A Crazy Life!

Okay so I realize that I haven't blogged since Octobober- holy crap! did we even have November? It felt like that month just flew by! Okay so a few updates:
Christian loved Halloween (I will post pictures, even though it is already December) we took him to our ward trunk-or-treat the day before Halloween, Dan started to take him around and he realized that just by going up to people and saying tick-or-treat he would get candy. It's magical! Anyway, then we took him home and dumped all of his spoils on the living room floor and let him have a couple pieces before he went to bed. Needless to say he is for sure my child because he LOVES anything with chocolate.
Okay, on to November. We spent Thanksgiving in Wyoming with Dan's brother and family, Greg and his family also came up. Dan and his brothers gamed their eyeballs out, we had a fantastic meal and then I promptly came down with a mild version of the 24 hour flu. There's nothing worse than feeling horrible especially when you are not home. I had a 24 ounce coke the whole day I sipped on that helped things. The baby has never had caffeine before and he was quite active for that whole day and the next.
Today is Dan's birthday, we get to be the same age for 4 months, wah-hoo. I am so excited for Christmas, it's funny I've always enjoyed the holiday's, but it makes such a big difference when you've got a kid, everything is heightened. You get to see everything new again through their eyes.
On a side note, funny random things Christian has been up to. He has figured out how to take his pants off, the fact that he is skinny does help with how loose his pants hang on him even with a diaper. But the other day he figured it out, so often I find him wandering around in his shirt and diaper, that's it. It's so funny. He also knows all of letters, I know...my kids a genius! Just kidding, I really owe it to a leapfrog DVD and "Super Why" on PBS. He is also a mama's boy, this is a new development. He freaks when I leave him, so, nursery has been interesting with my calling.
As far as we can tell the baby is doing well, I'm scheduled to have another c-section in January, this is a good thing, for all of you who remember what I had to go through last time to get Christian, I am relieved to know that I don't have the possibility of having to go through all of that again. It feels like this pregnancy has flown by though, I can't believe we have another baby coming so quick! It has been interesting to try and figure out how to re-arrange Christian's room and closet to make room for another babe.
Okay well that's my life updated in a nutshell. I promise to post pics soon.

Life is crazy! I literally can't keep up. I'm always wishing that I had more time to blog.

Yay for updates!!! It sounds like you are keeping busy and having some fun as well. I'm sorry you were sick. Not fun. I'm glad you are now well. It sounds like Christian is so grown up. I am excited to see all the changes. You will have to let me in on how you are stimulating his brain to produce such genius (DVD names, show times, etc.). :) See you soon!

Hey Beth! How are you?! I'm glad that you updated the old blog! It took you long enough! Glad to hear that you're all healthy and stuff. What happened with your first delivery? Pretty traumatic huh? Childbirth is the craziest thing. Anyway, hope that you have a fantastic Holiday! Love you!
