Happy Black Friday

Well another year is almost over. I can remember last Thanksgiving and how EXHUASTED I was (I actually slept on his Grandma Hansens couch last year and was kind of anti social - I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me but we all know now lol). I was surprised that our little guy did so good. I don't know why I'm so surprised. He doesn't hardly see Mom or Dad when we visit anyone b/c everyone else takes their turn lovin on him. I don't know of another kid that gets so much LOVIN! Buzz and I have been doing our P90X workouts (including the diet) and I'm down about 12 pounds now and Buzz is somewhere around 10 pounds down. The food is delicious and everything but OH MY GOSH!!! Yesterdays food was AMAZING!!! However, after not eating alot of heavy foods, carbs and sweets, for almost a month, I kindof got nauseous lol. But it was worth it. Daddy gave Hurley some gravy to try (we dipped his binky in gravy and let him suck on it). After a couple of trys I think he actually started to like it.
I also took Hurley to the Dr. for the 1st time Monday (besides his well child checks) because of some congestion that he's had for over 2 weeks. I just wanted to talk to my Dr to make sure I was doing everything I could for him to get him feeling better. I found out that I was doing everything (literally - from vicks to the humidifier to the nose drops) and we just had to wait it out (that made me feel good). Come to find out, it was a good thing that I took him b/c he was getting a little ear infection in his right ear. So he's been on antibiotics since monday. He was cute the first time I gave it to him. He looked at me like "what the heck is this?" But after a second or two, he sucked it right down. What was even funnier was giving it to him when it was cold out of the fridge. He knew the taste but I think the temperature change freaked him out a little lol. He's used to it now though.
Oh.... Buzz started work in Vernal this week - ugh! He left early Monday morning and came back Wednesday night. He goes back Monday will come back Friday and hopefully he only has to do it one more week after that. Hurley and I miss him SO much while he's gone, but he's a very good Husband and Father and does what he has to do to provide for us. I can't believe how luck I am to have such a wonderful man in my life! I hope our son grows up to be just like him!!!
Well today is Black Friday!!! Buzz and I have been doing black friday at Wal-Mart for the past 7 years now. It's about the only tradition that we've started and kept doing together. We even took Hurley! We went to Wal-Mart at 1:30 this morning and scoped out the hot items. We found what we wanted and waited. I bought a sling earlier this week THANK GOODNESS!!! Buzz wore it with Hurley sitting on his hip for about an hour. I was surprised he even stayed awake. It was the middle of the night, but he loves to spend time with his daddy. When he started to get tired Buzz brought him over to me and I laid him down in the sling. He snuggled right in and passed out for the rest of the night. Through the chaos and all lol. It was crazy cuz the item I wanted was a 500 thread count sheet set for $20. They brought the pallet of sheets out about 20minutes before 5 (when the sale started) and here I am standing there with my little boy in his sling, sleeping and cuddled up to his mom and I'm ready to jump in for my sheets lol. When the time came, I bent down to grab my sheets and some dumb lady behind me put her hand on my back and was kinda pushing me down to try and get to some. Thankfully I was able to keep my balance and get back up. One thing I learned today - It's amazing the things you can do one handed when your a mom. I kept one hand on Hurley and kept him safe and was able to grab 2 sheet sets with the other. Buzz and I talked mom into black friday last year and Gia and I talked her into it again this year. Tim and Gia are also on their 2nd year lol. It's the craziest dumbest thing to do, but we totally scored. It's so worth it!!! So all in all Tahna, Tim and Gia got their TV's they wanted, Mom got her sheet sets and some luggage, Buzz got his 8 GB mp3 player and I got my sheets. We also price matched about 15 DVD's (movies and TV seasons) and scored there as well! We LOVE black friday!!!
Well, I've blabbed enough. I hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving. I know we did. I have ALOT to be thankful for every year, but this year I am especially grateful to have a wonderful husband! I don't know of a better man out there. And of course for our baby boy!!! I couldn't imagine life with out him. He brings a smile to my face EVERYDAY!

