Don't be mad...

I'm giving advanced warning this time that we are going out of town and I will most likely NOT be blogging for a week. Just thought I'd let you all know since last time got a little out of control, heehee.

Oh Boy, Oh Boy!!!

It's true... we had our ultrasound today and we're having a little boy! Crazy business! I have to say I was a little shocked just because I am so used to being in the girl realm, but we are very excited and can't wait for the little tyke to show up! Woohoo!!

Enough is Enough!

Okay, I'm sorry to all of those who are fed up with my lack of attention to my blog, but I'm finally feeling recharged after my little break. So here's what's been going on with us:

Paige has moved from fear to obsession with bubble baths.

She has also mastered the "cheesy" smile.

And I finally managed to get her hair into a top sprout.

Our grass seed finally grew in and we got to mow our backyard for the first time!!

Yup, we landscaped the whole thing all by ourselves,

with major help from Patrick's brother Kevin - the sprinkler expert!

Not to brag, but I hand layed the brick all by myself, thank you very much.

And Paige was quite the trooper.

My beautiful sister Bridget got engaged to our fabulous next door neighbor Alex Peterson! They are so cute together and are getting married in February - hooray!
We spent the Christmas holiday in Utah with Patrick's family and had a blast!

Paige loved every minute of Christmas!

And thanks to Grandma Forbis and Aunt Pam for

making those jammies just for Paige - so fun!

So that's us in a nutshell for the past while. Thanks for giving me another chance all you dilligent bloggers out there... hopefully this time I'll keep up!
