New Season of LOST

I am so excited for tonight, the new season of Lost is starting!!! Me and Josh have been able to catch up on netflix, we just finished last season a couple weeks ago and can not wait for the season primier! The last season left me totally baffled, what is going to happen next? Me and Josh both have games tonight (bball and vball) so we are going to have to bust out a VHS and record it( who needs DVR?) That sounds so old fashioned.

Bad Pictures

So I was looking at my pictures and they all seem so blurry! I have to admit my camera is not top of the line, but it seems like the quality of my pictures was getting worse! Than I remembered that J.J. licked the lense, and it still had crap on it. I cleaned it off, now hopefully my pictures will come out a little better. If not, I need a new camera!

Me and C-Bob

"I WANT TO BE MOBILE!!"





Carter wants to move sooooo bad! He's getting closer and closer. I don't know if I am that anxious for him to get around, it just means more crying from J.J. because Carter is getting close to him! He's very sensitive to Carter touching his things, or even just getting CLOSE to his things.

Playing Daddy


J.J. wanted to dress up like dad, he told me he was going to the office.

"Drink you veggies!!"



I wonder how many times I will say that in my life? J.J. chose peas for the veggie at dinner. He actually really like peas and gobbles them up really good. But at dinner this time he decided to put them all in his water, which we didn't really notice he was doing that until they were pretty much all in there. I hate to see all those peas go to waste, so I told him he made "pea juice, yummy!" I told him he needs to drink his pea juice. AND HE DID!! I don't think he finished all the peas, but he drank WAY more than I would have!

I GOT A JOB!

Some of you know already, I got a job. I think my title is psychosocial rehabilitation therapist. It sound WAY better that it really is!!! What I will be doing is working with kids that have had behavioral and social problems, I just do activities with them, or take them out in the community and help them work on being normal, and just provide a postivie influence (most of them don't have any positive in their life). I have only done it a few times now, but so far I think it will be good. It pays way good, and I can make my own schedule and only work 8-10 hours a week if I want. It's the perfect mom job! I think it will be good to get out of the house, and actually be making a difference in these little kids lives.

C-Bob

Does anyone else have one of these seats? I am borrowing it from a friend, I love it, carter loves it too. It's perfect for his age because he wants to sit up and see what's going on. They are great!

Things I discovered about J.J. this week.....

J.J. is growing up, he's a kid now!! He really has an imagination, this week he came to me and said "do you hear that?" "it's a elephant!!!!" He was pretending that there were animals all over the house in different rooms, then we went around and found them all. Some we had to run away from because we were scared, it was so cute.
I also discovered that J.J. has freckles now, ya know how babies never have any freckles or moles or anything. I guess I know for sure he's not a baby any more, I counted 5 freckles!
Then I have really observed J.J. when he is around other kids, either his cousins, or when I take him to volleyball at the church and there is lots of kids around, and I have noticed that he does not like conflict. When other kids are getting mad or fighting about something he tends to get as far away as possible. He avoids being in those situations where kids are getting mad or pushing. I guess that is a good thing.
He is growing up and it's fun to see his little personality come out even more! Josh said this about J.J.'s age "this is the age where Dad's start to like their kids." He just loves how JJ can play and communicate now. It's so fun!

I am working on my blog

that is why things don't look the best. I am trying to figure out how to put a different template on here. It will probably take a few days! If anyone knows how let me know. And how do I get my family picture in the header bigger?

Same Face!


So this was THE FIRST time I have been able to get a picture of these two together. Now, I know it's not the cutest, but I am just so happy JJ didn't push him off the couch. I had to hurry and get these. I thought it was funny because both pictures they have the same expression. I love these guys!

My Struggle!

How come I can't work out anymore! It used to be a MUST for me, and don't get me wrong it's still important to me, but just not my top priority. Now I barely work out twice a week (okay.... I'm counting chasing J.J. everyday as a workout) (he's big, so it counts :) All I know is, I have a Buckle gift card from my parents that I am anxious to spend on some new jeans. BUT I have to get rid of this muffin top before I'm buying anything new! I need to get my butt in gear and get serious! I need some motivation!

I've decided I'm DUMB!

I feel like I am getting so un smart lately. I have decided that I need to read more books or something because I feel like other than all the mom stuff that you learn, I don't know anything! When I learn about something or hear something new that little voice in my head says... "gilly, you should probably retain this information for future use in conversation, or just to have for general knowledge." And then I just forget everything! Do any other mom's feel this way??

Just an Update

So just to keep you all posted on our lives,
Carter has two teeth now
J.J.'s favorite animal has been the giraffe for the past 6 months, as of yesterday it is now the crocodile
Carter is learning to get his way by being very cute and very very loud
J.J. has been having nightmares about tumble weeds, at least that's what I thought he was saying
Carter likes to wake up many times in the night crying, and when I go in there he laughs at me ( I think he knows what he's doing)

I love these little guys!

More Christmas Pictures

Christmas Fun

Christmas was great this year, it was so fun to see both me and josh's families! We celebrated christmas eve and christmas with Josh's family. It was sooooo fun. We played deal or no deal, Bingo, ate lots of treats, went to a movie, and just hung out all together. I love josh's family, they are so fun to be around.
Then the day after christmas my mom and dad and brother made the trek up from Utah to Idaho. We had our christmas with them that night. We also ate lots of food, watched movies, and just hung out together. JJ loved having them here, he had such a blast playing with them and all his toys! This Christmas couldn't have been better!
