So much to say!

So little time until Milo wakes up!

Milo is currently under the Christmas tree while I am doing homework/blogging. 

Yes I said UNDER the tree, he love love LOVES looking at Christmas lights

He is getting sooooooo big!!

I weighed him this morning and he is 11 pounds!! Can you believe he weighed 4 pounds 14 ounces just 2 1/2 months ago?!

He is the cutest thing. ever.

He smiles ALL the time now! :] I'm just anxiously waiting the day he starts to laugh!

We bought Milo this adorable little hooded one-piece from Old Navy. LOVE <3

We went to the Live Nativity down in Provo and so we bought this so he could be outside with us and he looked sooooooo cute in it.

We are taking him to temple square to see the Christmas lights because we know he will absolutely love them!

I can't wait to get pictures of him in this cute outfit. :]

We went to Costco yesterday with Mike's mom and sister and bought a freaking HUGE box of size 2 diapers!! Yes he's almost in size 2 diapers.. I had a heart attack too don't worry!

While we were shopping, Milo had a huge blowout while Lindsey was holding him!! haha Sorry Linds!

It was so bad I had to throw away his cute dinosaur pajamas.. :( (it was the last time he would have worn it anyway, he's outgrowing everything!)

Every day is always an adventure with milo! :]

I want this outfit for Milo ->

because he makes me happy in so many ways:

His eyes get all big when he looks at lights. Even though sometimes he stares directly into lightbulbs.. Then I intervene. haha

He loves laying on his tummy and trying to roll over.

He loves watching tv.. especially when daddy is playing call of duty. (yay... haha)

He giggles in his sleep. and snores :]

He never fails to puke all over me when I try to get ready. Solution? Basketball shorts & hubby shirts 90% of the time! ;)

When I feed him he stares right into my eyes and brings tears to my eyes almost every time.

I am so blessed.

Milo, thank you for taking me on adventures every day.

You make me want to take all the evil out of the world and give you the best life any little boy has ever known.

You may not be spoiled with possessions, but you will always be spoiled with love. 

I love you little chunk :]

XOXO, Momma

Your dream wedding

My wedding was perfect.

The only other dream wedding I have is the day I get sealed.

I imagine it looking a little like this...

<3

Gratitude with Attitude

In honor of Thanksgiving, I always write, blog, think, say, etc.. what I'm grateful for! Sorry for the belated gratitude, but it is gratitude nonetheless! 

I'm THANKFUL for...

The Gospel #1!

Temples. We're going there someday.

Our incredible ward and awesome Bishop!

Coca-Cola <3

My HUGE down blanket

Christmas lights

Amazing mommas! (Shout out! Cozette, Ann, Beth, and of course MY mom)

The ability to have babies.

WIC. They are saving our lives right now.

Snow, for the first time ever ever..

Our laptop!

Online school. It is the best way to reach for the stars and still be a mommy.

Music. It is so important to me!

Facebook. Silly, but not really that silly. 

I keep in touch with friends I never would any other way!

A car that runs.

Pandora! The holiday stations make my day.

Freedom to write whatever the hell I want on this nonsense blog! I <3 my country!

Any man or woman who is or ever has served our country. We are forever in your debt.

Past heartbreaks, they led me to my sweetheart.

Memories.

And most importantly...

I'm thankful for my family, both my old family and my new family I am blessed to call my own through Mike. We are so blessed to have people who love us and look after us.

I'm thankful for my parents, who are taking us in at this crucial time in our lives. 

If it weren't for them, who knows where we would be.. Because of them, we can go to school. Mike can work with his dad and uncle, which he loves! I can be a stay-at-home mom. We can save for a house when we are out of school. 

Thank you Mom and Jon, we love you.

I'm thankful for my husband, Mike. 

He is the cheese to my macaroni. Ok I stole that.. He is the passion that drives me to be a better person. I feel like the sexiest, most ambitious and driven woman alive when he's around. He has a gift because heaven knows I wouldn't think that if it weren't for him! I am thankful to him for choosing me.

We got our Christmas present early this year and it is so much better than a fancy car or big house or ipod... We have Milo. 

Words cannot express how grateful I am for Milo.

He is sunshine and rainbows all bundled up in a rocket ship blanket.

Every day Mike and I get to enjoy this little sweetheart, we are grateful.

I'm thankful for people who care about reading my blog! :)

XOXO, Alecia
