Easton is ONE!!!!!

I can't believe Easton is one! He is my little buddy, I LOVE him so much! We had such a good day, Aislee picked out some balloons for him, 3, purple, blue, and light blue! And Grandma and Grandpa and Great Grandma Jody and Aunt JuJu and Aunt Jade and Aunt Jill sent him presents. Everyone called to wish him Happy Birthday, and Mommy even made him his favorite foods for lunch: Meatballs and Muffins!!!
He ate 9 meatballs, and 3 cranberry/orange mini muffins! What a little chunker, he eats so much. WAY more than Aisers! I had to call my mom the other day and ask if it was okay to give him a WHOLE can of pears because he just kept eating and wanting more. (In addition to everything else he was eating) I was afraid I was over-feeding him.....but you can't overfeed babies, they eat until they are full, so I just keep going till he stops!

Anyways! Happy Birthday Buddy, we love you so much, and are so glad you are apart of our family!!!!!

Tea Party and the Fort

Last weekend Brian and Aislee built a fort in our living room and had a tea party with water and applesauce. They were going to sleep in the fort too, but that didn't work out! I'm so glad I have such a cute husband! I remember my Dad always playing with me and my sisters when we were little, and I'm so thankful Brian can have fun with Ais too! I love memories of playing Boy Cheerleader with my Dad (he would be the boy cheerleader and throw us in the air and stuff) We thought it was the coolest thing!

Aislee's first day of Primary!

Aislee had her first day of Primary on Sunday! She was sooooo excited to be with the big kids. I can't believe she is a Sunbeam already! And thanks Grandpa for teaching her the Sunbeam song, she was so excited to sing it with all the other new sunbeams!
(Sorry about the "Britney Spears" shot of her Cinderella doll)

Oh My Freaking Heck

Okay, so, Brian and I saw this in theatres when it came out, but we just watched it again tonight because we got it for Christmas. I LOVE this movie. It is, I would say, 2nd on my list. (I think) So intense, and I mean it totally makes you want to meet a Autobot, and have a freaking cool car!!!! And seriously, the name, Optimus Prime....what a cool name, if I ever have a pet, I am going to name it Optimus Prime.....I CALL, NO ONE COPY. Called it first!!! You know when you leave a really cool movie, and you just have so much energy you want to do something after it's over, ......I don't know what, but that's how I feel right now. (Like Boxing, it makes me want to be a professional boxer, or a wakeboarder or something cool like that!) So I'm blogging, and it's 1 oclock here in the morning. AND, Transformers 2, I don't know, Michael Bay is really procrastinating here, maybe JUNE 29, 20099999....thats longer than I have to wait to read Book 4 of the Eclipse books.
YOU DEFINITELY HAVE TO WATCH. I mean there are some really cheesy parts, but it is so good. Funny too. The parents in it, oh man, I LOVE Sam's parents. They're so cute! And I love BumbleBee, I wish he was my car!
Okay, I'm done now!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
PS Do you think Megatron is still alive?
One more thing: IF you are a girl reading this, and you think TRANSFORMERS??? NO WAY. Seriously you'll like it. I totally didn't want to see it at first, because it's cars, and transformers, I had no idea they even existed, but Brian was telling me all about the comic books, and cartoons??? I think, I can't remember, I wasn't paying attention, but trust me, you'll like it!
Okay, that's all!!!

Another reason to come visit us!

Just opened up down the street from us!!!!!
If you've ever been here, you'll want to book a flight immediately, if you haven't --then, that's one page of the book of life, that you'll want to read--or eat!

My new handbag (I hate the word Purse)

So, a couple weekends ago, a few friends and I went into New York to do a little Christmas shopping in Chinatown. I wish I would've taken pictures of all the bags I bought, but I did take one of mine. I actually bought it for my birthday, but had Brian wrap it up and give it to me for Christmas too!

It's a Dolce and Gabbana-knock-off of course!
I love New York! And it's so fun being so close. We've discovered a secret way to get in, so it doesn't cost a hundred dollars to park, and 5 hours of traffic getting through the Holland or Lincoln Tunnels. We park in Jersey City and there's a subway that takes you right onto 34th street. Except for this time, we took the subway from Jersey to the WTC, and it was so neat, because the subway actually comes above ground and drives really slow through ground zero so you can see everything.

Then we went and saw the Rockefeller Center tree and had lunch in a little Cucina there, right by the ice skating rink.
We left at 8 and got home at about 3 or 4! Perfect little half day trip!

My new favorite tradition!

Last night I started a new tradition with Aislee that I want to continue forever! I thought that maybe it would be fun to have her pick out a present for Easton and her Daddy and wrap it and put it under the tree. To teach her that Christmas is not just about receiving, but also that it's fun to give! So, we went to our favorite store: Target! She picked out the gifts all by herself. I want so bad to write what she picked out, but Brian would find out! I loved it too, because never once did she think about getting something for herself, she was so consumed with finding the right gift for her Dad and brother! Then, after shopping, we went to the little cafe inside Target and got popcorn and a drink! We had so much fun! I can't wait to do this again next year with her, and when Easton is old enough, it will be fun to take him too! Our own little Christmas date nights!

Up the Stairs We Go!

Easton found the stairs~and he LOVES going up them! Of course, Aislee showed him exactly how to do it, and was there every step of the way!

Allergic to Milk

You wouldn't think when you look at this little buddy that he is allergic to milk, but I'm afraid he is. It all started when around 9 months old, I tried introducing yogurt into his diet; he immediatly threw it up. When I talked to the doctor he thought it was a texture thing, then off and on I would try giving him something else dairy, and sometimes he was okay with it, and other times, throw it up. But recently Brian gave him a bite of his cereal, and with a little milk, he threw up and started wheezing. OH NO. So, I called the doctor again, and he thinks the worst: allergic. We need to keep him away from dairy until his next well visit. I hope he can grow out of it. I would love to hear from other moms who have gone through this, I mean.....what am I supposed to do? Milk is a huge part of our diets, and especially in little babies.

HAPPY DAY!

The blanky has been found!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brian got a call from the doctor, and he went and picked it up and surprised Aislee! We are so excited. To be honest, I really didn't care much for the blanky before this whole incident, but now, I love it almost as much as Ais does!
And we even took the new blanky back to Target, just like Aislee wanted to do. (which is unlike her to want to take anything back, she's a shopper just like her mommy)
Thanks everyone for the prayers! And blanky--you can stick around now for as long as you'd like!
