No time for school!

Finally I can get to the stuff they keep on the table!

I am helping mommy & Adrienne in the yard! 

The ugly purple things my mom dug up!
I love being out side.  I will take one sock or one shoe (he knows now he needs shoes and socks to go out side) to have some one help put it on, once it is on I am all ready to go play! This is the one day Boise got over 80 degrees!
Mom is watering all the flowers we planted...I think running under this cold water is fun.  This day the high was 68 degrees.








"No I won't lay my head back because then I might go to sleep"






Dang I fell asleep anyway!

Fun at the park!

So my big brother has a blanket that has perfume on it, and it gave my mom a head ache, so she took me to the park to make her head feel better!

Adrienne came with us and she is taking a nap!











Look my daddy is here!


 
Happy hour at Sonic....Even I get a drink!


I got my drink all over my clothes, and I am very tired, But had a blast!

Outside with the Dogs

Really he is not in attack mode...just barking excitedly!  When he sees a ball he want to go get it really badly! And Edward loves to get the reaction!
Edward is just as serious about this as Moe is!

Yes Moe can catch it with in inches of Edward hand....(I hope he never gets the hand)





A rare occurence



I have been working on getting him to take one nap a day.  Starting on Thursday I started keeping him up and not letting him nap until after lunch.  Come Sunday things were going pretty good and he was taking one 1 1/2 to 2 hour nap each day.  Great he should sleep through sacrament meeting.  Well he slept 45 minutes to an hour.  I guess it wasn't enough.  Oh he had been waking up about 2 times each night, except Sunday.  He woke up at 2 then 3 then 4:30, at that point I brought him to bed with me and held him and he slept till 7.  I really think I was more tired that him.

Trevor's turn to chase the little monkey!



Then did a bunch of drills

When we were all done we had 1.5 hours to get home and get Trevor and Braden ready for camp.

Me or IT????

So last week we had a few really nice days it even broke 80 a couple days. Then this morning we wake up to rain and dang cold!  Mr weather man says we will hover in the low 60 for a few days, my sister call it "spring is summer fighting with winter and summer always wins in the end" I am just wondering when?  Well because of this fabulous cold snap we had a visitor this morning....

Not  this guy but one like him
 I was getting Edward fed, and cleaning up in the kitchen.  I turn around and I see this guy running across the floor.  First I scream, Edward just copies me and laughs, and Adrienne is dead to the world, like me being killed by this thing would even bother her.   Thankfully Edward threw my flip flop over the gate the day before, so I skillfully toss it onto the spider.  Then I watch...will it just keep going pulling the flip flop along with it?  Is it waiting to see if something more will come raining down on it....nothing it doesn't move, and well neither do I.   What next do I look to see if I actually got the thing, leave it till the boys come home, or get the courage to step on it.

Well today I feel like the elephant, after I got the courage to actually put the flip flop on, I wiped it across the cold wet lawn on the way to the car (not the one pictured above)!

20 years today


So today when Trevor got home we originally were going to go to a driving range and practice golf....with my thumb in a brace that wasn't going to work to well. (I strained it during Oliver eagle project and it wasn't getting better) So we went to a movie. We went and saw "Something Borrowed". If you have seen the previews you have seen the movie, not worth watching, But is was fun just hanging out with Trevor. We have been using quicken for forever to balance the checkbook, and we keep having to up date it ever 2-3 years, we got sick of it and we decided to try a new program called (YNAB) you need a budget.  There was a webanar about it at 7:30, so  we rushed home to catch it, and well it was 7:30 eastern time so we missed it. However we discovered our or babysitter wasn't babysitting very well, all she wanted to do was watch movies online, and hadn't even fed the poor little guy (I guess that is what you get for free baby sitting)  So Trevor and I decided to go get some dinner and since Edward hadn't eaten we took him with us.  (Adrienne is a good baby sitter, and had just finished finals today, and needed a good vegging party)
Yes we have a Cafe Rio in Boise now.  It opened around the first of the year!  Ever since we went after Michelle's baptism in Logan, I have wanted to take Trevor there. 
He had a really good time, and was really good while we ate.  He found it was really cool to hit the edge of the plate and make his food go air born!  We got him a quesadilla, and we ordered a pulled pork salad, and a chicken tostada. They were both super yummy, and Edward actually did not like the quesadilla, but he ate our salads.  What can I say the kid has good taste!


Just as we were getting done he started squealing in the high pitched scream.  He thought it was kind of funny the little turkey.   I hurried and cleaned up his mess, while Trevor finished up his meal.  Over all he was good, and we all had a good time.

Earlier today while I was making lunch, he pulled the tissues off the table, and pulled them all out, and got some other papers off the table, and just laid down on the floor  and was playing with the yellow paper.  He also likes to carry the pet roller around and he rolls it down his clothes front and back it is kind of cute.
