So our computer has been down and I haven't been able to blog at all or look at any blogs!! Luckily the part that is broken should be here this week! But here is a little update on us.... Drake had his first haircut. He actually held really still. He was watching Monsters Inc. and Grant kept feeding him fish crackers and we managed to get through it pretty quick. Can't wait until I can post some pics. And the biggest news in our lives right now is that my due date is this coming
Saturday the 27th. And the good news is that I'm going to get induced on the 25th if I don't have him before. I am sooo excited! In just 4 days there's going to be a new baby in our lives. Can't wait for the computer to be back so I can look at everyone's blogs that I've been missing!

MAN Tag

A. The rules are posted at the beginning.B. Each person answers the questions about thier sweetheartsC. At the end of the post, the person then tags people and posts their names; then goes to there blog and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged. Alright people, here are the facts and the details.

What is your husbands name? Grant Michael Giron

How long have you guys been married? 4 years

How long did you date? 5 years. We met at the beginning of junior year which was 1999. We started dating exclusively November 1, 1999 (yes yes, I do remember the actual date) We dated until we were married in September of 2004 (minus a couple of the high school break up then get back together things)

How old is he? 25

Who eats more sweets? Me for sure!

Who said I love you first? I did. And I remember there was silence on the other end of that I love you. I felt so stupid! I think I told him pretty soon after we started dating and I'm sure I freaked him out. But I really did love him and couldn't keep it to myself!

Who is taller? Grant is. I'm also grateful to be able to wear heels :)

Who can sing best? I'm gonna say Grant on this one

Who is smarter? Grant is for sure more logical than I am and more curious than I am. If he doesn't understand how something works he will find out. And he can fix practically anything. I'm a better speller though, and I used to be really good at math.

Who does the laundry? We both do. I hate doing laundry! And Grant has been doing more laundry than me lately cuz it's hard to pack the baskets up and down the stairs with my big belly.

Who pays the bills? Most of them are set up on auto-pay. I pay the few that aren't. But Grant keeps track of our accounts and makes sure there's enough mula!

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do usually. But we need a new mattress bad cuz there is a spring poking up on my side so I've been stealing the left side a lot lately!

Who mows the lawn? Grant

Who cooks dinner? I do, but I'm honestly not a very good cook. And I really don't enjoy it too much. I feel like I make the same stuff over and over. So boring!

Who drives? Grant does

Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? I am for sure. I hate fighting, so I usually try to make up really quick

Who kissed who first? I think Grant initiated our first kiss... that's how I remember it. I'll have to see if he agrees.

Who asked who out first? I did. I remember I totally got snubbed by my friends that night and I was so bummed. And Grant had given me his phone number at school and I'd been telling my mom how cute he is and stuff. So my mom and sister, Steph, kept telling me to just call him. So I did :)

Who wears the pants? That phrase is so one-way. If I say Grant does I feel like I'm saying that I don't have a say in anything, and that's not how it is. But Grant does wear the pants in the way that he couldn't stand it if I ordered him around and always told him what he could and couldn't do

I'm going to tag Alex, Elissa, Lynae, Jen, Grant and Jarell... boys should change this to a WOman tag:)

One Step Closer...

We got the door and garage painted yesterday. We thought we were done painting but Grant and I both think the soffits should be painted the same color as the door and garage. What a pain... for Grant! ha ha! Now it's time to accessorize! I'm going to get a new porch light and a new welcome mat. Anybody have any other good ideas? Then next year hopefully we will be able to

do the front and back yard :)

A Work in Progress

So one thing I really wanted done before the baby comes was to have the front door painted. As you can see in the before pic it was half green/half primed for a couple months. But when I asked Grant to fix it he said as long as he was painting he wanted to paint the whole house cuz he hates this brown color. And I have never loved the brown color but painting the whole house seemed a bit too ambitious. But anyone who knows Grant knows that once he gets an idea there is no turning back! So we are in the middle of it all and here is a pic of the house so far. I'm going to paint the garage and door a charcoaly-brown color (hard to explain but I'll post a pic when it's done) And we need to shop for a new porch light, too. I want to get a black lantern type light or something. Anyway, more pics to come!

