baby arrival

I know I never post anything on my blog, but I am so happy to announce that we are expecting another little one due on Jan. 9th!!!!! We are all so excited and Crew can't wait to be a big brother!!!

Milestones

Well I have been a pretty big slacker lately about posting on my blog. So much has been happening with my little toddler lately that I thought I should probably catch up on everything.
Well anyone that knows my little Crew-ba-lou knows that ever since he came out of my belly he has been a binki baby!!! Well about a month and a half ago Crew was throwing the biggest tantrum that Bran had ever seen (I was at work) so he put Crew in his crib, took the binki and said that he flushed it down the toilet. Well Crew about lost it Bran said he was screaming in there for about an hour. Needless to say though we finally broke the binki habbit!! Yay!! It is so nice to finally have that thing gone, I was starting to worry about his teeth being completely ruined. Although I am so excited it is gone I do half to say I did have a little mommy moment where I was really sad to see it go. I mean it was something that he has had since he was a newborn and its just another sign that my little boy is becoming to be not so little anymore and it makes me a little bit sad:(
So as for his other milestone, last weekend we hung out with our friends Kim, Jesse and Crews little girlfriend Abby. Well Abby had these pink pullups that crew thought were pretty neat and he got to wear one home. So we took him home that night and put his jammies on and changed into a real diaper. Well the next morning he wanted Abbys pink pullup back on. I said Crew its dirty and we can't wear it anymore. Well he was throwing a fit and then I remembered that I had bought him some big boy undies for Christmas so I asked if he wanted to put those on. He hesitated for a minute and then decided to go for it. Well I couldn't believe it but my child is completely potty trained now for one whole week (minus the number two pottys)!!! I am so proud of him!! I mean I wasn't even really going to try for a couple more months and its like wolla its already done! I was even at the mall the other day and he said mom I need a potty so he held it while I frantically ran through the mall trying to find the bathroom. I am so so proud of him and love him so much. Oh yea one more funny thing, when he first started wearing them I said Crew you can't go pee pee or poopy in your big boy undies and he said I wont mom. Well about an hour later he looked all nervous so I said whats wrong buddy and he goes mom is it ok if I toot in them. ha ha ha so dang funny!

what we have been doing lately

My sister and I decided to take the little ones to Gardner Village today to see all the pumpkins and witch's and boy did they think it was cool. They thought the witch's were pretty neat but as far as touching them or getting up close "no way" these two werent taking any chances with those scary ladies and thats why there is no witch pics!

Well here are just a couple of the pics from our Cruise to Cabo, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallerta. Bran and I had such a blast. It was so nice to have a break from our baby boy and just focus on the two of us. We just took tours through the city, hung out by the pool on the ship, went dancing at night time and lots of other fun stuff, but the funnest thing of all was the zip linning through the jungle in Puerto Vallerta. I was so scared to do it and was very upset with Bran for making me. I mean you are all by yourself in a little harness dangling like 200 feet in the air if not more and all that is holding you is a little wire. Needless to say it was the funnest thing we have ever done. There were 14 zip lines in all and then at the end you ride mules back up to the top of the mountain, it was such a blast!!! Although we did have a ball we did miss our little Crewbles a ton but it was def. nice to get away for a week with just the two of us.

I know I havent written on this thing for like 6 months but I can be a slacker at times. Well I am so excited because in 4 days my cute little hubby and I are heading off on a cruise to Mexico. We will be going to Mazatlan, Cabo, and Puerto Vallerta, I can't wait! In the mean time my little Crewbles will be heading off on an airplane to Indianna with his Grandparents to go see his Aunt Brittny and three cousins. I swear being away from your kids can be such a double ended sword. Its like you are so excited to get away and have a break but at the same time all I have been doing lately is worrying about him when he is gone and how much I will miss him. I know he will have a blast though because his aunt Brittny already has all of these fun activities that they will be doing. They are going to be going to the Indianna Zoo which is huge, going to the largest childrens museum in the U.S, going to this cute little apple orchard to pick apples and do other fun activities there and much more. I know he is going to have so much fun and miss his little Mae Mae like crazy when he leaves. Well thats it for now but I will be sure to post fun pics of my little Crewbles in Indianna and me and Bran soaking up the sun in Mexico (oh and did I mention it is my first cruise so I am little nervous about it)!
