<br />
grandma rachel came in to town a day before my birthday. it's the first time spending my birthday with her in years. i love having my mama around. she's as clean as i am, and kept my home immaculate. mopped every night. dishes. laundry. organizing. you name it, she did it. even scrubbed my tub. i also asked her to practically plan sofia's third birthday party...and boy did she deliver. it's time like these where i want to live with her. i wish i had a chef, house cleaner, and nanny to watch my kids so that i can sleep and recover fully. just for 6 months, that's not too much to ask, right?<br />
<br />
mama, thanks for keeping my house clean, spoiling my children, playing with them, and making sure i had time to rest and relax. i love you every time your heart beats.<br />

<br />
heather flew out to lubbock to help out with babe. can you believe that? she <i>flew</i> to <i>lubbock</i>. who does that? (unless you're mom). i couldn't wait to spend time with her, watch the kids together, and just hang out...but of course, that didn't work out. she couldn't have been here at a more perfect time. she was here when i went in to the hospital a second time. she no longer was "tia heather", she quickly became the mom of my two kids. she was there on my really bad day of vomiting and couldn't even stand up from migraines. she waited on me hand and foot. when i came home from the hospital, she had baked my favorite pumpkin bread...the smell overwhelmed the house, best thing to come home to.<br />
<br />
i can't express the love i have for heather, and the love we have for eliot who watched their son and let her come! bliss family, you are our favs. next time, we want the whole family here.<br />
<br />
she took a lot of pictures of the kids with her iphone...but unfortunately we didn't even get a picture WITH tia heather!<br />

<br />
my mother-in-law has been a rock for me. i can trust her, i look forward to her calls and visits, and i love her. i am so grateful she came out to help me.<br />
<br />
in the past, she's been here to help with my new born. unfortunately, stela took a long time, and pauline became the stay at home mom to a 2 and 1 yr old for two whole days! it was the biggest stress off my chest just not having to worry about my kids. i'm the type of mom that texts reminders: make sure they drink water, they won't ask unless you make them drink...make sure sofia pees before bed time...make sure they...blah blah blah." i'm annoying. but i didn't have to do that with her. she's a mother of 7! they napped for her (sofia does NOT nap anymore), they ate all their food for her, they didn't fuss at bedtime. not fair, but i'm glad they were good for her. i didn't even get to say goodbye to her, because i was still in the hospital. when i came home, there were tupperwares of chicken noodle soup (so i wouldn't have to worry about lunches) and home made pasta sauce in the freezer for the future. divine. i would've loved for her to stay the whole month...but she has a life too, sadly.<br />
<br />
here's when the kids came to the hospital...<br />

ps. she painted my toe nails right before i went in to labor so i could have pretty feet to look at while i was pushing. how thoughtful.Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14009471353147706299noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077997300119952708.post-64335927563412914982013-10-20T09:08:00.000-07:002013-10-20T09:08:05.661-07:00Snail Mailalthough we live in a world of technology, there is just something about getting something in the mail (other than bills). ordering something on amazon, or having the UPS truck stop in front of your house, or getting a card from a family/friend, just does something to me.<br />
<br />
i have been overwhelmed by the love i've gotten through snail mail. it started before stela was born. my sister, ariel, sent me a package with a blankie to perfectly match the new nursery, and beanies for the kids she crocheted. stela wore the beanie home from the hospital, and sleeps with the blanket every night. and has already peed on it. so, so thoughtful.<br />
<br />
then i received a care package from my good friend, jaime. jaime is one of those kinds of people where it seems like she's up for hours at night making lists of ways she can serve every single person she knows...not just the people she likes. it's amazing, and exhausting. anyway, even though i live hundreds of miles away from her, she still had to spoil me with a care package. so, so thoughtful.<br />
<br />
while in the hospital i got a edible arrangements package from my sweet mama. it was heaven sent because the hospital food was disgusting. i gobbled it down...probably should've admired it more, but was too hungry. again, so thoughtful.<br />
<br />
after i had stela, when i got home from the hospital, i got a package. my sis-in-law from oregon, traci, had sent me a package. a gift for each person in the family. crazy nice. she has 6 kids, so i'm sure she knows exactly what i'm going through right now.<br />
<br />
it's overwhelming how thoughtful people are. makes me want to serve others...as soon as i'm more recovered.<br />

