Vegan-ish?


Ok, this might sound crazy.... but Ian and I decided to try a VEGAN diet for one month. We LOVE red meat, chicken, dairy, and anything that might come from an animal. We especially LOVE fast food. One might ask why? right? Well Oprah did it again. She had a show sometime in February that challenged her team to be vegan for one week, she had about 378 team members commit to this. Once the challenge was over, many said that their new diet made them feel so much better, not only that, they were able to loose some weight. I am not the best cook, but I try to cook for my family... but there might be weeks were I cook for our family, but most of the time I get lazy or am too tired to cook so we go out and get fast food. OK... So instead of the challenge only lasting for one week at our home.... It will last for ONE full month. We are not allowed to eat meat, fish, chicken, dairy or anything that might come from an animal. We hope to continue eating healthy after our challenge is over with so that Noah grows up in a home that eats healthy. I say vegain-ish because we will try to continue not eating red meat at our home once the challenge is over, but it does not mean that we are not going to be allowed to eat it. I know it going to be hard because we are so used to going out and eating really bad food, but we have to start somewhere. The question is "Can we make it for a full month?" I will keep you posted!


(I just love this picture of Noah's cheeks... I found this picture and just love it, so I thought to include it)

Love to walk, and I am ONE!



My little boy is growing up so fast! He does not talk, but he can sure walk. He started to walk at 10 months and 1 week. I could not believe my eyes! I was doing something and all of a sudden he saw something that he wanted and walked right over to it... I was about 5 steps the first time.

He loves to talk gibberish but he really can't say anything other than Mamma, Dadda, Daddy, Woof Woof when he sees a dog, yum yum when he wants something to eat, tickle tickle, and Min.

He loves to play ball with daddy... he is a really great thrower.

He walks over to daddy as soon as he comes home from work and gives him the biggest hug ever... if daddy does not pay attention to him, he starts crying.

He has a 7:30 bedtime and is a great sleeper... usually wakes up around 7:30-8.

He knows who his family is, if someone comes up to him that he does not know he gets really shy and tries to hide.

He loves going up stairs.

He loves going to the playground.

He absolutely LOVES food, he eats anything and everything.

He still falls asleep with a pacifier and his favorite blanket.

He has been on regular cows milk for about one month and loves it.

10 months





I am 10 months! I love finger foods ( blueberries, cheese and graham crackers to be exact). I put EVERYTHING in my mouth, I love to give hugs to everyone. I love taking naps with mommy and Minnie. I practice walking everyday with my walker, I am almost able to walk by myself. I took a couple of steps the other day then freaked myself out and fell on my tush. I love to get into things... especially the dishwasher.

Happy anniversary to us!

It has been a wonderful 2 years of marriage!

This is us pre marriage,

Ian proposed to me in Guatemala with a ring pop because it is dangerous to be walking around with jewelry. Don't worry, I got a nice little diamond ring when we got back.


Right after he proposed.



We were married in the Newport Beach Temple for time and eternity :)





This is us now...



Happy 2011!







We spent New years eve at the Santizo's. We stayed up till midnight, watched a movie, and hung out with my family. It was a fun night!

Christmas Time

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!
