My first post

So I have finally made a blog. I know crazy huh??? But I decided it was time so here we go.
I have also decided to try and learn a new thing each month. I was going to shoot for one each week but I am giving myself some slack for just having a baby so I decide to change it to a month. So I will list some of the ones I have done so far.

Taking care of a little boy:

So Chris and I only have girl babies or so I thought and then BAM...we find out we are having a boy. We were so excited and scared. I was really worried about raising a boy. Would I have to call him dude all of the time??? and would it be really weird to change his diapers etc etc. I worried endlessly. Well I love it!! I do call him dude but b/c I like to and I am figuring out all of the boy stuff so far. I know I have a lot to learn. And kudos to me b/c he has only peed on me once Yay!!!! And Chris has been peed on a bunch. Hee Hee

Playing the game Rock Band: So I have an awesome friend who has game day at her house every Tuesday where she has a zillion kids come and play and let's us adults come to and we play card games and other fun games. So I had never tried the rock band thing..everyone raves about it but I have never got on board. So I have finally done it!!!! And I will have to say I am really bad but I had fun. I liked the drums and singing the best.

Playing cards: So growing up we could not have face cards in our home...way long story....but that makes me completely ignorant of any and all card games. Thanks to my friends and game day, I have now been completely corrupted :) Hee heee hee . I can actually play a game called Rook. My friends are all pros and amazing and I know that I slow them down but I am so happy to say that I now know what the face cards are called and what order they go in..A special Thanks to Niki, Linz and Brit!!!!

Reserving a book online: Ok I know this sounds lame but I have never done this so I did it!! Super easy and way effective, I was able to go online reserve it and just breeze into the library and pull it off a shelf and snap I was done :)

How to fix a broken Flat screen:

Ok long story, our flat screen TV died..it was not the best brand but hey is was on sale and we got it way back when Chris was in Medical School so it held good memories...so one morning we awoke and tried to turn it on and it would not turn on. The light would turn green for a sec and then it would just die...AAAAHHH I was so mad. So Chris and I took it apart and I tried to fix it. I started researching the brand and how it works. So far I have learn about how diodes work and that our power supply unit is most likely broken. side note ...Radio shack will test your dioxides for you if you play the airhead girl for them. :> So far no success but I will keep you posted.

It is Great to Be Eight!!!

Sadie turned eight and was baptized in Jan.

Ok I cannot believe that my baby is 8!!! Time has flown so fast. I love her so much. She is smart and sweet and a joy to raise. She makes Chris and I look good as parents and not b/c we have done anything. That is just Sadie. She had a great baptism. We had our family and friends here and it was perfect. I asked her a few weeks before who she wanted to speak at her baptism etc. and her response was Mom, you cannot rush these things I need to pray about it. To which I replied of course……..what a great kid.

So she picked her first primary teacher here in Riverview and her Aunt Jessica. They both did a wonderful job and I am so grateful to them. We also had a great friend lend us the beautiful dress she wore and volunteer to make these cute little treats, for everyone. Donuts with a cute message attached”Donut you know you made the day special” So cute!!! And 50 plus she made!! Man I have wonderful friends!!!!

Wyatt’s blessing

We also blessed my little guy the same weekend. Chris gave a beautiful blessing. Wyatt is a sweet and happy baby. I am absolutely wrapped around his finger. He actually has all of wrapped around his finger. Boy he is going to be spoiled.

So Wyatt has a lot of nick names, I thought I would give a few of them:

Judge: Back-story…..when we gave him his first bath his hair got all curly. The girls squealed he has judge hair. And started saying hey little judge and well it stuck so if you hear us calling him judge you will know why.

Littlest outlaw-We owe this name to Uncle Dave J and I love it. I think I will have a sign made to put in his room.

Wiley Wabbit-I made this one up..hey I like the Elmer Fudd.

We looked!

Then we saw him

step in on the mat!

We looked!

And we saw him!

The Cat in the Hat"

It was Dr. Seuss's B-day this week so Ana could dress up as the cat in the hat..I think I did a pretty good job with her outfit..she was not to thrilled but she wore it.