<br />
before my mother in law came i had two friends, leilani and regan, who were constantly taking sofia from me. they would call, stop by, text and before i knew it...sofia was gone for 2-4 hours at a time...having the time of her life with their daughters. this meant the world to me. you can imagine being 40 weeks pregnant, chasing after a 2 and 1 yr old. i never asked them (i really, really hate asking). they would make me... "hey, i'll pick up sofia at noon." They took her to ballet class when i was in the hospital. it was amazing and exactly what i needed.<br />
<br />
i had a list of girls schedules who were available to drop everything (even at 3 am) and watch my kids if i went in to labor (thankfully, my mom in law was in town, so i didn't have to use the list!). when i went in to labor, i texted one friend...just one (joleen)...and an hour later i had a week of dinners organized for me. ah-mazing.<br />
<br />
thank you leilani, regan, joleen, aubrey, kirsten, rebecca, roxanne, emily, and channing for watching my kids or making me meals. i barely know you, but i already love you. here's another pic of stela to make it all worth it.<br />

<br />
i feel like everything in this delivery process was a first. it was a first for me to feel fake contractions so early on. it was a first to reach, and pass, my due date. it was a first for me to be in a place where i don't fully know the people.<br />
<br />
stela, here is your story.<br />
<br />
monday, oct 7th<br />
no contractions. i had a docs appointment that afternoon and i was going to ask dr. hook to move things along so i could meet you, and more importantly so grandma crane could meet you! she had been in lubbock since saturday, patiently waiting for your arrival. so, i was at about a 5 and dr. hook said you were so ready to come in to the world. i checked in and was settled in my room by 5:30 pm. so far, we weren't too impressed by the hospital (they made us wait a very long time).<br />
<br />
to make up for it, my nurse, yvette, was amazing. spoiled me rotten and kept me so informed. i wanted to take her home with me. dr. hook was there almost every step of the way. she broke my water, which was a raging river of death (a first for me too).<br />
<br />
unfortunately there was a complication with the epidural. my worst, worst nightmare. ok, my worst nightmare is your dad dying, so maybe not my worst. anyway, i'm deathly afraid of needles, so this happening was just really scary to me. a "wet tap" happened. which is when they accidentally go in too deep (like a mili of millimeter) and fluid starts to leak. he had to go in and do an intrathecal epidural. which means i had to have it in 24 hours. worst thing ever. sorry, i'm being dramatic, but it was really awful. anyway, he said the side effects would be headaches. i thought to myself "that's not too bad, i can live with that." i had no idea what was in store for me.<br />
<br />
back to happy story. i was facetiming my mom and got off the phone with her at 9:56 pm. stela, you were born at 10:10 pm. that's how fast you came! i barely even pushed twice and you were out. it was amazing. you were beautiful, and perfect, and we just wanted to snuggle you. you weighed 7 lbs 7 oz, a perfect weight. 19 and 3/4 in long. we didn't actually have a name for you just yet. for some reason, it just wasn't coming to us. dr. hook said it was her number #1 easiest delivery of all time. good job baby girl. you are already competitive and like to be the best and set a record.<br />
<br />
to say the least, stela, despite all of my fears, and all of my past tears of having children so close together...looking at your gorgeous face and feeling your incredibly strong spirit, we couldn't help but instantly fall in love with you. funny how that happens.<br />
<br />
sofia and lucas are obsessed with you. sofia wants to hold you all the time and is always concerned about whispering just in case you're asleep. lucas screams his head off when you leave the room. he throws himself on the floor and throws whatever he has in his hand until you come back. cute, but annoying. he also likes to poke every hole in your face, sorry about that.<br />
<br />

<br />
recovery has been hard. i had to be readmitted to the hospital because of my epidural problems. i don't want to go too much in to detail because i don't want to relive it or remember it. just google it, and you can read about the side effects :)<br />
<br />
i warn you now, i will be posting about the overwhelming amount of help i have received. i feel like every person deserves their own blog post, seriously, the Lord has blessed our family more than we could have ever expected. stela marie, you are definitely one of those blessings. welcome to our little family.Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14009471353147706299noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077997300119952708.post-8049420030141813762013-10-01T19:55:00.000-07:002013-10-01T19:55:59.238-07:00A Tutu and a Tap Shoei have waited for this day since i found out i was having a girl. making my daughter do something i am in love with. tap.<br />

