I Fell In Love.....

.......first thing this morning when Ethan rolled over in the bed, put his hand on the side of my face, and fell back asleep holding me.....I love sweet baby moments like this!!!!!

Unfortunately, the day became not so great when my darling child fell and hit his face, causing a huge bruise. He cried for about 3 seconds, the fall scared me way more than it hurt him (thank goodness)!!! Here is his battle wound:

Just Another Manic Monday

Ethan and I ran errands today with mom. The highlight was probably when I got the zoo pics back and bought a scrapbook. Geez, I'm become dorkier and dorkier by the day!!! I have no idea how to make a scrapbook, I'm just gonna wing it, put pics together on colored paper and add the cut-outs as I choose!!! When we got home, my dad was off work and wanted to go to Lyman to look at a car dealership that claimed they had 80% Kias (which is what my mom wants). So we haul our tushies all the way down there to find.....a junky car lot with big slobby guys who I think were mechanics and a man in a suit showing my dad the junky cars. My mom and I sat in the car laughing. There were NO Kias in the whole stinking lot!! When my dad got in the car I had to point out that a place that lets fat guys where cut off shirts is not a reliable business and my mom said she absolutely would not be purchasing a car from there. Then I requested dinner because the trip was a waste. We ate at Waffle House-yummy!!! Trisha was at Carowinds so she missed this whole disasterous trip!! Guess the car buying will go a little longer than anticipated for my parents!!

Weekend Recap

So Ethan and I had a really good weekend. Spent Saturday and Sunday with Jeremy, trying to act like a non-dysfunctional family. We went to eat and to Toys R Us and mostly hung out at the house, playing with Ethan. Saturday night Ethan and I went to dinner at Wades with my friend from Forest City, Dana. I was super excited to see her. In line waiting to get in, Ethan jumped into a mans arms and laid his head on his chest. It was really weird since Ethan usually doesnt like strangers. I'm going to go with babies have great instincts and somehow knew this man was a great guy. Probably spends his days helping old ladies cross the street or something!!!

Sunday we spent alot of time outside. Ethan tried to make friends with the girl across the street, but she had strep throat and couldnt come out to play. Sunday night my angel brought his sick girlfriend, Ella, a rose and get well balloon. Then he proceeded to push her around in her car!!! He loves going to Heathers!!!! We always have fun there!!!

PS, today is my best friend in the whole wide world since birth's birthday!!!! Here we are last time he was here!!

Our Zoo Trip

What a great day we had today!!!! Trish, Ethan, Heather, Carson, Ella, Cassie, and I all went to the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia. I think the adults were just as excited as the kids!!! After a day of checking out lions, and penguins, and birds, and reptiles, and bears, and giraffes, etc. the kids rode the merry-go-round. Poor Ella was scared and cried, Ethan seemed to love it. Then of course we had to let the kids play in the playground! Ethan kept running back to the merry-go-round. Sometimes he thinks he's so grown!!! Then we had to go to the gift shop. What else would Ethan get but a stuffed monkey??!!! After the zoo, the adults needed a trip to the Columbiana Mall even though Carson claimed he and his mom"had enough stuff at their house!" It was okay, he got to eat Chic-Fil-A!!! And I finally got some holey jeans for cheap!! Finally it was time to go home. The day was perfect in Columbia, even though Trish and I waited a long time for the sun Heather read about on weather.com to come out!! On the way home it rained horribly. Made it perfect to go to sleep at the end of a fun fun day!!

Rain Rain Go Away

Rain rain go away, come again another day.....Didnt do much today, lots of laying around...Ethan took 3 naps....I sure hope tomorrow isn't as icky as today!!! Family dinner was nice though at Fatz.....and then theres that "dont know what to do with" boy that came over and was super sweet and brought me flowers....

Day 2 Of Being SAHM

Today started off sort of slow. Cassie spent the night with Ethan and I. When he woke up he looked at her, then me, then her, then me before finally deciding to flop back down on her and let her rub his back. He can be so sweet in the mornings!! After playing we went to Grandmas. When he fell asleep Cassie and I went to the track where I could only go a mile before the legs became jello. Its okay, day 1 of exercise complete!!! Then we went to pick Trisha up from Heathers. Heres where I say "Sorry I didnt bring Ellas boyfriend, I didnt think we'd stay that long and he was sleeping!!!" Carson and Ella are absolutely precious!! Plus Heather and I figured out how to take pics where our faces dont look fat (though we look super funny!!!) I can not wait until Friday when we load up all our little angels and take them to the zoo!!! We ended the day with family dinner at O'Charleys. Yum yum super good, even though we had the annoying waitress. This SAHM thing may just be okay after all!!!

My First Day As A SAHM

Today was my first day as a stay at home mom. Of course the day started out cold, but it ended beautifully. I really wanted to take Ethan to the park or something, guess I have the next 4 years to fit that in!! I didnt do much, played with Ethan, went to the tanning bed, and of course Tuesday night "date night" at Ashleys with her kids (always fun). Plus my 10 year old cousin is spending the night with us, which makes me happy because I feel like I never see her!!! Hopefully tomorrow will have nice weather!!!
