A funny story

SOMEONE had left their golf club in the kitchen after he was done using it. I decided to toss it into the living room (it is carpeted) so it would not be in my way in the kitchen. SOMEONE scolded me for doing so.

That someone is 17 months old, and scolded me by saying no, no, no many times. Isn't it a little early for the obsession to start?

Where DID we go?

Well, this is a 3 part answer you see.

Technically, we moved! I actually moved in December, but never have we made mention of it on the blog. The relevance of this will be revealed in 2 seconds...

Cyberly speaking, I've been on facebook a little more frequently, and I now have a great appreciation for facebook. it kinda feels like blogging was SOOO 2008. But don't worry blog, you are still my true love.

Metaphorically speaking, I have been on a QUEST. A quest to make our new house a home. We are in a bigger, better space than before, but moving from a townhome to a actual house makes you realize what little stuff you have to fill it! So, I have had many a projects completed and yet to be completed, but I have no problems with a work in progress. One thing I have really come to realize is that I love green. I would live in a green house with green walls with green shelves that have green picture frames with pictures of us in our matching green clothes. Yeah, nuts. Don't worry, I have been able to excercise some self control, but to bring in some green I made these...

And to help in this quest, my cousins and I have been getting together once a month. We eat, we laugh, we craft. GOOD TIMES! Last month I painted this little treasure...

so hopefully, I can pick up the pace and quit this "once a month" blogging. Lame, I know.

a blog worth reading

No, I'm not talking about my own. I have come across a blog that features a "supermom series." Being the stay at home mom that I am, I was personally inspired by this post. It is a blessing being a mom, and I am very blessed to be able to spend all day every day with my favorite little boy! I felt that this supermom put it all so well about being entrusted with young little souls. Oh and I love the picture of her and the baby on the cruiser (just wait for this summer). Reading this made me feel inspired and motivated. What will I do to be the best mom I can be?

on another note...here is a pic of Owen loving on Pedro, seriously, his name is the first thing he says every morning. The boy is obsessed.

and what Owen and I have been up to for the last month...running a lot. He is a great running buddy!

happy love day!

the boys

Where are my blogging friends? Seems like I haven't had a blog to read in ages...here is a fun collage of Owen and his buddy Dane. He came over and they had lots of fun together. Later that night Owen stood up all by himself and since then has taken about 4 or 5 steps. Come back Dane!

Its "love" month, and I'm in love...

with Pandora radio(among many other things)! If you do not know what it is...It is free streaming music for the internet or iphone! You create your own music stations with simply entering any musician/group and from there it streams music by that musician and similar artists. Today is the first time I have officially used it and it is the most genius thing EVER! As you can see I get very excited about music. I love it because it introduces me to so many more musicians and their songs. TRY IT!

the joys of a 1 yr old

a few things...

He has learned to give me the cheesiest smile possible. He squishes his entire face and grinds his teeth (all 6 of them). He seems to do this at the most opportune times, like when he may be in a bit of trouble, this smile will save the day.

His favorites words are...No, Dado(pedro), nana, and uh oh.

He is quite content with crawling...he is such a speedy crawler, why fix what ain't broken?

He is such a snuggler. he will just lay on the couch and snuggle with me and his teddy. I love this.

He will do the actions and try to sing Twinkle Twinkle little star and the Itsy bitsy spider.

He loves to wave bye-bye. We have a little window by the side of our front door that he will crawl to and wave to nobody or he will see the garage door (where steve disappears to work) and wave to it.

He honestly loves books. He will pull every book off of his shelf until he has found the perfect one, preferably a touch and feel and he will bring it to me and make me read it over and over.

He gets cuter and cuter everyday.love you Owen!
