(A More Real) Love Story

I had to post this!! I thought it was so cute! I'm not a huge Taylor swift fan but I was familiar with this song. This parody is so cute!

Off to the Beach!

This past week we spent a couple of days at the beach! It was great to just get away! Rick got to surf, Matthew got to play in the water and the dirt, and I got to relax! The second day we were there my Mom and Merrie came over to join us and we all had fun hanging out on the beach! Unfortunately I only took a few pictures and they are mainly of Matthew playing in the sand. The day after we came back from the beach we had an early morning ultrasound appointment and a doctor's appointment. During the ultrasound part neither Rick nor I could tell if the baby was a boy or a girl. So, some what disappointed we headed upstairs to our doctor's appointment. As soon as the nurse looked at the pictures she told us it was a girl! I'm not sure how she could tell? But I sure hope she was right! I'm so excited to buy pink things!!!

Matthew loves to run!!

In these two pictures you can see rick off in the distance with his surf board. (His is the light blue one.)

In the past Matthew has disliked playing in the dirt, but on this trip I guess he decided it was a lot of fun! Now we can't keep him out of the dirt!

A new year!

Well, so much has happened since my last post! I'll get right to it and start with our trip to Disneyland. We went to Disneyland on December 18th to Celebrate Merrie's sweet sixteen! We had a lot of fun, and the park was sooo beautiful all decorated for Christmas!! Matthew even got to see Santa while we were there!!

We had a good Christmas this year! Rick was off for eight days around and including Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! We celebrated Christmas Eve with Rick's family. We made gingerbread houses, acted out the Nativity, played games and exchanged presents.

Christmas Day we opened the presents that Santa brought us! Among other things Santa brought Matthew a radio flyer car and a drum set! Matthew loved his car so much that he opened his other presents from inside the car! After we opened our presents we headed over to my parents house!! We opened presents with them and had a wonderful Christmas dinner with my family and Grandma!

Just a few days after Christmas my dear sweet Grandfather, Richard Woessner passed away.
It wasn't sudden but he will be missed! We had his funeral a week or so later.

For New Years we got together with our friends Eric and Kimi and my family. We played games and ate yummy food all night. In January we also found out that we are expecting a new little addition to our family!!! Due to arrive around September 26th! We are all very excited!! On March 5th we took another trip to Disneyland, partly to celebrate my birthday and also because my Mom, and Merrie did the Disney give a day, get a day and made blankets for the project Linus. We had a lot of fun and got to see some fun characters!

Well, that's it for now. Next week I'll post about Easter! So long!!!

What's new?

Well, well, well, so much has happened since our last post! I hardly know where to begin! Well, I mentioned in an earlier post that we went to the beach right after Matthew's 1st birthday, while we were there my camera had an accident involving sand getting inside the camera. Needless to say it is no longer working. We now have a water proof camera!




Now our goings on since our last post:
Our dear friends Eric and Kimi were sealed in the LA temple during the first part of August. We were all part of the wedding party. We had lots of fun and are so happy for them! Merrie went with us so that we could both attend the sealing. Thanks Merrie we'd be lost with out you!

After Eric and Kimi's wedding we moved! Our new apartment is so nice! I love it! It's a lot bigger, it has a garage and a washer and dryer, a fireplace, and I now have a walking closet!! We also purchased a new couch!! Our new complex has lots of young couple from our ward and a new friend for Matthew to play with.

We made another trip to the LA Temple for a family sealing! Merrie could not attend this time so Matthew and I hung out on the temple grounds while Rick attended the sealing.

After the sealing we decided to head over to the beach. We ended up in Morro Bay and stayed for a couple of days. Matthew loved playing on the beach until he fell into a deep tide pool! Rick also bought his first surf board! He recently discovered that he loves to surf!

During the first part of October Matthew was really sick, he had bronchitis and we couldn't take him to a pumpkin patch. So we bought a bunch of pumpkins and brought the patch to him! You can tell he really doesn't feel good though by the way he looks in the pictures! Luckily Matthew recovered in time for Halloween! This year Matthew was Super Mario, he even had a Yoshi! I may be a little biased but I think Matthew had the best costume ever this year!

Rick had to work again this Thanksgiving so Matthew and I spent the day with my parents and grandparents and Merrie!

Today Is Rick's birthday! Poor guy is sick and in bed, I don't have any pictures from his party but I found this picture of Rick and Matthew. We always joke about Matthew being Rick's mini me but it really goes beyond looks. Matthew loves everything that his daddy loves especially video games!! Matthew and I love you Rick, Happy Birthday!!

We did the Mash, we did the Monster Mash!

Matthew's 1st Birthday and Our Trip to the Beach!

Matthew recently had his first Birthday! Our baby turned one on June 18th. We had a party for him the following Saturday. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who shared that day with us! A few things about Matthew:

-He eats anything and everything!

-He crawls really fast (my mom calls it the torpedo crawl)

-He can almost walk. He can take four or five steps before he sits down.

-He has 7 Teeth!!

-He says, mama, dada, baba, no, hello, we go, bye bye, good, num num and ot oh.

-He is in the 90% for height and weight.

-He likes to play with cars and trucks.

-He has decide he only needs his pacifier at night and nap time, other wise he has no use for it.

-He has also decided that he only needs one nap, so he sleeps 12 hours at night and takes a 3 hour nap during the after noon.

-His favorite toys include the computer keyboard and mouse, the PS3 and it's controllers and the piano.

We are so blessed to have him, I could never imagine life with out him!

The Monday after Matthews Birthday party we headed off to the Beach. We met up with my mom and sister and the Taylor's. The Taylor's rented a huge beach house in cayucos and invited us to come stay for a night. We went up on Monday, got all settled in and then headed down to the beach. We had alot of fun rick learned how to surf and Matthew enjoyed playing in the water and the sand (and eating it)! That night we played games for hours, it was alot of fun! The next day Rick, Cameron, and Bryce spent the whole day surfing. Matthew, my mom, my sister and I went to San Luis. We walked around and looked in all the shops. We found a Beverly's there that sold armor! After the boys were done surfing Rick, Matthew and I packed up and headed home. We just want to thank the Taylor's for a wonderful beach trip!

Today we a heading out to go camping so hopefully there will be camping pictures to follow!