Tribute to My Two Babies.i am minutes, hours, days away from welcoming the 5th to our family. third baby. so, i thought i'd write a quick note to my other two babies, because yes, they are still babies.<br />
<br />
sofia,<br />
you are two years old. you became a big sister so early in life. you took on the role, and dominated like no other. you love lucas, at least i know you do because every morning you are so excited to see him. an hour after being awake with him, you quickly remember that he shattered your "only child" world and are back to being pretty mean to him. you love to get a reaction out of me. when i ask you to do something, you yell "no," then when i turn around to look at you, you give me the cheesiest smile and say "ok, mom" in a sweet little, perfect voice. you do this a lot, and i fall for it a lot. you still love to eat meat. it still grosses me out, but makes your dad so proud. sausage, deli meat, hot dogs, pot roast, bacon. doesn't matter what kind, you scarf it like an animal. don't worry, i limit it. you walk into a room and say "hey guys, what you doing?" when we answer, you say "oh..." and repeat what we say, as if you know what "studying for class" or "trying to get this stain off the floor" means. you're not sure if your brother's name is lucas or buddy. we love you so much. we love that you're as tall as most 5 year olds. we love that you want to wear a dress almost every day. we love that you know Spanish. we love that you wake us up every morning and sit quietly in our room while you play on dad's ipad so we can sleep an extra half hour. we love how you walk on your toes, as if you need more height. we love that you pray. thank you for being our first born and we know that in the future, you are going to be a great example of a young woman to this baby girl. amo mucho, sofia mae.<br />
<br />
lucas,<br />
you are only one year old.you think you are so cool when you wear your sneakers. you put them on, and you have a little strut in your walk like you are the big man on campus. you throw a lot in the trash can. i find spatulas, and sippy cups, and books there daily. you know to put your plate and fork in the sink, and you can reach! you, like your big sis, are so tall. you only play by yourself when dad's home. when moms home, you want to be carried. you want to stay by my side. you want to climb on me. you say "dad, mama, agua (water), and uva (grape)." you're a picky eater; what kid doesn't like bread? you love music. whenever i'm driving, you and your sister are content when i'm blasting music...preferably ghetto music so you can bob your head. there is so much we love about you. we love how rosy your cheeks get after 15 minutes of playing outside. we love how your legs are so skinny. we love that you follow your big sis around, even though she's so mean to you. we love that you are the biggest snuggler of the family. you let me kiss you as much as i want. you're obsessed with dad playing hide and seek with you. you're not very good at hiding. you don't understand yet that i'm not going to give you all my attention anymore. but i know you're ready. i know that you know this little girl has to join our family right now. i know that you'll step in and be the protector of your two beautiful sisters. i know you'll look up to your dad and want to be just like him when you grow up, because he really is the greatest man we know. we love you lucas j.<br />

i'm terrified of 3 under 3. but with a husband and dad like jeff, my nerves are calmed. i might not be a mom who is ready, but she chose us. and she chose this time to join our young family. and she knows that i'll love her, because she knows how much i love her brother and sister. bring it on, baby girl. we'll see you soon.Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14009471353147706299noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077997300119952708.post-17650310279027330052013-09-06T10:56:00.001-07:002013-09-06T10:57:51.124-07:00When You GIve a Wife a Kitchenaid...when you give a wife a kitchenaid, she's going to make you chocolate chip cookies...weekly. and gain some weight. sofia loves to make cookies with me. i really don't know how to use the kitchenaid to make anything else yet, so it's getting good use just for this.<br />
<br />
since sofia loves making cookies, and jeff loves eating them, and i don't mind eating them either...you better believe we have perfected the recipe. thanks heather bliss.<br />

