Happy New Year

Happy New Year, I hope every one had a merry Christmas too. We had three Christmas, one with my family who came down to see us, one with just Brian, Me, and Joseph, and than we went to Brian's families house for our last Christmas. Joseph did so good he has started to crawl every where and pull himself up so I didn't think he would sit still but you gave him ribbon and he would just sit there. Joseph only wanted to unwrapped every one else presents but his own. But all in all it was a great first Christmas and I can not wait till next year when he really gets in to it.

So Brian is home he has been here for about two weeks and we are loving having him home. Joseph and him are still getting use to each other, it's funny I thought that is was going to be an easier transition but I have come to realize that though mommies have a baby sense daddies don't always get their right away. But we are working on it and Joseph is slowly but surely allowing Brian to do things for him.

Just thought this was a super cute picture

This last weekend we went up to visit Brian's family for his dads 60th birthday, and we had so much fun. Joseph wore a sailor outfit in honor of his papa being in the navy and every one just loved him and wanted to hold him. I had fun going through Brian's baby pictures oh man I am going to have to admit it Joseph looks just like Brian when he was little I am so sad I really wanted him to look like me and only me, oh well. Joseph enjoyed his auntie and cousins and his uncle Bryan finally got to hold him last time we were there Bryan was sick so he had to stay far away, it was funny to see Caryn and Bryan fight over who Joseph liked the most, I am going to have to go with Caryn since she held him the most. (baby hog) I also got to enjoy a trip to Barns and nobles where I could stay all day and night, it was just Caryn, me, and Joseph almost no kids and we got some Starbucks coffee we were floating on cloud nine. This last weekend was a lot of fun and it showed me that Joseph is the biggest flirt ever. Oh and Brian will be home in about two weeks and I am just so excited I am cleaning the house every day just in case he comes home early and I already have both our outfits picked out to go and pick him up at the air port I am so excited.

We made it, the trip took us four day, three meltdowns, and 11 new family member, but we made it on time to get our house and settle in to it. Joseph was so well behave for the most part in the car he had a couple melt downs but he did so much better than I thought he was going to do. Jerry did great he behave the whole time he loved it at my grandpa John's house all that land to run around on and the sheep to bark at, and than he liked his grandma and grandpa's house with another dog he was in heave even if the other dog didn't really like him he didn't care. I am loving my house and how well it is coming together already, I have a only a couple of boxes left and I am shocked that I forgot just how much stuff we had store and how now we have like a double of everything. Joseph is loving having his own room and yes he has been sleeping in it for the most part. We started off so good in the new house than a couple of days ago Joseph started having a green and yellow nose drip and so I had to take him to the doctor which it turns out is the same ped's doctor that was at the hospital the night Abigail past away and worked tirelessly on her. It is a small world but she had some bad news for me again Joseph had his first ear infection in his right ear it wasn't too bad we had caught it early and he should be better in three days. All I could think was uh new house, I'm by myself, I have so many errands to run and now I think those millions of thing I needed to do has now become one thing get Joseph better so I can walk out of a room with out him and him not cry. So we had a rough night the first night and now we are getting better and I can walk out of a room for a good minute which is like heaven to me right now. Oh and on a happy note Brian has 18 more day till he get to come home and let me tell you we are all looking forward to that day (there are alot of spiders in the house and I do not do spiders)

MOVING DAY

Moving day is here and I am so nerves but excited at the same time, today I move out of my apartment and tomorrow me, my dad, Joseph, and Jerry dog start our long drive down to CA. We will stop in Oregon for Friday night at my grandpa's house and than on Saturday drive down to Sacramento were Brian's parents will meet us and my dad will hop on a plane. From there we will stay for a night in Modesto and drive down to Lompoc on Sunday and than on Monday I get my house. Writing it down right now makes it seem like Monday will never come but I am going to take it day by day. I am not worried about Jerry he was great on the way up here, but I am a little worried about Joseph he is starting to tolerate the car better, he really only has a problem if he is hungry. I it's a little disappointing that this is my four time moving and each time Brian has not been able to help (lucky man) I hate to move and I hate to drive so I am probably going to be crabby, but on the bright side for this move I have decided to go off my diet so I will be eating "comfort" food so maybe I wont be so crabby.

My brother came over to help load up the truck this morning and Joseph wasn't up yet so Tyler decide he need to go back to bed till Joseph was ready to get up

This is Joseph laughing I tried to get his face but it was really hard to make him laughing and video tape him
