Ok.. ok... let me just start over

Hello all!

For some reason, I could not figure out how to work my old blog, so I just started another one. Spread the news, my account is now christaandjason instead of jasonandchrista. My name should be first anyways! :)

So, here's an update...
Caden is WONDERFUL. He was 7 weeks yesterday and is growing like a weed. He still has a full head of red hair and that wonderful dimple in his left cheek. He's holding his head up more everyday and has the cutest expressions. Sometimes I think he totally knows what I'm saying, because he gives me these "Oh come on Mom, you have got to be kidding me" looks. They just make me laugh!

Bailey is so fun! She's 13 months and is such a hoot. She's learned peek-a-boo and how to clap when others clap. She's really starting to pick up on the stuff we do and trying to do it herself. If Caden is in his carseat and crying, she'll crawl over and try to rock him. It's the cutest thing ever! She's not quite walking yet, but she's getting really close. I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to that or not...

Jason is doing great at work and he's loving his new role as father of two. He's so proud of little Caden and parades him around like any proud papa. It's so fun to watch.

I'm doing well with my new role as SuperMom. There's not other way to stay home with 2 kids that are 363 days apart without being super! We're getting ready for Christmas, which should be so much fun now that Bailey has mastered the art of tearing paper. We'll have Christmas with the Clarks this year, which is always fun.

The house is all decorated thanks to Emily, Andrew and Andrew's girl, Kelsey. It's so nice to have a house for Christmas, I can put holes in the walls and not worry about a million charges! :)

Well, guess that's it for now. The kids are both down for a nap (it's a miracle!) so I'm going to try and grab a nap. Jason and I have a Christmas party at his work tonight, so I'm going to attempt to look like a woman opposed to the vomit covered zombie I've been the last couple weeks.

Love you all!

What Fun!

Life has been busy, crazy but oh, so FUN! In the past week, I've gotten to go to the Bahamas with my friend and I got to spend 24 hours with my dad who was in town for a 50th anniversary celebration. Both adventures were so incredible and made me remember that even though I'm hot, pregnant and cranky, at times, I am so amazingly blessed. I met my best friend, Sarah, in 1991. I was in 1st grade and she was in 2nd. We met at church and have been buds ever since. We got to celebrate our 20th anniversary with a 5 day trip to the Bahamas where we were on a resort and got to relax. We left our husbands and kids behind for a few days resting and enjoying each others company. It was so incredible! This is the view we saw for 4 days, lying on the beach, reading and relaxing. It was so incredible and such a blessing that we were able to go. We got to go sailing, snorkeling and relax by the beach. Sarah even got to do the trapeze. I didn't, due to the baby in my womb (and because I...

My Extreme Makeover Home Edition

Image
So, as many of you know, we bought a house in May of 2008 that was quite a fixer-upper. It was a foreclosure that had been empty for 2 years! We have spent the last 8 months scrubbing, painting and getting the inside just the way we want it. We have bold colors on the walls, family pictures everywhere, new wood floors down and pretty lighting fixtures that really lighten up the place. But, the thorn in my side has been the outside. Due to the fact that it was empty for so long, the trim went from hunter green, to hideous turquoise. The main color used to be a yellowish cream and now looks more like a very light pink. (yick!) Well, all that changed this weekend when my wonderful in-laws came over and helped us paint. The BEFORE: (boo!) The AFTER: (hooray!) Thank you so, so much to the Clarks and to Jason for working so hard to make our house look so wonderful. It truly feels like our home now.

Sushi Night 2012

Image
 This Christmas we made sushi with my family in Montana. I made one semi-successful roll and really loved it! I thought that sushi was exclusively in the seafood category, so I never really tried it, but I learned that you can put chicken and beef in sushi, so we have started trying new things and decided to have a sushi party. We bought a sushi rolling kit at Target and bought out the Asian food aisle at Reasor's. Then it was time to clean. As most of you know, my children are incredible. They are well behaved, they are brilliant and lately, they've become extremely helpful! I gave them each jobs and they did great! Caden helped load the dishwasher, vacuum the living room carpet and wipe down the tables. Bailey cleaned the front bathroom and swept the floors. While they didn't do a perfect job, they were so cute and both just wanted to help. It was awesome.   Finally it was time for the party. We had 2 couples over from church with their kids and then a couple fro...
