It's just around the corner...

Christmas came so fast this year. I can't believe it. This is Paige's 2nd Christmas and I am sure she will have a blast. Not much new to report on right now. We are going to Rocky's parents for Christmas eve tomorrow after I get done with work at 1. We will be there til Christmas day sometime around 3 and then head home and do our gift thing. Then it's off to my parents for the weekend!! WOO HOO!!! SO EXCITED. We are having prime rib and opening gifts on saturday, then it's our big Bohm family christmas party on Sunday afternoon. ( I feel like I may have written all this in a previous post... if I did, sorry!)
Anyway.... I got all my shopping done this past weekend and everything wrapped on Sunday night. Glad thats done. I usually love wrapping gifts, but this year it just seemed like something I HAD to do, and not wanted to do. Hopefully Paige will like the things that Santa got her this year. Her birthday is Jan 5, so I have to think of some more stuff to get her yet too here soon. Her party is going to be Jan. 10th, with my birthday being the next day (the 11th). I am hoping the weather cooperates and my family can come up for it. I think I am going to do a Dora themed party for her this year since she is into Dora and Diego. Last year I did the Disney princesses theme.

Will it ever stop?

So it's snowing... AGAIN. We just got 8 inches 2 nights ago, and now we are supposed to get another 6 inches from this storm. People have been saying that they haven't had this much snow in this area before Christmas in years. Oh well I guess.... thats what we get for moving to Minnesota!!
On another note, I have to get my shopping and wrapping done this weekend. I went and got started last weekend and actually got quite a bit of stuff, and Wed. we went to the Rochester mall and got a couple things. I only have a few more things to get, and a lot of it is gift cards so it won't be so bad.

BOO!

So I was amazed at Paige yesterday. I came home from work, we had supper and Rocky left for work. Paige and I were sitting on the couch snuggling when she picked up this ghost decoration(she raided the closet earlier in the day) that my mom got me a while back. It says BOO on it. Paige pointed to each one of the letters and said them. B.... O.... O.... It was amazing! I mean, I don't think it's everyday that a 23 month old knows most of their ABC's. Must be a wiz kid. :) She points to letters in books and magazines and says them also. She needs some help with some of the letters yet, but she knows quite a few of them. I think she knows them so well because she LOVES the ABC book by Dr. Seuss. We probably read that book to her at least 5 times a day, sometimes more!!

Let it snow, let it snow...

Well, not really. It's not that I hate the snow, I just hate walking around in it, getting my feet wet, (maybe I need some boots??) shoveling my car off, and driving in it. Otherwise it's ok! :) We got 8 inches of snow last night in the first "real" snowstorm of the season. I am sure there are many more to come. I hope this doesn't hinder Pinz and Geoff's decision to come here and visit us this weekend. The way the weather looks, we shouldn't really have any more snow through the weekend, so hopefully they can still come. We haven't had visitors in so long!

Otherwise... I am at work right now, bored. We aren't busy since everyone is probably snowed in. Paige learned the word "take" now so she comes up to you, puts her hands up and says "take!" when she wants to be held. It's really cute but I can tell it's going to be something that we will be hearing a lot. :)

So my cousin and his wife had their baby girl on Sunday. She looks like a real sweetheart and hopefully we will get to meet her before she gets too big. :) Her name is Lilah Josephine.

A little note in my weight loss journey... I lost 2 lbs more, so now my total is up to 54 lost. I am excited! I only have 26 more to go til I am at my goal. I would LOVE to lose even more than that, but 80 was my initial goal so I am sticking to that first.

Sittin' at work

So I am just sitting at work, bored and thought I would take this opportunity to write a little something. Nothing much new going on right now! Basicaly just work and taking care of my little Paige. She is getting so smart! I know I say this every post but it's amazing how much kids learn at this stage. They say they are like little "sponges" at this age, and that is totally true!! Paige can pretty much repeat anything you say (within reason, 1 or 2 words) and it sounds pretty good. Some words are a lot clearer than others, but she is doing really well! She loves to give hugs and kisses and loves to play around with her Daddy whom is home with her all day while I am at work. I am so awed by him, he is an amazing father. I am sure not every Dad would stay at home with their kids all day while Mom works, and then have to go to work himself. He is truly amazing.

Looking forward to Christmas and going to my parents house for the celebration! Their new pool table should hopefully be done and we can have a tournament! I belive we are going to have our imediate family christmas on Saturday afternoon and then have Prime Rib (Mom makes awesome prime rib!) for supper that night. Then on Sunday is our whole huge family christmas party with all the Bohm family being there. Thats always a good time. It will be nice that we can stay until Monday this year too, as I took off of work on Monday so we wouldn't have to leave in the middle of the party on Sunday. Yea!

