We did it

Last night when we put nate in a "big boy bed." It probably wasnt the best night to make the change because he was really sick. He woke up 3 times the night before throwing up and then yesterday he had a high fever all day. It was the only day we had to take down the crib and put up the bed so we went ahead and did it. He fell asleep watching a movie last night on the couch so we just put him in the bed. He woke up during the night though with a high fever so he kept getting out of bed. Hopefully this will stop when he is not sick anymore...

His new bed!

He looks so tiny in it!

Of course he cant sleep without his bears!

It's time...

As some of you know this is what has been happening in our house for the last month...

He is the expert at climbing out of his crib! Every time I tell people this they are amazed and ask how he does it. Well I managed to capture it on video! He does it almost every time we go to lay him down. At first it wasn't to bad because he couldnt open his bedroom door and he would only climb out at nap time, but after about a week he figured out how to open the door and master climbing out even when it was dark in his room! He is one determined little boy! About 2 weeks ago we did out nightly routine with him and laid him down for bed. Skyler and I were just out talking in the kitchen and all of a sudden we hear nates door open! I was like "Nate, that better not be you coming out of your room!" We heard the door shut and he didnt make a peep! Ha ha! I went in there because I knew he would not be able to climb back in his crib and I was like "nate what are you doing...its nigh night time." He walked back over to his crib and stuck his hands up for me to stick him back in because he knew he was in trouble! Now every time he tries to open the door I say "nate, that better not be you coming out!" He shuts the door and just plays with his toys until he falls asleep on the ground.

We have finally decided its time to put him in a "big boy bed." I have been dreading this day, but now that he treats his crib like a bed I dont think its going to be a big ordeal to switch him over. Skyler's grandma has an extra twin bed she said we could have, so sometime this week we will go get that and make the switch. I am also dreading making the switch because I cant believe he is already old enough to be in a "big boy bed." Isnt he just a baby still!! It makes me sad to see him growing up so fast, but it is a lot of fun too! I love that I can be a stay at home mom with him! There is no greater job in the world!

Anniversary!

So yesterday Skyler and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary! I am so in love with that boy! It was such a great day! Thank you to everyone who called and left messages wishing us a happy anniversary! We really appreciate it! He made a slideshow for me that started with the time we were dating until now. Of course I balled while watching it ha ha and then we went to dinner at the Gun Barrel! So yummy! Then we went to the mall and then to see Dear John! I think he was the only guy in the movie ha ha! We saw some of his old high school girl friends and he had to make it clear he was only seeing it with me since it was our anniversary! Ha ha! I liked the movie, but I didnt love it like I thought I would. Had it ended a little different I probably would've loved it!  All in all it was a wonderful day! I am so lucky and honored to have him as a husband and the father of my children! I look forward to many more wonderful years!

My anniversary present 11 days early!

So my old computer died and I havent had one for what seems to have been a year and yesterday we got new one! I was using a sony pc laptop and my husband has a mac laptop. He is huge apple fan now after having the mac computer, I touch and I phone so he wanted to get an imac for our home computer. They are pretty pricey so we have been putting off getting me one until we could afford one (I assumed it would be another few months). Yesterday we found an AMAZING deal on a 20" imac computer! It is so nice and so big! Everything is so clear and crisp (its like HD tv but on a computer!) I feel like I am looking at a tv screen! I was worried about getting a mac because I am not use to them, but I LOVE it! I now prefer it over a regular pc computer! I guess my husband converted me to be an apple lover too :)

My new computer!

A few pictures!

Here are the pictures that should have gone with that post:

My chirstmas presents from Skyler (I just hung them up in the entry way and love them! You will all have to come over and see them because they look better in person!)

It has been forever!

I know it has been forever since I have posted, but I promise we are still alive and doing awesome! My computer offically died about 2 weeks ago and so thats why I havent been able to blog or really be on the computer at all! I am at my moms house now using her computer so I thought I better give at least some kind of update! So here is a brief one...our christmas and new years was so wonderful and definitely one of the best! We were all so spoiled and it was so nice being with all our family! I really missed my sister amanda being here though! It just wasnt quite the same without her here! Its weird to think that next christmas Amanda, my brother Ty, and my brother-in-law Justin will all be on missions! What a blessing that will be for our family, but it will be crazy not to have the be with us!

Oh and I FINALLY finished painting Nates room! That took way longer then I expected! I dont think I will ever do something that detailed again! From now on I will just paint one solid color or maybe a few stripes or something! I love how it turned out and I am glad I did it, but it is definitely a one time thing! Now its time decorate (lets hope that doesnt take as long!) I have pictures on my camera, but I didnt bring the cord with me so I will have to upload those later! Sorry!

Skyler finished school last semester and has LOVED not going back! He made sure he rubbed it into his brothers that they had to go back and he didnt! He finished off last semester with a 4.0 and I am so proud of him! He is so amazing and smart and I just love him to death!

Nate is as cute and entergetic as ever and I cant believe he will be 2 in less than 3 months! Where has the time gone?! He is such a joy in my life and I cant imagine life without him! He is smart just like his dad! He talks quite a bit now and it is so fun! He is starting to say short phrases and its so cute! His newest is "have good day dad" He absolutely loves cars and balls! He got a little tackling inflatable punching bag type thing and he loves playing with that too! We say "READY" and he crouches down and then we say "HUT HUT" and he runs at it and tackles it to the ground! Its the cutest thing ever! We video taped it and I will have to post that too! He also is in a stage where he has to have every ball and teddy bear he owns in his crib with him we he goes to bed! Its so funny! He hardly has any room to sleep, but somehow he manages to squeeze in the middle of all of them so he is outlined by all his toys!

Sorry this post is so long and doesnt include any pictures! Hopefully I will have a new computer soon and can start blogging again on a regular basis!
