Rediscovering something we already had

We have this amazing deck off of our "master" bedroom.  It has been pilled high with junk and remodeling stuff.  This weekend Mike cleaned it off and added a gate at the top of the stairs and now I have my temporary cage for Cole!  We put his slide up there also and he loves it.  The back of the house has yet to see paint so don't mind the rust. :-)

Cole ran circles around that tree

Mike refers to this as his Matthew McConaughey look.

Pregnancy Rants

1.  If I see another person with one of these in their ear and they are not in a car, I may flip out.  Is it really that bad if you do not have the phone and some one actually has to leave a message?  Are you seriously that important that you can't take that thing out of your ear for a baby shower or your doctors appointment or going for a walk????  

**no offense to any of my friends or family, but seriously do you really need it?

2. I know that there are many things that can make a pregnant woman sick - smells, food, etc... but has anyone besides me almost vomited at the sight of a person?  I know it sounds so bad but I almost vomited (i think I vurped) waiting behind this guy at Jo Ann's fabrics last night.

3. I don't like the fact that it was hard to get my pants buttoned.  I am blaming it on the fact that they were recently washed and they are always snug until you do the squatting...

River Cats Game

If you have never been to a River Cats game, I strongly suggest that you make the effort to go. 

We were in the 7th row, third base line side.

Such a deal for $17 seat.  Seriously!

Me, being the optimistic person that I am, saw this site of Cole and Mike and I thought "Wow, he is really going to pay attention" being that this is his 5th River Cats game, however it is his first one where he is mobile.

still paying attention....

Ok, so that lasted all of 5 minutes.

He proceeded to get his head stuck attempting the escape.

I actually had a lady comment to me how cute he was and then say "I can't believe you actually brought him with you?!"  Don't worry mom, you taught me well, be kind to your elders, so I politely stated that the tickets were free and if we didn't try then how would we know if he would behave?  What pregnant Aimee wanted to say was....."So are we supposed to leave our children locked up and not take them anywhere?"

See I kept a smile on my face!

Having a diaper bag allows you to smuggle in the best stuff.

Rubios kids meal

Pretty much what Cole looked like after 9 pm.  

I think we had the meanest drunk at the game.

In awe over the blimp advertising tires

If you can't read the score board it says 15 - 0 and not in the favor of the River Cats.

If I didn't know any better I'd think we were at a Kings game....

Some good friends found us

And of course every Saturday home game ends with fireworks

Cole was practically asleep when they were over.

Can I work a fireworks display ever night at our house in to the budget????

Is it a boy or girl.... part 1

So I had the first "is the baby a boy or girl dream last night".  

Boy - 1

Girl - 0

Help! I've been blinded.

Well, maybe if you woke up at a normal time like most other kids (when the suns up) the bright bathroom light at 5:30 am would not hurt your eyes so much. 

Really? Can't it snow?

It's days like today that make me want.....

...days like this. And most of you know I am not a fan of the snow.

Our home in the snow

It must be that hot!

The Bathroom

It was a year ago this week that we FINALLY finished our bathroom remodel.

Ok, there are still some parts that are not complete, but who really notices the trim behind the toilet or under the cabinet????

BEFORE

AFTER

This is after we had no bathroom for 6 weeks!  It was our only bathroom.  So welcome to the world of peeing outdoors in the middle of the night and showering next door.  And we took this on with a 3 month old??????

What are you wearing?

So I think it is safe to say that my mommy was NOT the one who dressed me today

Lazy and HOT Sunday

notice the huge tear

One pissed off little boy

Can't figure out why he hates going in the pool

Finally happy after about 10 minutes

Onyx enjoying the pool action

eyes, nose and mouth all at once

dads nose

Our attempt at getting a good mom and son picture.

Can't you tell how much he loves taking pictures with me???

Made 3 peach pie fillings

Exhausted from a long day of Trader Joes and swimming

What we have decided.....

The Tomato Scandal

A certain curly haired boy has been spotted taking bites out of tomatoes and then walking away

Mining for gold

Diaper....less

I find that I learn better when I am naked.

*It finally happened, Cole has learned to take off his diaper.  It happened once on Sunday and we thought it was a fluke, but unfortunately for us it is now a common occurrence.