Happy Thanksgiving

WOW!!!

***This post has been sitting in my edit box for days!!! I wanted to put a cute slide show to it and everything but haven't had the time so I'm just gonna post it***
So alot has happned since I last wrote. My baby has officially laughed! Buzz was makin dinner one night and Hurley started getting fussy on the couch so I picked him up and started playin with him. I would nibble on his neck and he thought that it was the funniest thing. Talk about a natural high! This little guy has brought so many smiles to so many people already - we are TRUELY blessed!!!
Other things that have happened? I've just had the best birthday of my life! My sister's took me to see New Kids on the Block last weekend. It was a HUGE surprise and I was clueless! Saturday buzz worked and called me on his way home and asked me if I wanted to go out. I thought, well yeah I guess. He said "good cuz I have movie passes to Jordon Commons and my mom said she'll watch Hurley. Get ready and pack the diaper bag. So i did. Around 5:00 I asked him if he was ready to go and he says "yeah I just gotta put another shirt on." Just then my doorbell rang and he yells "come in!" I'm thinking "who is he telling to come in?" So I open the door and there were my sisters. They took me to Johns truck and I got in and this "happy birthday" song by NKOTB came on and I thought NO WAY! But it was definitley "yes way lol. Come to find out everyone pitched in to buy me a ticket and Buzz took Hurley to SL to spend some time with his mom so I had no worries.
So HOLY CRAP!!! WE ARE GOING TO NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK!!! At the concert we thought that we had some pretty kick ass seats on row 33 and about half way through the concert we turned around and there was a round rotating stage that NKOTB popped up on 2 rows behind us!!!! AAAAHHHHHH! We went CRAZY!!! I had a really scratchy voice the 2 days before but the concert totally did me in. There was no voice by the time we left the E center and I still had no voice by Monday. But oh so worth it!!! So to my coolest sisters ever: I FREAKIN LOVE YOU-well and Danny Wood too lol!!! And thanks baby for taking care of our son. I was worry free which made it even better!

now or never

(i typed this up yesterday but my internet froze so here it is):
So I wanted to wait until I got pics from Tahna & Gia before I posted this blog but I know that if I don't do it now, I probably won't for another week or two :)

Well, Friday of course was Halloween and our little man was a "chish (fish)." He was a HUGE hit with all the neighbors and trick-or-treaters. We thought he was pretty cute. He fell asleep while I was holding him walking around showing him off. Aunt Abbie noticed and so I handed him to buzz to hold him so that I could get the pic. SO cute..... at least I thought so!

Sunday was a day I have been waiting SOOO long for! My baby boy was finally given his baby blessing by his daddy! As soon as they announced that it was time, I cried and cried and cried. Not from being sad, but because I was so overwhelmed with joy that I couldn't contain myself. We had ALOT of family and friends to share the day with us and I wish that there was a way to show them exactly how much it meant to us! Mom and I spent a good chunk of the day Saturday making his little Navajo traditiaonl outfit. It turned out better than I could have expected! Thanks to Gia for getting all of his "accessories!" It made the whole outfit complete.

Other things that happened this past week..... Hurley is still infactuated with his hands! He's also talking ALOT more! He loves his little toy that hangs down from his carseat - and I mean HE LOVES IT!!! He starts talking to it immediately after we put him in his seat and doesn't stop until he falls asleep. I could listen to him coo for days. He knows that he has a tounge now. He plays with it by sticking it out and trying to curl it. Hurley also had his first tear last night. A coworker of mine had her baby yesterday so we went to see her at the hospital. Hurley cried all the way home. I felt so bad cuz there was nothing I could do. The bink only helped for a few seconds here and there and by the time we got home I was so frazzled! He had never done that before and I didn't know what to do. Anyways, when I got him out of his seat I gave him a big hug and started talking to him. He calmed down in a second and he gave me a huge smile and then one little tear rolled out of his left eye :( He was a little fussy for the rest of the evening but we made it through - lol.

Well, it's late and this is probably getting boring - I ramble too much :)
