She's Here...

Paisley Reese

6lbs 2oz. ~ 19 in.

Our little bundle of joy finally made her appearance last week!! So sweet and tiny. I already love her so much. We're so happy to welcome her into our family.

Roman is so sweet with her. He calls her his princess!

She's so perfect!!

This last week has been the greatest of my life! The only thing better than loving Roman so much is having two little ones to love that much.

I'll post the birth story soon...

My Pregnant Buddy...

Have I ever told you I love being pregnant at the same time as Crystal? She's the sweetest nicest person in the world and I adore her to death!! My brother couldn't have married anyone better. It's nice having someone to relate to that's going through everything at the same time. She's awesome at making me feel better about everything pregnancy related. (She can even find a way to justify the fact that I gained some extra weight last month!) This is the second time we've been pregnant together. Last time our due dates were two weeks apart. This time we are due 1 day apart. Katie and Rome ended up being only 1 week instead of 2 so it'll be interesting to see how far apart these little ones will be. Only time will tell...

This pic was taken a few weeks or so ago at 33 weeks. A little out dated now, but good enough!!

Arizona...

We got a chance to head to Arizona for a few days. Chels got engaged a few weeks ago and will be moving there once the nuptials go down, so we went to see where she'll be living. The drive was awful being 7 months pregnant but Rome did so good! It was fun.

Things we did:

~Spent time at the play ground and freezing cold pool!
Ro met the cutest little friend named Rya at the playground. I wish I got pictures. And no joke, the water was like -50 degrees but we were determined to spend time at the pool while we were there. Rome would get in for 30 seconds, then get out to warm up, then would want right back in again. At least it was warm outside!

~Went to a spring training baseball game. Angels vs. Brewers. Todd loved it. I can tell deep down, he's a secret baseball fan.

~Went to the Mesa Temple. I didn't get a change to do a session like I was planning, but we at least got to see it and walk the temple grounds. By the way, my husband is going to Hell for eating the sacred fruit. It was funny cuz he almost died doing it. I told him not to, then he choked on it. I couldn't stop laughing. I'm a great wife huh? Oh yeah Cody's going to Hell too.

~We also went to a Renaissance Festival. They has some fun things like jousting tournaments and elephant rides. However I don't think I've ever seen so much cleavage in my life.

~Scorpion hunting.

It was Todd's favorite part of the whole trip! (I mean besides the baseball game) We bought some black lights while we were there because scorpions glow green making them easy to find at night. I'm not a huge fan. But it did make for lots of fun for everyone else.

George was awesome for putting my whole family up at his house. I'm sure it was quite overwhelming but he was a great sport! We're excited for him to join the family!! (And we had to break him in somehow.) Rome had so much fun, when Todd and I told him we were going home he said "No. I'm just gonna stay here. And you guys go home all by yourselfes."

Flyin'...

Snuggle...

Baby #2...

I had my 20 week ultrasound and it was so neat! Not only to hear that baby appears healthy, but also to be able to see the tiny movement I've been feeling inside of me. On top of that we found out that this little one is a girl!!! I was a little shocked. And like last time, Todd was right again. For a minute there, I thought we wouldn't find out the gender. She was acting pretty shy!! The ultrasound tech said she'd buy some time doing other things while I prodded at my stomach to get her to move and open up. I thought briefly about just calling it good but Todd wasn't having it. {He wanted to find out the gender and I didn't.} She finally opened up only for a second so we could get a sneak peak. And we're super excited! Now to start shopping for cute girl clothes and hair bows! {She'll definitely need the hair accessories. Cuz we already know she'll be bald and beautiful!}

Here's some pics we were able to get.

This is the pic of our early ultrasound taken at 7 weeks

It's crazy to see how much she's grown!!

Happy 2 You...

Our awesome son had a birthday!

He's now 2. And hilarious for that matter.

But if you ask him how old he is he'll say "Just only 2 months. Not 2 years."

We threw his party at Chuck-E-Cheese. We figured letting him run from game to game, stopping only briefly enough to catch his breath before running to the next would entertain him greatly. And it did.

Gentry made him a sweet Lightning McQueen cake. Which he also loved. Thanks everyone for the gifts and for coming.

Ps. Roman had a checkup at the doctor this week also. He's a big boy.

95% for height and 85% for weight.

I've calculated his predicted adult height with the double his 2 year old height theory.

He should be 6'1'' Which could be very possible with a dad that's 6'2'' and a mom that's 5'9''. So check back to this blog in 20 years and I'll let ya know if it holds true or not :)

Our 2009...

Random Pictures from each month in 2009.

Excited to see what 2010 brings.

6 days til....

Romanowski loves anything Christmas. Every time we get in the car, he asks to see Christmas lights. ---He doesn't care that it's noon.

And every time we come home he runs to the Christmas Tree and says "See that's my Christmas lights and that's my Christmas tree!!!" ---Usually 3 or 4 times.

I frequently hear him singing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" ---while he's playing alone.

Merry Madagascar is his new favorite movie. ---Good thing it's only 22 minutes long.

He tells koda when she sniffs the tree that "those are no no's" --- referring to the ornaments.

and He's in love with the song "Your a Mean One Mr. Grinch." The other day at my parents, I overheard him telling Gentry as he sat on her lap "I love that movie ssooooooo sooo much! Not teeny tiny little so much, but great big big HUGE so much!!!" ---Hand movements included. Apparently he really wanted her to play it

I think the only thing better than me waking up as a child on Christmas morning to see that Santa had come, is going to be having my kids wake up Christmas morning to see that Santa has come. It's already awesome and he doesn't even really understand it yet. I can see why people say cherish them when they're young. They're just so excitable!!

now we just need to get over to see Santa. We've admired from afar but haven't tried for the lap yet. We'll see if we get anywhere close. I'm assuming that's a negative!!!
