Holy Awesome

Quote from the Artist:

"I recycle old unwanted paintings or drawings and make them new again! Imagine a 70’s painting with dull trees, lack luster stream and horribly faded pinkish mountains in the background. Nobody wants that unless the real Bob Ross comes with it! 
Now imagine that same painting but with a slew of bloody zombies coming right at you. Who wouldn’t want to keep these old relics out of the landfill and onto their walls? All my painting and drawings are inspired by creepy mythological (and some I am certain are real) creatures."

So I'm pretty excited for the upcoming Craft Lake City, and I'm looking for volunteers to accompany me!?!?

He looks real cute

He can sit up on his own

He's pensive (thanks 10 Things I Hate About You)

He has real blue eyes

He sleeps real cute

Lunch

Wilson had a wonderful time munching on spinach and tomatoes for lunch. He pretty much immediately pushed the cheese off the tray... Well, really he pushed pretty much everything off the tray except one tomato slice and one spinach leaf. This morning he did the same thing with the eggs and most of the toast I gave him. He's a champ.

Awesome Mother Award

So imagine you have your baby nestled into his carseat sitting on the top basket of this little baby....

Got it? Okay... then imagine you are pushing it through the parking lot back to the cart return. So "this women I know" was doing this and not paying attention to where she was going, when lo and behold the front wheel goes into a HUGE crack in the pavement tipping the cart forward and shooting the carseat WITH baby out onto the pavement where it rolls a couple of times... To top it off there were about six people that witnessed this and came running to make sure the baby was okay. 

Luckly Wilson, (well of course it was me) was sound asleep and strapped in very snug and slept through the whole thing. 

I'm Back

I was gone for two and a half weeks if you didn't notice. I went on a SUPER vacation with Wilson back to Arizona. I stayed with my sister for a few days in Glendale and then we drove up to the Steele Family cabin for the annual two week extravaganza... (which is usually three weeks, but oh well). This is the first year that I'm not working so I actually got to stay the whole time with the family rather than the lame weekend that I stayed the other years...

So what happened?

- My nephew Gavin got baptized
- Hiked Escudilla
- Walked to Tin Star
- Went grocery shopping with Tripp
- Hiked to the lakes behind the cabin
- Took pictures
- Got the flu for the first time since I can't even remember
- Watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (Funny)
- Remembered how amazing the first Willy Wonka is (Hilarious)
- Fell in love with the game Canasta (group anyone???)

- Turned my body to mush with a too soft bed that I shouldn't have convinced my family to let me have

- Almost won Settlers of Catan
- Watched Tripp drop trou and pee right in front of me (really, at me)
- Looked at the stars
- Counted down the hours until Ryan got there
- Drove to St. George
- Took Wilson swimming for the first time

And now I'm home... Which I'm pretty happy about, my bed is amazing. Maybe I'll post pictures. Maybe I won't. I'm too tired right now and need to just go to sleep.

So Stinkin' Cute

Thought I'd do a little comparison. The first picture was taken January 8th (one month)

This picture was taken June 27th. (6 1/2 months)

He as definitely filled out. He has much more personality, and he is STILL stinking adorable.

Unfortunately he has lost his red hair... sad day.

Happy Guy

This is how this guy wakes up from his naps... which is wonderful. This morning I even heard him awake and just jabbering away by himself until Ryan decided he wanted to bring him in our bed and cuddle. He's still pretty easy to get to sleep, it's just staying asleep that's the problem. He'll  wake up every 3-5 hours during the night to eat. This is when I wish I was still nursing, because waking up and making a bottle is just annoying.  And he DOES NOT wake up this happy when he's hungry....
