

*mommy your belly is getting so big

*mommy is baby weke big enough rolercoasters? (i say no, he is going to be tiny, he says oh, but im big enough rollercoasters, yes you are)

*baby weke is soo happy

*can i cuddle baby weke? (he likes to lay by my with his head on my belly as he has his hand on my belly and rubs it. He LOVES kissing my belly.

*I tell him that he is such a sweet boy and if he will teach baby Zeke to be sweet, he says "yes mommy, and i teach him how to play basketball, and to play in my playroom"

*In the car, I wont be mad at baby weke, i will be happy at him

I am sure there are more, but right now, i cant think of others.

funny random things

*mommy, austin is a boy, and emma is a girl. They are my friends, my friends are so tute, huh mommy?

*If you ask him if you are a boy or a girl he says no, you are.........whateverr you may be. for example, jeremy is mommy a girl? no, you are a mommy. To my sister, no you are a seeka, to daddy no you are a daddy...im sure you get the picture.

driving to the store, "turn your flashlights on people, oh i am so mad at them!" He wanted their christmas lights on.

*ohh my butt!!!

*about scrooge on the christmas carol, "he is sad mommy, i need to cuddle him so he is happy"

*mommy we can't go to mountain mountain, cuz its closed right now, right mommy?

*daddy get out of my room, im naked...(i was getting him dressed)

*don't mess up my mohawk

*can i have only one tandy mommy? (candy)

*we have to buy a new car cuz this one is broken......(our car is not broken......don't know where he gets these things)

*as he is cuddling in bed, "daddy, i yuv my nipples"

Sometimes I think he just says things to make us laugh........he does a great job at it!

That is all i can think of right now, but he does think of the funniest things, and I need to wirte them down as soon as he says them so i dont forget....until next time!

So we are having another boy!

2011-09-28T17:11:00.001-07:00

We are pleased to announce that we are having another little boy. We are so excited for it! Jeremy is excited about having a little brother and being a bug brother. As of right now, we are naming him Ezekiel James. He will be called Zeke. Or in the word of jeremy, baby week. It took us some time to come up with a name that we both agreed on, but Ezekiel seemed to be right. This pregnancy has been so different for me. Sick in the earlier months, and showing my baby bump way early and now, being 18 weeks along, im already starting to feel the braxton hicks contractions. they arent all the time, but annoying!! I read online, that with your second pregnancy you can feel them a lot sooner. The website suggested that i drink more water.....so im trying to do so. We look forward to meeting this little baby. Im wishing time would go a little bit faster. February needs to be here! However, I am so excited that the Holiday season is approaching, which will make time go faster. There is so much I need to do to get ready for this baby. I have to take down wallpaper in the room he will be living........its pink with a flower border and i have taken down one wall. I just hate doing it! Anyone want to come and do it for me? Then i need to paint, and set up the crib then go through all of jeremys clothing. I guess its a good thing that i have lots of time.

So on other news, i did say i would blog about this summer, but i just dont feel like it. We had a blast and my computer screen has a big crack in it so i cant really see what im writing. So once i order the screen and get it fixed, maybe I will blog and post pictures of this summer. BSo untill next time........

Jeremy Says the cutest things! And BIG NEWS

2011-08-03T13:55:00.000-07:00

I know I have tons to blog about!!! There is Jeremy's 3rd birthday, my trip up to Idaho for Jessica's College Graduation, and our yearly family trip up to Laughlin. I just need to upload all the pictures. So next posts.....

I love playing the "I love you game" with Jeremy. It started when he started talking back and repeating everything. I would start by saying I love you, then he would say I love you. I would say I love you more, he would say I love you more. It is a fun game to play with your 3 year old. Last week he started telling me, " i love you mostest mommy" I wold say "i love you too sweetheart". He would say "I love you mostest mommy". He was trying to play the game with me. Last week we were waiting for Mike to get in the car and Jeremy said it again. "I love you the mostest mommy." I told it to him back. Then out of the blue, Jeremy said, "I'm so glad I found you mommy!" Isn't that the sweetest thing ever? I have never said that to him. That was his own thought process. It brought tears to my eyes. Now our I love you game is "I love you to the tree", he wold say I love you way high mommy. When we were in Laughlin, he would tell me, "I love you on that sign mommy" It can go on forever. Its a fun game for sure! He is just the most sweetest 3 year old I know.

Now our big news!!!!! We are expecting our second baby! I am about 10 weeks along and we are so happy. The due date is Feb 27 2012. So far everything is going well. My next appointment is on the 12th of august. Jeremy loves talking to the baby. He says we are going to have a baby sister like penny (his friend).

The forth of july!

2011-07-08T09:48:00.000-07:00

We had a fun fourth of July. We started the day by getting doughnuts and going to our local parade. Jeremy chose his "black dough-ut" We ate our doughnuts and waited for the parade to start.

One of the first "floats" to drive by, passed out a flag to everyone on the sidelines. Jeremy loved waving it as each group passed by.

Jeremy loved the "fire crucks"

We liked all the old cars!

I liked this one!

Santa even came!

One of our favorite places to eat came!!

What a funny face!

There were tons of old cars.

Jeremy on daddy's shoulders waving his flag as the floats drove by. The parade was fun. I think we started a new tradition....maybe.....

The rest of the fourth was non eventful. We played super mario brothers, and took naps. Once the evening came, we went to my parents and ate hamburgers and hotdogs. Once it got dark we had our own "fireworking" show. Jeremy was a little nervous about them at first but by the end he was brave and loved holding his own "parkors" (sparklers). The people in our neighboring community had the fire works that shot up in the air. Who needs to drive somewhere when you have neighbors who will break the law. hehe We had a fun time!

More Summer Fun!

2011-07-05T16:40:00.000-07:00

This would be Jeremy's choice of clothing. All he like to do is run around in his undies. Its Summer and it is HOT! Don't worry we dress him before we go anywhere (unless we walk across the street to grandma's house). Having him wear only his undies, is great because he likes going pee all by himself, and having a shirt and shorts just get in the way.

Jeremy is such a goof. I was getting him ready for the day and his pj top got stuck on his large head. He started laughing and I had to take a picture. He looked so funny. He is such a goof.

This would be our favorite summer treat. We LOVE Menchi's frozen yogurt. You get to serve yourself. The flavor of yogurt and all the toppings you want. Jeremy chose pink yogurt with animal cookies, m&m's, and sprinkles. We love love love frozen yogurt!

Aquatic Center

2011-06-28T08:55:00.000-07:00

Last week we went to the Aquatic Center with our good friends Amber, Laila, Rachel and Kaylee. We had a blast. Jeremy loved going down the little slide all by himself. At first he was a little weary about the water, but once he found that he could walk all by himself without going under the water, he started to get comfortable. A little too comfortable. We had fun playing in the water and making water shoot out of different places. After playing for a while, we decided to get some ice cream to share. It was yummy.

I still have more to blog about, I just need to put my pictures into my computer!

Kick off to a GREAT Summer!

2011-06-15T16:26:00.001-07:00

We kicked off the summer this monday. W watched Jeremy's friend Penny and we went to the park and had fun on the swings and slides and playing in the sand. We walked home and ate some lunch. After lunch we decided to play in the water. I filled up buckets of water and had the kiddos "paint" the garage and driveway. My friend Amy and her daughter, Cali also came to join us. Amy helped me wash all of the outside toys. The kiddos loved running under the hose. Thanks warm weather for coming so we can enjoy the outside water fun!

We eat lots of apples in this house. Jeremy loves them! He was being very silly and how he was eating them.

Today, I took Jeremy to Scooter's Jungle.He had a blast. He loved going down this big slide!

Jeremy loved going down the zip-line. He held on very well! He is so strong!

Here is an up-close oh Jeremy going down the slide. Doesn't he look like hes having fun?

Jeremy wanted to play air hockey. He was actually pretty good. He would try and stop the puck when it came near him. He would then hit the puck over to my side. If the puck looked like it would go into my goal, I would miss hitting the puck so it would go in my goal. He loved getting the goal. He saw that he was getting goals and I wasn't. So, he would move his hitter and let me get some. I told him that he was suppose to block the puck and he told me mommy gets goals too! HE had tomake sure it was fair. He is the sweetest.

