Farmer Kaleb

It was another beautiful day on Saturday so Braydan decided to plant our garden, despite my reminders that it's still February! Kaleb is officially a BOY. He loved putting dirt and rocks in his mouth and digging up what we just planted.

Braydan planted everything you can think of, even watermelon and others that I know won't do well here :) He also got brussel sprouts. YUCK!!! Maybe I'll secretly not water those.

(He's hidding a rock in his mouth here)

On a side note, I've been able to do more stuff with friends lately without having to worry about rushing home to feed Kaleb!!! It's so nice to be officially done!! He's doing well with it and actually sleeps through the night. It makes me wonder if I should've quit nursing earlier just so I could've got some sleep! The down side to leaving him with Braydan for long stretches is this:

Can we say BIB?

Summer's Here!!

Okay, maybe summer's not here yet, but almost!

It's weeks like this that I remember why I love Washington. For all you poor, cold Montana and Utah folk, check out these pictures :) We had fun at the park yesterday with my friend Amber. Kaleb couldn't get enough of it. Climbing around, going down the slide, walking in the bark chips and eating them. I think we all needed this sunshiny 65 degree weather.

I got tagged!

I've never done one of these, so here goes.....

A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

5 Memories I have with my family
1. Branding cows
2. Weeding in the garden (we were slaves)
3. Jumping on the "tramp"
4. Disfunctional family prayers
5. Going on bike rides and horse rides

5 of my bad qualities or habits
1. Chocolate
2. Nagging my husband
2. Sometimes I read, blog, watch TV, or check e-mail, when I know I have work to do
3.Filling the car with gas. I let it go to almost empty everytime
4. Forgetting to enjoy the moment. I'm always stressing about the next moment instead
5. Asking too many questions when I'm nervous or when I'm afraid of an akward, silent time


5 Things people probably don't know about me
1. I HAVE to have the top of my sheet pulled up and over the comforter or it drives me crazy
2. It's weird, but I won't eat sweets or fruit, or even salad before dinner. Even if I'm starving, I won't eat much of anything until I get a main course. This is even true for drinks (excluding water) Pop and juice just don't sound good until I sit down and eat something big
3. The first thing I do when i come downstairs in the morning is open every single blind in the house. I won't even make breakfast or turn the heat up until I let in as much light as possible
4. I'm not a very patient person. When I go get the mail, I run. When I go from my car to a store, I run. If I go to my neighbors, I run. I can't stand slowly walking. This is really strange now that I'm writing it down, especially cause I'm not a runner.
5. I hate watching a movie twice. There's only a few that i've seen more than once (I hate to waist time) If I do watch movies, I have to be doing something: folding laundry, sewing, etc.

I tag: Emily, Angie, Callie, Helena, and Rebecca
You guys better do it so I learn more about you!!!

Happy Birthday Kaleb!!!!

I can't believe Kaleb is a year old! Where did the time go? I found a picture of a cute whale cake and tried to copy it, but I didn't really do it justice. It was fun to try though. I also made bananna pie, but he didn't like either. More for us!













I haven't blogged lately for a few reasons, the main one being sick Kaleb :( Ever since his fever and whatever he had, I can't nurse him. It's like my body said "you're done." I was planning on being done soon, but not cold turkey! Kaleb is having a rough time with it. He woke up 3 times last night hungry, but I couldn't do anything. He wouldn't take a bottle or cup and that just made him more angry. Any advice for weaning? He saw his doctor today and she said he'll be fine after a week or two. It might be a loonnnngggg week in that case!!
