Music... cleanses my spirit and frees my soul.
Confession: I love hip hop. Not for the crappy repetitive lyrics, but for the beat. Part of me feels that I was supposed to be a black back up dancer. I envy the girls on "So you think you can dance" and I am in awe of their dance skills. There is something about the beat that gets even the cells in my body jumping. Tonight I danced... all around my house, turned the music up and did my thing. I danced around, laughed at myself and felt totally fine. I think I might do it every night. Some of my favs (not all are hip hop): Justin Timberlake (duh!), Missy Elliot, Eve, Britney Spears, Kevin Rudolf, Keyshia Cole, Rihanna, Ying Yang Twins... among many more. Anything that gets my head bobbing! Some of my favorite memories were making up dances in Linnea's family room to Britney Spears, driving around in Kylie's car blasting and dancing to Britney (see a pattern) or dancing with the girls at the club. We always had so much fun! But life changes, however my not so secret love of dancing and hip hop music will most likely stay the same!

Ew!!!
When I got home from work today I put a box of garbage on my patio so that after I had dinner and did the bedtime routine with Wyatt I could walk it to the dumpster. So I go outside on the patio, pick up the box and set it over on the steps, look up and BAM! Right there on the wall. Is this not the ugliest thing in America?
Seriously, these pictures don't even do the damn thing justice. Pardon me. But I am beyond freaked out at this point. I found some ant and cockroach RAID in my closet and I went to town!! He is now in a pool of Raid out on my patio. EW! I'm so creeped out. I keep shaking my hair and I'm all itchy now. I hate this feeling. Anyway... Jenn thinks that it could be a HOBO spider... so i did a little googling.
It's definitely a possible match! YIKES! Glad he's dead. Thanks for the encouragement Jenn and Linds. Not sure I could have killed him with out your text message support! BLAH!

One step at a time.
I feel like Wyatt's room is going to be a project for the rest of my life. It has been painted now for a few months and I've been searching for the right cowboy bedding. With absolutely no luck. I found the cutest sheets at Target that are for a full bed, and after much debating and searching, I decided to get them and make them work. I mean look how cute they are!
I have decided that I am going to go to the fabric store to find some cute red fabric to make a sort of slip cover for the bumper that I have already. So I'm pretty excited and am hoping it all turns out way cute.
Things that are new in Wyatt's world! He has started to sign "milk" and what I believe is "dirty". It's really fun to watch him grow and learn. These little ones are so smart and know exactly what's going on. It amazes me. He has learned that he gets in trouble when he climbs up on the coffee table, so it wasn't long before he made his way onto the couch. He loves to point at you when he talks to you, as if he's making some big important speech! He loves when you hide around a corner and yell "boo" at him and we can thank Jenn for that one. He thinks it's so funny and it's a game they play when she comes over to hang out. He also ADORES Shaun, Jenn's husband! They are the best of buddies. And Wyatt doesn't really just walk anywhere now... he runs! He's a speedy little thing and thankfully good on his feet, we haven't had any major accidents since he started walking at 9 1/2 months.
Not much is new in my world. My life is consumed of mostly Wyatt, work, a little bit of family and some friends when I get the time. But things are good. I've had one of those "self discovering" moments.. well months really, and it ain't pretty! Don't you hate that? Anyway, I'm excited to get things started and hopefully focus more on myself. Which from what people keep telling me, I completely deserve.
I hope all is well with everyone!

Everyone's favorite little guy!
Yesterday Wyatt and I went to the park for a picnic. It wasn't too hot in the shade and it was nice to be out! In the picture where he is standing between the trees he looks like a headless baby... His head blends into the tree. It's totally creepy, but I thought I should share anyway!
I had to get a picture of his cute new haircut somehow when he wasn't running all over the place, so in his Shrek the Third induced coma I was able to get a few!
This is Wyatt's fun new trick! CLIMBING! Look away grandma. I knew this day would come sooner or later. So all day today we've played "get on the table and you go to your crib". It makes him pretty dang mad and he knows that he needs to be quiet about it too. I will turn my head for two seconds, turn around, and he's already standing up there. So we might be putting the coffee table away again if I can't break the habit.

pondering.
no matter how hard you try to change someone, they never will
letting go of your first love will always be the hardest
knowing your first love wasn't what you thought is like a slap in the face
just because you love someone doesn't mean you're supposed to be together
bringing a life into this world is amazing and scary as hell all at the same time
waking up in the morning is so much sweeter when you have a little one
crying is okay and most of the time much needed
not everyone will believe what you have to say, and that's okay
finding yourself will be a life long venture, so enjoy it.
finding someone to be with will probably be a venture as well, but well worth it
don't give up on who you are and the things you stand for
just because you don't agree with someone's views, doesn't mean you can't love them
don't try to be someone you're not, it always gets you in the end
ice cream is ALWAYS good and cures everything... for the moment
if you don't truely forgive someone from your heart, you'll never truely let it go
everyone is here to live their own life... so let them
everyone has their own opinion, doesn't mean it always needs to be shared
you are the creator of your own world....create wisely

spirit found.
We are back from our little vacay! It was so much fun to be with friends and away from work! I wish that we could have spent more time by the pool, but all in all it was great. I learned how ugly Vegas is, that the restaurant Buffalo's should be non-existent, and was reminded of how much I really do not like being in long car rides!
Me hating the car, I get so restless!
We are here!! Wyatt is trying his hardest to get away from me, but I got the pic!
We found the cutest hat in Walmart (It's all they have out there!!) And I had a heck of a time trying to get him to wear it the whole time. I wasn't going to let that dollar go to waste!
I'm sad that we didn't get any pictures of Jackson and Wyatt together. Wyatt just loves Jackson! But I think he pushed the boundaries a little with his cute buddy. He liked to give hugs and then body slam him. So most of the time Jackson was trying to avoid the craziness!
I am grateful for the time away that I had and such a fun time with friends. Hopefully I will get more of these trips in!
Oh and Wyatt has also had his first haircut. He looks so dang cute! I was a little hesitant to cut it at first, but it was getting out of control. I will have to document pictures of that AND his birthday a month ago! So stay tuned =)
Wyatt with mommy's shades on, which later exploded in the car due to extreme temperatures. No joke!

Wyatt by the awesome pool. It was about nap time, but he was such a champ!
