Love

Just this last weekend we had all the grandkids pictures taken kinda for Easter and as my mom pointed out a great mothers day present! Kate's friend Jodi did their pictures and I absolutely love them, they all turned out so great and I'm way excited to have her do our pictures in the future. Here are a few of them that I absolutely adore. I'm so glad Wyatt was so calm, he had about a 20 minute nap before we had to be there. It's was a fun day, we even were chased around by a peacock. I think they are a little territorial. Anyway, here are a few of the pictures!

Andrea tagged me, so you guys get to hear 7 weird and random facts about me.

1. I love Ranch Dressing. Or as the nieces and nephew call it "dippy". Amy likes to tease me about this endlessly. "RANNNNNNCH"

2. I have spurts of OCD where i clean everything spotless. Which takes awhile because I'm usually kind of a pig, It drives me nuts. I wish that I could just maintain normalcy, but it's either one way or the other. I'm working on it.

3. I am trying to eat better. So I will do really good during the day and then at night mess up and have some sort of snack. And then I will stay up two hours after I ate something because it's not good to go to bed right after you eat. It makes your system work harder when it should be resting. Which is why most people wake up tired.

4. I have tasted all off Wyatt's baby food. I now know why he makes the faces he does when he eats the green beans and peas. I would do the same.

5. I am super sassy to my boss sometimes. I don't know what it is, maybe because she's sassy right back? I'm not sure.

6. I have now done something that I have feared doing... and that would be locking my child in the car. It happened just this morning while I ran into the main office to do a few things before heading to my bosses house. All was well, I got all the work done I needed to do. I loaded Wyatt up and shut the door, walked to my side to get in and my side was locked so I walked over to his side and it was locked as well. And I panicked. Wyatt was already crying and upset... long story short the fire department came and saved the day. I usually put my keys on top of my car, but for some reason this time I tossed them on my seat. Wyatt is fine, but he sure was upset. It made me so sad.

7. I am pretty stubborn, never thought I was, but I am.

I tag... Charlie, Tiff, Linnea, Angee, Kylie, and Jenn

The New Office

So everything is going really well. Wyatt gets a nice long nap and had a fun time playing in his little area. He has this little Lion that he pushes around, he's becoming quite the little walker. He also has a grand piano, he seems to like this the best. He laughs and talks when he's playing with it. He's so cute! So this is his little area.

This is my computer desk. The keyboard and mouse part slides in so when you're not using it it's not in your way.
This shows my main desk kinda. I'm not allowed to have anything on this desk. It is just to look pretty... That's according to Jenn, so I guess that I don't have to do any work and just sit here and look pretty. Which I could do.

This is the wall o stuff! Some of those baskets get use... One holds Wyatt's smaller toys and is missing from the picture.

And then here is what it looks like...

I really like this set up. I was so hesitant and really nervous about it. But now I'm totally excited about it. It's quiet here and much easier to work and do my job with Jenn around. And.... Their dog just totally tore up one of Wyatt's diapers from the garbage and it's all over the lawn... Yikes!

The Move

So, it is now official. After months of feeling that it would never happen, and not taking it seriously. We have moved my office to The Gray's house. I woke up bright and early, got showered, woke Wy up and headed over to the office at 8 am. When we showed up the moving truck and Jenn and Kirk were already there. The movers had our offices packed up pretty quick and we were off. It was weird to stand in my empty office and a part of me was sad. I think I will miss everyone stopping in to see us (well we all know they are coming to see wyatt) and going to the office to chat with Wy's favorite Audrey! We have a cubicle, because I will be making stops in the office and maybe even having to do some work too. And it will be super weird not to see Matt that often. Wyatt just loves him! And now he'll have to find new lunch buddies! But my office furniture looks great, it's all set up nice. There are windows everywhere, so no more dark office and Wyatt will actually have room to play and actually see the sun during the day! I think it will be quite the adjustment, but it should work out just fine.

Everything else is pretty good. I am starting to train for The Race for the Cure which is coming up in April. Jenn (not boss, this always confuses my family) and I went running yesterday and holy %&#@! I guess I didn't do as bad as I thought I was going to do, but I will be more excited when it becomes a lot easier. Wyatt really enjoys going out though. He is silent the whole time and just looks all around. He's so cute. I am looking into a jogging stroller because I AM going to become a runner. I know everyone always says that, but it is seriously something I have always wanted to do. So I'm doing it! I really like the Jeep brand, but I am going to keep looking at all my options. I'm pretty excited about it.

My house still has some work to be done. Sometimes I feel like such a slacker, but after my long days and sometimes not getting home until after 6, working on my place is the LAST thing that I want to do. But it will get done. Because I'm starting to really get tired of it not being COMPLETELY done. But it's getting there...

Wyatt is getting funnier and funnier by the day. He just cracks me up! He loves to attack my face with kisses, it's the best thing!

New things about Wyatt:

He now has TWO teeth!

He has started to stand on his own randomly.

