I'm A Busy Stay at Home Mom of 2 & I'm a PC

So our old laptop took a dump 3 days ago. Which is totally a huge pain in the rear - So we went to Best Buy and got a new computer, everyone was super helpful and I am excited about having Windows 7! I never realized how heavy our old laptop was until we got the new one~ So far I absolutely love it....Except for the new digital camera software, I do not know how to work it and feel like a dumb-dumb.

Speaking of Dum-Dums, my best friend Jody and I were out walking with the kids last week and she saved the day!!! Aiden saw a chance to break free and wanted to get outside - Jody pulled the sucker out of her bag & VOILA! Happy toddler.....He looked like a smurf after the blue got all over his hands and face (p.s. I have come a long way since having kids with the whole sticky & messy candies) He was in a good mood after the whole ordeal that I wasn't going to let a blue face get in the way of that! So I followed suit & bought an "in times of crisis" bag of goodies.


Here is a picture of Aiden taken about a month ago - He has really been talking up a storm lately! I love how he can think and speak for himself - Yesterday we were leaving the store and he told me "Annie on the phone - Emmy emms (M&Ms)" So I said back to him "You do have your M&Ms" (Because that is what it took to check out and get into the car seat without a fight) He then said it again.....He wanted me to call Grannie Annie so he could tell her he got his Emmy Emms.... So funny! He also said to the woman at the bakery "A cookie please" It melted her heart & she tried to give him 2....I said, no thanks! Only 1 :o)




This picture of Graham was taken the same day as Aiden's. He was scooting himself across the floor. He really gravitates towards the dining table....There must be something about it, because he loves crawling under the chairs and table, but then gets angry once he is there. He is really crawling now - pretty quick and has started pulling himself up to stand every chance he gets! Will do it with the stairs, toys, chairs - Everything! It makes me so excited to see him learn how to do things, but also gives me sadness thinking that his 1st year is already 2/3 over & in 4 months he will be 1. I guess he doesn't want to be a baby forever :o)

This weekend I am going to Lincoln to meet up with a friend that I haven't seen in forever. I am really looking forward to having a Ladies Night! We used to be really good friends and moving really put a kink in hanging out all the time like we used to. It will be nice to catch up on the latest happenings.

By the way, I have already lost the 15 pounds I made as my New Year's Resolution!!! Now I just need to learn how to open the champagne bottle with a knife :o)
