Christmas is in the air.....

So we have 2 days before Christmas and we are so excited! Atticus went and saw Santa yesterday, I thought he was going to hate him but he actually LOVED him and Santa said he was on the nice list so thats good news. We have been so excited for Christmas this year Atticus should be so much fun I cant wait to wake him up on Christmas morning. we also made a trip to temple square this year to see the lights Atticus loved it, he went to Zoo lights this year too with Mam mam Hardee. We are also going to Las Vegas with My in-laws the day after Christmas which I am really looking forward to, even though I havent even started packing, I guess that will go on the list of things to do, right under wrap presents. Lots to do this time of year but it is so worth all the added stress to see the little one happy!

MY TWO YEAR OLD!

Atticus just turned 2!!! He had a wonderful birthday party with lots of friends and family at her party, he got a lot of really neat fun presents. Our best friends from Emery county came up to celebrate with us. Lots of other friends that we haven't seen for a while. We had an Elmo cake that was the cutest cake I have ever seen. He is getting so smart, and SO funny. He is learning how to count and so far we have made it to the number 3, he is also learning his colors slowly but surely. He is making his way into terrible twos and spends a lot of time in time out.....which is ADORABLE!!!! All in all I couldn't ask for a better son! He is the best gift I have ever received and I thank God for him everyday!

THE LONG NEEDED UPDATE

Since the last time I was on here things have sure changed. We are all moved into the new house and we love it so much. I just had my 22nd birthday man how the time flies. Matt will be having his birthday this month and Atticus will be the big number 2 on December 1st. Halloween was a blast. We went trick or treatin in Castle Dale with my little brother , and got to see all of our family and our best friends. Atticus was a skunk and everyone loved it, except him until he found out that it got him candy then he LOVED it.

Matt just recently applied to pharmacy school so we are keeping our fingers crossed for good news about that. I have a feeling that this year is his year. He works so hard for our family he deserves to have a little pay off for all the things he does. Our family is closer now than ever and I cant wait for what the future has in store for us.

It has been a while since ive been on here so i thought i would just update you all, Matthew and I have been married for almost 2 months now, we just bought a house on june 29,2009 and we are in the process of moving. we are so excited and cant wait to finally live somewhere that our family can grow. We were supposed to get our keys to the house yesterday but they never came so we are keeping our fingers crossed that we will get them early today. as soon as we get moved in and settled I will post some pictures.

Next stop and by far the most amazingly beautiful place I have ever been was the wonderful Grand Cayman Island. We got married at this perfect cove called smiths cove we had the most beautiful set up. After we got Married we went back to the ship and changed into our swimming attire and then we were off to snorkle our hearts out on 7 mile beach. We saw lots of fish and the water was even more beautiful than it was in Jamaica. There were lots of people on the beaches but we managed to find our on little spot to spend time with our family and friends.

Our first stop was Jamaica. It was so beautiful and green with lots of mountains. The ocean looked fake, it was so blue and you could see straight to the bottom. We had some fun and went horse back riding in the hills and then in the ocean with them. It was such an amazing experience. The town was very poor and very dirty but everyone there was so happy and nice they really had the "No problem mon" attitude.

On May 9th me Matt Atticus Tatum Cord and some close family members all went on a cruise to Jamaica and Grand Cayman. Matthew and I had been planning to get married in mexico but with the swine flu our plans had to change with only a week before we were supposed to board the ship. We didnt know what we were going to do we had been planning our beach wedding for 9 months and now they were telling us that we weent going to be able to have it. But as luck would have it my aunt found a cruise to Jamaica and Grand Cayman Island so we busted our butts and planned a wedding in literally one week.

17 months

Atticus will be 17 months on the 1st of May. I cant believe that my once 4 pound 4 ounce baby is now so big its gone by so fast. He does something new everyday and as happy as it makes me that he is learning and getting such a great personality it also breaks my heart into millions of peices that my first born is no longer a baby he is a full blown toddler. He makes our lives so much sweeter and so much more enjoyable. and i love every single moment that i get to spend with him.

Easter

We spent this Easter down in Emery county with the Hardee family. The Easter Bunny came and brought Atticus a lot of toys, books, clothes and Atti's favorite, bubbles. After he played with all his toys we got ready to go out onto the desert, where we rode four wheelers, had an Easter egg hunt, and flew kites. it was a great Easter.