After Scooter's Jungle, we met our church group at Central Park. Jeremy loves playing with Austin. The would go down the slide and go up the stairs, they stayed very busy.

Needless to say, he had a very busy day. He zonked out when he cuddled with daddy while watching toy story. I love these boys!

I love Our Mornings!

2011-05-17T13:39:00.000-07:00

I Love my mornings with Jeremy! Every morning, Jeremy waked up usually between 7:30-8:00 and comes into my bed and cuddles while we watch a movie. This happens all the time. After cuddling for a few minutes he asks for some cereal. So I go down stairs and get him some dry cereal and chocolate milk and then he eats and drinks while we watch the movie. Some mornings, i go back to sleep while he watches. Once the movie is over, usually around 10, we go downstairs and we eat breakfast and get ready for the rest of the day.

I love my 2 year old. he is so much fun. He has his tantrums, but they aren't that often. He is usually very sweet. He makes it easy to be his mother. Once we are ready for the day, we play or run errands, or go on walks, We have a very open days.

I just love my baby boy Jeremy! We have lots of fun together!

HAPPY MOTHER"S DAY TO THE MOTHERS THAT MEAN THE MOST TO ME!!

The Month of April

2011-04-27T16:55:00.000-07:00

The first weekend in April, Mike, Jeremy, and I drove up to Utah for my Nauvoo Class reunion. We drove up on Friday night when Mike got home from work. Our goal was to pull an all night drive, but as Mesquite got closer, we decided to stop and sleep for the rest of the night. We stayed at the Virgin River......worst experience ever! The whole hotel smelled of smoke, the beds were tiny and hard as a rock and not to mention our neighbors. Lets just say it was like we were in a movie. Where a family comes to rest and the couple next door are "having fun" if you know what I mean. Not fun at all. However, the rest was necessary and well needed. We woke up early so we could get into Springville Utah for lunch. We stayed with Mike's sister, Jami and her family. I love her family. She has three little girls who are just so much fun. After we showered and got ready, we drove up to Salt Lake to walk around Temple square. We met up with my awesome sister and a couple of her friends to just visit. After we walked around, Mike and I went up to Bountiful to my reunion. Only FIVE of my nauvoo friends showed up. It was a lot of fun to catch up with them and remember old times.

Then on Sunday morning, we woke up to SNOW!!! It was fun. JEremy did not like the snow at all. He didnt like being cold ( I don't blame him). He spent most of the time in the garage with a scowl on his face. He is DEFINETLY a So Cal kid. After we played in the snow, we went over to my Best friend Allysa's house for breakfast and conference. We enjoyed waffles and bacon with her cute little family and parents. Once the session was over, Jeremy and I said goodbye to Mike as he left to go back to California so he could get to work on Monday. Then Jeremy and I drove up to Idaho with my sister so we could drive home with her on thursday. We had a FUN week. As Jessica took finals and went to class, Jeremy and I hung out with my roomie from Nauvoo Miriam and her cute sons. We also hung out with my other roomie KAtie and her cute kids. Idaho has to be one of the coldest palces EVER!! We had a good time. Jessica and I left on Wednesday night and drove to Saint George and stayed the Days Inn. It was a much better expierence. A big king bed with fluffy pillows, way comfortable. We woke up early on Thursday and drove the rest of the way home. Jessica and I had tons of fun. Jeremy was the BEST little boy I could have ever asked for. HE just sat in the back of the car and watched MEGamind over and over and over........
On April 13th we went to Disneyland and I FORGOT my camera. IT was a wonderful day spent with my parents, Jessica, and Jordan. Jeremy had so much fun this year. He was able to go on more of the rides and enjoyed every minute of it. We asked him if he wanted to wait to see Mickey or go on another ride, and he said another ride. We were able to go on EVERYTHING we wanted to. We stayed for the fireworks becasue JEremy wanted to see them, within 5 minutes of the show, Jeremy was out. It turned out to be a very fun day and look forward to continue this traditoon of going once a year.

Easter was tons of fun this year. We all got new Easter clothes....don't we look great? I think so.

Jeremy had so much fun hunting for "eggies." He was able to find them all with little to no help at all. The month of April had to be the best month so far.

The Month of February and March

2011-04-20T17:02:00.000-07:00

On February 24, Mike and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. I cant believe it has been that long. It seems so short but also so long. I love him so much. He IS the man of my dreams and my prince charming. He is a wonderful husband and an awesome daddy.

Sometime in february, we went to a horse ranch that boards Amber's mom's horse. We went with Amber and Laila and Rachel and Kaylee. This s a picture of Jeremy being sweet with Laila Kaylee. I just love this picture and how the girls are touching are so interested in Jeremy.

Here is a picture of us feeding Amber's mom's horse. Jeremy enjoyed feeding all of the horses.

Presidents Day weekend Jessica came home and we went to the Santa Monica Pier. I just love that we can go to the beach basically all year. It is one of my favorite places. The smell, the breeze, the sound, just everything about it!

We also went bowling! Jeremy couldn't bowl because our alley has the rule where the kids have to be 4 years old. We had fun anyway. We did absolutely NOTHING in March. No real excitement happened.......However April was exciting.....so until the next post.

The Month of January

2011-04-20T16:46:00.001-07:00

January was a fun month.We went to the "monster jam" truck show. Jeremy LOVED it. We had so much fun. IT was at the Anaheim Angels Stadium. I didn't do such a good job at taking this picture.

This is a picture of the "gave gigger" (grave digger) on his freestyle run. Oh my gosh this was so fun. The jumps the doughnuts, the noise, and how crazy these trucks go. Again, Jeremy loved seeing all the monster trucks.

Here is Jeremy so happy with all the "monster cucks" He had so much fun. He didn't even care about the loud noise. We would try to cover his ears, but he didn't want us too.

Not to mention it SNOWED, here in Santa Clarita. It was fun to see it fall. It didn't snow all that much, but for us born and raised southern Californians.......the 1/2 inch of snow was fun. Also, we started to potty train Jeremy. He was quite easy to train. He loves peeing standing up. We did have an issue with pooping, but now he is a big boy with a rare accident. Jeremy you are such a big boy and mommy and daddy are so proud of you.

The Month of December

2011-04-20T16:30:00.001-07:00

We had a very good Christmas. Jeremy had so much fun with the decorations and all of the "flashlights" on all of the houses. He kind of understood santa and bringing presents. The month os December was a good one, because Mike got a teaching job. For those who didn't know, he was out of a job since august. But on December 13, Mike started working for Northridge hospital as a PE teacher. The hospital is funding a grant that provides PE programs to elementary schools.

My dad, "papa dude" got Jeremy his own motorcycle. He loves it soo much. Thanks Papa Dude

Santa brought Jeremy a tool bench that he loves. Santa also brought him is own "e-tar" (guitar). Thats the one thing he asked for. He got so much for Christmas this year. It turned out to be a good Christmas!

We also did a ginger bread house.......Jeremy loved eating the candy.

And here is a picture with Santa at our ward christmas party. He did not want to sit on his lap, so we all stood behind him. All in all, it was a good month.

The Month of November

2011-04-20T09:25:00.000-07:00

In the month of November, we jumped in leaves lots, because our lovely tree in front dumps leaves by the hundreds. After raking up leaves a few times, we decided to wait until they were all of the tree. Jeremy LOVED jumping in the leaves and helping us rake. He would run and fall into the piles. Sure it took a little longer to do the job, but we had fun.

More leaf jumping.........

Since, my house has the big playroom, and can fit lots of people, we had Thanksgiving at our house. This is a picture of the table setting. One thing i regret, is not taking a picture of the group of people we had. We were all able to fit in the same room. The list of our company includes the following: Mikes parents, Mikes brothers family, Mikes sisters family, Mikes Aunt and Uncle, Mikes Grandparents, My Parents, my sister, my brother, My grandma and my Aunt Luana. We had Had a total of 19 adults and 6 kids. We had lots of fun sharing in thanksgiving.

