Honest People!!

I just have to come and say how Thankful I am today for the honest people who are still out there!

My Aunt and Uncle had shipped us two boxes full of Christmas gifts for the boys, well due to a few errors it was delivered to an incorrect address. Left at their door. Well we figured they were gone and that someone got some good gifts :( When this morning my Aunt calls me to say that she was called by the person who received the packages!!! They then called me and we met so that I could get them back :) There were 15 gifts in there and the woman re-wrappwed them all due to the wrapping paper getting all wet from the delivery guy leaving them in the rain!

Thank you sooo much for making our Holiday a little brighter, I am seriously going to find out where you live and send you something special!!

Now if only my other package (gifts I was going to give) that is lost in the mail would turn up!!

Not a great Blogger

So I offically stink at blogging haha.

I am a total blog stalker for others yet I always fail to update ours. I think I see a resolution for the new year presenting its self :)

Things are going well here. We are getting ready for Christmas. Finally got the last bits for the tree - a star and tree skirt - this morning. Evan couldn't believe how many lights I put on it - 900 - but it glows so beautifully haha.

I'm already almost done shopping which I'm thrilled about, but at the same time that means I have to start wrapping, which I HATE. I'm not good at it, but thankfully all John wants to do is rip it off anyway.

I can't wait for Christmas Morning to get here and see Johns face.
For those in my family, you know I love Christmas and have been known to wake up rather early in my excitement. Well I have found that I am worse in my excitement to see his. Last year I found myself laying awake in bed just waiting for him to wake up :)


Well enough random talk and I have no pictures to add. I have been lazy with the camera lately.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Flash Back...

So talking about John being a sweet boy, made me go back and look at old videos....here are a few of my favorite of my little man...

Brotherly Love

Tonight was so sweet....

Today was a day that bedtime could not come fast enough and I was getting really impatient with John to hurry up and pick a story so I could get him to sleep and then nurse Alan to sleep. Then he picks my favorite book. "I'll love you forever". He always seems to pick this book when I'm at my wits end and the book always reminds me how thankful I am for my little boys. So onto the sweet part...so as I'm reading the main part, I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always....John leans over and says it to Alan. My heart melted. He has soooo much love for his brother it amazes me. I was so worried that with him being such a mommas boy he would be jealous, but he rarely is. He always wants to hold, hug, snuggle, kiss, etc. on his brother. I am so thankful to have them both, even on days when I think my mommy tank is on empty!

Alan

So I am wayyyy behind but here is the beginning of a long update!

Alan has arrived! I was so happy I went into labor naturally! My water broke at 11:50PM on Monday July 20th. It was nice to experience it :)

I labored at home for a few hours and then we decided it was time to get John over to our friends house and head to the hospital.
We got to the hospital at around 4AM and got all set up. I did decide to get an epidural and got that at around 7AM and things moved fast from there.
Alan Edward Majoros arrived at 9:15 after less than 5 minutes of pushing. He weighed 9lbs 5ozs and was 20.5 inches long. We were shocked at the weight!

He is named after my Father :)

Pregnancy

Well so far this pregnancy has gone pretty well. I was pretty darn sick in the beginning but once that ended I've felt great. I'm totally nesting now and it cracks me up.

I'm 33 weeks now so only 7 more to go! I can't believe it.

John really loves feeling the baby kick and we talk to him often about my giving birth and us having a baby around. But who knows how much he understands. I'm sure there will be some jealous times, but at the same time John is such a lover that I know he will be a great big brother.

I will try to do better at keeping this up to date ;)

We have a fence!!

We are so happy, our fence is up! It makes going in the backyard so much more fun.

We've now started working on clearing the back half of the yard and it already looks so much better. John thinks it's so much fun to walk through. I can' wait until it's cleared and we can get a real swing set for him to play on and a sandbox or something.

FL visit May

Well a few weeks ago we went back to FL for our maybe final trip of the year :(

We had a blast. We went to the Urmson home first and spent a few nights...
The first day we went to a Suns game and John was great!
I just realized the pictures from that on on my moms computer not mine, well you can take my word it was fun!

We also went to the beach but I never took any pictures, sorry. John hated it at first so we figured why bring everything out, but after about 30 minutes of us talking to him he began to love it and now wants to go back. Figures :)

We also had a baby/diaper shower and it was a great chance to visit with the family.

I am using cloth diapers and got money to buy them with at the shower, along with some other handy baby items....this is what I used the money to buy :)

For those who care there are:
4 Infant, Unbleached Indian Prefolds
12 Small, Unbleached Indian Prefolds from green mountain
XS Thirsties Cover
Small Prorap Cover
Small Thirsties Cover
3 Bumgenius Onesize Pocket diapers
1 Fuzzi Bunz Onesize Pocket Diaper
1 Blueberry Orange Minkee Onseize Pocket Diaper
2 Thirsties Hemp inserts - Small
and a new Pail Liner (for a larger pail)

I've ordered a lot more, but this is what I "got" from the shower.


After the shower we went to stay with the Majoros and also had a blast. Sadly it rained almost the whole time we were there, but John loves seeing his cousins.
We went to the movies one night to see Star Trek and John stayed with Sarah (Evan's sister) and her family. And we later found out that he was not happy that we were gone. As John will tell you, "I screamed and screamed and cried because I could not see my mommy". He still reminds me daily of this :(...oh I'm going to miss my little man while I'm at the hospital.

FL visit in March

At least I think it was March, ha!

Here are a few pictures with updates:

John LOVES a sand pile that is at my parents house. When we were there on this trip it was his favorite place to play. I swear one day he played there for hours, and for those of you who have spent time with him will know that he usually won't stay on one thing that long :)

Needless to say he was DIRTY by the end of the day, so much so that I had to shower him off before he could take a bath...here are just his hands
2.5yrs 011


We had a family get together while we were there and my parents friend J.D. brought his motorcycle, which John was glued to for the whole day. But he would never let J.D. take him for a ride, he wanted to drive!
