Blog again?
Thinking about if I should start blogging again? Mostly just because I want to document my life and somehow have my boys either read it in the future or just so I have the memories written down. I am pretty good at keeping the memories in my head or taking lots of pictures but I want to document it too. Maybe I will start something small. Something like every night I need to take 5 minutes to tell a funny story about my day with 2 boys or just something about my life/being a stay at home mom.

Thankful
I am thankful for...
My healthy and happy son
My hard working and loving husband
The child growing inside of me
A so far, healthy pregnancy (25 weeks!)
The doctors that have been watching me very closely since I found out I was pregnant
My job and my husbands job
Friends and family
Our cozy house
The health of my son (I have been thinking about this a lot lately because I have been reading about a 18 month old that has cancer. So sad)
Wireless internet
Down comforters
Our awesome babysitter that cares for Deegan like a mother!
Sugar cookies and Trader Joe's yogurt
Elmo's World
We had a nice quiet Thanksgiving this year. We went to my aunt Debbie's house and had dinner with her and her boyfriend, Gary. They love seeing Deegan and are so sweet to him. Debbie and Gary made all the food and we didn't have to do anything. It was nice not to have to cook or go grocery shopping. I felt spoiled. Hopefully next year I will cook our dinner. I love cooking and I miss it but I just don't have the time or energy right now to plan, shop, cook, clean, etc.
Another Thanksgiving has passed. I am so thankful for a lot of things in my life. I hope we all continue to be healthy and happy. I love my family.

Our weekend
Our weekend. This weekend was pretty nice and relaxing. Time flies when you only have 2 days off and back to work for 5 days! Friday I had a doctors appointment. Yay for 20 weeks! It was at Desert Prenatal Associates, which is my high risk doctor. They did a long ultrasound and did a lot of measuring on the baby to check for size. It is so different doing ultrasounds with your second. With Deegan we were in ahhh watching it on the screen, but this time around you just want to make sure everything looks healthy. But the baby is doing great and so I am! And we are having a boy! We found that out a few weeks ago.
After the doctors we took Deegan to the pumpkin patch by the house. He loved to just run around! He doesn't sit still. I wonder if he could run around for an hour if we let him. We went into the petting zoo and the animals came right up to Deegan and he was a little scared. He really liked the chicken. Then we put him in the bounce house and he wasn't too sure about that. He didn't want to stand, so he just crawled around. After the pumpkin patch we went to Sweet Tomato for dinner. That is one of our favorite family restaurants. Deegan gets to try so many new foods. He had his favorite - sweet potato, raisins, pasta and mac n cheese. He had his first ice cream cone and was so cute eating it. At first he thought it was really cold and would only put the tip of his tongue on the ice cream. Then once he figured out how yummy it was, he went crazy.
Saturday, I had to work at the new mom baby shower in our company store. The event went great. I planned the whole thing and it was a lot of fun! After that Kevin picked me up and we all went to Red Robin for dinner. Lots of eating out lately because I don't feel like cooking! Then we went to the park and Deegan ran around again like a crazy little boy!
Sunday was very nice. We never left the house. We played with Deegan a lot. He got some new trucks and he loved playing with them. We also read a lot of book and wrestled on the floor for a little. He took a wonderful 3.5 hour nap, while I worked on his Halloween costume and made chicken enchiladas for the week. Then he woke up and we played more and watched Shrek for the first time. We had Taco Salad for dinner.
Today is mine and Kevin's 3rd year anniversary. Married for 3 years but we have been together for 9 years. We aren't doing much for our anniversary. We would of gone out to dinner this weekend but we don't have anyone to watch Deegan.

It's been awhile
I haven't updated my blog in a long time. I have been busy working and that has kept me and my family so busy that there isn't much time for the computer. I am at work right now but I have 15 minutes before I can go home, so I thought I would bust out a little 10 minute blogging with what has been going on.
- First, the most exciting news, we are expecting baby #2! I am 13 weeks and due March 7. It was a surprise but very welcomed. I can't wait to be a mom to another little one. I am excited for a little baby but nervous about having 2 kids to take care of. Deegan wants all my attention.
- Been very busy with doctors appointments. I have to go to my OB every 2 weeks and I have to go to my Cardiologist every month and get an Echo done. I also have to go to my high risk doctor every 6 weeks. I was diagnosed with postpartum cardiomyopathy when Deegan was 6 days old, so we are scared that it can come back. But the good thing this time around is that we know my condition and we know what to look out for.
- We are going to Disneyland! Kevin won the grand prize on the radio and we won a 2 night stay at Disneyland and 3 day passes to the park. We are going the first week of October. Can't wait!! Deegan has been to Disneyland once, when he was 6 months old, but now he is older and walking and we will have so much fun. It will be our last vacation as a family of 3. We are going to the park on Saturday and not leaving until Monday. Can't wait to have a great family vacation!
- In about 2 weeks will mine and Kevin's 9 year dating anniversary. We still celebrate it (not by doing anything big, but just not honoring the day) because we dated for 6 years before we got married.
- Deegan is a crazy little boy! He is all over the place. He loves books, trucks and cars. He is so sweet and loves to give kisses and hugs. I love when he wraps his little arms around me! He is talking a lot too! He says a few words but most of it is just baby talk. He sleeps great (knock on wood!). Since I have been back to work (almost 4 months) he has not woken up once in the middle of the night!
- Family is good. My parents are just doing their thing. Ryan and Sarah and the kids are good. Lily is one and getting ready to walk. The Clawson side of the family is all good too. Riley just started pre-school. I miss those girls! Aunt Debbie came over and watched Deegan on Saturday night so we could go out with our friends. Her and Gary enjoy playing with Deegan.
Okay time is up. I need to log out and go get my little man! Hopefully I will update more often! Maybe we will find out the sex of baby #2 on Friday!!