And once again, more leaf jumping

Thank you Dad, Jessica, and AT&T

2011-04-18T17:52:00.000-07:00

Thankyou to my dad, who is by far the best daddy in the WHOLE world. He got my sister a new computer for her graduation in July, so she in return can give me her old MacBook. Thankyou to him. He does EVERYTHING for us. He helps me with my car, my house, my pool and anything else I need him for. He is the best handyman I know. Thankyou Daddy!

So The next person to thank is my best friend, my sister, Jessica. Thankyou so much for giving me your computer so i can blog again. Jessica is the best sister anyone can ask for. She is so smart and the best auntie seeka for my son Jeremy.

Thankyou everyone!!!1

The month of October

2010-12-03T14:08:00.000-08:00

Jeremy's latest favorite thing to do: put on daddy's football "hemet" He loves football! He talks about football games all day everyday. We ask him if he wants to play when he is older and he says "yes" He one day, will be a football star.

For Halloween, we went to a Halloween party at Jeremy's Nana's school dressed as a cowboy. He had lots of fun watching "monster house" and playing with nana, papa and Mrs. Hircsh.

During October, we went to Lambardi's Ranch a few times. We rode the train ride, pet the animals in the petting zoo, went through the corn maze, picked out a "Peacan" (pumpkin) and palyed on al the big pumpkins the had there. Jeremy had soo much fun!

This was Jeremy's official costume. He was a "pi-at" He was the cutest pirate if I have ever seen one! We even put fake tattoos on his arm. One said mom and the other was a skull and cross bone. Jeremy had lots of fun at our ward Halloween party playing games and "tuck or teet" (trunk or treating" We also went trick or treating with his friend Penny and Joshua and had lots of fun getting all his "nandy" Until next time.........

More of Jeremy's vocab

2010-10-11T13:38:00.001-07:00

Last week when I posted I forgot to post a lot of his cute words. I couldn't think of them at that time....so here it goes!

mon mong-Grandma (my mom)

seeka-Jessica (my sister)

du-id-dude (my dad)He goes by Grandpa Dude

buser-buster (my moms dog)

nordan/jodan-Jordan (my adoptive little brother)

fooball-football

hold ju-hold you. he says this when he wants to be held

yaya-Liala (my friends Amber's daughter)

Caye-cali (my friend Amy's daughter)

mink-pink

geen-green

boo-blue

yayo-yellow

back-black

gay-gray

oange-orange

Jeremy is talking so much now. As you can see, he has a very hard time with the letter "L" Almost all of his "L's" are "y's." He loves saying his prayers at night (most nights) He loves to copy the last word of each sentence. He loves to copy what we are saying....time to be careful! He is just growing up into an amazing little boy. We spend our days reading, which is now one of his favorite things to do. His favorite books are "Goodnight Moon" "Piggies" "King Bidgood in the bathtub" "Mom Says I Can" "Just Like Daddy" and "Pingo" He would love it if we read all of these books over and over all day.

We just got him a Black and Decker Tool set for being a good sleeper. We have had some problems with him going to bed....so what did we do? We bribed him with a sticker chart and a new toy. He now goes to bed with no problem. All we have to do his put him in his toddler bed, and give him a kiss and come back once more for another kiss! So we play with his tools all day to! Some of his other favorite activities are playing with the kitchen, blocks, cars, little people, and running with his football. He runs with his football and falls down (as if he were tackled) He will do this for an hour straight! Its quite humorous to watch!

All I can say is that he is turning into quite the little boy and not so much toddler! He is growing up WAY too fast!

A much needed update!

2010-09-30T13:23:00.000-07:00

Since I have been slacking on posting, I thought that I would post one to two pictures per activity that we have done over the summer. We spent countless hours in the pool. Sometime we would not put a diaper on Jeremy, so his swim trunks would fall down. I think that his little butt is the cutest! Mike bought a pool side basketball hoop; so we would have b-ball games all the time, sometimes even till midnight. The pool has been so much fun this summer!

This fourth of July, we had Mikes two sisters and their families over for a BBQ, swimming, fireworks and a walk to the park. Here is a picture of his cute girl cousins at the park.

For the first time this summer, we took Jeremy to Griffith Park to ride the ponies. He was so excited to get on the "horsie." After the ride was over, he felt a little scared and didn't want t go on again. I think he had fun, in the picture he looks a little worried........

Jeremy and I went to the beach many times this summer. Jeremy LOVES the beach. He plays in the sand and loves when we take him down to the water to put his feet in. I thought that this picture was cute because he looks like a little man "sunbathing" and eating his cracker.

This is a picture of Jeremy at the San Diego Zoo. He didn't want to be in his stroller and would not stay near us, so I had to buy a backpack leash for him. At first he didn't like it, but warmed up to it. He is quite the little climber and monkey himself..........

Jeremy turned two years old on July 22! I cant believe he has gotten so big. For his birthday we had family come over for swimming, pizza, salad, and Red-velvet cake (i made it from scratch...it turned out to be very yummy. the frosting was white-chocolate cream cheese.....yummy!) We had a "Yo Gabba Gabba" themed party. Gifts included, a big push car, yo gabba gabba toys, a golf/baseball set, a basketball bath toy, books, and some new clothes. He had so much fun; he especially loved when we sang to him!

After Jeremy's birthday, we drove to Laughlin, nevada. We go every year with my family. Jeremy had so much fun going on the "yides" (sea doos) We basically stayed in the water for the whole week while we were there! There was only one injury.....Jeremy touched a display light in one of the hotels gift shop and burned his tiny little thumb.....he was very sad. We love laughlin.

After Laughlin, we went to Sequoia National Park and camped for 2 nights and 3 days. We had tons of fun hiking and spending time with family.

Jeremy loved playing in the dirt at our campsite.....had to take a picture!

This picture got out of order. In May Jeremy and I went to Arizona for Jeremy's cousin, Cameron's baptism. We drove up with Mikes parents. It was a very quick trip but had lots of fun.

This is Jeremy's new face. We call it his male-model face. We tell him to do zoolander and he performs 90% of the time!

Jeremy and I drove down to San Diego twice and went to Sea World with his cousins Kelsey and Chloe. He loves his cousins very much. He enjoyed all of the shows and didnt complain at all!

Jeremy loves playing with the hose, so I have him water our lawn......hehe

Just this past weekend, we had the opportunity to drive up to Utah for a very special event. Mike's dad, Larry got inducted into the BYU hall of fame for football. There was a special ceremony and dinner which was very nice. Al of the inductees got to go on the field at half time at the BYU game, we had amazing seats......section 1 row 1!!

Since our seats were basically on the field, we got to talk to Cosmo!! Cosmo was at the end of our row, so I told Jeremy to yell at Cosmo to come and he did!

Overall we have had such an awesome fun filled summer. Jeremy's vocab is grwoing ever day! Here is a list of his new words.

yaown-lay down

s*it-sit

I yuv you-i love you

poot-toot or fart or whatever you want to call bodily functions

he yells "hey hey" to the animals when they are not doing what he wants them to

he says "sorry" when he wants us to move

juicey-juice

mulkie-milk

He has started to combine words to everything. From "I want..." "pease move mommy" car mommy, I really wanted to post his cute words. So until next time........

Our Summer!

2010-04-21T11:43:00.001-07:00

So This post will be a quick blurb of what has happened since December! We went to disneyland last week and had SOO much fun. Jeremy was a perfect angel there. He was never fussy or anything! He loved seeing "ickky"

Us and Pooh bear!

Tigger too!

We went to the Aquarium of the pacific in april and had SOO much fun there too! Afterwards we ate at Bubba Gump and this picture is of Jeremy after he ate 3 slices of pizza and some blue Jello!

Jeremy outside in the play area. He was running around screaming and havinf tons of fun. He loved seeing all of the "ishies"

Jeremy LOVES putting on different shoes and walking around in them!

Jeremy loves his "itty" Scratchy. He is an awesome cat to have with a toddler.1 He hardly ever scratches and lets Jeremy sit on him!

Our first bloody lip. He was walking and triped by the window seal and bit his lip.... sadness!

