Waiting out the Storm.....

I am sure you are wondering were in the world have we been, then again maybe not :0

We are alive and well, just been super busy!

I have been playing the roll of a full time mother, full time apartment manager, part time Esthetician in Cali, part time Esthetician in Utah! WOW!!! My poor son! So to make a long boring story short I traveled to Utah for a year now continuing on working with my clients! And after a year of trying to balance everything, I decided something had to give. So as sad as it was I no longer am making the commute every 5 weeks to UT....for my family and my marriage :)


On those good days we took lots of pictures of Jude.......

CREAM SODA

ZOO & PARKS

So many choices.....




We have been LOVING this warm Cali weather, even though we were in jackets one of the days, we kept taking them off (notice Jude in the pics) Cole just got home from a little tour and we were SO happy to have a family day. We went to the Zoo and played at the park in the Zoo, and had a little picnic. It has been a struggle switching Jude over to one nap, sometimes he still takes two. On days like today one nap was great...we have more time to have fun!!

Cole and Jude singing the "Three little monkeys singing in the tree.....along comes Mr. Alligator SNAP that monkey right out of the tree"



Jude trying to ride the Alligator



Jude wanting the Hippo



Dang that binky!! Can someone please explain to my husband that he only gets it in the crib!!!



Snow Leopard...This animal was my favorit this time, he was asleep when we got there but I kept calling him to wake up and finally he did but he was so bugged with me so he kept walking around in circles..sorry dude my baby wanted to see you



Pink Flamingos



Monkeys

I KNOW




Yes, I know it has been FOREVER since I have last blogged. The truth is somebody (me) gave some little person (Jude) a camera to play with HELLO!! I don't know how he figured out how to delete 287 pictures!! That's right, all of January and February memories GONE!!! Well, the pictures anyway. Travel Town, Hollywood tour, Anniversary, Week of fun with our cousins visiting (Maria any pics you have I would love you to send them to me!!!) Six flags, moving day, ALL GONE!!!

That's okay we learn from our mistakes, and now he will NEVER get to play with the camera ever again!!!

Jude is 14months now, I can not believe it. I used to say that I would never say how old he was in months, just 1,2 and so forth. Every time I tell people he is one, they go off on how much older he looks then a one year old, then I say "well 14 months" and for some reason that makes all the difference in the world?? Crazy people!!!

We are still here in L.A. but moved about ten min away. We are now apartment managers in the same ward!! Yeah for NO rent.....well that is a lie because I am working my butt off right now but YEAH for not stressing about paying rent!!

We sub-letted the house we were living in to Nick Cannon's brother, Gabriel otherwise know as G.Q. Writer! Hopefully he will tell us if his sister-in-law Mariah Carey stops by to see him :) The two band members still live in the back so the bus and practice space is still taken care of. I really like our apartment, It seems so much nicer and cleaner. It rains so much here in Cali that it's nice to not have to worry about the dirt and rain getting on all of our belongings outside now.

Cole is still busy or slow. It's so weird it seems like it goes in two week phases. He will be home for two weeks doing random things and then I wont see him for two weeks because he is working 24/7. You would think this would be a good thing, but for some reason the two weeks he is home is harder for us??? We just need to find a balance. I know that sounds horrible, it's not like I don't LOVE Cole being home, sometimes he just home to much, I better just stop now, I feel like I am digging myself a whole!

Back to Jude, he is such a goof ball. He thinks he is so funny and wants everybody to see how funny he is. He is SOOOOOO social. Because we travel so much, he is used to strangers and attention from everybody. If you are not looking at him, he will just stare at you and laugh until you look at him! He is starting to throw big tantrums, falling on the floor and all! He is MR independent, wants to do everything by himself, I wonder where he got that from :)? He yells "Mom" whenever he can't see me, and "DADDA" when he wants out of his crib...the other day we put him to bed and he was out of control tired so he was crying after about a min of crying he just started yelling "DAD, DADDA" I mean really yelling, Cole and I thought it was so funny.

Here is a funny Oreo video for you.......
