So Im a Slacker!

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!

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!

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!!

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!

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!

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!!

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!