The new doo! I think he is the cutest kid alive!

The awesome toy Santa brought for Jeremy! He loves riding around in it and tipping it over so he can check the wheels! another thing that he likes doing is he stands on the seat when he is in motion! Watch out nitro circus... Jeremy is on his way! If he becomes a pro motto-cross we can say he started when he was 18 months old! That is if we allow him to....might be to dangerous! Ha Ha Well until next time!

So Im a Slacker!

2010-02-20T13:03:00.000-08:00

Lets see, we haven't done much since Christmas. So heres what we have been up to!

Anna:
I have been home taking care of Jeremy. Thats is always a hard job. HE is full of energy. Mike got me a mini pin for Christmas so i have been trying to potty train her....its just not working that well. She just doesn't get it! So needless to say she is outside all day! Poor little Bella. I work hard to keep the house clean....it stays clean for about 1 hour...hahaha! I went back to being a blonde. I love life as a blonde. It is just so much more fun!! So I have nothing exciting about me!

Mike:
Lets see, Mike is such a hard worker. He teached PE and then he coaches poll vault in the afternoons. On saturdays, he does a footballl camp. He has fun with that. He finished his masters which is exciting. HE won't be able to get it untill he does student teaching, thats going to be in the fall becasue his univerity made a HUGE mistake!! He graduated being proficient in his subject and national university didnt see that. So he had to take the CSET 3 times. He didnt pass the 3rd section so he was pretty upset. The school said he couldn't student teach until that was past. So we are hpong we can get him out of student teaching. He never had to take the CSET!!!! Becasue of his degree! Anyway other than that he is doing great!

Jeremy:
Lets see our little Jeremy is almost 19 months old. I cant believe it. At his 18 month check up, he was 23 pounds 10 onces and 31 inches tall! He has moved up the scale and is now in the 20th percentile. He has become the pickest eater. Heres his diet: oatmeal, yogurt, apple sauce, pb&j, chicken nuggets, pasta, mac and cheese, and anything sweet! He has the biggest sweet tooth (like his daddy). He has gone from being the BEST sleeper, into not the best. Im use to him sleeping 12 housr at night and 2-2hour naps. He sleeps 11 housr at night and takes only a 2 hour nap usually. I dont get much done anymore! oh well. As I am writing this, he is fussing in his crib and I havent even gotten ready for the day! So this is it for now!! Until next time!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

2009-12-16T14:28:00.000-08:00

Well, I am lazy to put pictures up because my computer runs at a super snails pace. I am loving the Christmas holiday. Its hard with Jeremy right now because I have to tell him no like all the time. He wants to unplug and plug in the Christmas lights, take the ornaments down, etc, etc etc. He just doesn't understand the words no. What 16 month old baby does? In the past week Jeremy has started saying some new words. He can say cracker, it sounds like crk kr. He says Coco, that is our dog. He still says Kitty. He can say Teeth, I ask him where are his teeth and he says tee as he points to them. He says daddy with smiles on his face...no mommy. I asked him to say mommy and he said daddy and pointed to me. The other day he brought me a ball and said ba. Just this past week he started to mimick more sounds. He is at a vewry fun age but a very hard age.
For christmas, Mike got me a small dog!! YAYY for me. Her name is Bella, she is a year old and is a mini-pin chiuahua mix. She has really taken to me. She follows me every where. Once we get our computer more memory, I will post picutres of everything you have missed. So Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Okay So Im slacking a bit!

2009-12-09T09:47:00.001-08:00

So I have been busy or lazy about posting. I dont really have anything exciting to blog and I think thats why I have been slacking. So for thanksgiving, I had it at my new house. Since my mom lives right across the street, she helped me bake the turkey. It turned out delicious. All day cooking for 15 mintues of eating.. Boy what a mess. Our Christmas plans are to stay home and enjoy our firstr christmas in our first home. For Christmas eve, we are having both families over for dinner. It is going to be crazy! There are going to be about 20 people. So wish me luck. Well happy holidays everyone and I will post pictures soon!

Happy Halloween!!

2009-11-02T09:35:00.000-08:00

For Halloween this year we went to Lambardy's ranch and picked out a pumpkin. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to carve it because I got sick in the middle of the week. We did go to our ward party and these are the pictures we took before it. On Halloween, we went trick or treating around our neighborhood and then to Mike's parent's neighborhood. Jeremy had lots of fun!

Our little Bam Bam

So cute! Right?

So our little family went as the Rubbles from the Flintstones.

Jeremy at 15 months!

2009-10-26T11:01:00.000-07:00

We went to an Alemany football game and Jeremy loved playing with the balooon. He loves smacking it all around. He would just laugh and laugh!

So we are growing Jeremy's hair out into the cute surfer look. I love playing with his hair in the tub. He is just so funny.!! So heres a crazy Mohawk that he will never go out in public with....hehe

Lets see..... Jeremy turned 15 months on the 22nd. He is the happiest baby I know. I guess hes not a baby anymore...hes a kid! He has become very opinionated! If he does not get what he wants he throws himself into a squatting position and has his hands in little fists ans scream at me! Its kind of funny.

Here is a list of what he can do:

* he is almost running. When he falls he just gets back up and starts to walk again. He has very good balance

*he says kitty when he see our cat. He says "kitty" and laughs with taht same "itty" sound

*he says Mama and Dada very rarely!

*When he wants something is says aw wa aw wa very loudly and points to what he wants.

*He is getting very good at copying our sounds that we make. He is almost saying book. He says "bo" after we say it. So hes getting close.

*He waves hi and bye

*Shakes his head yes and no. Also say "ya" Right now everything is no!! When Mike or anyone else looks at him and says hi he shakes his head no with a huge smile!

*He can sign the word poop..hehe When I ask him if he has a poop he signs it and usually he has one. But if you say the word he wil sign it! So the somprehention is almost there but not quite!

*When i am cooking, he grabs my leg and pushes me so I will hold him

*He loves playing with Mr. Potato head. He is very good at putting the pieces in the little holes.

* He is still taking 2 naps a day that ranges from 2-3 hours..I know hes a good sleeper. He is transfering into the 1 nap a day but is very grumpy if he does not get 2.

*He loves music. He carrys the drum sticks around and taps everything. If he doesn't have the sticks he will bang things with his hands. When we are at my parents house he lokes to play the piano. He will sit at my lap and play very nicely; he doesn't bang the keys hard at all. He also won't play untill I turn the piano light on...hes very professional.

* When we tell him no no he shakes his head no and does whatever he was doing anyway. He knows when hes not suppose to do anything. For example, he loves turning the TV on and off. He will go up to the TV shake his head no and pushes the button. Then when we go over to him and say no he pushes it as many times as he can. When we pull him away from it he smiles and laughs. He thinks getting in trouble is funny.....

Well thats all I can really think of So untill next time!

Our house!

2009-10-26T10:56:00.001-07:00

Well this is our new house! I will put pictures of the inside when we have totally moved in. So for now this is it. We love it here. The best part of it is living right next to my parents. Its not like everyone loves raymond at all! They knock and ask to come over. Its also great to know that this is our place where we will raise Jeremy and any other future children. Don't miss the post below!

We have moved in!!

2009-10-07T17:11:00.001-07:00

Well the move was a success! We are in our new home. Once everything is unpacked, I will post pictures of the house, the rooms, the pool, the massive work of a hill, and much more. We are so happy to be here. Jeremy loves it. He has so much room to move around. So until next time!

My crazy life right now!

2009-09-08T13:15:00.000-07:00

Well Mike andI baught a home and escrow closes on September 30th. We get to move in hopefully the 2nd of October. We really can't wait. As of right now we are living with Mike's parents to save a months rent from our old condo. All of our stuff is in storage and can't really post pictures up yet. Jeremy is 13 1/2 months old and is walking everywhere!! I can't believe it. This past year has gone by sooo fast. Jeremy said "daddy" at Mikes football game last friday night. We went up towards the locker room to see the team come back from half time and Mike was standing outside and I pointed to Mike and said Jeremy look its daddy...Jeremy then pointed to him and said it. I was amazed!! He has been saying mama and dada but this was clear as day!! Hes so cute and love every minute of him. So untill next time!!

