ZooLights!!!

Tatum bundled up and ready to go

The musical light trees it was a light show with music and lights that turned into like every color at the beat of the music

Me and Corie thought this was random the Marshmellow man from GhostBusters~

Only in Az would you see Christmas lights as Rattle snakes and Scorpians

Last night we all went to the ZooLights!!...For the past 2 years my mom and dad has bought Tatum a season pass to the zoo so of course we always take full advantage of that gift cause its always so much fun!. We have been wanting to go all month but nothing ever added up right that we could all go together at the same time and finally last night worked out perfectly! Cody and Ryan were both off and both babies were feeling good and it was nice and cool not cold so it ended up being a really good night! I think one of my favorite parts of the night was Parson all bundled up in his snuglli!! It was so cute and so funny he stayed in the exact same position all night!! And for some reason i think he thought that he couldnt move his head so all he did was move his eyes back and forth it was hilarious!! He didnt even look real he looked like a babydoll strapped to ryans chest!! But anyways it was alot of fun and a good way to get us all in the Christmas spirit before our trip up to rv next week for the holidays!! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for the early Christmas present it was lots of fun!!!!!

Tatums Missing Summer!!!!

Gunner lookin sharp after gettin all cleaned up!!!

Aaawwww.....look at all the pretty red hair finally growin in!!!...Love it!!! :)

Soaked!!!

I love her face in this one

Today was such a nice day! Its really hard to believe that its a week before Christmas and its oh about 72 degrees down here right now!!!..Which i guess i do miss all the fun of the snow and bundling up and then i decided that im over it in about 2 days and wish its summer!!! So i guess i have to be thankful for our awesome winter weather!! Anyways...Cody decided to give Gunner a bath, So him and Tatum headed outside and gave him a good scrubbing!!!...After about 15 mins i go outside and what do i find but Tatum in her footie pjs playing in the freakin sprinkler!!...And Codys filming it!!!!!! Yeah i know it wasnt that cold but its the middle of winter and for her 70 degrees is chilly but she didnt care one bit!!!..She had a ball the entire time, soaking wet head to toe!!!..We havent been outside as much lately and i guess she found the chance to play outside and she took full advantage of it!!!...Gotta love my outdoor girl shes too much fun!!!!

Sleepin Baby!!!!

Lately Tatum has gotten into this phase that when its bed time and she falls asleep and we go to put her into her crib she wakes right up and starts freakin out and crying till we get her out!!..Well it started to get out of control so we had to start doing tough love and having her just cry in her crib until she finally gave up and would go to sleep!!..I know mean mom...blah blah!! but ya just gotta do it sometimes!!..Well last night was of course one of those nights, she was passed out and we take her up stairs to lay her down and what do ya know she wakes right up so we gave her a lil kiss and shut the door!!...Thirty mins later of on and off crying she finally stopped crying! We went into check on her and we found her passed out sitting straight up in the corner! The entire time she cries she throws every single blanket and stuffed animal thats in her crib and then stands in the corner crying waiting for us to come!!..And last night i guess she just gave kinda gave up in mid motion and passed out! It was probably one of the funniest and saddest things we have seen her do yet!!..Like i have said before we are gonna have our hands full with this lil girl!!!!! :)

Babies 1st Pics!!!

Today i went in for an ultrasound to get everything checked out! Normally you dont really get a 13 14 week ultrasound but given the situation i get to have a few more the usual!! Which is so fun..Its so crazy that i have a lil tiny person in me just bouncin and squirming and kickin around right now even with this being my 2nd its still hard to believe that whats going on inside you is actually going on!! during the ultrasound the baby was so active and it was just so fun to watch!!! I am even more excited after today cause i guess its actually hit me that there is a lil baby on its way! The lady that did it was so nice she really took her time and showed me everything and explained it all in really good detail!! I saw the brain and the heart and all its chambers, saw all its lil ribs and its lil feet and hands and knees and its tiny tiny butt!!.. :) i just loved it!!! So its was pretty fun i wont know anything about the bleeding of the uterus and stuff till Tuesday because they cant legally till me that kinda stuff but it all looked pretty good from what i saw so!!! And she also got a lil glimpse of what it could be and she showed me!!!!....And its an 80 percent chance of being a......!!!!....Not gonna say till i know for sure!!! But it was pretty crazy!! Here are a few pics, she printed out alot but these are the best at being able to understand pretty good at what your lookin at!!!