it's getting harder and harder to entertain these kids since i'm now 9 months pregnant. every day sofia asks to go to preschool. it's so not fair. all of her provo friends are looking cute on their first day of school and she's stuck at home with me. she looks 5! come on people. when she starts pre school next year, she'll look like a kinder kid. maybe even a 1st grader.<br />
<br />
we still listen to pandora disney daily. lucas is very comfortable with his masculinity and will therefore dance to princess music...<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
in dallas we spent most of the time in downtown where my cousin, andres and his new wifey, live. it was a dream...eating from food trucks, going to trendy parks, eating churros with cajeta (mexican thick caramel type thingy), and ate at the best pizza place ever in the chic bishop's district where my cousin, joshua and his new wife, live. my dad's sister, tia chela, hasn't aged in 10 years and when i heard my tio eddie's classic voice, it was like i was 12 years old all over again. </div>

thank you family for an amazing time, can't wait to go again.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
on to austin...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
the wrights are some of the best people in this world. seriously. we are so so so happy that they live in texas. no one treats my kids with the love and care that my sweet nephew, kaleb, treats them. again, we hung out, went to the movies (which jeff and i NEVER do), and ate at amazing places (arguably the best burger place i've ever been to). i wish i could go up once a month to get the treatment i get there...candy on our pillows and home cooked meals. spoiled.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
tio rhino is the biggest BYU fan, and i remember him wearing this wig on game days. so of course we had to get out kids in it too...</div>

yesterday sofia wanted to do a photo shoot. weird, huh? but she was so funny, and posed, and looked so old to me that i just had to post them. we by no means, have a nice camera, so i'm sorry for the poor quality shots. but her smile is priceless.<br />
<br />
ok, first off, she only wears dresses right now. and when she finds my fedora, there's no taking it away from her. also, she's only 2, even though here she looks 5. she is so so tall.<br />

<br />
my in-laws flew to provo, helped us pack up (wow), THEN they drove the uhaul all the way to lubbock so that jeff could be in the car with me and the kids (Wow, capital W). i still can't believe their amazing willingness to do such a selfless act. when we dropped them off at the airport, these were mama crane's words, "thanks sooo much for letting us come to lubbock! we loved it." like it was some kind of vacation or something! all they did was work work work! Thank you best in-laws i've ever had.<br />
<br />
anyway. here's my list.<br />
<br />
LOVE it:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>everything is sooo close! two targets within 5 miles of my house. </li>
<li>costco opening next month</li>
<li>grid (streets set up very much like provo)</li>
<li>texas tech university is beautiful- supposedly college football is amazing here and the town turns in to red raider lunatics...i'm excited for this</li>
<li>our humble home- so fun painting and decorating!</li>
<li>market street - a grocery store that is bit expensive, but think of sprouts, trader joes type. they walk you to your car and put your groceries in your trunk! love that when i have two kids to strap in carseats.</li>
<li>family relatively close! we are going to dallas to see my dad's sister and my cousins who i haven't seen in 15 years next week. then visiting jeff's sis in austin!</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is going to be HARD to get used to:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>i can't go on walks with the stroller! sidewalks don't curb down and not every street has a sidewalk! this is bad bc i go on lots of walks with this kids...</li>
<li>brown, brown, brown. never knew there were so many shades of brown.</li>
<li>our humble home (humble is another word for "it's old and charming and there are so many things for poor jeff to do")</li>
<li>i don't have my mom group- this has been the hardest for me. i loved my "mom group" in provo. my age, girls nights, kids my kids ages, did everything with them.</li>
<li>ash, ceecee, and zoe. my kid's fan club. my sunday dinner family guests. my free babysitters. i'm DYING without these girls.</li>
<li>No one is outside. ever. do i even have neighbors?? so weird coming from provo where everyone is outside, on walks, running, biking, at parks (even during 100 degree summer and 10 degree winters).</li>
</ul>
<div>
pictures of our before and after house to come...</div>