Random pics of the summer....

2009-08-07T21:40:00.001-07:00

Cute as a bug. This is my favorite smile because it is just so funny. I apologize for having so many posts at once. But when you have a busy summer and a very busy baby...you really don't have that much time to blog!! I still have to post his birthday and our Laughlin trip, so look for those in the next few days. So please enjoy what I have posted.....

Jeremy is almost walking. He will take a few steps and then start to crawl!

Lock up your daughters.......

Hmmm....what should I do? And yes I do think Jeremy is rad!

At a a football passing game.

All ready for the beach.....

Jeremy loves graham crackers. He likes having two one for each hand. He takes a bite from one, and then the other.

Crazy hair....he wakes up with the craziest hiar...what does he do while sleeping?

New summer jammies. This picture is the beginning of one of his favorite games to play and one of mine and mikes least favorite. He takes out all the DVDs and then drops them on the ground and steps onthem...what a mess.

This picture was taken at a football BBQ. Mike's coaching staff had the honor of coaching the All Stars game and this was the BBQ they had to award the players and coaches.

Twilzzlers are so yummy....

2009-08-07T21:35:00.000-07:00

Since Jeremy has been eating solid foods, he likes to try everything we eat...including twizzlers. He will even take it out of our mouths! He is one stubborn baby..must get that from daddy....

Please give me more daddy! We don't give him candy all the time, we just give him little tastes. Don't forget the post below!

1st Carousel Ride

2009-08-07T21:30:00.000-07:00

When Mike's family comes down, all the little girls like riding the carousel. So, we decided that Jeremy should ride it as well. So here's a picture of him getting ready...loving every minute of it

All ready mom!!

Clapping as it is going around!

Hi mom!! Don't forget the post below!

Sky City

2009-08-07T21:21:00.000-07:00

This place is so much fun! It is an indoor bouncy paly area. They have three different rooms. One that is for big kids, a medium room with smaller slides, and a "baby" room for kids ages 1-4. Jeremy loved all three rooms. This picture is in the small kid room. He loved crawling on the play equipment.

There was a little car in the baby room and we had to put him in it. He is so cute!

Jeremy and Daddy in one of the crawl spaces.

Going down a big slide! He thought it was so much fun. When you would get up to the top, he would try to scoot down himself! The best part of this place is that parents are free and so are babies 2 years and under! Then it it is only $10 for however long you want to play. Don't forget the post below!

What hand is it in??

2009-08-07T21:16:00.000-07:00

Jeremy and his daddy play this game all the time. Jeremy is actually really good at it. If he doesn't get the hand the first time, he opens the other hand and has the biggest smile! This is just one of the games we play with him. Another one he likes is he takes his pacifier out and puts it in our mouth then takes it back and so forth. He thinks its quite funny to see mommy or daddy with it in our mouths! Don't forget the post below!

Beach trips

2009-08-07T21:09:00.000-07:00

Jeremy is always so happy when we are at the beach. This one day we went, we came with Mike's family when it was 105 degrees here in Santa Clarita and at the beach is was like 60! We couldn't believe it. I was not prepared for that! I was so cold. Fortunately I had a sweatshirt for Jeremy.

Jeremy liked playing with the shovel. He would hit it in the sand and get sand all over our towels. He thought it was pretty funny. Fortunately he doesn't eat the sand....yay for me!

Daddy and JEremy touching the water......he doesn't like it too much

This time at the beach it was BEAUTIFUL. The perfect day at the beach!

Jeremy and his Auntie Sicka. Don't forget the post below!!

Baby naked games....

2009-08-07T21:03:00.000-07:00

Jeremy LOVES being naked. Every time I get him out of the tub and try to get him dresses..he crawls away as fast as he can laughing. A while back he had a really bad diaper rash, so we let him crawl around naked to help with the healing process. One time Mike started to chase him and Jeremy would laugh and laugh and laugh ...then he would chase Mike. It was really funny. He is just one happy camper!!!

My little Guy!

2009-08-01T19:24:00.000-07:00

So I have been SOOO busy with Summer fun! We had cousins, and beach trips, and zoo trips, and a birthday party and tomorrow, we are going to Laughlin. So when we return, I will post all the fun things we did in individual posts...so don't miss any of them. I thought that this was a cute picture of Jeremy. He loves playing with the drums sticks, he bangs them on everything! His aunti C-C gave him a music set for his birthday and he plays with it non-stop. So keep looking for new posts!

Tons of new things!!!

2009-07-10T17:25:00.000-07:00

Sorry its been awhile!! I have been so busy with family. I have tons of pictures that I will post so keep a look out!!! So for now that is it. I will post all those up soon!

I don't really have any.....

2009-06-15T18:14:00.000-07:00

Thing to post! Life had been kinda boring the past few weeks. No new milestones, no fun trips, nothing! However, this weekend we are going to the San Diego Zoo! We are so excited. Jiffy Lube was having a promotion; if you got an oil change you would get a free ticket to the zoo. So since both my car and Mike's car needed a change we decided to go with Jiffy Lube. So we are going to the zoo. I love the zoo.
Exciting news...we got a new vacuum that actually works! You know you are married when you are excited about a vacuum! We had this really cheap Dirt Devil that "un-sucked" So we bite the bullet and got a good vacuum that picks up all the pet hair! YAY for us.
Plans for this summer:
We are planning a trip up to Utah for Jeremy's 1st birthday and last a trip to Laughlin the first week of August. Also to lose this awful post pregnancy belly!
So there it is....sorry it is so boring.

Memorial Day Fun and more milestones

2009-05-26T17:14:00.001-07:00

For Memorial day we went to the beach for the first time this year. We were so excited to see what Jeremy was going to do in the sand. The minute we put his feet on the sand he started to walk with the support of our hands. He also liked to crawl in it. Luckily he did not eat it! I know what you are thinking, "Anna your hair is blond again!" Yes I just can't stay brunette that long!

Our little rocker. Whenever we have music on Jeremy gets so happy. On Memorial Day, Mike and I were playing rock band during Jeremy's morning nap. When he woke up he saw daddy playing and wanted to be held by him. So we posed him like this!

Here they are playing!

Jeremy has started to really like this pooh bear. Every nap and bedtime I put it in his hands and he cuddles it!

On Saturday, we had to wake Jeremy up from his morning nap and this is the way we saw him. We just though that it was so cute! He is laying on his pooh bear. The reason we had to wake him up was because we went house looking. We found three homes that we put offers on...so we are crossing our fingers! They are all short sales so we are still on the prowl!!

JEREMY IS 10 MONTHS!!!
I can't believe that my little boy is almost 1 year old! Time flies so fast. It still feels like I just brought him home from the hospital! Well about a month ago, Jeremy decided that he did not want to nurse; so, I started to get frustrated. I tried formula and apple juice and water. He just didn't want to drink. When I would try to nurse him he would latch on for like 30 seconds and be done with it. So finally on Memorial Day he started to drink formula! YAY. I am so happy because he is getting the liquid and nutrients that he needed! I'm not too sad about not nursing, just glad that he is finally getting the things that he needs!
So at 10 months, Jeremy is:
~ crawling EVERYWHERE!!
~He can pull himself up in is crib
~He still sleeps through the night 8:30-about 7:30 and takes 2, 2 hour naps
~Has started to babble "mamama" "dadda" "bababa" and is babbling ALL the time!
~He eats all the time. He is one growing boy!
~He makes us laugh. He thinks he is the funniest boy. He know when he is being funny!

Well until next time!!!

Summer Fun in the Spring!

2009-05-18T11:23:00.000-07:00

Due to the incredible hot weather, we went swimming for the first time. We had so much fun. Jeremy loved it! This is Jeremy all ready to go in the pool!

Jeremy and his best friend Cali...all ready!

Jeremy with his friends Wyatt and Cali

Both of us in the pool. You can't tell but Jeremy was having a blast! We let him sit on the edge of the pool and he would "jump" off into my hands and he just loved it. HE loved being swished around in the water. We can't wait to go the beach for the first time...it could be this coming Saturday!