Lil Update!!

So not much has been going on in the Townsends lil bubble!!!..We've been having to take it pretty easy cause i have hit a few lil bumps with this pregnancy!..With my first ultrasound they found a tiny lil bleed or bruising as they say on my uterus(its only 7mm) which there not to concerned about cause its not big enough to harm the baby but i juat cant do any heavy lifting...and then my progesterone level is low which thats the hormone that pretty much keeps your body from rejecting the baby i guess so ive been on meds for that and then to top it off this past week my blood pressure has been really low...so im pretty much on bedrest as of right now!!!!...Not fun!!!...Im going crazy!!!...All i wanna do is go on my morning walks with Corie would love to go grocery shopping and i really wanna get to all my Christmas shopping so who knows when thats gonna happin!!!...But were still truckin along the drs arent too concerned about any of it just minor lil things that should all clear up by the time im 13 weeks...just gotta take it easy for now!! Lookin forward to Thanksgiving and Codys moms homemade rolls and homemade apple pie freakin yummy!!!! :) ...Hope everyone has a good Turkey Day!!!

Bun In The Oven!!!!!

Yes thats right!!!...I am PREGNANT!!!!!....Baby Townsend number 2 is on its way!!! And we are soooo....excited!!..We have known for a few weeks but I was waiting until I had my ultrasound today to announce the news!!! I am 8 weeks and 2 days along and will be due June 16th, which happens to also be my birthday!! Which is pretty fun I think!!! Its true what they say about every pregnancy being different cause this one is already completely different then when i was pregnant with Tatum!!!...I have been pretty sick..i have thrown up several times and i am pretty neauseous all day long and extemely tired, its crazy how tired i am all i wanna do is nap!!..Which obviously i cant do because apparently Tatum has all the energy in the world and never needs to nap so im pretty exhausted by the end of the day!!! But other than that everything so far has been good!!!...We are hoping for a stress free and relaxing pregnancy!!!..I had a pretty smooth pregnancy with Tatum until about i would say the last 6 weeks when i developed Preeclampsia which is when you develop high blood pressure and the only was to get rid of it is to have the baby! It put me into early labor (2 weeks early)cause my blood pressure was so high! And also unlike most cases mine didnt go away when i delivered i was in the hospital for a week after i delivered and also on blood pressure medications for 6 weeks after that when it finally just dissappered!!!(crazy how the body works)So we are hoping that it wont happen again because it was not a fun experience for anyone!!! So anyways...heard and saw the heartbeat today and that lil guys heart was just beating away!! :) (yes we are calling it lil guy because cody is just postive if we call it that its coming out a boy) But yeah super excited and we will keep everyone updated with all the baby-to- be -news!!!

Grandpas Lil Cowgirl!!!!

Dont you just love how the pumpkins bring out all the red in her hair!!!! :)

Chubby Parson

When we are up at my parents Tatum just had a ball playing outside...She loves being outside no matter if its ridiculously hot or freezing cold like it was up at my moms she loves it!!! One of her favorite things to do while we were up there was to go out with grandma and grandpa in the mornings and feed all the animals!!!..She would get up find her beanie cause she knew that she wasnt allowed to go outside unless she had it on, run around the house till she could find someone to put it on for her and out she would go in the freezing cold at 6 in the morning!!! She would just love on my dads mule Cinder!!!..Shes her favorite like she would literally grab the mules head and hug it,,haha..funniest thing ever!..She also loved to swing we would always have to bundle up a couple times a day to take her out and let her swing forever!!!..and then finally make her get out kicking and screaming cause she didnt want to stop...but her favorite favorite thing to do and i think everyone elses favorite thing for her to do..was ride my dads mini horse!!..Corky(aka LIL Mister)..It seriously was the cutest thing i have ever seen. Her riding around on this short stubby lil horse around the yard!!!...She thought she was big stuff!!!!..To good to hold on of course she would just ride around apparently practicing her rodeo queen wave!!!.Ever since she was born my dad and grandma just know she is gonna be the rodeo queen and lil cowgirl they always wanted!!!...And she definintly made her grandpas day riding around with her bright red cowgirl hat on the grannie gave her and having the biggest smile on her face the entire time!!! I gotta say she does make one cute tiny cowgirl!!!!

