Yes I still exist.

Holy cow.

Its been awhile.

We have had a TON happen in the past few months (as usual) but I just haven't been able to sit down and blog!! I suck at this pretty bad haha oh well!

So back in July we went to my grandparents house in Auburn, Ca.  It was super fun.  They live in a gated community with a lake, golf course, and amazing houses.  They always do a huge Fourth of July celebration so we partook of the activities and food and fun times there!  Nanny out did herself once again with yummy food, adorable decorations in her house, and just an all around great time!  My uncle from Washington came down with his family so we got to hang with the cousins, too!  It was so cute to take Kohen to the beach. He was a little scared of the water at first, but then loved it!!  He really hated his life jacket, though.  We will have to work on that next year haha.  My dads (then) girl friend, Mindy and her son, Morgan, and niece Brooklyn also joined us on the Fourth.  It was the first time officially meeting them for Trey and I so we were a little nervous, but we all seemed to hit it off!  It was such a nice time overall.






We also received some news in July, we are expecting our second little bun!!!  I am due March 21, 2014.  They will be 23 months apart almost to the day! It is so crazy to think we are having another.  It seemed like it took Kohen forever to get here, and then the time just FLEW from the day he was born.  I still can't believe he is a walking, semi-talking, crazy little boy!  No longer a baby! And to imagine a second little person to love and hold and watch grow is mind boggling! I am so excited.  I am SO baby hungry and I can't wait to have another newborn.  I get so sad thinking that I will never get to have Kohen as a baby again.  It went by way too fast!  It will also be interesting to do it all over again.  I like to think I still remember how to care for a new born, but I'm nervous!! I am especially nervous for the sleepless nights.  I've been so spoiled with Kohen.  He goes to bed at 9 and wakes up at 9 and takes a 2 hour nap during the day.  Trust me, I am taking full advantage of my sleep before the baby comes!!!!  It will be a change for sure!!

This pregnancy has been a little different than last time.  I was more sick this time, and WAY more tired.  I think its just because I have Kohen to care for and chase around.  It has gone by a lot faster this time around, again probably due to Kohen!  I am just so anxious to find out what we are having, then I think the time will really fly.  I am currently 17 weeks and 3 days.  We find out what we are having on November 1.  I really don't have a preference.  I think a girl would be so fun!  But a boy would be fun for Kohen to have a little brother to play with.  Either way I will be so happy as long as it is healthy.  I will definitely be posting more once we find out!!


In August I turned 22!  Sometimes I still think I'm 18 or something, but then I see my sister who is 17 and remember that I'm married and a mom and not a kid anymore.  Its weird.

On August 10, my dad married Mindy.  It was a nice ceremony in their neighbor's backyard at sunset.  We had a lot of family and friends come from all over to support us all.  I am super happy that my dad is happy! And everyone seems to be adjusting well in the Leetham home.  Honestly, it was a hard thing for all of us I think.  It was just such a huge change and pretty fast, too.  But I am so happy for them and I am grateful my dad found someone to love and help him with all he has to do.



Trey has been so busy with work!  He is now over 6 stores and training another Area Manager.  He is amazing.  He seriously works SO hard.  His owners seem to be very impressed with him and have some plans for him!  I'm so grateful to have a husband who takes care of us SO WELL.  He has helped keep us financially secure and comfortable and that is such a huge relief. It has been a challenge figuring out both of our schedules with only one car, but we are managing.  We have been so blessed.  I started school at the end of August and I am loving it.  I am only taking two classes and it has been much more manageable than last semester.  I feel like I can take care of everything without stressing so that has been such a nice thing for me.  Its also nice being able to do something for myself and get a little "me" time every night.  I seriously love my major and I am so excited to keep learning!  It is going to take a long time to graduate with two kids!  But as long as I keep chipping away at it I think it will be worth it.  

Kohen is at such a fun age!  I hate how fast he is growing, but I love each new stage.  He can say SO many words in english and spanish!  He knows where his eyes are, his nose, teeth, ear, belly, and we are working on toes.  He loves apples!  Not apple slices, but whole apples.  He is learning how to count.  He always skips one and says "dwos"  as in "dos" and "two" mixed!  Its so funny!  But Trey counts with him in spanish and he guesses a lot of the number right! He is so smart.  He is really really tall, too.  He is getting super skinny.  He is being more of a stubborn eater, but he is definitely growing!  He is obsessed with Elmo.  He asks me to watch Sesame Street CONSTANTLY.  He also loves to dance!! He cracks us up all the time with his moves.  I love him so much!! This is my favorite age so far.  He is just my little buddy!  I can't even remember life without him.  I love being a mom, and especially HIS mom.  I feel so incredibly blessed.





I think that is all the update for now.  I will for sure be better about posting before the baby comes!
