Easter 2012

This year I really tried to make up for last years miserable Easter (morning sickness from my miscarriage pregnancy:(  ) So we attempted to Dye Easter eggs! Seth could have done this all day..but since none of us really like hardboilded eggs I didn't want to waste too many eggs, so we only did a dozen. 

 Trying to get some pictures of the finished projects... Isn't Seth a great model.. Ha ha ha!

 Seth's Easter basket! It was full of fun Bath time stuff... Bubbles, water color changing tablets, tub crayons, and a dinosaur loofah.  As well as Max and Ruby stuffed animals (The Easter Bunny could not resist!) The Easter Bunny also thought Seth would love all the fun bath stuff, but Seth was terrified of the colored water, and hates bubbles because he is pretty sensitive to anything that smells..good or bad. Daddy now actually threatens to change the color of the water if Seth won't get out of the bath...awesome parenting skills!

 It was a tradition in my family to hunt for our Easter baskets. But I thought Seth would get distracted by all the candy sitting out and not hunt for the basket first. So the Easter Bunny left a trail  leading to Seth's Easter basket. Seth  was really funny and instead of just following the trail, he had to pick up every piece of paper, so it took awhile.

 Then the hunt candy begins! Seth had to open every egg before putting it in the basket. After we then had a yummy breakfast of cinnamon pull-apart.

Family Easter outfits! Bless Ryan's heart for putting up with matching with all of us. He is such a good sport!!

Matching ties for the cutest boys ever!

Mom's Club Easter Hunt 2012

 Our Mom's Club had our annual Easter Egg Hunt with the kids at the park. Seth was so excited to pick up all the eggs. It was hard to keep him from picking up all the eggs.

-Does not really understand that he is going to have a new sibling, we talk to him about it a lot, but he said he wants mommy to have a park?????? Sorry buddy it is not going to be a park, it is a brother!

We love little Seth. Although he is very stubborn, independent, and very strong willed we wouldn't have him any other way. On those hard days that is what I try to tell myself at least!!!

I guess we have an announcement!!

12 weeks

18 weeks

Everyone knows we are expecting again..but for the blog/family history sake I need to update. We found out I was Pregnant again in October 2011. I was excited that we were expecting again but so so so nervous that I would miscarry again. The doctors were great and let me come in every 2 weeks to checkup on the baby during the first trimester. I was sick and felt crummy as usual. It was hard having the energy to be so sick during all the holidays and Seth's Birthday. I tried my best to make them special but I know if I had been feeling better I would have done a little more. But now I am 26 weeks and feeling great. We found out on Jan. 30 2012 that we will be welcoming another BABY BOY to our family around June 28. I am so excited to have another baby. Although I am feeling him rolling around and kicking I still am a little scared and haven't started working on the baby book and all my sewing projects I want to make for him. I guess I feel like I am jinxing it. Ryan thinks I am psycho...maybe it will take holding that sweet Little boy in my arms to finally get it to sink in. By the time he arrives it will have been 2 years that we have been wanting to have another addition. For some I know that is nothing and they have waited much longer and have gone through a lot worse than I have, but I feel like he is so wanted and ready to be loved by all of us. But the past 2 years have been really tough and tried our patience and faith. Although our boys will be farther apart than we originally wanted I think it will work out great in the end and we just have to adjust our time frame with Heavenly Fathers time frame. Which isn't always easy to do.

Baby Weston James we can't wait to meet you!!!

New Year's Eve 2011

This year we headed to San Diego to spend the holiday with my Aunt Lani's family. We joined in again on their holiday tradition of going to the car show! It was so fun. The last time we went Seth was just learning to walk, so this time Seth had a blast running around and climbing in all the cars and pretending to drive.

I sat in the car I have always wanted a Toyota 4runner.

They had this driving course with power wheels for little kids. I was laughing so hard the entire time. Ryan had to walk behind him and straighten him out because his is working on learning how to steer still. But it was great and I was in tears laughing at him trying to drive his little jeep.

The rest of the evening was spent eating yummy snacks and playing games.

Christmas 2011

This year Christmas was fun. Seth seemed to understand a little better what was going on. Since his Birthday is so close to Christmas he was getting confused and calling Christmas presents Birthday presents, and saying "Happy Birthday Seth." Christmas morning was a little hectic because of 9 am church. But Seth was excited when he woke up and saw all the presents out. With Ryan just graduating we were only able to get a few things for Seth. It is a good thing he is so young and doesn't really get it yet. We hope next Christmas will be much better financially. But it does help you to remember what is really important. Lots of thanks to Family for spoiling Seth so his parents don't look so bad!! ha ha. After church we drove to Corona to spend the day with Ryan's family.

Seth's favorite toy this year...play food. Not so much mine because plastic food is constantly strewn about my whole house. But he loves playing with it.
Grandma and Grandpa Bias did a fun thing and had big boxes with the grand kids initials on them with all their gifts inside.
