Catching up on my crazy life!!!!

Normally I would start off a blog like this by apologizing that I haven't posted in a long time and blah blah blah, but I'm not going to do that because this is my blog and my life is really busy and I don't have a lot of time to post between work, school, Jace, Ben, and life in general. So....in the spirit of that, I'm going to do a quick catch up and hopefully do a little better about staying on top of things! NO promises though :)

Okay here goes! Thanksgiving came and went pretty uneventfully! We ate, we napped, we visited, I worked, the boys ate some more and went to bed! Oh I also went to see "the fat doctor" to help me start loosing weight the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and have since lost 14 lbs at last count (but that is a story for another time!).

In December Aaron and his wife Ryan came down and stayed for about 3 weeks! It was good catching up with family. Jace's first Christmas was pretty cool. He had a good time opening presents and playing with the paper. Santa brought him a personalized toy box to put all of his goodies in! Santa did an awesome job and I'm sure Jace will enjoy if for years to come! Jace also decided to start crawling like a big boy and sitting himself up on Christmas! It was pretty cool, but also a little overwhelming. Seeing your baby gain 2 big skills in one day is a little nuts!

A few days later he started pulling himself up on everything and cruising around anything stationary in the house! January brought us the beginning of my last semester in school! Thank Buddha I graduate in May! It also brought us a fun vacation to McCall with friends from work to take part in the Winter Carnival! This is our second year doing it! We all rent a cabin and split meals and go into town to look at ice sculptures the people of McCall make. There are fireworks and a parade and lots of fun things to see and do. I'm definitely looking forward to next year!

Oh and while we were in McCall Jace took his first unassisted steps. He is now standing alone for longer periods of time but still only taking a couple steps at a time. It is crazy to think my baby is almost not a baby anymore! Instead he is almost a toddler!

This month I'm looking forward to start my training as a charge nurse, Valentine's Day (because I really am a sucker for Romance), and my 27th Birthday! Oh and of course posting to my blog more!
