a good day

So today Andy and I had just finished storytime and we were driving in the car on a pretty busy street. We looked over and saw 2 deer leaping through the grass along the side of the road. It was so cool and then out of the trees came 4 more deer. It was funny because people were on the sidewalk really close to the deer just frozen watching this herd running. You'd think we were up in the mountains and not driving along a busy city street. I tried to take a picture but couldn't manage since I was driving. I was way more excited about the deer than Andyman. And to top off the day, it is actually sunny and no one in my house is sick.

Waffles!!!!

So we knew Andy was feeling better when at 2am he woke up screaming WAFFLES!!! Nice try. He got some milk which satisfied him until about 5:45am when "WAFFLES" could once again be heard. He finally got his waffles. I guess little kids get cravings too. Kinda funny.

Will The Crib Last Til July?

At somepoint I got July in my mind when I would move Andy to a toddler bed. That would put him at 2 and a few months. Well I am not sure I will make it. This is how a found Andy a few mornings ago, straddling the side of his crib. I have to get him out of his crib as soon as he wakes up otherwise he tries to get out himself. A few months ago he fell out of his bed and knocked himself out. Your probably wondering why he is still in a crib after that. For any of you that have never met my child, he is wild. I cringe at the wild nights and days ahead when we make that leap to toddler bed. For now the crib stays.

I Am So Grateful For . . .

. . our amazing washer and dryer! A-Man has the stomach flu and I have done 38 loads of laundry in the last 3 days! I am not kidding but this does include our normal wash day loads.

our little picasso

This past weekend we all went to the Museum of Art and had such a great time. There was a children section set up while we were there and the kids were supposed to walk through the museum for inspiration and then could come paint their own bag. So we had to let Andy in on the fun. I didn't bring my camera but the event was hilarious. Andy was wearing this big t-shirt they provided to keep paint on clothes to a minimum. Kent and I were on either side of Andy trying to contain him and he was just diving for the paints. By the end, Kent and I had paint all over our hands and arms and Andy had it on his hands, arms, pants, sweatshirt, face and in his hair. To say Andy was proud of the finished product is an understatement.

The museum had a Native American Art section. Kent and I loved it and it reminded us of all the neat Native American Art we saw on our super fun cruise to Alaska this summer. We've decided when we have an extra $15,000 lying around :), we are going to have a totem pole commissioned in our backyard. We can hardly wait!

Not the Nose!

Little did I know that after giving birth, I was not done sacrificing my body to my child. Over the weekend, darling andy decided to give me a monster head butt and broke my NOSE! What a punk and it was definately on purpose. The sad thing is I have never had any issues with my nose. Why the nose? Luckily it isn't really out of alignment but I have this really nice little bump that the doctor said may or may not go away. The joys of motherhood.

a day of bones

We are trying to find all the kid friendly activities to do in utah to help pass these never ending snowy days. (you can only go sledding so many times) so today we went to the natural history museum and andy man loved digging for dinosaur bones.


If you put a coin down the dinasaurs mouth it will talk and roar. Andy would growl right back at him.


friday nights


How could I not post this picture.

blue blazer

A-Man got this little blazer for christmas from his grandma. He is such a little man in it. It is quite the trick to take a picture of andy these days. I'm not sure where he learned to say "cheese" but he yells it as he is running towards me, prior to any picture being taken.



Andy is into picking out his own outfits and on sunday he did not want to put his white shirt on until he realized he got to wear his tie and jacket like daddy.
