Friday- Left Provo, accompanied by The All American Rejects “Gives You Hell.”  Camper slept all day, was up during the evening, slept all night in a beautiful hotel (in bed with Mommy and Daddy) with a morning breakfast buffet consisting of many wonderful sausages and yummy eggs.  And good juice.  And lots of skiers.  Sleeping [...]

And the person who lets the baby lick the taco gets to sit with him as he farts in the back of the car.

Day 3?  Have we really been driving for three days already?  I’m loving visiting with my Auntie, Camper is still dream baby traveller.  I’m getting really excited for the end of the road, not unpacking that truck though.  Yuck.  And also…it is VERY cold outside.  Like 1 degree.  Windchill -1384.
I am also turning into my [...]

So we got out.  It was a no coat day, so when school let out Camper and I strolled around to scope out the families walking around.  It was nice.  We walked around a wee neighborhood that I never went into before.  It was just like Reading, England!  Lots of interconnected houses with walkways winding [...]

Not Wigged out in the Least

The Thanksgiving Holiday was a good one.  My Mom-in-law thought that I might have been wigged out by the reservation, and I was thinking I might be, to be honest.  We didn’t experience any pan handling or get chased by any stray rez dogs (even though there was a beautiful blue boxer mix that I [...]

I woke up rather early today, as most days…because of my beautiful baby boy and his feeding habits.  For all those who are interested, we took him for his 2 month appointment yesterday.  He weighs 12 lbs. 2 oz., and is 24 inches long.  When he was born he was 8 lbs. 11 oz. and [...]

We had a date night tonight.  An honest to shiz date night, with a babysitter and all.  Our next door neighbors (young grandparent types, good with kids) offered to watch Camper for us and we actually took them up on it. After finding Lenka on VH1 (thank goodness for early morning music videos) we found [...]

Daddy’s Voting Buddy

I hope you all got out and voted today! We took Camper- he seemed a little upset not to be able to participate.  I really dug the new voting booths.  Less confining, automated, and easy to review your choices.  All in all a good experience.  As for who I voted for, it’s not secret, although [...]

I just went and got Camper out of his crib and he is snoozing next to me as I write this.  Tip for first time parents: get a bouncy chair!  We bought a swing and called it good, but then I realized: what if I have to go to the bathroom?  Or wash dishes?  Am [...]

There are cabbage leaves in my bra.

Not sure there is a whole lot more to say about that.  We’ve decided that for the sake of sanity and for the sake of loving my angel baby with fearing him (I wish I could blog the sound he makes as he attacks my boob without restraint), we’re going the bottle route.  So now [...]

Whenever I Think of Easter Eggs I Remember the Time My Cat Got Attacked by a Raccoon

It’s been a silly day. I was up for awhile this morning writing and enjoying the thunder/lightening storm outside. It was seriously chilly this morning- around 50 degrees. You can’t even imagine how happy that made me. When I finally started to go in and out of the my room getting [...]
