My dryer is fixed!!! whoohoooo. well it never didnt work it was just sooo loud!!! so loud in fact that i would have to leave the house in order to dry a load of clothes. so loud that i got nautious listening to it and the dog hid. so i have barely been doing laundry, just the stuff we really really need for the next day all in one load. yikes. i never thought i would be so happy to do laundry!! lol the dryer has been loud ever since i started using it but lately it got sooo bad, it is going to be wierd with a quiet dryer in the background, i can do laundry whenever i want, i can still watch tv and do laundry, be on the computer while doing laundry... lol
its the little things in life u take forgranted lol

Usually nick and i go to a movie for date night every week..... every friday..... i really really really didnt want to go to a movie this week so i talked him in to taking me out to a sushi resturant!!! I've been really hungry for sushi lately which is wierd because i have had sushi maybe like 3 times in my whole life and never went to a resturant before for just sushi.

but we found this awesome sushi bar in east lansing, its right off hagadorn its called something like Sansu sushi and cocktails or something but it was amazingly hip. Then we went putputting!!! It was so great to spend time like that with nick, we dont do goofy fun stuff like that together near enough. where we can joke around have a healthy competition and frolick from hole to hole together. so i had a blast!Then Saturday i took Wil to our favorite place ever the kid city at the mall, he really loves that place it is just perfect for him and since he is still sorta new to walking when he crashes its nice and soft :)

but the really big part of the weekend (prolly the reason i was hungry for sushi) came saturday morning when i went out to the store and bought these

Thats right, positively prego!! holy crap........ Timing is a couple months off cuz i wanted wil and this one to be 2 years apart... close but not quite....

i think im in denial still, which prolly explains why even after the first positive test i took 2 more.

we thought it would take a lot longer to get pregnant since it took almost a year the first time but nope not this time, 2 months later and here we go again. aahhhh im freakin out but totally excited, nervous and anxious, i know most people wait a little bit to make this public announcment but i have never been good at keeping secrets like this, at all lol. i figure the due date will be around the end of feb or early march. holy cow

my camera sucks!!!! i spent a whole week at my mom's and got no pictures!!!!! gggrrrrrrrr

Took me almost a month to get his 1year pictures taken but i finally got some, i kept holding out hoping we would have some extra money to get a new camera, but i had to just go take em before he got too old :)

Happy Mother's Day!!!!

Happy Mom's day to my best friend!! Thanks for all you do for me, and putting up with my 12 phone calls a day! i love ya mom :)

Wil's Bday!

This is a little late, i havent really been posting much lately. but Wil had a great bday! very casual on the actual day, we just hung out at home had some cupcakes, open presents. Wil's babysitter Kelly came over and gave him his present from her that evening which was really nice, she is wonderful :)

This is the super sweet car ramp that my mom and dad sent to him, he loves it! just the right size and the cars are nice and chunky for his fat little fingers

I didnt make a cake, just cupcakes, Nick and i didnt need an entire cake sitting around for just us lol.

he didnt really dig into it, we had to make him, he had a huge dinner of little ceasars pizza and was not hungry at all :)

His Uncle Todd in Wisconsin sent him an awesomely cute outfit! thanks todd!!!


This is the super sweet present from grandma annie. she has a good friend in her ward in howell who is the most amazing artist. annie asked me a while ago if she could have a toy box painted for wil for his room and asked what i would want on it. well i picked up this cute bedroom set from babies-r-us when wil was little so i gave her a blanket from the set and that is what she painted, it is so beautiful! it wraps all the way around and matches his room so perfectly! she is an absolutaly amazing artist. amazing!! i have it sitting in the living room right now so that i can enjoy it too :)


Saturday we had a family party at Nick's parents, his sister and her family were there, my aunt sandi and uncle steve came, amy my cousin came later and ashley my brother's girlfriend all came, it was really nice to have everyone there. he got a lot of really cool presents from his cousins. he is lucky to have such great family who spoil the heck outta him

Dead Camera

My camera battery died this week and i bought a new one but it was the wrong one. so anyways thats why there hasnt been a post for a while but i thought i would write this one with no wil pictures till later!
Hes Walking!!!! yeay!!! what a big week he has had, his 1st birthday is this wednesday. He got another huge front tooth, he walks from couch to the tv to me, still crawls alot tho, aaaaand he is now totally off formula!!! so exciting and down to 2 bottles a day, one before nap and one before bed. He clearly says "uhoh" "mama" "dada" I ask him where my nose is and he can point to it, not so much his yet, but he knows where my nose is and where my ears are. He finally started clapping, along which came peekaboo, and blowing kisses. he colors great pictures, got em all over my house, plays with sidewalk chalk outside lol, thats more messy than anything tho haha, and he started trying to blow bubbles, he blows air, sort of toward the bubble wand, lol. theres alot for me to get on video but he has to be in just the right mood. i got alotta pictures to take:)