Happy Birthday Corie Jo!!!!!!

Today is my big sister b-day!!!!...I am so thankful to have Corie as a big sister!!!...I have looked up to her pretty much since the day i was born i think...I always wanted to be just like her when we were growing!!!!...It absolutly drove her crazy...I think at times she couldnt stand me cause i was always her lil shadow(i dont blame her i was a lil much). Without Corie our family would not be the same!!!..When you first meet Corie she comes off really shy(which she isnt at all)...but when you know Corie as long as we all have she is actually pretty freaking funny...cause some of the things she says your not expecting to come out of her innocent lil mouth!..So its funny...But anways just wanted to tell Corie Happy Birthday and thanks for everything you have done for me growing up and all the stuff you still do for me you are a huge lifesaver and you have helped me through some pretty rough times that ive gotten myself into and i will always owe ya for all the stuff ya did for me!!!..Your an awesome sister, daughter,wife,and mommy!!!!!!!....Oh and one more thing quick inside joke for Corie Jo!!!.... "Have you ever been to the one Comedy Club???".......... ummm...no why have you?? ......!!!...."Oh me neither i just heard it was really good"!!!!...lol......freakin love ya!!!!

Phone Drama!!!

Lately i have not been having much luck with cell phones!!!!.......About 2 weeks ago my darling lil terror....(love her but shes a mess) Decided to throw my phone into a glass of water and fry it!!!!....She knew she was in trouble when it happined cause she brings me the cup sits it down and then slowly starts backing out of the room looking at me with her big blue eyes and saying "Go"...like where did it go mommy!!!!!..So after a few days with no phone I got another one!!..This past week me and corie and the babies headed up to my parents house to get away for awhile!!!..Well yesterday morning......i went sat on the couch set my phone down and what do you know it decides to slide off the couch not only does it slide of the couch but it slides right into my ice cold glass of water!!!...ummm...yeah....!!!!...Once again im out of a phone and once again have no ones numbers!!!!!!!!!!........So i will be out a phone until i get home next week so.....if anyone needs to get ahold of me.....(Shana..need your number!!!!!!!!!! asap!!!) it aint gonna happin!!!!!....Hopefully i have better luck with the next one!!!!!

The Cool Weather is finally here!!....(kinda)

Finally got a pic of the Tigar out and about that thing is never out!!!!

Tatums bright red lips from sucking down an entire cup of ice cold lemonade

Tatum being angry that she cant get Parson out to play!!!

My favorite!!!..Parson totally doing an elvis lip

So on Saturday me and Corie thought it would be the perfect day to go the zoo to take Parson on his first zoo trip!!!.. We take walks every morning (well almost every morning) around our neighborhood loops!! And in the mornings on our walks its finally starting to cool down and we thought it was be the perfect weather to take a trip to the zoo again!!!...So we made our plans to head out about 830 9ish.....well those of you who know when there are babies involved you dont exactly get out on time!!!..By the time both lil munchkins were fed, changed and Parson burped!!!...(takes a few hours to get that kid to burp)..and the strollers loaded...which that itself is another story...Lets just say the ol Mazda 3 doesnt really have the most trunk space!!! We were finally on the road at 10:15 :) So we arrive at the zoo about 10:45 unload stroller get bags ready get kids in strollers we start our day and its probably 90 degrees out and we are already sweating havent even left the parking lot yet!!!!.lol....it still was ridiculously hot outside!!!!!!!....After about half the zoo we decided to head to the splash pads sit in the shade and just chill!!!..haha...it was still a ton of fun but i think we went a day or two too early!!!..Thanks Parson and Corie for our lil outing!!!! Cant wait for the next one!!!
