Catch up!

WOW how does time go by so quickly?! I guess life is just really good and really busy at the same time! We are so happy, grateful and excited about a lot of things that our near future hold. Just to name a few...We recently moved and love our new/old little townhouse, and more importantly LOVE the location and love it's convenience! Shane has almost completed his first semester in grad school with a 4.0 (not easy to do with a crazy internship, a crazy two-year old and an expecting just as crazy wife) His dedication and love for his field amaze me and know this is what he was born to do. Not only has he had to juggle these things, which is like having a full time job (an unpaid full time job ;)) he now on top of that has added a job in the mix (a paying job :)). We really feel like this truly is a blessing! He barely has any time to spare but the time he does have, he will be working. Jobs are not easy to come by these days and especially a job that fits perfectly into his schedule. We never thought this would be possible because his program is so rough and they advise you not to have a job while going to school. Obviously they don't know how expensive it is to live in CA! Regardless, I am grateful for such a hard working husband who is willing to do anything to make sure his family is taken care of! Lastly, we are so excited about this baby boy onboard! We are counting down the days...I am 6 months along, 25 weeks and 3 days, about 102 days to go...don't worry I don't have this memorized, I cheated and looked at my sidebar.

Well, now that you don't need a Christmas card from the Bulkley's because clearly you know our life story...it's time to do something I swore I would never do! You know those people that don't update their blogs for months and months on end, and then all of the sudden there is post after post after post?! Come on, i'm not pointing my finger at you or judging, i'm just say'n, we all know "those" people. I like to call it BLOG THROW UP. I promise to not make it a habit, but I have to get caught up so here it goes...

The Friend

Thanks to Grandma Bulkley for ordering the Friend magazine for us. Clearly Tylie loves them! My friend Carrie had come over and we were hanging out and talking, we looked into the living room to find this...

None of these pictures were posed. Carrie grabbed my phone and started snapping away. Her expressions are so funny!

Love's of my life

One day last week Shane got out of his internship extra early. He picked up Ty and the two of them had dinner all ready when I walked in from work. So lucky to have such a thoughtful hubby and little girl! Tylie inherited a lot of her sweetness from Shane. I don't know what i'd do without these two. I love them more than life itself!

On the menu...Heart shaped pizza <3

P.S. Please excuse Ty's nudeness. This girl loves to run around the house in nothing but her undies.

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'