Also looking forward to my sister Megans wedding! She and Chris are getting married June 20th 2009. So about 7 more months til that! We went with her to pick out dresses and they are really beautiful. They are a halter top and I think they will look really nice on everyone in the wedding. Megans dress is also really beautiful and she looks great in it! It's also a halter top so we will all match! She is having 7 on each side, along with 4 ushers! Chris has a REALLY big family (12 aunts and uncles on each side!) so there should be a lot of people there and it should be a really good time! Pretty much RIGHT after their wedding, Rocky and I will be trying for another baby, so we are both really excited about that. We are both really ready for another baby, afterall, Paige will be 2 in a month! So I guess she will have just turned 3 when we have the next one (provided I get pregnant right away!) So excited!!!!

Well, this "short" post turned into a really long one. I better get going!
Have a great weekend!

Turkey Day

Well once again I have slipped and haven't written in a while...

Not much new with us. We are going to Rocky's parents this weekend for the Thanksgiving festivities. I will pretty much just be eating and taking off since I am going to go to dinner with my 2 bestest friends that night. Can't wait to see them! I believe we are going to go to Red Lobster. Yum!!!!!! Rocky is just going to stay at his parents with Paige and hang out with his brother that night.

We had a good Thanksgiving yesterday. I made turkey and all that good stuff. I was pleasently surprised at how the turkey turned out, it was nice and moist! Also found out that Paige LOVES cranberry sauce!! :) She seriously ate half a can of it yesterday. She's so funny. Barely touched anything else on her plate but kept asking for more cranberries!

Other than that.... Paige and I had a good weekend last weekend at my parents. It was so nice to have an extra day to spend there with them. Can't wait til Christmas when I get to see them again!!! Hopefully the pool table they just got is all done by the Christmas party so we can have a tournament! We did play lots of darts this weekend though, and I must say I had a lot of fun doing that with them. I think once the pool table and everything is done and if Dad gets a bar made and put down there that it will be quite the fun little spot to hang out at!

On a random note... Paige is growing up so fast. I can't believe she is going to be 2 in a month!!! It seems like just yesterday that I was in the hospital in labor... wow... how time flies.

Well have a wonderful weekend!! I am sure I will!

Crazy day

Uh, today was such a crazy day at work. We were off yesterday because of Veterans Day, which was awesome, but we totally pay for it the next day at work being closed the day before. :( It was just a weird day all around. There weren't enough tellers to begin with and we were busy all day. Boo. I guess it made the day go by faster though so I shouldn't complain.

In other news of the day... they shot a new commercial for the Credit union today and they wanted me to be one of the people in it, so I said sure. There were about 6 of us sitting around a big table in one of our conference rooms and our CEO was standing up talking to us. There isn't any sound since they have someone narrate stuff over the commercial part of it so we just sat and chatted ect while they filmed. It took about a half an hour and I had to sign a waiver and everything. It was all kind of a weird experience, but fun. Especially since I got to leave the teller line for 1/2 an hour! WooHoo!

Paige has mastered her first 3 sylible(sp?) word. She says "Diego" and it's pretty clear. Clear enough where you can understand it. I think she is doing pretty well with her speech. I was kind of worried there for a while because there was a little girl Paige used to play with (they lived next to us but moved about a month ago) and her speech was so good and so clear, she was even starting to make sentences and she was just 6 months older than Paige, and Paige was no where near that. Still isn't with the sentences part, but she is adding more words to her vocabulary everyday and getting soooo smart! She loves pizza. Or as she says it "Pia, Pia!!" We had it for supper tonight and she ate 2 pieces!!! 2!!!!! She must have been hungry because she NEVER eats that much! She is such a little sweetie.

First snow!

It snowed for the first time this year on Thursday and Rocky took Paige outside to play in it while I was at work. Looks like she loved it! I am looking forward to taking her out when there is more snow so she can play! I am sure there will be plenty more soon... :(

Birthday party pics

Just a couple pictures from Pinz birthday party!

Just thought this picture was hilarious!

Plus it shows my awesome new haircut the best!

Ooops!

OK, so I haven't blogged in a little over a week. Ooops! I am really bad at this blogging thing I think. Though I suppose there is no set amount you have to blog, but I suppose you should probably do it at least every couple days. Anyway... Last weekend was SOOOO FUN!!! It was awesome to see my family and spend time with them and Pinz' birthday party was super fun also!!! Had the best time partying with everyone and met some really cool new people! Big thanks goes out to my Mom for watching Paige so I could go out with my peeps! Rocky wasn't able to come and he missed out on an excellent time! The night went WAY too fast though.

