Uncle

Last night we went down to Santa Monica to Uncle Jeff's work for a Season Kick off Party. We had a blast. Tylie thinks the world of her Uncle Jeff and thinks he is the coolest dude around.

They had a ski simulator that Ty was dying to try out...

Thanks for a fun night!

Anything like me

Brad Paisley- Anything like me

I remember sayin' I don't care either way
Just as long as he or she is healthy I'm okay
Then the doctor pointed to the corner of the screen
And said, "You see that thing right there, well you know what that means"

I started wondering who he was going to be
And I thought heaven help us if he's anything like me

He'll probably climb a tree too tall and ride his bike too fast
End up every summer wearin' something in a cast
He's gonna throw a ball and break some glass in a window down the street

He's gonna get in trouble, oh he's gonna get in fights
I'm gonna lose my temper and some sleep
It's safe to say that I'm gonna get my payback if he's anything like me

I can see him right now, knees all skinned up
With a magnifying glass tryin' to melt the Tonka truck
Won't he be a sight with his football helmet on?
That'll be his first love 'til his first love comes along

He'll get his heart broke by the time he's in his teens
And heaven help him if he's anything like me

He'll probably stay out too late and drive his car too fast
Get a speeding ticket, he'll pay for mowing grass
He's gonna get caught skippin' class and be grounded for a week

He's gonna get into trouble, we're gonna get in fights
I'm gonna lose my temper and some sleep
It's safe to say that I'm gonna get my payback if he's anything like me

He's gonna love me and hate me along the way
Years are gonna fly by and I already dread the day

He's gonna hug his momma, he's gonna shake my hand
He's gonna act like he can't wait to leave
But as he drives out he'll cry his eyes out if he's anything like me
There's worst folks to be like, oh he'll be alright if he's anything like me

Shane and I first heard this song about a month into my pregnancy. Ever since that day Shane insisted it was going to be a boy...he was right, and we are thrilled. Well, most of us are thrilled. With Tylie, it has taken a good month to get used to the idea of a brother. When the ultrasound tech confirmed it was a boy, Tylie screamed "I wanted a baby sister!" Since then we have been throwing out A LOT of names, (does anyone think naming a boy is harder then naming a girl?) you know names we have always liked. Asking her opinion on all of our suggestions. We ask her a name and the response is always "NO" until we said how about Ryder? Now, I don't know if we will be able to change his name because she is very insistent that her brother's name is Ryder! She always says "Mommy make sure you eat a lot because Ryder is hungry." or " I have two of this toy, one for me and one for Ryder." We'll see if that name stays, we keep going back and forth on this whole name thing!

The Happs...

Baby #2 is cookin'

Due March 5, 2011 I am 13 weeks and 2 days and SO excited to be out of the first trimester!

Yahoooooooo! We're stoked!

Now we can get back to blogging.

Blessed

Blessed to be an American, blessed to live in this country and blessed to be surrounded by these people...

A beautiful day in the neighborhood

And I had a camera...so why not?!

Jealous that I don't have one wave on my head, and she has all of these...

I love my job, as her mom...99.9% of the time!

Happiest Place on Earth

I have a ton of pictures I need to upload of our trip to Disneyland, but it's going to take a while! So, in the meantime I just wanted to document the experience we had before I forget all the details!

Oh my gosh, what a fun day! Luke, Traci, Bailee and Maddox were all in town to go to Disneyland for a week, so we tagged along for a day. It was both Tylie and Bailee's first time so they were sooo excited to say the least! Bailee was dressed as a beautiful princess and was so into the whole "princess thing." To my surprise Tylie really wasn't. She was all about the Disney characters! She LOVED them! There is something so amazing about the magic that is created there, especially to a child. I loved seeing Tylie's little face lit up all day. Shane and I kept commenting to each other about how her expressions were worth a million bucks and how we would have paid any amount of money to see her so excited and ridiculously happy like that! She was so cute! Singing and dancing all day long...until about 11:00 p.m. when she crashed. It was the perfect day that I know we will keep very close to our hearts...I know it sounds lame because it was just Disneyland, but this trip was different. It was perfect, no whining, no crying, no complaining...just sunshine and happiness all day long! At about 11:00 when Tylie couldn't keep her eyes open any longer, we took one last stroll down Main St. and got Ty a few souvenirs. She loves babies so we got her a Minnie baby and an Ariel doll. When we put her to bed that night we laid Minnie beside her, I wish everyone could have heard what I heard when she woke up! "HI MINNIE!! MOMMY LOOK IT'S MINNIE, SHE'S SLEEPING WITH ME! OH MOMMY THANK YOU."

She would not stop kissing Mickey!

I wish I could have been in her head and knew exactly what she was thinking!

Still stoked on Minnie and Ariel and she asks to wear these little ear barrettes almost everyday...I'm going to have to accidentally loose those soon!

Los Angeles

DODGERS! We went to a Dodger game and it was probably the best game I have ever been to. Field level seats, Dodger dogs and good company. Doesn't get much better than that! These are a few pictures I took with my phone. My dad had a bunch on his computer, but it crashed before I stole them! So of course, just a few of T.B...
