30 weeks & headed to Utah for Christmas!

30 weeks and in serious need of a haircut!

I'll be brief since we're trying to get on the road this morning. I'll also have to add the 30 weeks pic later.

Anyway, I'm feeling great as far as the pregnancy goes, but we were so bummed about Thanksgiving by ourselves (notice the lack of a Thanksgiving post...) that we decided we just couldn't do Christmas by ourselves too. Also the seasonal allergies around here are really getting to us (cedar trees are pollinating, and we don't live in a city called Cedar Park for nothing!). So we need a break and some much needed grandma time.

We will start driving today and get to Utah on Friday night. And I'm trying to surprise my grandma on Saturday, so anyone in my family who's reading this: don't tell Grandma that we're going to Utah!!
We'll stay in Utah until the New Year and then head home.

Friends in Utah: e-mail, text, or call me if you would like to get together, because we would love to!! Darren's mom actually has to work a few days that we're there, so we will have some time to play with friends too. Let me know! :o)

Merry Christmas!! I'll update this post with pics after we get to Utah.

Well, I've found out that a middle aged man has been coming on my blog and looking at pictures of my children.  I am obviously very uncomfortable with this, so it's time to go private. I'm happy to let any of you continue reading, as long as I know you and know you're not creepy! Just post your e-mail address and I'll add it to the list :o)

Lila is 2!!

By
Where did the time go? My baby is two and not really a baby at all. We love her to pieces and can't imagine life without her. She continues to learn things quickly and is already starting to read. Just kidding!! Just wanted to see if you were reading my post. Lila loves to learn, but she's not a genius (sorry sweetie--your genes aren't that good!). Lately she's been learning the sounds the letters make (she learned the alphabet at 16 mos.) and by sight she recognizes the words "cat", "dog", "Mom", "Dad", and "Lila." She knows all the colors (although her colorblindness sometimes gets her mixed up on red and green...those darn genes again!), shapes, and numbers 1-15. She enjoys singing, playing the "I Spy" game, running, climbing, going to nursery on Sunday, bike rides, looking at books, and going to the library. Oh yeah, and did I mention that she likes chocolate just as much as I do?? Maybe I shouldn't ha...

The long version & his name

By
I started working on this post on Wednesday, but I've been sick with a cold and desperately trying to get rest, so here it is Friday and I'm finally finishing it up! Monday morning I woke up with a sore throat and a cough. I thought I had escaped getting sick like Darren and Lila, but I wasn't feeling great so I slept in until 9am. Me and Lila hung out at home resting all day Monday. I spent so much time on the couch in the living room that I started sketching and making decorating/rearranging plans for the living room. I pinned curtain and art ideas on Pinterest and started pricing out my plans. When a friend invited Lila over for a play date on Tuesday, I started making plans for hitting up the craft store and beginning my living room makeover the next day. After Darren got home and we got Lila to bed, I found some energy and began rearranging the living room and straightening up the house. Then at 10:30pm I decided to do a short yoga practice, took a shower at 11, ...
