Christmas time!

I am so stinkin excited about Christmas! Tomorrow we are going to my aunt's house in Anaheim Hills to celebrate Christmas with my dad's side of the family...although he won't be there... And it will be the first Christmas celebration with Riley...well besides The Thompson's sweater party which was super fun.

And we got snow in Yucaipa! Yay! That was super fun! I was so excited to see it. And it got pretty thick and it lasted for a while actually! It's so beautiful! 

 

Another exciting thing is that I am off until Friday of next week! yahoo! It kinda sucks that the 2 days I have to work are the days Tommy doesn't, but it's alright. At least we have Christmas!

Well, I gotta help Tommy with Riley, he doesn't want to fall asleep! 

Night!

December 9th

I wanted to write a post yesterday but I didn't have a chance to. Yesterday was December 9th 2008. It was exactly two years ago that Tommy asked me to marry me and we've been married exactly 1 1/2 years! Wahoo! Who would have known that we already had a kid! Well, God knew. It was in his plan. And I'm so glad too, cause I love our little boy so much!

I'm so excited for Christmas! I love this time of year. The weather, the smells, the lights, the music, the joy, the family time. And it's so fun cause it's Riley's first Christmas! I think we're gonna go look at lights on this street that is absolutely amazing. There are like 3 blocks full of houses that are completely decorated. It's amazing. Anyone want to come with?

So Riley had his 4 month appointment on Monday. He now weighs 15 lbs 9 oz! Wow! He is so big! And he's 25 and 3/4 inches long! My big boy loves his momma's milk! haha. 

Well, I gotta work all day today and I gotta get the boy ready for his grandma's. Love you all, have a good one. I promise I'll put more pictures or videos up soon.

dance

Okay, so I know that it's high school musical and I am 22 years old but they have some pretty amazing scenes. This one makes me miss dance so much..

and this one makes me smile.

man i miss dance and theater.

Riley is awesome

So, I love my son so stinking much. It's amazing. He is so cute. 

He learned how to dance really well. Look!

Also he's getting really close to rolling over! He almost did it today. It was so exciting! I can't wait until he can.

He's started to laugh and chuckle. it's so cute. I need to get a video of that soon. He smiles so much!

He's becoming so big. He's holding things.

He's even learned how to ride a motorcycle! (look at it sideways)

He's just so amazing and I love him so much.

Today I was at my grandma/mom's place and my grandma was holding him and he was about to "talk" to her and he looks up at her hair (which was quite messy) and starts screaming! She totally scared him! He was crying, and then she fixed her hair and he was fine. It was sad but really funny. 

He has so much stinkin personality it's crazy. I love him. 

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Not just because of the great food like turkey and mashed potatoes, and pie, but because of the family time. I love it because of the weather. I love it because of the cozy feeling going to someones house, using blankets, watching a movie, just being around family. I love the meaning of it, giving thanks. Every year my family and I all stand around before we eat and we say what we are thankful for. It's one of our traditions and I love it.

So a few things I am thankful for this year are:

-That I had a great pregnancy and easy delivery.

-That Riley is a healthy boy.

-That my friends and family supported me with his colic and me stressing out.

-That my husband is willing to listen, help with Riley, do dishes, make dinner, just do what he can to help me.

-For having friends that care.

-For my family.

-For my mom getting out of the hospital and doing such a great recovery.

-For all the support we've gotten from Sanctuary and Rod and everyone there.

-For having such an amazing church and the opportunity that we have to love, serve, and learn about God.

-For the opportunity to worship God with the gifts He has given me.

-For my husband having a good job that provides for our family.

-For my mother in law who has offered to watch our son while I work.

-For my life.

I love thanksgiving. Lets count our blessings today.
