Blue Angels

A few weeks ago my dad and Becky took us to see the Blue Angels show. (thanks again, we had so much fun). Taegen was in awe of all the planes. It was the perfect event for him. Nana told him that the smoke from the planes was them "pooping" So during the rest of the show he was yelling "poop poop!" It was pretty funny. He even says it now any time he sees a plane on tv or in real life. (Thanks for that Becky :) ). Ever since the show Taegen has been completely obsessed with airplanes and helicopters. We found a blue angels documentary on netflix that he watches about once a day. 

he was so fascinated with the planes he wouldn't even look at me.

 His face says it all!

 I promise he was happy, he was just squinting from the sun.

 my dad took the plastic screen off his phone and put it over Taegens mouth and he thought it was hilarious. He was walking all over with it on. 

 Taegs was sitting in the chair and was playing peek a boo with me.

This isn't the best video but oh well. 

I hate wells fargo!

Seriously...I HATE them! 

Last month I went in and paid off a loan Jon had with them. 

We just got a message saying our payment is late.

Once they finally figured out why we "owed" anything, their answer was this...

"From the time you were quoted the payoff amount and the time you paid the balance off,

the interest accrued". This is the biggest pile of crap

I've heard in a long time!

The teller that was helping me verified MULTIPLE times that I had the correct payoff.

So please explain to me how I got the wrong pay off amount when their own employee verified the amount

for me before actually paying it off!!!!

I used to work at a financial institution, I'm not an idiot when it comes to stuff like this. 

I really can't even say one good thing about them. 

I personally do not have an account with them and I NEVER will!

This is the last tie that Jon had with them and I can't even begin to explain how happy

I am to be rid of them! 

I suggest moving all of your services to another financial institution... preferably a credit union. 

I'm so furious its not even funny. The amount that we owe them is not even a lot of money, but it's the principal of it. I've never had as terrible of treatment as almost all of the times 

I've gone into a branch of theirs! I mean it when I say switch to another institution. 

I can guarantee you will be treated a 1000 times better!

Pregnancy this time around

I want to write down how this pregnancy has gone so far so I can revert back for next time :)

At 12 weeks:
- I can't eat anything with Garlic in it (this was the same as my last pregnancy)
- I'm not sleeping well. I have to drink 3 cups of sleepytime vanilla tea to help me sleep. If I don't I wake up almost every hour after 1 am.
- I haven't been way sick, but I have felt worse this pregnancy than with Taegen.
- I have the worst gag reflex. Every time I have to burp I gag until it comes up. I also gag really easily thinking about things that gross me out or smell bad. I don't normally throw up, although I have a couple of times.
- I can't eat first thing in the morning or it makes me sick all day.
- Thanks to the lack of sleep and an extremely active 2 year old, I'm exhausted ALL THE TIME!
- Capri Suns help calm my upset stomach

Now that I've been through labor I'm actually more nervous this time around. Granted my labor last time was back labor for 2 days long....hopefully it won't take that long this time. I told Jon that if it is really long and hard (like last time) we will be done having kids. I'm not doing that again.
This time I'm also using a doctor, Dr Worwood. I really like him so far. I wish I could use a midwife again this time, but financially it just wasn't possible. I am planning on laboring at home for as long as I feel comfortable before going to the hospital.
Because I'm so nervous about labor I haven't decided on whether or not I'm going all natural. I want to of course, but I know I can't go through the "hell on earth" that was my last labor again. I've kind of told myself that if I have hard labor for longer than 10 hours that I'll get an epidural. But I'm still not 100% sure about that. I feel like I can't make a decision until I'm in it to see how long its going to be. But then I also feel like if I wait until then that I have a higher chance of caving in and getting the epidural. I don't want to go into labor being undecided about anything, I just feel like I can't make a decision as of yet. Ugh, its an ugly circle right now. Any advice?
When we ask Taegen if the baby is a brother/sister or boy/girl, his answer is always the last thing I ask. So if I say brother/sister, he says sister. If I say girl or boy, he'll say it's a boy. haha.... so he's no help. We kind of think its a girl, but at the same time, I think that because we think it's a girl, that it's going to be a boy. So really, I have no idea. I'm having a hard time picturing us having a girl, but that's only because we don't have one. I want a girl...the clothes are just so much cuter :). But honestly, I would be ok with another boy. We already have everything for a boy, and I think Taegen would do better with a little brother than a little sister. Either way, I think he'll do great with the baby. Although I think he's gonna have issues with not being the only one getting my attention. He's a major mommas boy, so it's going to be a major eye opener for him.