He thinks it's funny when I chase him.

He laughs all the time!

When he gets hurt he does not want to be cuddled, just held.

He sleeps on his tummy with his bum in the air at all times!

He loves looking at himself in the mirror. I assume he's pretty excited about what a handsome little guy he is.

His hair is getting longer, and when wet or has gel in it is super curly!

He loves pickles and mustard.

He hates changing his clothes. Sometimes I have to make a game out of it.

He LOVES his baths! He hears that water and he comes a crawlin!

I wish my life was more exciting for everyone else to read about, but it really isn't. Today Drew had his birthday party with his friends and I got a glimpse of what a birthday party for Wyatt in the future will look like... wow... chaos! But it was fun and Andrea did a good job with all his pirate stuff. It was really cute! I even got a skull and cross bones tattoo!

So this is a super long post, sorry! Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Charlie bit my finger - again !

These little boys are so cute. I couldn't stop laughing.

Neighbors

I have this lady who lives in the building just west of mine. You can always tell when she is coming because you can hear her music from about a mile away. I would assume that she is probably in her 50's and could possibly be classified as a legal dwarf. I don't think in the 2.5 years I've lived here have I once seen her smile. But I hope she's enjoying her music. She just got home and was listening to the beach boys. One day I was leaving my complex and coming up to where I turn out of my street, well she was turning onto our street and took the widest turn I've ever seen and then shook her head and gave me a dirty look. I wasn't even in here way, I had slowed down because I saw her coming. Clearly she is not fond of me.

The neighbor directly above me is a nice guy. We always exchange our hello's and then go about what we were doing. His dad lives with him, or he lives with his dad... he claims that his dad had to move in with him and either way I guess it really doesn't matter. I don't think he works though, I know he used to work at the gym, but I think he's just now on disability. At least that's what I've heard. Sometimes I hear him yelling at his dad, and it always makes me a little nervous. Today his dad was coming down the stairs as I was walking towards my place and I smiled and said hello and he just stared at me. I guess it was the wrong thing to say. We walked out of our places at the same time again and I fiddled with my keys so that I wouldn't have to have another awkward crossing.

I've never had good neighbors in the condo next to mine. The first couple that lived there had a little boy, it was his boy, and the girlfriend just wasn't ever that nice to him. I always felt bad. And she didn't like me either. Probably because her boyfriend was always a nice friendly neighbor. She worked at a title company in the same building as I did and we ran into each other a few times, which was always kinda awkward. The neighbors after that were crack heads and the cops were at our place constantly. I called the cops on them a bunch of times and so did various neighbors, but mainly they called on themselves and saved us all the trouble. Nothing like a bunch of cops at 1, 2, 3 in the morning. It only took about 6 months to get them kicked out. The owner had no idea how bad it really was. And this new couple... I've seen him once and he just walked by and ignored me and I've really only seen her through the window. But her daughters cute dad always comes by after work to say hi to her. I think it's so cute. He's a highway patrol man, so the first time he was here to stop by I turned down my street and literally said "not again". I'm grateful he's just the dad and I don't have psychotic neighbors again.

On the top floor there is a lesbian and then next to her this other lady and her son. Both of which I think hate me, or are just really not that friendly. Then next to the dad and son combo is Candace. She basically is my only friend in this whole place. And boy can she talk. I don't know a second where that girl isn't on her phone! She was even talking to me AND on the phone with someone else on her little ear piece. She has the most adorable son julian, I think he's almost 5. There is this guy on the other side of our building who parks right next to me. And for the past 2.5 years he has not once said hi or smiled at me. I used to think he was gay, but then noticed that recently he and the girl he lives next to have a little thing going on. I'm also pretty sure that another guy that lives on that side is my cousin Lynsi's brother in law...

I think people are so interesting. My complex is pretty quiet, and I wish it was a little more upbeat. It would be fun to be able to get together with some of the neighbors. One of the condos just south of mine is for sale... I'm really hoping Mr Tall Handsome Fabulous Husband to be moves buys it. So everyone keep their fingers crossed for me!

Wyatt's Room

So I've FINALLY decided on a theme for Wyatt's room. It is going to be a cowboy theme. I got the idea off of someone else's blog that was sport themed, but they had awesome black and white photos of old sports legends... so I'm going to do the same with cowboys... here are a few posters that I found. I think they are awesome!

Wyatt Earp

(Obviously have to have this!)

John Wayne

John Wayne... He's so handsome!

Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid

The Magnificent Seven

His walls will basically be a tan color with that cool technique where it looks suede! And I'll incorporate some red in there somehow and some browns. I was thinking to buy some of those vinyl stars; like the ones that will be on his name board; in red to put around the room.... I'm really excited about this! It will be fun. I think the bedding will be the hardest to find. All the cowboy stuff is too... not me I guess. But I'm super super excited about it! I hope that I can start to paint pretty soon. I keep searching the internet for stuff that I can do. It's going to be awesome.