Jeremy had had an ear infection and sore thought so we let him eat our Popsicles! He loves them. We love living in So. Cal so we can do summer fun all year round!

Mother's Day

2009-05-11T10:29:00.000-07:00

I think that being a mom is the best feeling in the world! Celebrating yesterday was so much fun. When Jeremy woke up yesterday, Mike ttok him downstairs so I could sleep in. He is such a great dad and husband. Then an hour later he came up with Jeremy and sang "Happy mother's day" (its the birthday song with mother instead of birthday). It's a family tradtion in his family. I think it is so cute. Then they gave me a present...it was Vera Wang Rock Princess perfume. ITs smells GREAT!! Then we all jsut stayed in bed and played. We then got ready for church and all the women did not have to teach or do thier calling. All the men took over. We a had a fabulous relief society meeting about three different women in the scriptures. Eve, Sariah, and Mary. I believe that the reason why we don't have too much information on these women is becasue they are so sacred. Just knowing that they are influencial in church history is important. After church I put Jeremy down for a nap and he slept for 3 hours. I was able to take a 2 hour nap. Thank-you Mike! After Jeremy woke up we went over to my mom's for dinner. Mu dad made an excelent stake, rice, and the best zuccini I had ever had!! All in all it was a great day. I hope all you other moms had as wonderful day that I had!

Birthday weekend and lots of fun!

2009-05-06T14:52:00.000-07:00

Well, since the last post, I had my 25th birthday! I am a quarter a century old! We celebrated it all weekend. On Friday Mike took me shopping to get some new summer clothes. I got two new shorts with t-shirts. On Sat, Mike and I went out with his mom and dad. We ate at Stone fire. They have the best BBQ chicken chopped salad. On Sun, we went over to my mom's and she cooked me steak, potatoes, and broccoli; one of my favorite dinners! After dinner we ate a white cake with homemade whipped cream with strawberries on top....YUMMY. Then on Monday, I went and got my hair done. I was tired of being blond because of the up keep. So I went back to my original color. Its a little darker then the original but it will fade. Then for dinner, Mike took me and Jeremy to Chi Chi's Pizza. I think that the best present of all was on my birthday, Jeremy started to crawl! I can't believe it..He is mobile. Yesterday he started to move more, now today hes even more mobile! When he crawls he smiles and kinda laughs. It way cute!

The process of crawling!

Jeremy's new haircut!

I decided to give Jeremy a new haircut because he was looking like he had a mullet! He did not like it!

One of Jeremy's many church outfits! This is my favorite smile!

I was cooking dinner one night and I looked over the kitchen wall and here are my boys watching the Simpsons...in the same position. I had to take the picture because it was so cute! Like father like son!

Jeremy after his bath! He loves his bath time!

New stuff

2009-04-23T07:56:00.000-07:00

Well Jeremy had his 9 month check up yesterday. I can't believe he is getting so big. It feels like I just had him not too long ago. He weighed in at 15lbs12.3oz and height at 2ft 3in (27in). He is in the 1% for weight and 12% for height. He is our little peanut. Hes not really doing anything new; he is still getting up on his hands and knees and rocking, but falls on his tummy when he trys to crawl. His second tooth has come in and we are waiting for the top two to come in.
Well, for those of you interested, my cousin made me a website for my business! I am starting my own traveling hair and make-up business. So check out my website! www.annacarr.com. I hope that I can start making a little bit of cash so we can buy a house! So hope the best for me!

Easter

2009-04-14T09:23:00.000-07:00

Jeremy and his first Easter basket. He had so much fun taking the eggs and all the green grass out. It was funny to watch. Sorry about my messy house in the background!

All dressed up and ready to go to church!

Daddy and Jeremy all in their Easter dress shirts. Like daddy like son. Mike has the same color shirt as Jeremy, but it was too wrinkly and we were running late for church..whats new?

Church wore him out; he no longer likes to sleep in our arms, so he falls asleep in the car ride home. I like how he holds on to the side of his car seat! Church is hard for him because it is right in the middle of his morning nap.

I thought you might like to know Jeremy's awesome schedule!

7:00 am wake up and nurse
9:00 am eat oatmeal
9:30 am take a nap
12:30ish wake up and nurse (he usually takes an 2-3 hour morning nap) I know I am lucky!
2:00 pm eat lunch
2:30 pm take a nap
4:00ish wake up and nurse
5:30 pm eat a snack like apple sauce or yo-baby
7:30 pm eat dinner with mommy and daddy
8:00pm take a bath
8:30pm nurse and go to bed and sleep through the night

This of course is a rough estimate of his schedule. We change it up if we have to go out and run errands or go to church or just want to go out and have fun. During his awake time we play with cars, we read, we just try to keep Jeremy entertained.

At the Zoo

2009-04-13T08:53:00.001-07:00

As you can see we had lots of fun at the Santa Barbara Zoo. It was such a nice day; it was cool but not too cold! Jeremy liked looking at all the animals. I believe that his favorite was the Lemurs. He just stared at them. The lemur keeper was in the cage so all the lemurs were very active. It was my higlight of the day as well.

Jeremy and his daddy! This was in the line to feed the giraffes!

Jeremy and Mike feeding the giraffe.

And me feeding the giraffe. It was a lot of fun. They give you three pieces of food to feed to the giraffe. What you do is take one piece of food and put it out and the giraffe will curl its very long and sticky tongue around the piece of food. It was quite fun!

THis gorilla was so big. All he did was sit here looking very content!

Me and my favorite animal...the elephant. I just thing elephants are amazing! So as you can see, we had a fun filled day at the zoo.

Jeremy cut a tooth two weeks ago and it is now fully showing. It is so cute. I dont think he realizes it quite yet. but we think it is so cute. Just in the past few days he has started to get up on his hands and knees and start to rock. He try to move, but he just falls on his tummy. When he is sitting he can pivot. So our little man is starting to be mobile...watch out mommy!!!

Lots of fun in the past few weeks!

2009-04-09T17:32:00.000-07:00

Jeremy is all smiles. He is wanting to crawl so bad he can't just figure it out! He just won't sit still!

I want you mommy! He is the biggest mama's boy ever. He just wants to be with me all the time. I don't complain because he is so cute!

Jeremy is taking the BEST naps ever. His morning nap is usually between 2 and 3 hours. One day I went to go and check on him and this is how he was.

These are our favorite pajamas; he just looks so funny in them.

We as a family LOVE Rock Band. Mike was playing the drums and Jeremy was watching him so intently. So we put him on Daddy's lap and played an easy song for him. He thought it was so much fun.

This past week, Jeremy's cousins Emma and Macie came and visited us. We had so much fun just hanging out as a family. Tomorrow, we are going to go to the Santa Barbara Zoo. They have a giraffe exhibit where you can feed them! We are looking forward to it and we will post photos! UNtill next time...the team is doing well!

He is just the cutest ever!

2009-03-24T10:54:00.000-07:00

I forgot a title for the post below!

2009-03-24T10:30:00.000-07:00

We got Jeremy some new board shorts, sandals, and a hat for the summer. After we got them at the mall, we went to Mike's teams track meet. Jeremy is just so cute. He is such a good baby when it comes to going places. We can go anywhere with this kid!

I just love these sandals. I got them at payless!

This is my favorite smile of Jeremy's. His cheeks get so big.

He was not digging the mashed potatoes, so I let him play with his food. He now likes mashed potatoes when I mix them with milk and butter. He is the funniest eater. He loved all his baby food, but now that I have introduced "human" food, he doesn't care much for the baby food. He likes chicken, pears, peaches, apples, blueberries, the graduate puffs, rice crackers, the list goes on, I think he is ready for more solid food. Even though he doesn't have teeth, he is great at mashing his food with his gums. One thing that he does that is hilarious, is that when we give him the graduate puffs, we have a flat hand so he would grab it, but instead, he puts his mouth down on our hand instead of picking it up! I suppose that it is more effective!

So our family is doing well. Jeremy is sleeping through the night and taking GREAT naps. We are so blessed with such a great baby.

Its over!

