Yes, we are still alive!

Wow-- I know, long time no post!  It's been a bit hectic.  Here's a pic from this past weekend.  I went to Utah for my little sis' first tiem through the temple.  It was a great weekend and I loved every minute w/ my family.  Felt like a little girl again!  Especially with Mike teasing me. ;)


I'm going to try and post a bunch of stuff one day.  But it probably won't be soon... so I am not making any promises!

Hugs from the kid who doesn't like my hair...

See this guy?

This darling boy in snow clothes and cowboy boots?  Well, he is the BEST hugger ever.  Today after his playdate with Casan, he came home, promptly went potty, and then told me he was going upstairs to take his nap.  I crouched down to talk to him and give him a hug and kiss and tell him how proud I was of his potty skills and he hugged me OVER AND OVER AND OVER.  It was one of those moments when you drink it all in and try and burn that image and feeling in your mind and on your heart so you'll remember it forever.  My mind flew forward 10 years when he's a 13 year old (got one of those!) who doesn't want to hug his mom OVER AND OVER AND OVER like this lovey "almost 3 year old" does.  Enjoy it now Julie.  Take every hug you get and cherish it.  And cherish I did.  Just as I savored when he told me this morning, "I love your face mom!!!"  Couldn't you just eat him up?

What if I hadn't bent down to his level and just told him to go upstairs for his nap?  I would have missed out on one of the SWEETEST memories of my motherhood journey.

I love you huggy Bauer boy!

p.s. I forgive you for slicing up your jeans.  Thank you for cutting up the Children's Place ones and not my favorite of your H&M hand-me-down jeans from cousin Dalin. :)

Saving & spending...

Got back $7.24... in other words, they paid me to take these items out of the store.
$14.00-- ($1 per box!) and yes, we will eat that much Special K... at least a box a day!

$1.45 and that's only because I had to buy the gum so it wouldn't be in the negative.

Good thing I saved so much-- Bauer decided to alter his jeans this morning while I was changing laundry and washing dishes.  Guess that's what I get for letting him watch me sew.

Potty Talk...

I'm sitting here in front of the potty while Bauer is trying to perform... I can't type fast enough to record this hilarious conversation- where is my video camera!?!?!?

*I've gone back and done Bauer's words in Blue and mine in Green.*

Mom, can I get off now?
No- you need to go poop.
PLEASE!?!?  You're my friend.
No.
PLEASE!  I like you!
No.
Mom, do you have boobies?
Yes.
I just have Chets.
You have what? (thinking he said "tits." GAG)
Chets.
WHAT?
CHEST.
Oh, (whew!) Yes, you have a chest.
MOM!  I just did more toots!  Can I get off now?
No.
Mom, I'm your friend.  I like your hair. Can I get off?
No.
I don't like your hair.  Can I watch a movie?
No.
Come on.  Press the button.  Do it.  Press it mom.
I don't have a movie Bauer, this is my computer.
Ok, can I get off now? (clapping out of boredom).
Bauer, just do it.  Do lots of toots.
I can do burps.  EEEEHHHHH (burp)  I did it!!!  Can I get off now?
No.
AAAAAHHHHH!  I just did burps.  I want to see dad.
I want to see poop in the potty.
I can't mom.
Yes you can.
See- (grunting noise) it hurts mom.  I can't do it.  Can I get off now?  Please!
(smiling) You can do it!
Don't mom.  Don't smile.  You'll be in time out!  Don't smile.  Smile at my face. Now do an angry one. (i do it)Now do a pirate one.
A pirate?  How do I do a pirate one?
He shows me with one eye closed and the mouth all skiwampas (sp?). I try.
Now do a turtle one.
How do I do a turtle one?
You go like: "It's a turtle one!!!"
Me: "It's a turtle one!!!"
No- it's like turbo time one. (thankee Jingle all the Way movie).
IT'S TURBO TIME!
No- "IT'S TURBO TIME!" (complete with hands on hips.)
- hold on, must pause typing to put my hands on my hips... "IT'S TURBO TIME!!"  Did I do good?
Yeah.  Can I get off now?
Yes.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, the joys of potty training.  4 down, 2 to go!