Happy 18 months Deegan
(I actually typed this yesterday but didn't get a chance to post it. Tuesday was his 18 month birthday.)
Dear Deegan,
Today you are 18 months old and you are growing up so fast. I love spending all my time with you and when I don't get enough time with you it makes me sad. I have been back at work for 2 months now and as soon as I get home, I just want to steal you and get lots of kisses. We haven't taken you to your 18 month doctors appointment yet but I am sure you are just over 30 pounds and probably 35 or 36 inches. You are wearing size 2T shorts, 3T shirts and size 5 diapers. You are tall like your daddy! You have been a great sleeper since for the past 2 months. You have always been a pretty good sleeper, but we were having problems with teeth, a few months ago. We haven't had any new teeth come through, so you have been happy. Right now you have 12 teeth, and 4 others ones that are almost all the way through. You love to try to feed yourself but it gets messy! I only let you try if you are taking a bath right after. You do pretty good with the apple sauce but you still always end up turning the spoon and it ends up all down your shirt. You are a very busy boy. We took you to Orange County for a week and anytime we went somewhere new, we had to chase you around. You do not just sit there and play, you want to explore everything! You keep your mommy busy. You are starting to run and you get excited when you do it. The other day you ran to me 2 times and gave me a big hug. It was an awesome feeling! You still love Elmo. You also love trucks, cars, keys, balls and playing with your tee-ball set. You have been able to spend a lot of time with daddy lately, because work is slow. He has been teaching you new things like how to swing the bat and how to shake hands. You have been starting to get mad when I take something away from you. When you get mad you swing your arms around and put your hand over your mouth. It is really funny and I am not sure why you do it. You have also been talking a lot. In the past few months you have learned - mama, dada, elmo (but you call him elbo), ball, keys, cheese, truck, car, gog gog (dog), auntie cc (but you just say cccc), andrew, outside, nite nite. You also know the difference between your bedroom and the bathroom. When we walk upstairs at night time, I will either tell you to go to your bedroom and go nite nite or go to the bathroom and take a bath, and you know which one to go to. It amazes me how fast you learn.

Vacation
We are taking a little family vacation right now. We came out to Orange County for a whole week the week of 4th of July. I asked my work before they even hired me if I could have this week off. We had 3 birthdays to celebrate while out here. Our niece Reagan turned 2 on the 4th, our other niece Lily will be 1 on the 9th and Kevin turned 30 on the 6th. We have had a lot of fun with taking Deegan to new places. It is fun that he is walking now. It makes it more fun for us all to do things as a family. We were hoping to go to Disneyland while out here but didn't make it. Hopefully next time. We won a family vacation pack to Disneyland for 3 days (Kevin won the grand prize on the radio) so hopefully we can use that in September and take Deegan to Disneyland again.
I have a lot more pictures on my digital camera but didn't bring the cable to upload any of them. So these are just some of the random photos that I had on my iPhone. I have a great picture of Deegan with all 4 of his cousins on my camera!
All the fun things we have done since we got here:
Saturday - Playing in the backyard at Grandma and Grandpa's was so much fun. Deegan got to do all his favorite "boy" things - play in the water, play with dirt, chase the dogs around, etc. Then dinner at Polly's Pies with all the gray hair ladies in the background! haha! Some little old lady came up and gave him a $1 for his piggy bank.
Sunday - BBQ at my parents house with my family and Kevin's family. All of Deegan's cousins were here and he had some much fun with all of them! Pictures on digital camera.
Monday - the 4th. Deegan and Dylan had a playdate in the backyard. They played in the pool together and had a great time. Here is a video of the boys playing! They are only 4 days apart! Deegan also got to play with Lily and Andrew some more. Then we went to our sister-in-laws parents house for a BBQ and to celebrate Reagan's 2nd birthday. Then we watched fireworks in the front yard for a little bit. Deegan was scared of them so we took off. He feel asleep on the drive home, so we stopped by Disneyland and got to see the big firework show!
Tuesday - Beach time! We took Deegan to Balboa Beach. It is one of our favorite beaches in Orange County. It is not too busy and close walking distance from parking to water. Deegan had fun at the beach and enjoyed playing in the sand and watching the birds. Kevin took him out into the water and he liked that too but it was a little cold for him. Here are some pictures and videos of Deegan at the beach. Also on Tuesday Kevin got his first tattoo!
Wednesday - Kevin's 30th birthday! I surprised Kevin and we went and stayed a night at Casa Laguna Bed and Breakfast. We took Deegan with us down to Laguna Beach for a few hours so he could hang out with his daddy on his birthday. We had a lot of fun playing at the beach again. Then my mom picked him up and took him back to her place for the night. Kevin and I had a nice dinner together and then had a relaxing night with NO baby! That was our first night away from Deegan as a couple. It was nice!
Thursday - Kevin and I spend the rest of our day in Laguna Beach then dinner with his parents.
Tomorrow we are going to an Angels baseball game and Deegan is having another playdate with Dylan. On Saturday we are going to Lily's birthday at the park and then on Sunday we might head back to Vegas in the morning but stop by Banning, CA to visit some of Kevin's family.
So far it has been a very busy vacation but great! That is what vacations are for! We have been making a lot of family memories and Kevin and I have had a chance to rebond and have some great time together!
