Life These Days

Life these days has been pretty eventful. We've gone and fed the ducks.

Nixon loved throwing the bread to the ducks.
He threw a huge meltdown fit when it was time to leave.
The fit included melting to the ground which then led to him getting duck poop all over himself.
It was great.

Nixon has loved helping daddy with his fire homework.
Nic had to do some simulation fires with different things and Nixon was in awe.
I love that Nixon is in his diaper outside hanging out with daddy.

I took Nixon to The Little Gym in Orem for a free trial class.
He absolutely loved it.
He was in heaven.
He could run around and jump and fall into things and he didn't get hurt or get in trouble for it.
Why wouldn't he love it?!?!
I'm totally sold on the place.
Nic isn't at all.
So we'll see what we decide to do. HAHA.

They had super cute little kid music playing the whole time and Nixon loves to dance.
And check out how red his cheeks are.
He gets red, just like his momma, when he gets hot.

We've been having lots of fun these days.
I'm sad that summer's pretty much over.
But I love fall and am super excited for all the holidays which mean the baby's coming soon!
I need idea's of how to keep a 2 year old who loves to be outside entertained during the winter.
All idea's are welcomed!!

A Late 20 Month Post

Here's our little man.

He loves to put on our shoes.

He especially loves to wear daddy's shoes and his hats.

He's so big and so much fun.

I'm pretty way behind on doing his monthly posts, but life has been crazy busy lately and I've just gotten behind. But it's ok.

For my sake, I have to do a list of things he's doing these days. I don't even know where to begin and I'm sure I'll leave things out. Oh well.

Here goes..

-loves to help daddy mow the lawn

-LOVES to ride the 4 wheeler....I think it's his favorite thing

-loves to sweep

-loves to help mommy vacuum...he gets his little toy vacuum out every time I vacuum

-loves to help me unload the dishwasher

-loves to help me do laundry...he like to throw the clothes in the washer and then he loves to help me load the clothes into the dryer

-loves his little red and yellow little tykes car

-is able to tell us what he wants and what he doesn't want

-is still a great nap taker and sleeper at night

-knows all of his body parts

-points to my belly then kisses it when we ask him where the baby is

-loves to read books before bedtime

-won't start eating his food until we say a prayer...he'll sit there with his arms folded and wait

-Grandma taught him to say GOOOOO Cougars and pump his fist in the air while doing it and now he does it ALL the time

-as soon as I take a picture of him he has to look at it on the camera or my phone

-loves to watch nature and hunting shows with daddy

-he still whines a lot

He's seriously getting so big and growing up so fast.

He's not my baby anymore.

He's a little boy.

It makes me kinda sad, but I LOVE seeing him learn new things everyday.

He's so much fun to be with.

I love being able to spend so much time with him.

He knows how to push my buttons...that's for sure.

I run out of patience with him sometimes.

He makes me tired these days.

It's all worth it though.

Especially when we randomly says "Luh Loo" (love you).

We laugh together all the time.

He's so entertaining to be around.

Nic and I are so lucky.

We love this little guy so much.

We can't wait to see him be a big brother.

We have a lot to be thankful for, that's for sure!!!

First Sewing Experience

So for most of you that know me, you know that I'm not a very creative person and I'm not a crafty person, although I SO wish I was. Well, my mom invited me to her enrichment night Tuesday night because they were making hair accessories and I was so excited to go to learn how to make some cute stuff for the baby. I was so surprised at how easy they were. I can't wait to make more!

Here's the first thing I made. We bought her a super cute dress that this is going to look so cute with!! I was seriously so excited about it. HAHA.

And this is the other one I made that night.

My mom made these two. We were both seriously so excited to make them and we were so excited at how easy they were to make.

Thanks for letting me tag along mom!!!!
