we had a little accident

Oh man, do i feel horrible.  I won't give all the details but needless to say, we had a little accident.  Vincent fell and hit face forward.  His left eye is swollen and bruised and his left arm is hurt, but not broken. Poor guy.  It's kind of sad to say but he beat both me and steve in getting a black eye.  That's my boy.  

poor baby

is it a dresser or toilet?

You like vincents new crapping spot?  I was laying on the bed and looked over to see Vin pulling out the bottom drawer of the dresser. "Oh, How Cute!" I thought  when he crawled in and stood up and started cheering.  Then, to my dismay, he gets this look in his eye, sits down and starts grunting.  then a smile..... all I can say is i'm sooooo happy for diapers.   

my little interior decorator

In the new bathroom I added a vase with branches. To make it "artsy" , I added some birds.  Vincent LOVES the birds whenever he goes in there.  He just stares and points.  So, this morning he wanted to go in and see them so steve brought him in.  Vincent has a little bear he got from Brooks (thanks again B) and he loves it.  When he grabs it, he gets really excited, shows it to me, then bites it's head off.  It's too cute in a sadistic way.  (jk)  Anyways, he got close to the birds and started whining and pointing to get closer.  So he brought him closer and this is what he did.  He wanted to decorate with his little bear too! How cute is that?  

can you spot the bear?

easter babies

sometimes you wake up in the morning and wonder what life is about and why you are still here. then you look in their eyes and see a light you've forgotten about and remember you're here for them.  They are they joy in this dreary world.  So innocent that you wish you could just put them in one of those eggs and keep them safe forever.  But then you realize you have to let them go eventually and just pray they turn out the way you taught them.  If only everything could be as interesting as a plastic easter egg.

It is finished!!!

This is when i break out into song singing hallelujah!!!! Thanks to the hard work of my husband (and me for taking long trips to Utah) the bathroom is now offically finsihed.  wow , he did an amazing job right?  everyone needs to call steve now too and give him props, he needs more than just what i can give him.  But I will say it once again, THANK YOU STEVE! YOU ARE AMAZING!!! And to finish off with a quote from Sterling who said, "Looks like the crapping quarters of a king!"

"You were the one who made things different, you were the one who took me in.  You were the one thing I could count on, above all, you were my friend."

Lindsay, thanks for everything! 

"I'll lean on you and you lean on me and we'll be okay."

family ties

I thought i'd show my favorite family in the whole world.  We pulled the old couch onto the front lawn in monroe.  It turned out well besides the fact we almost lost a couple kids to the cold (cody and shawn).  I'm sending my thanks to josh for putting up with the fam too. 

hello stuffed-animal topia!

our trip to utah

Recently as some of you know, Vin and I just got back from visiting family in Utah and boy did we have a heck of a time!  (steve's reading this so i won't swear, JK! Steve!)  For Vin's birthday another pharmacist at steve's work gave vinny a build-a-bear work shop gift certificate so we used it within the first day of being in utah, actually probably within the first 5 hours.  (I really just wanted to go to the Gateway) so i thought i'd share a bit of the joy.

This is some rare footage of the illusive vinny walking.

This was on steve's birthday, happy birthday steve.

The really are some of his first steps

wow, i've sank to a new low on a friday night

Well, here i am FINALLY pealing my butt off the perverbial bed that's kept me from doing this for so long, only because i know it will be months between updates because i am the mother of a high maintenance baby boy, But I love being a mom! Never before have i ever been so into a kid until i had one.  Before it was like, oh, a kid, wooow.  now I'm like BABIES!! i want to hold them and love on them a cuddle with them.  WHAT HAPPENED?  it's like i just snapped.  

SO because my child is very needy, i find myself trying to put him to bed for the last 3 hours only to finally pull him out of the crib, wipe away his tears (and snot, given) and prop him on "mama and dadas" bed, pop some popcorn and settle down to the Family Guy, given the only cartoon on friday night with no cable. Needless to say, Vincent was happy.  

Well, that's not the new low. So here i am now, waiting for steve to get home watching the Opera show about polygamy.  Actually somewhat interesting.  One guy married two sisters.  what the...??? Why??? sorry brandi i love you but not enough to share.
