You Need An Apology...

Sorry for the lack of blogging, I forgot my camera at my brother's house. Oh and starting in Jan. I'm so blogging a couple of times a week...well we'll see. Don't hold me to that;) Merry Christmas!

What? It's December?!

Where did November go?...It's time for a hair trim and it's time for a Christmas tree. Todd and I decided we'll do a real Christmas tree this year! Let's go in rewind for just a sec....

Todd's siblings came to the parents house for Thanksgiving this year. We had too much to eat, as always but loved the company of the Bliss'.

Takoda's 1st Birthday

11/19/09

This little guy Loved his chocolate cake. Todd insited he his ave a chocolate one. So here Takoda chowing down!

I think Takoda often wonders why I'm always taking pictures of him. If he could he would be rolling his eyes:)


The Parents
One night we all went out to eat. Dad ordered a chocolate shake. Mom wanted to share. I looked over and this is what I saw...eww gross I know...but I said hold that pose, let me get out my camera. Kate was like, "You would have a camera on you." (that was besides the point) Anyway cute pic huh?:)

Can you Believe it?Takoda will be 1 on Thursday! I have thought about how much life has changed so much this past year and I can truly say, I love every single day!

I can't believe how much motherhood makes me a cry baby. When I see starving children on TV...or any kind of heart ache concerning a child, I just want to hug Takoda so tight and never let him leave the house....k so i may be exaggerating a tad...But I'm so blessed to have a little boy, who shows so much love and makes me smile even when my eyes are half way shut in the morning:) Love You Takoda!

I dedicate this song...

...No Easy Way Out (Rocky IV) to my 1/2 marathon (13.1 mi) run! This song helped get to the finish line! Results: 2:05, overall 222 place, age group 39th. My goal time was 2:10, so i'm pretty happy with the time. The race couldn't have been in a more beautiful place, we began on the top of Snow Canyon and finished at Snow Canyon high school. My running buddy, Heather was awesome,we didn't stop once. By mile 11 the emotions were high and I just wanted to cry b/c of this great accomplishment (and b/c of this song...haa haa i felt like Rocky working out). Anyway, once I saw my family at the end, the tears came....I soon realized no goal is too high to set for myself. I'm so grateful for Erika and Heather, for helping me train. Thanks girls! And sooo onto our next race?...we'll see... style="visibility:visible;">

~sCaRy~

what were you for Halloween? Takoda was a vampire bat, and I the black widow. Angela and Rachel as you can see were beautiful fairy's! Isn't he the cutest vampire bat?

The web on my face took me a good 1/2 hr. Seriously how come it took me so long?...I dunno but i finally got it down, so if you ever need a spider web drawn on your face just let me know...:)

We went to my parents trunk or treat as well as ours. Between the two Todd and I will be eating candy for weeks...poor Takoda... don't worry Todd lets him take licks of his suckers:)

Hope you had a great weekend...Now Welcome to November! Let the Christmas shopping begin!

Have you Carved Your Pumpkin Yet?

...we did 2 weeks ago and the poor pumpkin is already moldy and sunken in...I blame it on the weather. Our cute little Takoda helped us and enjoyed every minute of it!

we couldn't keep it out of his mouth...who knows maybe it will help him grow hair on his chest...haa haa


He loves his uncle Andy!

We gave him another hair cut, and the poor guy looks like he has a 40 yr old hairy back!:)

Takoda loves his ping pong balls. He throws them and tries to keep up as they bounce and bounce and bounce!

Notice anything peculiar? haa haa oops...
Happy Halloween!!!
