Lookie Lookie...Look at who we went visit! Yep Adam/Rachel. We love that their in California. How can you go wrong visiting california. The weather was gorgeous and we had a blast. Angela is getting so big. She's walking and is smiling all the time with her scrunched up nose:)

Takoda loved seeing his little cousin...or should i say the other way around. Angela was so cute with Takoda. Here is the process of them getting along...

Anglea loved giving him kisses:)

HAppY BIrthDay Kate! okay not really, but b/c Kate wasn't down here on her birthday, she asked Rachel to make her a cake. Didn't Rachel do an awesome job! She has taken classes and has done so well with each course, the cake was so delicious! p.s. Kate's birthday was in December...yeah 2 months later!

AWWW...

takoda & sadi

As you can see Takoda was very nervous holding his friend, Sadi's hand.

My good friend Mari came home to visit. I've known her since 1st grade and also roomed with her at BYU-I. She just moved to Washington, so poor me I won't be able to see her as much. Our babies were due 2 weeks apart, but she ended up being 2 weeks past her due date. So Takoda and Sadi are now a month apart. But it's so much fun having such a good friend with a baby around the same age.




As you can see our little one is growing up way to fast. The little guy weighs 16lbs now. He will be 3 mo. on the 19th. He is also in the 90 percentile in his height and 60 percentile with head size. He is smiling all the time and is such a good baby. He coo's all the time, which makes it so fun. He really doesn't cry unless he needs his sleep. Did anyone have the obsession of checking on their child 1000 times either during the day or night while he/she was sleeping? I really need to calm down:) The other day I was feeding him and I swear Takoda can talk sometimes...I was feeding him and he didn't want anymore milk so he yelled HELP ME!!! I looked over at my friend and she said did he just yell help me? crazy i know...also sometimes it sounds like he says MaaaaMmm... (mom). Did anyone else have a talking infant? haa haaa

We all new she would be eliminated, but........really are any of the girls right for Jason? You know who i did love?...Stephanie. Although she wasn't right for him either, she truly deserves someone who can handle all of her accessories..haa j/k but she does deserve someone special and she'll get him cause she's beautiful! K, so I'd like to see who you think Jason will pick? There is a poll on the top right hand of my page. So who will it be???? I'm saying Jillian, although i would like to see melissa, but i know jillian is older and tends to fit him a bit better. I guess we'll have to wait and see...

U grow some----and U lose some

Takoda has been losing his hair as you can see. But boy oh boy is he growing his mullet!

Loves to stretch out while sleeping

I was on the phone with my friend for about an hour an 1/2 one night. It was time to go to bed...so i came down stairs to get the boys and this is what i found:)

This is us watching one of our favorite shows this season..anyone want to guess?.....

american idol!!!!

our future RED SOX player! (Takoda..not Todd:)

So as some of you know Kate my sister has been living with us while she is on track break from school in Idaho. She has been a huge help and as you can see has become best buddies with our little one.

so the picture below will illustrate this next statment. So as you know babies spit up, but because kate has become best friends with Takoda he decides to share his appreciation by spitting up on her. Now I have told a couple of people about this and they just laugh and say ohhh poor kate. But it's not until they witness it for themselves that they truly see what we mean. Seriously after I'm done feeding him I'll hold him for a good while or we'll put him down...but it's not until kate gets him that he decides to do the duty! So the other day he had already spit up 2 times on her...and when it was the 3rd time I just had to grab the camera instead of a wash cloth:) LOl!!!

Huh? You're going Private... yep...you all have uhhh... about a week to send me your emails so i can grant you access:) Some of you I know look but don't have a blog...no worries I can still add you. Oh and dont' be shy if you look and want to continue looking...just leave your e-mail address on the comments link, k hope to hear from you guys soon... thanks guys.

Why Utah/Idaho you ask?...

Todd was given time off after the holidays for paternal leave:) So although we were suppose to stay home and relax with Takoda we decided to go to utah and idaho. I was not sure about the idea at first, since i barley make it to grandpa/ma walker's house only 30 min. away..but I knew he needed to see his great grandparents. Todd says, "and while we're there..lets go to Idaho". I definitely wasn't too up for it since it is the dead of winter and another 3-4 hours and Takoda's first trip. But we did want to see the growth of little 'ol rexburg and our friends, so off we went on our adventure. Luckily Kate came along and definitely helped out with Takoda. I knew but didn't at the same time how difficult it is traveling with a little one, for the past 4 years todd and i have only had to worry about ourselves. I thought i might have packed too much for takoda but seriously used pretty much all of what i packed for him. Every night we spent the night somewhere different..it was exhausting to pack and unpack but so much fun and worth it. Rexburg has grown sooo much...honestly i think i prefer how it was when we were there, but so good for the small little town i guess:) All in all we had a great trip and so glad we were able to visit everyone! I guess I had to travel sooner or later with him and now that we conqured it i'm ready for our next trip:)

The fun never ends...

Takoda had his blessing this past weekend. We were so grateful to have so much family come and support us~the Bliss' came from CT, Brandon from Chicago, Clint & Jennelle from Chicago and Adam & Rachel from Cali...We've had so much dosage of family fun throughout the holiday's it's only been a day and I'm so bored:) Thanks to all of you who came, it truly meant a lot.
