Pictures of our House

Haven't updated in a while, so...

*We ended up buying a house. We closed on May 8th!! It's nice to be living in our own house.

*On May 16 I found out I'm pregnant. We are really excited. The baby will be due right around Holden's 2nd Birthday.

*On May 24th something really bad happened. In the early hours of that morning our 2 dogs managed to get out of the fence. The next day I found out that Toby (my 2 year old) was hit by a car. We found Chandler at the pound a few days later. We are completely devastated. Toby was our first dog together and we loved him very very much.

Well I guess that's about all. I better go. Holden is done with his lunch.

An Update.

Here's some new stuff that is going on:

*I no longer work at Convergys.

*We got a new car. It's a Jetta. (I'll show a picture on another post.)

*Holden walks everywhere now. He's sooooooo active.

*Holden got his first ear infection. Though it's only a "minor ear infection".

*Matt starts his new job on Monday.

*He's still going to work at UMC on the weekends...just until they can train someone. Which he found out from his boss that even though he'll only be working 2 days a week they have to show that he's working full time or they would have to hire someone right now....so he's going to use pto to cover the extra hours. Which is awesome because that means he'll be getting a full week's paycheck from UMC and his new job! Wahoo!

*We were thinking about purchasing a house, but we've decided to wait a little longer. We want to have a down payment saved up plus if we wait a little longer I will have more of a credit history. By then my credit card and the cars will be showing. So we're waiting.

Holden meets the Easter Bunny!

I was surprised because I thought he would cry, but he was just intrigued.

Happy Easter!

I know it's early, but oh well.

Matt got the job!

Friday he got a call from the man he interviewed with and he got the job!! Yay! We are so excited.

We've got a walker!!

Holden started walking March 7th. We were at Angie's having a barbeque. I guess with all the other kids walking around, Holden decided he wanted in on the action. Here's some video that we caught a couple days later.

Me and Holden have the flu..:-(

I started getting sick on Valentine's Day. By the next day, I was feeling miserable. I was hoping Holden would be spared, but he started getting sick the night before last. He woke up constantly through out the night coughing. Poor Baby. I stayed home with him on Friday. Right now he's sleeping. He's pretty much slept all day. Hopefully we'll both start feeling better soon.

Just an update.

It's been a while since I've updated. I haven't had a lot of time because I just started back to work. I'm a customer rep. for Comcast High Speed Internet. Holden has been going to daycare 2 times a week. He seems to like it pretty well. He's in the baby room for now until he starts walking...then they will graduate him to the toddler room. He just turned 13 months and is still not walking! I'm not too worried though because I've read that if a baby is a good crawler, sometimes they will start to walk later in life. Holden crawls really well. He also cruises a lot. Sometimes he'll hold onto the walls just to get to place to place. Right now he's sleeping. I was supposed to be off today, but they offered me overtime so I took it. Since the daycare was closed, my mom watched Holdie. He didn't sleep very well at her house, so he was exhausted by the time we got home. Well, I better go. I'm about to start dinner. I'm hungry.

Beautiful boy

Holden is One!!!

Holden's birthday was on Friday. We had a small party. Poor Holden get a big ol' bruise on his head first thing in the morning. He rammed his head on the bed. He was teething and sick too. Not a great way to start a birthday, but it all turned out good. He was great during the party.

Holden's First Christmas!

I wish Matt would of been off, but all and all we had a great day. Holden got soooo many toys. He's a spoiled little boy. LOL. It was a very nice day. Here are some pictures I took:

Our Professional Pictures.

We FINALLY got some pictures made!! I think they turned out pretty good. Holden was tired, but he was really good.

Oh Christmas tree Oh Christmas tree.....

...How lovely are your branches.... We decorated our tree today. We got some ornaments at Walmart and at Target. I can honestly say it is the most beautiful tree I have ever had. I love it! Holden is now a lot more interested in the tree! He keeps trying to get the balls.

Turkey day.

We had a lot of fun. We went to Colorado. Holden loved the food. yum, yum.:-)

HO HO HO!

The latest fashion trend.

my baby is sick.

Yep. He has a runny nose. His nose is never runny unless he's getting sick. Hopefully it's nothing really bad. He goes next week to get the 2nd dose of his flu shot.

On another note: I might have a job, maybe.. UMC called me yesterday and set up an interview. Hopefully it goes well. The bad thing is if I get the job we can't go to Colorado for Thankgiving.:-( The woman who called me kind of gave me a mini-interview over the phone. She asked if I would be willing to work 4 hours on holidays. She said Thanksgiving is covered, but that would be just one day. I would have to work Wednesday and Friday...
