It's a world of laughter.. .

It was love at first hug! We went to Disney with my friend and her two kids yesterday. (Lb: small world was closed!!!) The sun was bright and it was in the mid 70's. Perfect! Makena has always been unsure of the characters but not yesterday! She hugged a bug and Minnie!!

My mom and dad!

Got Milk?

The only way she'll drink milk is if it is chocolate and in a "cool" cup with a straw. This is Nicholas and Makena at Red Robin where they downed their chocolate milk. I consider chocolate milk a treat so she just eats yogurt and cheese and drinks OJ to get her calcium intake. :)

this is the real scoop

ok, so i was wrong about the bedroom picture. go to potterybarnkids.com and click on girls's rooms. find Jillian and click on it. the way the walls are painted is how we are going to try to do the baby's room. we can't put up a chair rail b/c of the big curved walled and i don't want a solid blue or green room b/c we have those already.

the baby's room

Hey, go to potterybarnkids.com and look at the catelogue (sp?) online. Check out the walls on page 11. I think that is how we will paint the baby's room. (no, we are not having any hanging butterflies!! :) )

What have we been doing???

I haven't really written a lot lately because I have been busy. . . potty training and trying to slowly get our house preped to add two more feet. We've had some surprises this month. The biggest one is that we are not moving this year. Ryan's company is not hiring but laying off some people which means that we will be staying in CA for at least another year. (All of our friends out here and Angie were sooooo excited that we were not going to move. :) ) We are ok with it because having a new baby and selling the house was not going to be ideal. Therefore, we are currently trying to figure out some bedroom furniture for Makena because our baby boy will get some of her things, pick out new bedding for her, and transform our office into the baby's room. My sis has volunteered to store some of our office furniture which is wonderful. We are going to lose our guest room though. Hey, there is always the couch, right? :)

opening presents was a blast for her!

Christmas Fun

Here are our pictures from Christmas at the Shepherd's house.

Christmas Surprise

Here is a little poem we gave to our families on Christmas morning:

Rudolph's nose is red

Santa's suit is too,

Makena loves the color pink,

Our new baby will love blue!

We are adding a little boy to our family! We waited until the 10th of December to open the envelope to find out. We had the nurse put it in there just incase we "had" to know and of course, we "had" to know. While I was home, I got to go through my nephews clothes and pick out ones to use. Our little baby is set on sleepers for 0-3 months!!! They were all soooo cute that I had to actually stop myself from taking them all. I guess that is the thing with flying.. . .weight limit. Nicholas had lots of great things for his new cousin to borrow and he kept wanting to see the baby. The next big question is, " what is his name?" Good question!!! We'll let you know after we decide!!! :) We haven't found the perfect name yet! Hope you all had a great holiday! I will post more about the trip this afternoon or tomorrow.
