January:
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! We were actually in Texas still to bring in the new year, in a Motel. Declan and Kris fell asleep, and I of coarse was still up. I have a bad habit of watching TV when going to bed and will get in to a silly show and stay up. BUT it was the new year so that was a good excuse :) 2010 was great! Brought many new family members into the world. It can't get any better than that!
Also started a 'diet' when we got home from Texas. Let's hope it goes well. I have started to work out and watch my portions and what I eat. Doing a Biggest Loser kind of thing with my sister and family and friends to see where we are all at in July. I have a goal of Losing 50 by then. That would be nice. As of right now I have only lost 9, so I have a ways to go. :P!!!
Liam turned 6 months on the 6th of January. By the end of the month he was a pro at rolling around to get to what he wanted or where he wanted, and also sitting up by himself playing with no help for hours.
My nephew Asher turned 1 on the 28th!!! I can't believe it. I haven't seen him since September since they now live in Palmyra, NY. I miss them a lot. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHER!! LOVE YA!!!
Kris built a fort for Declan and Liam joined in too...AND Kris :D
February:
Liam turned 7 months on the 6th of February...He loves it when we go and watch movies at the movie theatre. He'll get excited and talk/blabb through the whole thing. It's funny. He'll just stare and talk to the people behind us too. Plus he also shakes his head "NO" A LOT!! HILARIOUS!! You can ask him something and say something and he'll shake his head "NO-No-no." Declan gets a kick out of it too. He'll laugh and say, "Liam said No-No-no...Mom"
Kris and I went to the Jazz game on February 11th for a
Valentine's Day gift for the both of us! It was Tyrone Corbin's first game as the Head Coach. I was pretty bummed about the whole Jerry Sloan thing. Wish he would have finished the season, but he had his reason and I think he is one of
THE BEST coaches of
ALL TIME. It was neat though to see Coach Corbin walk out before the Jazz game and have everyone on their feet cheering and clapping for him. It got me all teary-eyed. It was a pretty fun game, even though they lost....and, OH! We were in the lower bowl. Right behind the Jazz team, row 20. That made it even more better! OH! Not to mention
KARL MALONE, THE MAILMAN was there!!! I was in heaven. He is my ultimate FAVORITE athlete. I had posters and basketball cards, just a lot of him on my wall when I was little. Okay, I had a crush too...ahhaa!!
He was straight across from me and I couldn't help but stare...ahhaa. Plus, after the game I went lower to the floor where he was shaking people's hand and taking pictures. I took a few of him. I felt silly though being that close and taking pictures over-and-over-again. :) It was nice to get away just Kris and I. Bonnie, Kris's mom, watched Declan and Liam for the night. Then Becky watch the office for me...so thanks to all those who made it possible!!!
I do not think I'll get another chance to be this close to Karl Malone :D ahhaa...
This month was also pretty stressful because of a work situation. I just know it happened for a reason. I stood up for myself and my job and even though it was hard, it was for the better. I did nothing wrong, said nothing wrong...I was pretty proud of myself. Sure I cried A LOT and got FRUSTRATED, but it was just in the moment thing. Now it is over.
My niece Alyssa turned 1 on the 14th!! I do not get to see this one that much either. She a doll though. Very quiet and is a mover :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALYSSA!!! LOVE YA!!!
March: (Thus far)
Liam turned 8 months on the 6th!!! It just has gone by so fast. He is almost crawling. He can easily push up on his side an scoot. Just does not quite get the pushing up on hands and knees at the same time, but I'm sure it will click. I am okay with him not being too mobile right now. He can already get into stuff rolling and scooting everywhere. We also moved him into the big crib this day. Declan loves his new roommate. It was bitter sweet for me. I like seeing him next to me in the little crib in our room, but he is too tall for it now. He is starting to roll over in his sleep and bumps his head too. So it was just time.
We had my other nephew's birthday party on Sunday the 6th. Bridger will be 1 on the 9th, tomorrow! He is walking and is a sweet little boy. He loves to follow Declan around which is pretty funny to watch. Declan sometimes is not the nicest to him, but Declan will learn he is a baby and younger than him. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY!! LOVE YA!!
Kris left last Monday February 28th and came back on late March 5th. He was in Cheyenne on a job there. Then he left again Monday March 7th and will probably be gone til this Saturday as well. He's in Grand Junction, Colorado for right now. Talking about going to Moab, Utah. Just not sure yet, it always changes. I do miss him, but we are getting along. Just grateful for this job. Can not complain.
I have worked quite a bit more than normal since the middle of February until now. It is getting back to normal though. Trained a new girl and things seem to be working out. Plus Becky, my sister in law, has been wanting hours too. So it all works out.
We also started City League Co-ed Volleyball this Spring Season (even though the weather is not spring...yet). We had our first game last Thursday and WON. It was fun. I really enjoy Volleyball. It is my favorite sport. It just brings back a lot of High School memories and it really just makes me happy to play. I love sport competition.
Here's Liam side "crawling" towards Moose in the video...
Here's Liam and Declan Growling at each other...that is how they communicate. He wouldn't shake his head "No-no..." I'll get that some other time :)
