Happy birthday my love!!!

Today is Joe's 26th birthday. I wanted to post some of my favorite things about him.

*He is the world's best dad!

*He is better than me at keeping our house clean...I can let laundry sit in a basket, but he's always the first one to start putting it away.

*He served a mission to Japan and loves the Japanese people...someday we'll get there Babe!!

*He loves his family so much.

*He is such a hard worker...sometimes I think he works too hard!

*He loves to play with Logan and get him to smile.

*He's always willing to rub my back or tickle my legs at night when he gets home from work...love it!!

*He has a strong testimony of the gospel.

*He's always willing to help someone out.

*He's very patient...he needs to give some of that to me!

*He lets me sleep in if he knows I've had a bad night.

*He plays with my hair when I go to sleep...I'm spoiled!

*He watches my favorite shows with me even though they drive him nuts!

*He's so good with our nieces and nephews and they all love him!

*He married me in the temple and has given me the greatest gift...my 2 baby boys!

*He loves me no matter what!

I love you so much Joe. I'm so glad that I met you and that we have been able to start our own family together. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. Happy Birthday Babe!!!

A few pics of my boy...

I haven't posted for a while so here are a few pictures of my baby boy, even though he's not much of a baby anymore!! He's going to be 1 in a few weeks and it makes me so sad! I can't believe how fast the time has gone and before we know it baby brother will be here. Things with the pregnancy are going good so far. I'm not on bedrest...at least yet...so it can't get much better!!

I'm awake!!

This is the face I walked in to today when Logan woke up from his nap. I love this boy!!!

My Handsome Boys

I love these 2 men in my life! I can't wait to add another...I'm getting very outnumbered, but look how cute my boys are so I can't complain!!

And then there were 2...

BOYS that is!! We found out today that Logan is going to have a baby brother. We're so excited! It's going to be fun having 2 boys so close together...at least we hope so!! He was being a little stink at first and didn't want to show us that he was a boy, but it's a definite! Here's the proof...

Sorry it's such a small picture. I scanned it in and for some reason it won't let me enlarge!

Baby #2 is on the way!!!

It was a BIG schocker but Logan's going to be a big brother! It was kind of strange because I knew before I took the test. It must have been right after it happened and I started feeling nauseous and getting pains in my stomach. I remembered having the same pains before I found out I was pregnant with Logan. I had called Joe at work freaking out that I might be but we both just blew it off thinking that it was just all in my head. But about 2 weeks later I was late and feeling really sick so I made Joe pick up a test on his way home from work and sure enough...POSITIVE!!!! I was freaking out when I saw it. I called my sister bawling because Logan was only 6 months at the time. How was I going to be able to handle 2 babies?!? Joe was really cute about it, telling me that everything was going to be fine and it was supposed to happen if it did. So now that I've had time for it to sink in I'm SO excited!! I wish it was closer! I'm 14 weeks now and had my cerclage on Monday so hopefully that means no bedrest this time around. So far things are going well and in a couple weeks we'll get to find out what we are having. I can't wait!!

9 Months

My little, well not so little, baby is 9 months old today. I really can't believe it! In just 3 months he'll be a year old...that makes me sad. But I sure have loved these 9 months that I have had to share with him. He is such a sweet baby! Some things I want to remember about him at 9 months...

*He has 4 teeth, and 2 more ready to pop through.

*He loves to hear himself "talk".

*He likes to suck on his lips.

*He's very ticklish.

*He loves crawling and having his freedom.

*He's starting to bite...uh oh!!

*He loves sucking through a straw and gets mad if someone has a drink and doesn't share it with him.

*He gets really excited when we come to get him out of his crib.

*He's not very good with strangers...he gets that from his mom!

*He likes to pull all of our DVD's out one at a time.

*He's is very entertained by a plastic hanger.

*He LOVES go-gurt! He gets so excited when he sees me get one out of the fridge.

*He loves the water...swimming, bathing, whatever!

*He's my precious little baby and I love him so much!!!