Coming Sept 2012

We're so excited!!

Chicken Nuggets

I know its not the best picture, but I think it's hilarious! This is how T eats his nuggets. He normally eats one full one first, then picks at the rest of them. He may finish 1 full other one, but mostly its just small bites out of each of them....He's such a goober. Gotta love him :)

Time out

I've been an major slacker when it comes to updating my blog. I feel like a lot has happened since my last post.

The sealing was AMAZING! Thank you to all of you who came to support us. It was one of the best days of my life. It was actually kind of funny, the sealer almost forgot about Taegen. He sent a temple worker out to go get him, but I had to remind him that we weren't done and that we still needed to bring Taegen in. haha. It gave us all a good little chuckle.

The first week of February we moved into our own place in Hurricane. I can't tell you how nice it is to have our own space. We are so appreciative of Jon's parents for letting us live with them, don't get me wrong. But after a while, it's hard not to have your own space (for everyone involved).

I'm still in the process of unpacking (yes, a month later I'm still tugging away at it. I know I know, lazy) But I'm just about done. This is Taegen underneath the bathroom counter. He quickly found this spot and likes to climb under there every time I'm getting ready.

One of the reasons it's taking me so long to unpack is because we got sick. And if you know my son at all, you know that this picture below is almost NEVER seen. He obviously didn't feel good. He was just laying there watching some tv. It literally broke my heart to see him like this.

A little later I caught him laying on a pillow on the floor...ASLEEP!! It didn't last long so when he heard me walking around him to get the camera he woke up, so I didn't get a picture of that time.

One weekend we were at a park with Steph, her kids, and jon's family. James went to get Taegen who had ran off and when they came back this is what we saw. Taegen tied up and on a leash of Caution Tape.Taegs actually loved it. He was laughing and having a good ole time. He's so funny.

Speaking of funny, seriously my son is a hoot. I've never actually put him in time out. He's sat on my lap away from everyone as punishment, but never had his nose in a corner or anything. Now, any time I warn him not to do something (kick, hit, throw things, etc) he looks at me and says "time out?" Then runs over to the wall and does this.

then when he thinks he's done, he comes up to me and says "hug" and "sorry". Almost every time he does this he hasn't actually done anything wrong. haha. 

Other random things T does now:

-he tells me when he's ready for nap/bedtime by saying "binky"

-he LOVES bread. He would eat a whole loaf in one day if I'd let him. But he has to have it toasted with butter.

-He doesn't like not having clothes on, but he loves being naked. Let me explain, if he's wearing a diaper he wants to have clothes on too. But if i haven't put a diaper on him yet, he'll try to run around completely naked  and fights me on putting on the diaper. 

-since the night we moved into this house, he's slept through the night. (this is a big deal, since he was waking up multiple times a night when we lived with Jon's parents).

-he loves bath time

-still very much a momma's boy.

-he's very polite and says please, thank you and now also you're welcome.

-loves pizza

-he's a rather picky eater. Unless it's something he knows he likes, he won't eat it.

-his vocabulary is growing so fast. Every day I hear him say a word I didn't know he knew.

-he's in the 63% for height and 41% for weight...tall and skinny just like his dad :)

-he plays "night night" with us and actually fake snores

-when he says the word button it comes out sounding like bunny. Making it very hard sometimes to 

decide if he's actually talking about a bunny or a button.