<br />
here's the update on my favorite son. best son, hands down.<br />
<br />
weight: 21 lbs (30%) he's so skinny! like father like son<br />
length: 31.5 in (90%) he's so tall! like father like son<br />
<br />
someone once called him Taco Jeff because he is a small, mexican version of jeff. maybe that's why i love his face so much. maybe that's why i'm so obsessed with him. maybe that's why i can't get enough of him.<br />
<br />
when his hair is wet, jeff likes to play with it...<br />

grandma rachel bought lucas this wagon for his first birthday. the cadillac of wagons. equipped with an umbrella, 6 cup holders, cooler, and it turns in to a bench seat. a-m-a-z-i-n-g. jeff and i want an adult size one. and for someone to pull us around in it. p.s. they aren't making weird faces, they are eating grapes. fitting, right?<br />

lucas j,<br />
your father always calls you "lucas j jefferson j." you are walking like crazy. you have a very high, kind of girly, squeal when you cry. you're really tough considering you have to defend yourself daily from your big sis. you still want mom to hold you all the time (which is not fun with my 6 month belly). we call you "pigeon" because you walk from person to person with your mouth open during dinner time, and will eat anything we put in your mouth (but not when you're in your high chair). you kick both of your feet, frantically, when you're excited (we compare it to a puppy wagging it's tail). you smile at everyone. you are the biggest cuddle bug ever. and not just with me or dad, with anyone who will carry you. we love how you bob your head any time you hear music, and how you applaud whenever there is applause on tv. i can't tell you how much i love you. you have made my life so wonderful this past year. i'm so obsessed with your face. sorry i kiss you so much. i really can't help it. love you every time your heart beats. happy birthday (last week).<br />

last month i got to go to san diego (kid free) and it was the first time us 4 hermanas we together, in one state. i love my sisters so much, each one for different reasons.<br />
<br />
ceecee. just got home from her mission. just moved in with me and jeff for a few weeks till she gets on her feet. we've missed her so much, but we're so grateful for her example of serving a full-time mission for our church. she has changed so much and my kids are LOVING living with her. i am so glad you're my sister.<br />
<br />
candice. today's your 30th birthday. i can't believe it. i still remember playing cars and barbies with you. walking home with you when you were a big 6th grader. fighting over the remote (and hiding it) with you in high school. you are such a natural mom. so beautiful because there's not a bad bone in your body. i'm so glad you're my sister.<br />
<br />
melody. the oldest. and wisest? not only are you the best party planner i know, and the BEST restaurant picker on the planet, but you also know how to make people feel special. you've always played the role of big sister to us, making sure to protect us all. I'm so glad you're my sister.<br />
<br />
ariel. honorary sister. we've always counted you as our sister since the day you moved in with us. we fight with you just as much :). you spoil me. you spoil my kids and i wish you lived next door because i know you'd wash my dishes daily and make me (and sofia) as many scarves as we wanted. I'm so glad you're my sister.<br />

<br />
1. general conference<br />
traci, chad, and the stephenson crew came out to visit one last time before we move. sofia is always stoked when they come because she prances around like she has 4 older sisters. they really take care of her and treat her like a princess. it's hard when they leave, because i don't treat her like a princess. jeff and i love it when they come because they spoil us to death with gifts and eating out (i gain an average of 4 pounds every time they've come).<br />
<br />

3. BYU graduation!<br />
<br />
we are super proud of jeff for graduating with his master's degree from BYU. go babe!! he worked so hard and i can't be happier for him. although he's not finished with his education, we are a step closer to his career.<br />
<br />
we were able to celebrate with his parents (grandpa crane and grandma crane), and also a few others that we rarely get to see (uncle joe, aunt janet, and grandma ruth)<br />

after dave and pauline left, some of my family members came in to town. sadly i didn't get ONE picture with tia Mary, aya, and alec. i will be searching their iphones to see if they got any!!Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14009471353147706299noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077997300119952708.post-30859425214583315562013-03-31T21:46:00.000-07:002013-03-31T21:52:21.145-07:00Playing Catch Upi'm not dead. my camera chord isn't missing. i really have no excuse for not blogging. i need to do this because i quickly forget the cute things my kids are doing! you think you'll remember, i don't even remember what time sofia was born. anyway, a lot of things have happened...so i'm just going to type.<br />
<br />
lucas you're 9 1/2 months. you still only have two teeth! sofia got teeth early, so this is new to me. you're also super tall. your 9 month appt is coming up...when you turn 10 months. oops, bad mom, forgot to schedule an appointment. i'm over it. yes, that's a leaf in your mouth. you eat about ten a day. apparently non toxic. you're still a mama's boy 100%. if i'm in the room, you have to be next to me. you flap your arms like a crazy boy when i come in to the room. makes me feel good because sofia was never a mama's girl. you think you can walk, but you can't. i'm so glad you can't.<br />