Other than that.... Rocky is doing a LIVE tournament this weekend with his brother and a couple of their buddies up by the cities, so it's a girls weekend. Paigers and I are here by ourselves. :) Today we danced to Christmas music (yes, I am a Christmas freak!), colored in her Dora coloring book, went to WalMart to pick up a few things including her new winter boots, cooked supper, read some books and then I just gave her a bath and put her to bed. Haven't heard anything from her in about 10 minutes now so I think shes out!
Not that I like Rocky to be gone, but it was nice having something different for supper. Rocky is a tried and true "meat and potatoes" guy, which I don't mind, but I really like all different kinds of food like chinese and mexican. He won't touch any of that. So tonight I made Paige and I shrimp fried rice. Yummy!!! Paige liked it also, she ate quite a bit of it, along with some blueberries (her favorite!)
Anyway... I suppose I better go. I think I am going to curl up with a blanket on the couch and watch a movie tonight...

Is it Friday yet?

Thats what I have been asking Alissa all week... Is it Friday yet?? Tomorrow is my sister Lindseys birthday and she is having a party at her place this weekend. We will also be going out on the town that night. Super excited! Alissa and Granger are making the trip down (as I think I may have said in my previous post) and needless to say we are going to have a blast. It always is when us 3 get together. :) They will be coming to my parents and staying there on Friday night also. I also can't wait to hang out with my parents and sisters. I love going home to visit them and Paige loves seeing them too. I just wish we were a little closer and could make the trip more often... all in good time I guess. Probably not the best time to be looking for new jobs with the job market the way it is...

Pictures...??

Ok, I am attempting to add some pictures on here.... hopefully they show up!

Also, a big THANKS goes out to Liss today for designing my header, it looks great!! Thanks, Liss!

So, this is my little girl, Paige!

All dressed up for my cousin Tori's wedding!

Paigers... adorable, no?

Paige loves Subway!

Messy little eater!!

Been a long time...

Hey, I'm back!!

I can't belive I haven't posted since August!!! Not much is going on with us. Paige is getting smarter every day and is really turning into quite the little toddler. She is so adorable and we love her more and more every day. You can tell she is starting to get a little into the "terrible 2's" as they say. If she doesn't get her way she throws her sippy cup across the room, falls flat on the floor and starts yelling/crying really loud. Luckily this usually only lasts a minute or so and then she's fine. I hope it doesn't get any worse... but I am sure it will. :)

Otherwise... Alissa and Ben's wedding last month was SOOO fun!!! It was an awesome day, we really had a lot of fun. If I can figure out how to post pictures on here, I will get some on. :) I am really kind of new to this whole blogging world.

My sister Lindsey's (Pinz as we lovingly call her) birthday is this week Thursday. She is having her party this weekend and I will be going home for that. Rocky can't come since he has a football game to cover on Friday night. Granger and Alissa will be making the trek down and joining us in the fun. Can't wait!!!

Well, guess I better go... I'm at work right now, so I probably shouldn't be blogging TOO much, but we are slow today so I don't feel so bad. :)

Happy Anniversary!

Well, it was mine and Rockys anniversary today! We have been married for 3 years now! I can't believe how time flies!! Had an ok day at work today, only 5 hours so I guess I can't complain. I also went to the sewing place and had the lady there measure me to alter my dress for my friend Alissa's wedding. (Sept. 27th) Then Paige and I went to Walmart and let Rocky have a little nap at home since he was tired. Paige got up super early this morning. We took Paige to the babysitters around 5:30 and then went out for a nice quiet dinner. We went to the "Old Mill" here just outside of town. It was very good. We both got steaks, which were good, but nothing compaired to Cattlemans in Pierre where we went for our first 2 anniversaries when we lived out in South Dakota. Man now those steaks were the best I have ever tasted.

Not much else going on... we are going to Prescott to Rocky's parents this weekend. We are going to go out on Saturday night and his parents are going to watch Paigers. Can't wait.

Uhhh I am so tired out lately. It's like I have no energy after 8pm!! I feel like I am going to fall asleep right here while I am typing!!! It's probably because I have been working a lot more lately. I like having the extra hours but it makes me mad that they are working the part timers like me to the bone and making us work 6 days a week and we get no benefits!!! The full timers get the nice little 8-5 Monday through Friday schedule and here we are with the crappy hours and have to work Saturdays and we don't even get anything for it!! Makes me a little upset!

First one!

Well hello! I am new to this blogging thing, but thought it sounded kinda fun. Guess it can be a way for me to let all my friends and family that live far away know whats going on in our lives!!!
