Your It!

I have been tagged by my friend menardness,
So here is little about MYSELF. And Like April said I understand everyone is only here to hear about Baker but a little Kristin wont kill you all :)
Here is how it works..3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions/ collections, 3 surprise facts about you & then 3 people you want to tag!

3 joys:
1. Being a mom- I couldnt ask for anything better. Seeing Baker smile every morning when I go to pick him up out of bed makes me the happiest girl alive. Having someone love you that much is just the best feeling.
2. Laying in the sun - I cant get enough sun. I put Baker to nap and run out side to lay out for at least a half hour. It calms me. I enjoy swiming being at the river just anything in the sun.
3. Family - I love being with as much family as possible. Throw me into a room with all my aunts, uncles and cousins and my brothers and I am at piece. Its the people who really love you and would be there for you no matter what!

3 fears:
1. Staying alone - I hate when Tyson is gone at night. It has only really happened 3 times since we started dating but I freak out! I leave the TV's on the lights on and the dogs in my bed. I just hate even thinking about maybe staying alone
2. Being a bad wife - I dont cook, I hate cleaning, I barley make it out of bed in the morning. What the heck does Tyson see in me. I am always worried I'm not doing enough. I'm lucky he loves me for my looks :) haha
3. Losing someone I really love - I have been fortunate enough to not really lose anyone super close to me. Losing a Parent, Sibling, Child, Husband is something that I cant even imagine ever happening. Its something I have seen friends go through and thank god that I have been lucky enough to still have everyone close to me!

3 goals
1. Go back to school - Someday I would like to take some classes at CC and at least get my AA. I want to be able to say I finished school somewhere. Im still very interested in someday maybe teaching Pre-school.
2. Move into the home of our dreams - Tyson and I both have a goal to someday buy some land and build our own home. We want our kids to be able to go outside and ride motorcyles and 4 wheel and just run around everywhere. WE want to wake up and look out our window and see nothing but Mountains.
3. Have a little girl - I would love to have at least one more child. If its a girl I would be so thankful and be done. If its another boy I would be very happy and then think about adopting a little girl. Im not sure Im willing to chance having three boys :) I have such a wonderful relationship with my mom I really want to share that same relationship with a daughter.

3 current obsessions/collections
1. Bakers birthday party - I think about it pretty much all day everyday! Who is coming what are we doing. Would this be good, no this is better. I just want it to be perfect and I have to realize its going to be great. Baker is going to be one no matter what kind of party I have!
2. Golf - Well I cant do anything half ass. I either have to be good at it or I dont want to do it. SO since Tyson has decided to take up golf I can either learn to play or sit alone all day. I chose to play. I suck so I am now obsessed with getting better.
3. Amazon shopping - Oh gosh this is a great inventions. Everything you need on one website. I love it. I think between Tyson and I we get something from Amazon delivered to our house everyday. I get everything for Baker off there, from clothes to diapers to formula. Everything. Its really awesome plus we get free second day air on alot of things.

3 surprise Facts
1. Im not looking forward to a swimsuit this year. I am so worried about the day that someone other then my husband see's me I almost pass out when thinking about it. I have never been one to be self concious or worried about my body but after having a baby its just nothing is the same. Its really been hard for me.
2. I feel lucky to have my husband everyday! He is the greatest guy. He does all the things I hate to do and still loves me the same. He gets up early wtih Baker on the weekends to let me sleep and he doesnt even ask to go out with his frineds. He loves being a dad and staying home with his family. He reminds me how much he loves me everyday. He is the best!
3. I want to be pregnant again - I really feel like its time to start trying again. Baker will be a year soon and I really miss having a baby! I don't want to put any pressure on myself to try try try like last time. But I would like to be pregnant sometime by the end of this year. I want my kids to be close in age and not have a huge gap in time. I feel ready physicaly and mentaly.

April made me feel quilty so the rest of you should feel pressure to do it too since your my only blogger friends!

Camping and Birthday Planning

Camping

So we attempted our first camping trip with Baker this weekend. The Richards Family had a reunion which as always was an awesome time. We went up to Harris Park so it was close to town and made for an easy drive there and back. Baker did great. He loves new adventures and also loves being outside so he was in baby heaven. Mom and Dad took my nephew Emo up and he had a great time too. We did get to take Grandpa's Motor home up so I guess it wasn't really camping but I did skip a shower Sunday so I felt like I was camping :)
Baker was loving all the attention he was getting. Uncle Mike tried all weekend to get Baker to let him hold him but Baker was just not having it. He loved watching him but didn't want to be held by him. Aunt Eva was really the only one that got him to actually relax and just be held. Now that Baker is walking he just wants to GO GO GO until he falls asleep. Overall great time and loved seeing everyone.

Birthdays

Tyson and I are trying to figure out what to do for Baker's 1st birthday. I never in a million years thought planning a 1st birthday would be so hard. Tyson wants something simple and I of course want to go way over the top and do everything perfect. So I guess we will have to meet in the middle somewhere. We have picked the date and that is about it. That was the easy part. August 3rd is his birthday so we figure we will do it that Saturday. I know we want to do it at our house. That was a compromise by the way. I wanted to rent a place to do it but Tyson wanted to do it at home so I said fine as long as I can do WHATEVER I want at our house. :) So now all the "FUN" stuff starts. Invites, cake, decorations, party bags. I just figured we can't overdue I mean you only get one 1st birthday. And I love parties and having tons of people around. So keep posted to find out more about Baker's First Birthday!

Starting from the begining

Well since I didn't get to start this blog at the begining of everything I thought since i don't have anything new to write today that I would start at the begining and then kinda catch everyone up on our last 11 months.
Ill start with Baker being born. It was August 2nd 2007 4:00 in the afternoon and I began to have what I thought might be contractions. I was getting my hair done so I decided to push through the cramping and let Micky finish my hair so if I did go into labor I would of course look Beautiful. haha little did I know that isnt possible. So I get done with my hair and go home to my husband who thinks it isnt contractions and I'm just getting anxious. Again I had thought I was in Labor for the past 3 weeks so I understand his thinking. So finally after timing my contractions for 5 hours we decided it was probably time to go to the hospital. So we get there and they hook me up to the machines and call my Dr. Tyson still won't let me call my mom because for some reason he thinks they are going to send me home. Finally at 11 P.M. they tell me I'm here and Im not leaving without a baby. So I get to call my mom :) Mom and Aunt Debbie come down right away and we are all here its Midnight and the waitting process begins. And we wait and wait and wait. To make a LONG LONG story short. I got an epidural at 2 slept until 5 and waitted for the Dr to come break my water at 9 AM. Yes this is 12 hours from when I first checked into the hospital and Im at 6 CM. Then I go instantly to 10 when my water is broke and I start pushing at around 9:15 AM August 3. Push for an hour and a half and then realize this baby isnt going to come out. Rush down to C section and have him at 10:41 AM Ausgust 3, 2008. WOW that makes me tired thinking about it all again. But man was it worth it. He was adorable from the first second I saw him! And that is where it ALL began!

First Day of Blogging

Ok so here I am blogging. Like I don't have 100 other things to keep up with. But Gina Hinton's little blog space was so cute I have decided to give it a try. I'm completly confused already but figured I have to just jump in and start posting and things will come to me. So give me some time and hopefully this will get better.