2009-03-11T11:26:00.001-07:00

Its finally over! We are healthy and happy! We found out that Jeremy had an ear infection and he is now on antibiotics. He is sleeping better and is much happier. I spent the last few days spring cleaning my house.....lets hope it stays that way. I don't have any new news....so until next time....

When will it end?

2009-03-04T11:56:00.000-08:00

It seems like our family is constantly sick! Mike was sick then it was me then it was Jeremy then it was me again then it was mike! Now Both Jeremy and I are sick again!!! WHEN WILL IT END? What do you do when you can't give babies medicine and when you breastfeed your limited! Oh the agony! Just kidding..its just annoying that we are constantly sick. I just want it to end!

Team Update

2009-03-02T11:38:00.000-08:00

On February 24, it was our 3 year anniversary! I can't believe its been 3 years already. We went out to eat at a Japanese restaurant called Kishos. It was VERY yummy. It is a place where they cook your food in front of you. It is one of our favorites!

My mom, "Grandma" babysat Jeremy for us so we could enjoy our dinner. It was very nice. However, all we did was talk about Jeremy and how cute he is.

Our silly cat loves to watch Jeremy eat. It is really funny. Sometimes Jeremy puts his hand out and Scratchy licks the food off. They are just so silly!

Jeremy just being his cute self! He has started to babble ALL the time I want to get it on video, but he stops the minute the camera is on him....he just wants to grab the camera! I'll have to do it secretly!

This is Jeremy's best friend Cali. We go to a breastfeeding support group every friday! I thought this picture was cute!

Jeremy is 7 months old!

2009-02-24T14:51:00.000-08:00

Jeremy is the happiest baby. At 7 months, he can finally roll over both ways, sit up on his own, eat solid foods, kind of drink from a cup, babbles and laughs, and gives us hugs and kisses. He likes to grab our faces and put his mouth on our cheeks. I like to think that his his way of giving us loves.

He just loves his daddy. He is so fascinated with him. Mike likes to distract him when he is eating. He jumps up from behind me and goes back and forth to make Jeremy smile and look at him...intead of eating! Jeremy just stares at his daddy all the time. It is so cute!

I love the Pepsi!! He wasn't really drinking it; on our way up to Utah we needed to entertain him with everything! So we let him have our empty bottles to play with, he likes to lick and suck the bottle!

He loves drining water from my water bottle!

He loves carrots. We tried them for the first time on Saturday and he got them all over his face! His face was stil orange after I cleaned it! He had them everywhere! In his nose and eyes, man carrots are hard to clean! Well, until next time!

Well we're off to Utah!

2009-02-11T11:05:00.000-08:00

We are going up to Utah tomorrow for Jeremy's cousin's blessing. We will be driving so wish us luck! We are excited to see everyone..but not looking forward to the cold weather. Well an update with Jeremy..he is almost 7 months old and is so funny. He makes us laugh all the time. Right now he is sick with the cold. It is so hard to see your little man sick. You can't really do anything for him...no medicine or nothing. I feel so bad for him. Well there is really not a whole lot going on. Good news is we have a second car! We got Mike a Scion Xb 2008. I will post pictures up when I take them! Mike is so happy with it and me too!! I can drive places and I am not stuck in my own home! YAY!! Well, until next time....

Pictures!

2009-01-26T16:06:00.000-08:00

Jeremy got a football from Santa for Christmas. He loves playing with it. He can't quite hold it but he loves it!

This was Jeremy's first time eating prunes. He loved them. Now he doesn't really like them. He prefers pears. This was when I fed him.

This is what happens when you leave Daddy in charge of feeding....... The pictures explains it all!

We went to Arizona to visit Mike's brother and his family. We went to the Phoenix Zoo. Jeremy's is now able to sit in his stroller without his car seat. He is so stinkin cute!

Mommy and Jeremy in the monkey habitat,

I caught his chewing/sucking on his thumb. I kinda hope that he sucks him thumb. I prefer it over the pacifier. Its cute when a two year old sucks his thumb....but not when hes two and sucking a pacifier.

This is Buster my mom's dog. All dressed up for Christmas.

Jeremy opening a present from Santa.

Christmas eve.... the best gift under the tree!

I just love this picture. They are so cute!

My big boy. He's sitting up all by himself. This picture was taken when he just started to sit up on his own. HE now sits up and fixes himself..of course he still falls every now and then.

So, since the last post, Jeremy had his 6 month check up. He weighs 13 lbs 8.8 oz. He is in the 1.5 percentile for his weight. He was 25 1/4 inches which is in the 12th percentile. Hes just my little guy. He is so much fun. So until the next post........

An update! pictures coming soon!

2009-01-10T21:53:00.000-08:00

So lots have happened in the past month. We have been so busy with Christmas and New Years and family and friends. We have had so much fun. I will post pictures once I put them into the computer. Mike has been off for the past three weeks, so we have been doing lots of fun things. For Chirstmas we were with my family and had a blast. Santa was very good to all of us!
Last week we went to Arizona to visit Mike's brother and his family. It was fun to see the other Carr family. Jeremy was so good in the car ride, We stopped two time to feed him and then he would just sleep the rest of the time. When we were in Arizona, Jeremy was so interested in the other kids. He would just watch them so intently. On Thursday, we drove down to San Diego to visit some of Mike's high school friends. We haven't seen them in almost over a year. So it was fun to see them.
So an update on Jeremy and whats he doing! We started him on solid foods on Christmas. He loves them. We first gave him rice cereal...it blocked him p way to much. So we started to give him prunes...Loves them. So instead of rice cereal we are giving him oatmeal. He loves oatmeal so much he makes yummy sounds when eating. We just started giving him pears...and again loves them, He is so fun to feed. He attacks the spoon, if we don't get the spoon in his mouth fast enough he starts to suck the tray on his bumbo seat. I will try to post a video of him. Well, that's about it so until next time!!!

The Latesest with the Carr Team

2008-12-08T13:47:00.000-08:00

Jeremy at 4 1/2 months.

He just smiles all the time! He is such a joy to be around.

We got him an early Christmas gift. Its a bumbo seat. He loves it. The first time we put him in it, he looked so pleased that he was sitting by himself! Mike put his toy in his mouth and he just bit down on it. He cracks me up. He is such a funny little guy.

Last Sunday, Jeremy kept spitting up, so we decided we would keep him naked. He loves being naked and taking baths. He laughs and smile everytime I take his clothes off.

This was on Thanksgiving. Poor guy just couldn't handle all the fun.

Heres an almost happy baby! Happy family though.

Here is His favorite Aunti Sicka (Jessica). We call here that becasue when she was younger her friend coudn't say Jessica, she called her sicka, so it stuck and thats what Jeremy is going to call her! We love you.

Touchdown. Daddy and son time.......watching Football.

Just another picture!

Our little tough guy. We got this Hurley outfit fotr $16 at TJMAX. He is jsut so cute in everything.

So an update with Mike's team. They lost in the semi finals by one touchdown. We are very sad that his team lost. However, he is home more bow. So we get to spend more time with him. It still would have been cool if they made it to the CIF championship. I belive that is all the news that we have. Untill next time!

Update for this week!

2008-11-23T16:28:00.000-08:00

Well, Mike's team won the first round in the CIF championship. We are so excited for them. They will be playing Culver City this friday. Lets hope them win. It would be awesome if they go all the way! In a local newspaper, they predicted that they would go all the way. We just keep rooting for them!
Update with Jeremy:
He turned 4 months old yesterday and is the sweetest baby ever! He is so happy. On satuday, Mike and I went and saw Twilight and didnt love it but we enjoyed it very much. So, Auntie Sicka and Grandma babysat. They said he was very sweet. He is almost rolling over....hes soo close. HE laughs and giggles and talks a lot. He lets us know if he is upset. We go in on Monday to get his 4 months shots....I feel so bad doing that. There is no way to warn babies; they just stick them with a needle. There is reall yno more news with him, just that he is doing so well!
We are also glad that it is cooling off! Please come winter!

What is with this weather?

