I love my family!

I have to admit... I am a lucky gal... I have the world's best family!!

Christmas 2008

I wrote a nice blog about how much I enjoyed Christmas and I had posted some pictures.... then my computer froze(it has a habit of doing that lately!) and I lost what I wrote... so all you are getting in this blog is... THIS!

Christmas time

I LOVE Christmas! Every year I look forward to this holiday. There are so many things I love about this season... I love to decorate my house, I love the smells, and most importantly I love spending lots of time with my family and friends! This year should be fun since Hayden will be able to open her own presents! Last year she was only 3 weeks old!! Of course, I also love having time off work! I am off from 12/23-01/02!

It's TOO cold out!

Usually I am a fan of winter. I am one of those people you see wearing flip flops in December. This year it's a different story for me, I am hating the cold weather. I do think it may be due to the fact that it went from the low 70's to BAM! the low 40's!! I guess I am also missing warmer weather so I can take Hayden to the park but also so I don't have to run from my house to the car to avoid getting Hayden soaking wet from the rain or frozen from the cold weather. Oh how I miss this...

Another Party for Hayden

Today we are celebrating Hayden's birthday with some of our friends. I am looking forward to seeing everyone... it's so hard to get our friends together lately!!

Oh... and I forgot to mention before.... Hayden's first official word is "Hi"! She waves at people... and animals and says "hi" is this sweet, cute, innocent little voice! You have to hear it! I also think she says cat and that, but it's not as clear as hi is.

Well I am off to start preparing things for her party! Hope everyone has a relaxing Sunday and a great week!

PS... I miss being pregnant!

The Mysterious Blue Streak!

Saturday evening as Lukasz and I were crossing the San Mateo Bridge, we noticed this strange blue streak in the cloudy, sunset sky. We both started to blink our eyes thinking it was one of those flashes of light you get in your eyes sometimes (know what I am talking about??), then we realized that we were both seeing it, and it wasn't our eyes playing tricks on us! Pretty cool right...??!?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAYDEN!

Today is a very special day in our lives... Hayden is ONE today! The year sure has flown by, but I have made sure to enjoy every moment of it! Okay Okay... so I didn't enjoy the 1am feedings, but it is all worth it!! The one thing that I always new I wanted to be in life was a mother, but I never expected it to be this wonderful! I feel so lucky to have such a beautiful, happy and healthy daughter. I can't wait to celebrate many more years with her!

On another note.... we had a GREAT Thanksgiving weekend with family! Hayden had tons of fun at grandma and grandpas, but was excited to see us on Wednesday! Thursday we celebrated with my moms side of the family at my aunt Karens. My family is always fun to be around....we are always laughing! Friday I met up with some old high school friends for a late bite to eat.... it always makes me miss them more when I get a chance to spend time with them. I have such awesome friends, it's just too bad we all live so far apart! Then on Saturday we got together with my dads side of the family at my cousin Tony's house in Dublin. Hayden got to play all day with her little cousin Griffin and his puppy! She had a blast playing in all the fall leaves as well! Sunday was another big day for her. We had professional pictures taken and then celebrated her birthday with grandma and grandpa Pason, as well as uncle Robert.

And here we are.... Monday... her birthday!! She went to the doctors this morning for her one year check up! She's one healthy girl... 21.2 lbs (gained about 14 lbs in her first year of life) and 30 inches! She is getting SO big SO fast!


t!

JUST BECAUSE SHE IS TOO CUTE....

Happy Reading!

I am really excited to start this blog about our family! I tried before to start another blog, but just lost interest.... so this time I am going to do everything in my power to write as often as possible! I think it will be a great way to keep family and friends in the loop with our lives. Hayden is growing up so fast, she is almost ONE, and I want to make everyone feel that they can watch her grow and hear about her daily adventures!

Today my parents are coming to pick Hayden up and take her to their house in Manteca. Lukasz and I will join them in Manteca at some point on Wednesday. I haven't miss a day yet of Hayden's life.... and as much as I will miss her while she's at grandma and grandpa's I think I will enjoy getting a full nights rest, sleeping in, and NOT worrying about all the dirty bottles that need washing! Hopefully she won't miss mommy and daddy too much( I know she won't... but I like to tell myself she will... ha ha)! I think I will use some of my time to work on the hair clips I started making (www.fiddlediddle.com), start decorating for Christmas, and lay on the sofa and be LAZY!
Be a good girl for grandma and grandpa!!
