It's Almost Time

IT never fails. Every morning like clockwork.

4:14am. On the dot. One of the many middle of the night bathroom breaks. But this one is different. It's always at the same time. And I ALWAYS fail to fall back asleep. Why? Could it be because of THIS...?

Not just the size of IT, although I do sometimes think I need to wake Tyson and ask him to roll me over. But IT'S also got an attitude. IT gets hungry.
I keep a glass of water next to the bed (probably one big reason I wake up so many times during the night anyways....).
Because I am so lazy, when IT gets hungry, I simply try to fill IT up with water. It never works. So I lay there. For hours (I admit, there have been a few times I gave in to IT and found a snack, which usually makes IT happy and I am then able to sleep). This then results in falling back to sleep about 1/2 an hour before te alarm goes off. Then I get up and feed IT
When will IT stop growing? When will IT let our baby boy out?
What will he be like? Will he be just like his DAD? I hope so.
But wait! I still havn't changed a diaper. I still know absolutly nothing about babies. I still have never actually baby sat.
Maybe he is safer in IT. Maybe he should stay in a little bit longer.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER!!!

For you I baked this cake and ate half of it, so in a way, you could say I threw you a party. It was one heck of a party too.

Happy birthday to you,
you live in a zoo.
You look like a monkey....

Happy Birthday from the tiny heinies in the mountains(I was thinkin for a while there you might get to share your birthday...ha!)

For Brittany

OK Britt...here's the blog you've been waiting for. I hope it's as wonderful as you were imagining...

But just to remind you that we weren't always doing wierd things that night...

awwww....how sweet.

Baby update: Holy Cow 30 days!!! Went to the dr yesterday. He said the little guy has a very strong heartbeat. Everythings looking good and he expects no problems!

The Story

We've all seen it happen.

Once the bug bites, there is no cure.

And its not the cheapest bug to be bitten by, thats for sure.

But no matter what we all say, deep down we all want to be bitten, and it doesn't take much to get excited about it.

For the past few months, he's been thinking. The thinking very quickly turned into looking. And, as the case usually goes, the looking soon turned into buying.

After several attempts to get "the perfect deal", we took a trip to the big city.

I said: If we're going all the way down there (again) we better come back with an awesome one.

He said: Don't worry, I'm gonna find a good one.

So off we went, us, Chad, Britt, and Steve. It was snowing, but the weather soon cleared and turned into a beautiful sunshine day. A good sign.

We made it all the way there, and after a little bit of an accidental detour, made it to the first stop.

"That's sweet! he said.

"Cool!" the other he said.

"Lets take it out" the other he said.

So off they went. Soon back again, all three had the same response, an offer was made, and was quickly rejected.

We'll come back.

So off we went again, to the next stop. One problem. We don't know where the next stop is. Soon stuck in traffic forever. Finally moving again.

"Oops, I think we went too far. Lets head back. "

Lots of arguing. From every direction in the car.

"Lets call for directions"

Phone call made. LONG list off instructions, most of which were not heard/remembered.

Stop for directions. 2 times. No speak/understand english. 2 times.

Drive too far again. Stop and ask for directions

Drive around some more. The pregnant one getting slightly cranky. Why did no one bring a map?

Stop for directions. Drive around some more, end up going in circles, call for directions again. Turn around, head back, finally find destination(two hours later).

Finally find what we've been looking for.

"We're not going home empty handed" said the cranky one.

Offer made, rejected, counter offer, accepted. Finally, this nightmare is over.

Realize wallet is missing. Panic. Drive back to lot. Not there.

Drive back to other lot, find way into first Jeep. Find wallet in cup holder. Panic subsides. Very thankful.

Head home. Below zero. Heater is not working.

Get home, can't feel feet.

Still smiling.

More to Come

We've added another to the collection.

JUST KIDDING.

Seriously though.
