Where have we been?

So, I will be honest. I went two whole months (maybe closer to three) without taking any pictures of my child. Mom of the year award, right?

I have an excuse though. We have been extremely busy MOVING!

We put our old house on the market right after Christmas and it sold at the beginning of February! We really wanted a one story house with a big backyard for the boys and the dogs. So we found a home about fifteen minutes away from our old one and bought it.

I would post pictures. However, there are some crazy people out there! :)

We moved in mid-March and are finally settled in and life is functionable again!! We love the new house and feel so much more comfortable. Even the dogs are in heaven!

Now, we are just waiting on Baby Jackson to arrive. My due date is in less than a week so it could be any day now!!! I will post pictures of his nursery soon.

So I apologize for neglecting the blog for so long. I am back on track of taking pictures of our child again and will try my best to post them more often.

Anyways, since I can't have a post without pictures, with the move, Ronan became pretty obsessed with tools. Here are some pictures of him working with Ryan to set up his new play scape from Pops and Nana in the backyard.

He is pretty serious about being a worker man and about his tools. He did not want me to take his pictures because he was "busy working." We even have to take our tools in the car everywhere we go these days. Handy Manny is his new favorite show.

Christmas with Our Families

After having a small Christmas morning at our house, we packed up and headed to Waco to spend Christmas with both of our families.

We had a great time! Here are some pictures:

Nana reading the Christmas story to Ronan.

Yes, my husband asked for a tourniquet for Christmas. :)

Opening presents at Pops and Nana's house!

Blaster Rifle!

Then, we headed over to Grandpa and Mimi's house. Mimi holding baby Ava on her first Christmas.

Riding around on his new scooter. Got to wear that helmet!

Having cookies with Hunter. These boys have so much fun together!

Christmas 2011

Ronan had a wonderful Christmas! Ronan was really into Santa Claus this year. Santa brought him a blue Power Wheels Jeep. He was quite excited! Here are some pictures from our Christmas:

So excited on Christmas Eve!

Cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer

Or carrots for Santa?

Trying to sneak some

Santa came!

Checking out what Santa brought.

Every man has to check out the engine.

Christmas Program Video

Here is the video of Ronan's Christmas program. Notice he keeps looking up at the stage. After the program, he kept talking about how next year he is going to stand on the stage.

Make a video - it's fun, easy and free!

Visiting Santa Claus

Ronan got to visit Santa Claus at the mall this year. He was so excited about going to talk to Santa and was very patient and waited in line for thirty minutes. When his turn finally came, he froze up and would not smile or talk to Santa. However, when we left, he kept talking about how he told Santa he wanted a blue jeep. Maybe he slipped him a note or something because their was no communication going on.

Christmas Program

Ronan started a Mother's Day Out program this fall. Before Christmas, they had a Christmas program. I was worried if Ronan would actually stand up there during the program or if he would see us and run, but he did a really great job! He stayed up there the whole time and even sang and danced a little (and even picked his nose.)

I have a video. I will post it next. Here are some pictures:

He got to wear sheep ears and they gave him a bell to shake.

They passed out glow sticks to be the candles for singing "Silent Night." Probably best with a bunch of toddlers. :)

Family picture...somebody was more interested in his glow stick. :)

A LOT of catching up...

Scroll down to read SEVERAL catch up posts. Sorry for the lack of updates. As you can see, we are expecting baby number two!! So basically ever since I became pregnant in August, I have been a little too exhausted to update the blog. My goal is to catch up with 2011 posts and then start new in 2012!