you two don't get along that well. sofia takes every toy away from you. she sits on you. she pushes you. she hits you. i'm so sorry. she does love you though. i can tell because she's always trying to make you laugh. she is also happy to see you first thing in the morning. i really love this picture.<br />

you have really nice eye lashes, which isn't fair because both sofia and i don't have any. i love your face, and i kiss you a little too much.<br />

sofia, you are two going on 15. you are so tall. everyone thinks you're 4. i love how tall you are! and you are so beautiful. you only like to wear dresses. to get you dressed every morning i have to tell you i'm putting on you cinderella's dress, or aurora. then i put some jeggings on underneath. although you'd rather not have clothes on. when we come in to your room in the morning, your pj AND diaper are usually off. we don't know exactly when you take them off. you also have stopped napping, which is completely driving me crazy. you're only 2!! not even 2 and a half! you shouldn't give up your nap till your at least 4! sorry, lot's of exclamation points, i really miss your nap. i guess maybe since you're the height of a 4 year old, and you act like a 15 year old you think you don't need naps anymore. you still have to be in your room for a while so mom can have some time without you.<br />

my best friend since 7th grade, amanda <strike>allred,</strike> visited me from korea! and her entire family was here too. i am in love with this family. i looked up to them so much in high school. amanda was my best friend through my really ugly, awkward, awful years and still stood by me. that's love. i'm so grateful for technology that lets me skype with her at least 2x a week.<br />

just to show you how big lucas is right now...compare him to the pretty girl to the left. ellie is amanda's daughter who is almost 1. lucas had just turned 9 months here. see how big he is? also, sofia and claire (the beautiful toddler all the way on the left) are only 5 months apart. again, she towers over everyone her age.<br />

although the community festivities were no where near as amazing as last year, we still made the best of it. thanks to grandma queen, my kids were spoiled. <i>i </i>feel spoiled because i don't have to do <i>anything</i> as a parent. she sent them both easter baskets. a few weeks ago jeff said to me "why hasn't your mom sent sofia an easter dress yet?" i <strike>scolded</strike> told him we shouldn't "expect" my mom to do everything for our kids, but then told him "she has. she sent two. and shoes. and baskets."<br />

<br />
1. aladdin. we used to sing "i feel my Savior's love" every night to her. not anymore. she makes us sing "riffraff street rat, i don't buy that..." you know, that song. we also have to finish with the dialogue aladdin has with abu right after the song.<br />
<br />
2. also from aladdin: she'll go under the dinner table, poke her head out over the bench, make you say "do you trust me" then she says "si" then together you say "then juuuuuuump!" while pulling her over the bench. remember that scene? again, cute, until you've done it 15x in a row. doesn't get old to her.<br />
<br />
3. we listen to disney pandora at least 1-2 hours per day. she know every disney princess song and will dance with the specific princess figurine that is singing (thanks grandma queen, she LOVES them). she knows which princess is missing and we all have to stop what we are doing to find her, or she freaks out.<br />
<br />
4. she planks. if you've seen <i>the office</i>, then you know what i'm talking about. the last picture below shows her planking randomly in our living room...and jeff put lucas on top of her for a quick photo.<br />
<br />
grandma queen came to visit last week while jeffrey was in michigan for a phd interview. we love when grandmas come to play. so spoiled. everything they are wearing, including the socks, were thanks to my mama. come again soon. like next week?<br />

<br />
she is so my daughter<br />
<ul>
<li>eats fruit like its going out of business</li>
<li>eats super slow (jeff can eat 3x as much in one sitting)</li>
<li>she has my nose</li>
<li>likes to be outside when it's hot</li>
<li>LOVES boots. wears them all the time, even inside (which bugs me bc we don't wear shoes in the house)</li>
<li>emotional</li>
<li>likes cars (i was obsessed with playing with cars as a kid)</li>
<li>loves to cuddle/hug/kiss/touch</li>
</ul>
<div>
she is so your daughter</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>same exact hair color</li>
<li>prefers sugar</li>
<li>loves to play in the snow</li>
<li>never runs out of energy</li>
<li>loves movies</li>
<li>loves drinks (i only give her milk and water, so when she gets something else, she freaks out with excitement)</li>
</ul>
<div>
he is so my son</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>thinks everything jeff does is hilarious</li>
<li>doesn't like to be alone</li>
<li>emotional</li>
<li>will not eat cold food</li>
<li>high maintenance</li>
<li>always wants to be held</li>
</ul>
<div>
he is so your son</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>easily entertained</li>
<li>big feet and hands</li>
<li>doesn't care so much about food (not as much as his sister and mom)</li>
<li>farts way more than sofia did (i'm not saying jeff does this, i just think it's such a man thing)</li>
</ul>
<div>
here are some pictures of my little man, just because...</div>

