Life in our home

2012-01-13T21:08:00.002-07:00

First of all, I can't believe I went this long without blogging. Holey moley. Anyway moving on. Well, Wyatt is 2, and acting every inch of it. He is funny, and loving, and awesome. We've seen Kacy again, and our photos are awesome as usual. Wyatt is in 24 mos/2T, almost exclusively 2T. His vocabulary is through the roof! I am amazed sometimes at the things he says. Wise

101 in 1001 - Goal #78 and #93 Completed

2011-05-19T22:16:00.001-07:00

Goal # 93 - Take Wyatt too the zoo I'm a little behind on this one, but we''ve been to 3 zoos now. The Phoenix, San Fransisco and San Diego. We went to the SF Zoo before we got our new camera, so no pics from there, but here are some pics from the other 2. Phoenix Zoo: San Diego Zoo: Goal #78 - Take Webster to Sea World

101 in 1001 - Goal #10 Completed

2011-05-19T21:29:00.000-07:00

Goal #10: Cloth diaper for a year. We have officially cloth diapered Wyatt for 18 months, and still going strong. I love cloth diapering. I am so glad that we made this choice. It's simple, its easy, and it's friendly on the environment, and our wallets! I will say that we do use sposies (disposables) as well, but only at night, and while our AIO are in the wash. We use them at night because I

Coming back to life

This is going to be pretty picture heavy, but I figure thats all you guys really care about anyway. ;) We've had a pretty busy past few months. We've taken our back yard from this: To this:To this:And finally, to this! We had a very busy Holiday season! We looked at Christmas lights.... And spent time with family. We went to the zoo, with Wyatts best friend Hosanna. And hung out with Lisa

Big Day!

2011-05-17T19:01:00.001-07:00

It's been far too long since I updated! I only have a minute, so I won't even be able to give it the attention it's due, but here goes. Wyatt is sneaking up on 19 months. We're in swim class now, and he loves it! He has 8 teeth, and roughly 20 words in his vocabulary. He is still signing (cat, dog, more, please, thank you all done, eat and milk). He is 21 pounds, 30 inches, in 18 month clothing

I have a toddler.

I have been thinking alot about what I want to post in honor of Wyatts first birthday. And I'm having a hard time. SO, I'm just going to ramble. Because obviously I'm really good at that. And I'll throw in some random photos for you. We had his one year appointment today. He's 19.1 pounds, 29.5 inches. Which is 5%ile in wieght and 44%ile in height. He did really well, and really charmed the

First Birthday Party!

2010-10-24T20:45:00.001-07:00

Yesterday we had Wyatts first birthday party. His actual birthday isn't until next week, but as its Halloween weekend, and my birthday too, this just seemed way easier! We rented a ramada at a local park, and I couldn't had asked for a better place. There was a huge playground with 3 or 4 different sections close enough that parents could watch the older kids play from the tables, and we had a

Is this thing on?

2010-10-16T00:07:00.000-07:00

Well, so much for back to blogging with a bang! And unfortunately, this will be another "fluff" post. We joined up again with Kacy for Wyatts nine month (ok, he was 10 months. the blog isn't the only thing I've been slacking on) photos. I love my little man!

Back to Blogging!

2010-09-06T17:20:00.000-07:00

With a bang! I have been very neglectful of the blog lately. This little thing called life sorta got in the way. But I hope to begin making the time again, I've missed the blog! So, to make amends for the lack of posting, and for the shortness of this post, I will share with you the events of our Labor Day.

A Special Treat For You!

The Hair

2010-06-21T20:57:00.000-07:00

Well, the haircut that got the most votes was #4 by a landslide. I had an appointment this weekend with Alex Billingsley. Who I officially love, by the way. He was talking to me about the Brazillian Blowout hair straightening treatment. While I was there, showed him the blog, and my options for haircuts. I wanted his opinion as a professional. I asked him what he would recommend for my face

Don't forget to vote!

2010-06-15T21:00:00.002-07:00

Only 3 days left! I can't wait to see which haircut will win! But I think I may have an idea ;)

The one you've all been waiting for.

The update on Wyatt. Lots of pics, lots of video. He's now in 9 month clothes! The 6 month size still fits him in the body, but he is way too long for them now! He sleeps in his own crib (in his own room!!) 90% of the time. I have a rule now that when he wakes up if it's after 5 am, he can come in with us, before 5 and it's back to the crib you go! It was a rocky road getting to this point,

Make overs

2010-06-12T10:40:00.000-07:00

We've all tried it. Done a google search for virtual makeovers. Not very promising results, were they? I don't know about you, but I'm cheap. I have zero desire to pay for a membership to see what my hair could look like. The free sites are even worse! Either you don't get to upload your own pic and the models they habe NEVER look like you, or they only let you view 5 styles before you have to

Life in general.

2010-06-10T20:54:00.000-07:00

Other than the giant hole in my house life has been pretty uneventful. Only not really. I started a new job. Which I LOVE. It is challenging, but I am the type of person that I need that challenge, or I just get bored. And the more bored I am the less work I do. It's a very vicious cycle. The environment at the new place (and no, I won't list the employer) is wonderful. It's 90% women, and

So behind!

2010-06-09T21:14:00.001-07:00

I am offically so behind in blogging that I don't know where to start. Has that ever happened to you? There are soo many things I want to share, but I don't have time/energy/desire or even words to put them all in one massive post, so instead I post nothing. Well, that ends today. Where do begin... Oh yeah! A car drove through the side of my house. No really, it did. No, we don't

I'm alive.

I swear. Just unbelievable busy and super stressed out. Once the internets are available at the house again, I promise to regale you with tons of stories and pictures! But for now, please be content in the knowledge that I miss you just as much as you miss me. Probably more, come to think of it!

Tag, I'm it!

2010-05-02T16:28:00.000-07:00

Jaye has tagged me! Here are the rules: 1) Go to your photo files, select the 8th photo folder 2) Select the 8th photo in that folder 3) Post that photo along with the story behind it 4) Then challenge 8 blogging friends to do the same! This is the other side of the new kitchen. Our fridge is bigger than the one pictured, and that stove doesn't work properly. So we'll be getting a new one

I am going to ATTEMPT to put in a video here. We'll see. Wyatt was very excited to learn a new sound last week! Please don't mind my annoying voice!

Movin' On Up!

2010-04-23T20:40:00.000-07:00

To a house with a YARD! I cannot tell you how freaking excited I am to have a yard. With a patio table, maybe a pergola and definately a garden! I hope to learn to compost while I'm at it. Somehow, I managed to not take any pictures of the front. But here are some of the key points. We are hoping to close next week. The house is 2 stories, 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. First Floor Layout (with

Birthdays Galore!

2010-04-19T20:42:00.001-07:00

I had a pretty busy weekend! Saturday morning was Kay's 6th birthday. I asked Lisa if I could make the cake for her birthday. I didn't give Lisa any hints as to what I had in mind, since my inspiration was a pretty lofty goal. I didn't want her (or Kay) to be disappointed if I couldn't pull it off. I was pretty darn proud of myself! After Kay's, I headed to Jamie's for her Ditry Thirty! She

Peace Offering

I hope that you will accept my sincerest apologies for the recent lack of posts. Here is my peace offering .

Make Your Voice Heard!

2010-04-13T10:21:00.001-07:00

I posted before about some laws up for vote here in AZ. Laws that mean pretty hefty things in the world of infertility. I sent an email (and a fax, actually) to each and every representative in my state: Dear Representative Meyer, As a resident of the great state of Arizona I urge you to oppose two bills, SB 1306 and SB 1307, which will make it harder for couples with infertility to have a