2008-11-17T16:50:00.001-08:00

Okay, so its November and its freakishly hot! What is up with that? I want to wear my sweaters and jackets! It was so nice a few weeks ago when it was in the 60's and kind of raining. I wan that weather back. It is suppose to be cooler that 90 degrees! On good news, Mike's team are league champs! We went to the game and it was miserable! It was so windy, I could barely watch the game because dust kept blowing into my eyes! Jeremy hated the wind. Every time there was a big gust his eyes got all wide and big and he would stiffen his back and wave his arms. I felt so bad for him. It was also very warm at the game too! But anyway They won and are now going into playoffs! Go warriors! Good luck to the team! We wish you the best!!

Jeremy is 16 weeks old!

2008-11-11T16:25:00.000-08:00

I can't believe Jeremy is almost 4 months old. Time goes by soooo fast. Jeremy is such a good baby. He is almost sleeping through the night. He goes to bed around 8:30 and sleeps until 2:30 then eats and goes right back to bed and sleeps until 7ish. Sometimes at 7 I bring him into bed with me and we will slepp for a little while longer. He had become the cuddler.

He now is grabbing at toys and eating them. Its fun to watch. He also LOVES his blankie. Every time we put it in his car seat with him, he grabs it and rubs his face in it.

He is smiling all the time as well. It is really easy to get him to smile for the camera. He is just a joy to have around!

Jeremy also makes really funny faces. He also has no problem with giving his opinion on things. Sometimes he "trys" to cry and yell at me. He is just too funny!

I just love this picture because he looks like a little man. I took out the garbage while he was sleeping and when I came back he was awake like this.....so I had to take a picture.

Jeremy is getting so big

2008-11-05T13:49:00.000-08:00

As you know every Friday I go to a breast feeding support group. This is Corbin who comes every Friday. They are exactly a week apart. Corbin is the older one. Last Friday was the first friday we put them next to each other. They look like they could be brothers! THey are so cute!

Last saturday my mom and I went door to door to hang Yes on 8 door hangers in the rain! WE stayed in the car and went door to door. I brought JEremy with us. He was such a good boy. He slept the whole time. I took this picture before we left. He's watching tv. Doesn't he look like a little man? HE is the cutest ever! He is starting to laugh out loud....it is the cutest thing. HE talks much more now. I think he likes the sound of his voice. He just talks and talks to me. Its so much more rewarding now that he interacts with me. It make staying home worth it. Update on MIkes team, they won thier first league game and have two more. Mike says they have a good chance to win all CIF. It's not for sure but theres a chance. They could even go to STATE!! Go warriors and good luck on Friday!

More pictures!

2008-10-27T14:40:00.000-07:00

Last night Mike and I were having fun with Jeremy in taking pictures of him. We got his three month pictures done on Saturday and the photographer took a picture of Jeremy on Mike's back and we thought it was so cute. So I was just laying on the couch watching tv and Mike put Jeremy on my back and said it was too cute so he ahd to take a picture so here it is!

Jeremy loves just sitting with his daddy. They are so cute together. Mike is just so wonderful with him. HE makes the best daddy!!! And of course a great husband!

On Saturday our ward had a Halloween party that my sister and I went to. When we got there Jeremy fell asleep right away. HE didn't even know he was there! Mike had a football game that he had to go to so the Scarecrow cwas missing in action. However, Mikes team one! Go Alemany!

My sister took this picture of him. He is so cute as a lion!

Just hanging out in his cute brown outfit!

This is Jeremy's friend Cali Aberg. Every friday Amy and I go to a breastfeeding support group. We have fun. all we do is go and feed our babies and see how much weight they gained in a week and to see how much they eat in one feeding. Its alot of fun because there are quite a few mothers there with different aged babies and we just talk about the different stages and what babies do and give and get advice. ITs something we look forward to every week. We get out of the house! So thats if for now!

Nothing really new!

2008-10-21T15:43:00.000-07:00

I really don't have anything new to report! I have been going on a walk everyday for the past two days! My friend and I are trying to get into shape! Yay us! I just wish it wasn't so hot outside! So right now I am not a fan of football! Mike has a game this Saturday which is the day of our church Halloween party. HE also has a game on Halloween. So Mike is missing Jeremy's first Halloween!! I was very upset. I understand and I am good now. To make up for it we are taking a family portrait on Saturday and going to Lambardie's pumpkin patch. So it will be fun. Mike also said it was okay if I had a little Halloween party on Friday for our fiends. It should be fun. We will probably take our little ones trick or treating....even though they can't eat candy..its for us! So sorry for the boring update but I just stay home all day and do nothing! I let all of you know how portraits go! I'' put pictures up of the pumpkin patch as well! Ta ta for now!

Our Football Stud

2008-10-15T15:25:00.000-07:00

So I posted Jeremy and his drumsticks. Mike wanted me to put a picture with his football. Amy gave us this little football. It is the perfect size...thanks Amy! So here is our football stud. Mike wants him to play when he gets old enough. I just want him to do whatever he wants that makes him happy. Of course it has to be safe. Sure some of you may think football isn't safe. I agree. But its safer then motocross! As long as Jeremy is happy we are happy!!
Jeremy is so much fun. He just loves to smile. He is one happy baby....which make mommy even happier!

Our Future Drummer?

2008-10-13T14:24:00.000-07:00

This will probably be the last video I put on here. It took so long to upload! Jeremy loves to play with the drumsticks. I think its just because they are the perfect shape for his little hands. Mike says we need to give him footballs to play with. I showed Mike the other day how he plays with them and Mike said that we will be the parents on MTV saying he was holding the drumstick at 3 months old. Silly right? Well I hope you enjoy.!

Happy Halloween!!

2008-10-10T15:46:00.000-07:00

Our little Lion. We are doing the Wizard of Oz theme this year. Jeremy is obviously going to be the lion, I am going to be the Tin Man, Mike is going to be the Scarecrow and Auntie Sicka is going to be Dorthy! We are going to have so much fun!

Not very happy with his costume!

My first Super Saturday holiday project. My little witchy poo! Isn't she just so cute?

My very first pumpkin mug. I got it from some visiting teachers a few years a go filled with lots of chocolates.... YUM!! WE only have these two Halloween decorations. More to come in the years to come!!

More pictures of Jeremy!

2008-10-08T11:11:00.000-07:00

Jeremy taking a nap with scratchy......don't worry, I was there the whole 5 minutes Scratchy was there. Scratchy really doesn't like Jeremy.

Jeremy riding Coco. It was funny; once Coco knew what was happening she started to walk away. The animals really don't care much for the baby. Although, Coco is very protective of our house now that we have Jeremy.

This is Jeremy at 11weeks. We did a little "photo shoot" with him. This was the best shot!

Happy Halloween!!! Grandma bought him this little pumpkin sleeper. He is so cute in it.

I love being a mommy!

2008-10-05T14:52:00.000-07:00

I love being a Mommy. Everyday I can tell that Jeremy knows I am his mom. I feel that I'm not just a food source for him, but I belong to him. Today as we were watching conference he fell asleep on my shoulder and I couldn't help but think that he loves me. He even has an "I love Mommy" shirt. He also loves his daddy. Today while I was holding him, Mike came up to Jeremy and started dancing and talking to him. Jeremy had the biggest smile! Every time Mike would walk away Jeremy would follow him with the biggest smile! We just love our son so much. Who knew you could love someone so much. Words just can't explain it.
Jeremy loves music. During conference ever time the choir sang, he just looked at the TV and just listened. Even during church when we would sing, he would just get so content and not wiggle. He is a VERY wiggly baby. Its amazing how music calms him. He has both his mom and dad in him. The music part from me and the wiggly part from his dad.......the wiggles are him starting his "football" career. He is just so much fun and we just love him with all our hearts!

Jeremy is so much fun!

2008-10-03T13:25:00.000-07:00

Being at home with Jeremy is so much fun. He has been smiling for a few weeks now but everyday it just gets bigger and bigger. Sure being at home is tough but how can you not love a face as cute as his? WE do miss daddy. He leaves at 6:30 in the morning and doesn't come home until 7 at night. However, Jeremy gets happy when he comes home...as long as hes in a good mood.
