Stinky stuff

I love being a parent, but sometimes it seems like some days are just full of poopies and other fun things that are stinky!!! Today was one of those. For sure. And most of the time it happens when Bryan isn't around to enjoy it! Last night I got to experience the first blow-out on a 'real food diet'- if ya know what I mean... Bath #1....
Then last night Peter's diaper didn't seem to be on him or something... his bed was soaking wet this morning and so the sheets got to go in the washer along with the pj's...Bath #2...
Then Peter came with me to run some errands around town and I heard something uh, abnormal from the backseat, ewwww, puke. Bath #3... and I got to shampoo the back seat of the car, wash the car seat and another set of clothes, as well as a very smelly little boy. Wow.

To end on a positive note, I will just to update the latest and greatest! Peter can give very good high fives and loves to grunt when he thinks something is funny. He is still not walking, but can crawl everywhere and has way more rhythm than his daddy! He loves music and shakes his little booty and it cracks me up. He also does a 'disco' arm with a point to the ceiling to the floor with the beat. If I ever figure out how to record a video to blogger I will post it. It rocks.

Happy Late Birthday... to me!

Birthday's just aren't as cool as they used to be. Its sad, but true. I don't like that if someone was to round my age, they would round up to 30. Being closer to 20 was so much cooler! But, my day was pretty cool because Kate Dahle made me a rice krispy 'cake' with the most awesome candle arrangement!
P.S Doesn't Bryan look super enthusiastic???

Hit the Road Jack!

I have a little catching up to do! We had a garage sale 2 weeks ago to get rid of junk to make our move to the east easier, and well, it was an adventure to say the least. To make a long story short, Jack, our dog, was run over by a car. And the owner of the car was the owner of Jack as well. Sad. Sad story. But there is always a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! We thought he was a gonner for sure, but after taking him to the pet emergency room (who knew that even exisited???) we discovered that he had no broken bones or internal bleeding. Wow. Our dog has 9 lives. Just him and the roaches will be left here on earth after a nuclear war! He is has a hurt shoulder, but is on doggie bed rest for a couple weeks and he should be fine!

Ironic thing: we made enough at the garage sale to cover Jack's vet bill- almost to the penny!

Picture Time...

Amy Patterson ROCKS! I don't know how you get him to smile, but he does it for you!

Don't you just love the red chair???!!!

Happy 1st Birthday!

*Peter is a whopping one year old! His birthday started out the same as any other day. Wake up at 6:30 am, play, eat breakfast, take a nap at 8:30. Wake up an hour later, play more, eat more. Then play more, snack a little, then afternoon nap at 1:00. Then the fun stuff starts! We went to Winlsow to the Stars Studio (because the girls LOVE Peter). He got his first taste of chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream. As you can see my son is NOT a mess. At all. He was on a sugar high for the next 2 days after this!

*He also got a Tonka truck from Talan, and his favorite part is the plastic orange rake that came with it. He carries it all over the house and tries to stick it in outlets, boxes, mouths, trash cans, dog water or anything else he can think of!

*The other event of the week was a visit to Dr. Austin for shots and a check up. I thought Pete was getting huge! Apparently, I was mistaken. He weighs 20lbs 6 oz and is 29 inches long. That puts him in the 25% for both weight and height. His head circumference is in the 75% though. I guess its like father like son...

Stars Competition 2009

The madness is here! And almost over already! This is my last season for a while teaching dance. I am going to miss it so much. We had regional competition last weekend here in Flagstaff. Our team did awesome! We won our division for Best Show with "Welcome To My Nightmare". (I will try to post the video of it later, but I am sworn to secrecy on it until after Nationals!) The girls were amazing and they really worked hard and danced their hearts out on Saturday. I was so proud of them and am looking forward to Nationals in Vegas in June.
