Here we go again!

So as many of you know if took 2 years to get pregnant with our sweet little Evan. I thought for sure it wouldn't take so long with the 2nd one. No such luck :( After trying for a year we are starting our fertility testing all over again. I have my first test tomorrow, an HSG (hysterosalpingogram) to test for tubal patency :) This is where they insert a catheter up your you know what and inject dye inside and watch on fluoroscopy x-ray to see if the dye spills out of both tubes. Wish me luck! I had this test done last time and it was so painful so I'm hoping it won't be as bad this time. Hopefully everything is normal but I have this bad feeling in the back of my head that something is not quite right. I know you all are thinking that I'm just paranoid, which I am, but I still can't shake the feeling! Hopefully there's nothing wrong and this test flushes me out because Evan needs a little brother :)

ABC's

Here's a video of Evan saying his ABC's, it's amazing how smart he is at such a young age. I had two videos, one where he did it perfect and this one which just made me laugh. When he says V is sounds a lot like 3. So when he got to V he switched into numbers mode and said 3, 4, 5 :) Then he realized his mistake and said the last letters in random order. I thought it was funny anyway :)

Rock Band!

Evan LOVES it when uncle Nate comes over and brings his Rock Band! He loves to play every instrument and loves singing into the mic and the headset :) He makes us die every time but he loves it! Haleigh was really getting into it, she's such a great singer!

My Race Car Bed!

So, thanks to Justin and Chelsea we have figured out a solution to Evan's bed problem! He now has his new Race Car Bed! We moved our guest bed into his room and went shopping for new sheets. I suspected he would go right for Thomas The Train, Ah I was right! Uh-oh, 5 seconds later...I want Dora, I want Dora! Hmmmm.... So we go through all of our choices again (not that he can't have Dora! I just wanted him to be sure :) ) Then he saw the Race Cars! Oh it was all over from there. Even though he's never seen the movie, he instantly fell in love! (need to buy that movie) So we get home and he is just so excited he wouldn't let them go, he even cried when I put them in the washer because "I hold my race car sheets mom!" Ok, buddy, as soon as I wash them! He slept like a champ ON the bed :) And all day today he would say "I take a nap on my race car bed with race car pillow and race car sheets!" It's so cute, he would go lay down for 5 minutes, pretend to take a nap and the cycle went on for most of the afternoon like that :) Here's some pics, and of course Haleigh had to get in on that action :) They were posing and giving each other kisses, so cute :)

Me thinks he needs a new bed!

So this is my montage to my little Evan sleeping on the floor. Lately he prefers sleeping on the floor to the bed, as this is a daily occurrence in our house now. Almost every nap I find him in his favorite place, the little corner behind the rocking chair. And at night I find him either behind the rocking chair, in the rocking chair, by the closet or my favorite one is when he fell asleep under his bed :) I'm pretty sure he's outgrown his crib mattress as he is end to end on that thing, and I don't think they're made to sustain 30 plus pound children! Me thinks he needs a new bed! Well it's in the works buddy, you'll hopefully have a new bed soon!

Happy Anniversary!

We just celebrated our 7th anniversary! We went and got pedis, had some dinner and hit up a movie. After 7 years I can say that I know the secret to a good marriage..... HARD WORK :) Laugh a lot and love a lot! I can say through all the challenges we've had, especially recently, it's so great to have a husband as wonderful as Jarom who is willing to put in the work to make our marriage great. Now don't get me wrong, I have to put in the work too but that's what makes it great; if each person is willing to do what it takes. Not only does Jarom work hard at being a great husband and father, he literally works hard to provide for this family. He's such a great example to his son and we are so blessed to have him in our lives. Love you babe! And, he's totally secure in his manhood to go get a pedi with his wife for their anniversary :) And HOT too!
