Catch Up!!

Holy Moses how time flies!

As it turns out, Magnus the Man is now 13 months old and growing like a weed! Most people guess him to be at least 18 months old. Ah....that's my boy! We celebrated his first birthday with Grandma and Grandpa Berg, Grandma and Grandpa Gilmer, and friends Allen and Julie Esparza. We had a Luau themed day: toys, fun foods, cake, great tunes, the whole she'bang!
At Magnus's 12 month appointment, he was 26 lbs. and 31 inches. He's walking and running and has been doing so since Easter Day! He managed to crawl up out of his crib only to fall to the floor. He was stunned, but it was all good. He LOVES to play in the water and tease his doggies with treats and toys.He can now say the following: Doggies, Daddy, Mommy, baby, papa, nana (banana), aye (ice), cheese, juice, bubb-oh (bubbles), ball, bee ball (beach ball), dat (that), oh-oh badee-doh (oh-oh spaghetti-o's), and, all done.

Classic!!!

We just returned from a 5-day trip to Scottsdale, AZ with Grandma and Grandpa Buffham and Uncle Dylan and Auntie Haley. It was an awesome time and we lounged in the pool pretty much the entire time. Man, I want this tan to last forever! One day, Josh and I rented mountain bikes and went mountain biking. Can I just say that was the scariest thing I've EVER done and probably THE hardest workout I've ever had. The terrain was inSANE, there were cactus right off the pathways and the sun was punchin' out a good 100 degrees. I would do it again in a heartbeat, it was such an amazing challenge physically and mentally for me. That adrenaline rush can't be beat!I've officially wrapped the film, "Beautiful Brit Baker," and that was also an amazing experience I will never forget. We became wonderful friends with the director and his wife as well as their friends. So now we don't feel so lonely here! Allen, the director, and myself are starting a small production company so we can produce (and I can STAR) in our own work! I'm pretty sure we're set on the company name, Two-Thirteen Productions. It was February (the second month of the year), and the thirteenth was the day Allen and I met. That's when I auditioned for BBB. I've got a short film in the works that will shoot in Sept. I'm also volunteering at the on base gym teaching spinning. LOVE IT! It's what finally pushed me to get my Personal Training Certificate. I'm waiting on my financial assistance through a military program and then I'll get started!Josh is away for a month for training - BOO. But he's getting anxious for his time to move on to other things once he's finished with the military. He's going to use his GI Bill to get his MBA and he's looking in Southern California to do so. I'm cool with that!!

We just ripped out the carpet in our downstairs and put in wood flooring. This place feels SO much cleaner and it looks great!! Who likes to eat on carpet? Nasty. Our carpet had become embarrassing, so, we did something about it! Installed it ourselves!I'll shut up now. Enjoy the pictures and video!!! Love you and miss you!
