getting back to normal
Well, its time I start running and eating healthy again because having another baby has taken its toll on my body. I plan on taking action with my new set of these
And this..
(picture from Christmas morning)
My recovery from having Neal has been breezy! I have lots of energy and I am feeling so motivated to get lots done before we move to Chicago for the summer. You should see my lists! They are bottomless, which is good, I feel productive. (Josh introduced me to the "notes" application on my i phone and I have loved it! I keep running lists of what I need to buy at what stores and what I need to do each week and day. And the best part is that I always have my phone on me so it stays current. I am constantly adding and deleting things from my lists. Josh makes fun of me because I have had my phone for 2 years now and I am finally learning how to use it! Thanks Josh!)
sun glasses
Last time we were in California Josh saw and loved avatar twice in 2 days. Here is proof.
Grace refused to take off her sun glasses for story time at the library. So today she listened to 3 stories and 4 songs with her sun glasses on.
a little fun
I feel like my blog is to formal and boring so here are some phone pictures to making it a little more fun and exciting!
I sing Grace 3 songs before naps and bedtime and usually she picks "po corn", "sunbeam" and "tall tall tall" (once there was a snowman). After I sing her 3 songs she has started telling me that NEAL wants another song and then tells me which one. :) I love how thoughtful she is of what HE wants!
Last week Wes came to play with us and he was so proud that he was such a "BIG helper"!
Grandma Lorna and Grandpa Craig bought Grace this easel for Christmas and last night we introduced her to chalk. She spent a 1/2 hour making dots and drawing uncle Dig Dig
Grace had been smooching and loving on Neal and a few min later she hopped into the bath that I was filling for her. Then I came in and noticed this silly thing on her foot. She refused to take Neal's sock off, so I let her bathe with it on. why not.
Grace looked at me yesterday and held a block up to her eye and told me to "smile". I laughed so hard. She captured this picture of me and Neal the other day. Not bad for 2 years old I must say.

Neal is 1 month already
Neal is an easy baby. He is eating about every 4 hours, then awake for 1/2 an hour and then asleep for about 3. And this cycle repeats its self over and over and I can still get lots done! Its so nice! He only cries when he is hungry or tired and loves to just look around at all the busy things going on around him. I love how simple having a boy is, his outfits are either blue or gray and then we are ready. No bows, cute shoes, or jewelry. I LOVE HAVING A BOY!
Grace turns 2
Grace is so much fun right now.
She loves pretending that she is a Mommy, that the shark in her book was biting her, that she is hungry every time we say that its time for bed.
She is picking up things that she hears and TV and that we say and do and tonight she said stupid.
She is becoming self entertaining. We find her upstairs in her room reading books, puting on our deoderant, unscrewing caps and lids like my mascara for example, and coloring.
Grace is really into dancing. She wants to get every one around her to dance too. Whether its dancing to commercials or at a wedding or in the car, Grace loves to shake her hips.
This girl has a memory. She saw a couple kiss on TV and said "ohh kissing!" hahah later she tried "kissing" us like she saw on TV
And if you ask Grace how she is doing she will respond with "TWO!"
Happy 2 Grace, we love you

Christmas 2009
This year was my Mom and Dad's turn to be with "all the girls". It was so much fun to spend time with my sisters and let our kiddos play and be outside together in sunny California weather. Here are some of my favorite things from the trip.

Neal's Story
So I had my Dr. strip my membranes on Wed morning. Unfortunately this didnt do much for me
I had my Dr. strip my membranes again on Thursday morning at 9
I dropped off some things at DI and then went home
By 10:30 I was having contractions every 3-5 minutes
I called the Dr. office and asked what I should do because they were not painful but consistent
Off to the hospital we went
They monitored me for an hour and I was staying the same 4 cm dilated
So we went to In n Out (still having sporadic contractions)
I told Josh to go run his errands and I would call him often and keep him posted
By 4:00 they were still sporadic, but starting to get more painful
I decided that I wanted to move things along quickly so I tried pumping some milk
Josh came home to me crying on the bed, bags packed, and Grace with her cousins. I was READY to go
We checked in at the hospital at 5 and I was dilated to a 5
I had to wait for 30 min for a delivery room to open up and get cleaned
Then off to the delivery room and my heavenly epidural
They gave me a little pitocin and checked me at 7:45 and I was 10cm
I pushed through 3 contractions and Neal was here! Perfect and healthy