Before

After

For Uncle Jarell

We bought this outfit for Drake a long time ago and it finally fits... almost. (It's still a little big) It says "Little Peanut" on it and Jarell has always called Drake a little peanut! The little man has been sick this week so this is the best pic we could get and don't mind the runny nose :(

An Upgrade

I can't believe we just barely got Drake a high chair and he is one! It just seems like there is always SOMETHING to have to buy! I would usually just hold him on my lap to feed him, but it was becoming a struggle... But my life just got a ton easier. He can feed himself a lot more and plus he can't escape and drag his food all around.

This was a day of desperation... I am basically out of room on my lap and he wants to be so independent, so we belted him to the chair! Ghetto Fab


MUCH BETTER!!

Happy Birthday Whitty :)

I meant to do this yesterday... seems I'm atleast one day late with everything lately! But I just wanted to wish my older sister a Happy Bday.

I love you so much and miss you tons. I wouldn't change anything about our lives right now except I would have us living right by eachother! Remember when our lives seemed more simple? I remember we did everything together and talked about every little detail of every day. I remember going through breakups and other hard times and just laying on your lap crying. And I remember how much I would (and still do) stress myself out with details and worrying, and you always know the right thing to say to help me calm down. I miss you :(

Favorite Things of the Moment

I thought I would post a few things that I am in love with at the moment... but first I just need to vent... The doorbell rang and it is this lady trying to sell childrens books for 400 bucks. Grant answered the door but he was trying to leave for work, so he had to feed me to the wolf. And first thing she says is "Wow, you are so big! How much longer do you have?" And then she followed that up with a "Is there more than one baby in there?" Just a note to all door-to-door salespeople... don't make the potential buyer angry before you even start your shpeel! She was getting on my nerves quick! Laughing at her own jokes and blah blah blah. And then I completely lost interest when she said "I personally deliver the books and I send a card letting you know what day I will be coming over so you can make me cookies. What kind of cookies will you be making for me?" Ya... NO! Anyway, beware of a lady with a European accent and a big tote of books, she is on the move.


Back to my fave things

First is this maternity belt that I am modeling in the picture. It can be worn under clothes but when it is super hot out it just feels like another hot layer on my skin. But this baby has been sitting so low and my dr says he is head down. So I always feel so much pressure and I have to pee every second. But the belt takes so much pressure off of my pubic bone and my bladder, it has been so nice. I always need it when I'll be standing lots like shopping or on a walk.



And I LOVE Almay's Intense i-Color Collection. They have eye shadows specifically for your eye color. I always like trying new colors but sometimes it is hard to get my hazel color to pop. Almay has had there "Bring Out" collections out for a long time but the "Play Up" collections are new and I am in love. There are 3 shadows, liquid liner and mascara.
These are the "bring out" shades


These are new "play up" shades
Just go to almay.com to see all the shades for your eye color :)


And I can't live without my lip plumper lip gloss by Bare Escentuals!

Thank You!

I just wanted to thank everyone that's been helping me this last week. I've been struggling! About two weeks ago I felt a bump by my tailbone and it was so tender and sore all the time. And everyday it got harder to get around. It got to the point where I couldn't sit so I went to the Dr. and they told me it was a cyst. He thought it might go away w/ some medicene but it kept getting bigger! UGH! So I finally went in to get it drained (which was a horrible experience!) After that it was so sore and it still took a few days before I could sit. I'm finally starting to get back to normal (pregnant normal anyway...) But I had so much help from friends and fam. Thank you so much for babysitting Drake and bringing dinner over, it saved my life!

Happy 1st Birthday Drakey

I know everybody says it, but I can't believe my baby is one year old! It really does seem like yesterday we were at the hospital... Drake has grown so much and he is such a precious part of our family. He is always smiling and laughing and he is becoming a bit mischievous. He is already so much like Grant... stubborn and strong-willed. We love him so much, and can't remember life without him! Happy bday baby!

Here is a look back :)

XOXOXOXOXO

And While I Was Away...

Grant played! He will deny that he is obsessed with his new motorcycle, but he is. It is pretty much all he has talked about, or done since he got it. And I have such mixed feelings about it. It is so fun to see him so excited about something. And he has wanted a bike since I met him. And when it is parked in the garage I love it and think it is so cool... it's just the whole riding it thing that sucks. Everytime he leaves on it I worry. Maybe I'm just being paranoid? But anyway here it is, the "other woman" in my life...
