The Holidays

I always hate it when stores start christmas stuff before thanksgiving has even passed but this year i am looking forward to christmas so much i have already started to hang some decorations, if aaron would let me i would put up our tree too but he says it is not officially christmas time until the day after thanksgiving which i kinda agree with. i think i am just so excited because it is Aj's first christmas. I know he wont really understand but i'm pretty sure he will know how to open his presents and stuff.

something else really exciting is that in january we will be going to see my parents in maui. i am so excited! aaron can only stay for a week then he will have to come back home to work but aj and i will stay an extra two weeks. i'm kinda bummed to spend two weeks apart (it will be the longest we will be separated) but it will be fun to spend some time with my family and of course to spend lots of time at the beach. Im going to try really really really hard to get tan too!

Birthdays

well we are on our birthday season...I just had mine and aaron's is coming up in the beginning of nov. Aaron's parents were passing though so we got to spend my birthday with them. they're in Connecticut now getting Lance settled into his new job. they have also been scoping out houses to live in that is close to a park so that aj will have plenty of room to play when we come up!

Aj has been doing really well with his high chair and cereal. in fact i cant shovel it in fast enough for him. something i didn't notice i do is when i give him a bite i open my mouth really wide and when he eats it i say mmmmmm. Now ever time he takes a bite he says it too its really cute and a much needed relief from him spitting it at me (which he thought was pretty funny there for a week or so).

This is Aj sleeping with his glow worm usually he pushes it to the side when he is done playing and ready to go asleep but this day he was just too tired.

And as you can see we got a brand new car!!! it is a 2008 beautiful Nissan Xterra. We love it! it is the best car ever and we are just so excited to no longer have to go on our long trips in that cramped little camery. Not that we dont love our camery it was just a little scary going on a road trip and wondering if the car was going to make it!

High Chair!

Last night was a very exciting night for Aj. He got to eat in his 'big boy' high chair for the first time. He did such a good job too. He really didn't spit anything out. Every time i gave him a bite of cereal he would make this face like 'yuck what is this?' and then he'd go 'oh well i'll eat it anyways'. He did that almost ever time! It was so funny...I couldn't believe how much he ate too. Oh my Gosh! In my book it said to just give him a teaspoon or two when i poured the cereal i poured way too much and he ate it all anyways and wanted more. This morning when i gave it to him for breakfast he just kept eating and eating...I think he is the bottomless pit or something he does such a good job. He even tries to help me hold the spoon when i feed him...way cute!

Infomercials!!!!

So i am terrible when it comes to infomercials. I always get sucked into whatever they are selling. so far i have these dance workout tapes (hip hop abs) that i have never used, and the shark knife sharpeners (which kinds works well, at least i use those) and now i just got this philosophy kit (its a skin care brand) i got the face wash, moisturizer, eye cream, and body gel AND as a free gift they threw in a travel bag, exfoliating scrub, lip moisturizer, and a sample of their micro derma peel to get me started. yes i was sucked in. I have heard really good things about philosophy though and with the colder weather here my face is getting so dry that i'm starting to peel and flake like some kind of lizard. I have been waiting and waiting for it to come but no luck yet. I've been tracking it and supposedly it is suppose to be here today but it just arrive in salt lake so i dont know if it is going to make it. it is really sad that right now the most exciting thing in my life is waiting for that package...oh and the new tricks that Aj can do...

So far he can grab his feet, grab a toy held out in front of him, hold his chew toy, keep his head level with his body when i pull him up (i was way excited about that one), and almost roll over (his bottom half will be completly rolled over but his top half will get stuck on his side cuz his arms get in the way, sad)

So the only other news is that Aaron leaves today to go deer hunting all weekend long, i'm a little worried cuz i've never taken care of Aj all day and night by my self so hopefully i do ok and do go crazy. I just hope he gets his deer soon so he can come home, i've always wanted to try veal too so it should be interesting.

Here are the pics that i said i would post showing aaron getting sworn in. if you want to see more look at my album on facebook