<br />
we started out going to the poinsettia bowl where BYU played SDSU. i mean where BYU crushed SDSU. it felt so good to sing our fight song so many times. thanks to our good friends, james and rachel lark, we got amazing tickets. shot out to james for being a great football player and for being our friend.<br />

we just can't wait to meet baby eli.<br />
<br />
we took my mama out for a girls day. started with mani/pedi, then went to dinner, out shopping to buy her a few outfits, and then saw les miserables. we went to a restaurant called slater 50/50 and it was amazing. i dream about the food. they have burgers that have bacon in them. not as part of the toppings, actually grilled IN the middle of the meat. you heard me. here are pics at the restaurant...<br />

we sure do love our mom.<br />
<br />
when i was in high school, a special memory i have is cooking every sunday with my grandma. i wanted to learn everything from her. how to make beans, rice, and most importantly, home-made tortillas. the image below seriously brought tears to my eyes...in fact, my grandma started crying after i took these pictures.<br />

<br />
we did these back in september, when lucas was almost 3 months (which means i HADN'T, and still haven't, lost all my baby weight). i haven't been able to post them because it was part of my christmas gift to my mom and dad, so i didn't want to go public with them.<br />
<br />
forgive the photo overload...i just couldn't help it, my kids are just so darn cute. and i have proof, just scroll down...<br />

Thanksgiving a Month Late?oopsie, i can't believe i'm just posting about our trip to san fran for thanksgiving. i'm so sorry dave and pauline! anyway, i seriously love the fact that my parents live in san diego, and jeffs in san fran (two best places to visit in the u.s.a...although jeff would definitely beg to differ).<br />
<br />
you would think it was going to be a quiet thanksgiving since it was only going to be jeff, his little sis Ash and his big sis, traci. but then...you count in the spouses and kids and boom you have a hundred people for dinner. love it.<br />

grandpa and grandma came in to town for a quick visit and stayed with us. this picture makes me so happy. i don't see this side of grandpa unless he's around his grandchildren (sofia especially. she's special because she's his only mexican granddaughter).<br />

i've lived here 10 years. and i am still not used to the snow. the first time it hits big, i don't have the itch to run outside and play. i don't get <i>that</i> excited at the white blanket of snow covering our mountains. i guess i'm grateful that it was only snow that hit us, and not a crazy hurricane (like it did for many other unfortunate people). but i feel like it came literally over night. the roads were ugly, trees were tipped over, the leaves all fell. sofia loves it. it meaning snow. she loves the touch. she loves snowmen. she loves the taste. her dad taught her that one. dad came straight home from work and took the kids out to play in the snow.<br />
<br />
don't mind the large gloves. we haven't gotten her any yet, so she borrowed mine, and we stuffed em. she doesn't have weird, large hands. promise.<br />

i love this little girl. even though her favorite thing right now is to hit other kids (really, it's so embarrassing). i feel like we can't go in public til this phase is over. her favorite word is still "no". oh she is going to be the end of me, but i can't live without her. never want to. happy birthday my sweet little 2 year old. thank you for being such a good little helper, for giving bear hugs to lucas, for taking diapers to the trash for me, for having dance parties with me daily in the kitchen, for being obsessed with the little mermaid, for being able to speak spanish, for saying "hey guys" when you walk in to every room, for saying random "sorrys" to people in public, for popping out from behind the couch and saying "coo coo," for loving your grey boots and wearing them with everything, for pretending to know the lyrics to every song, and for learning so much every single day. i love you every time your heart beats.<br />
