Hey I am doing pretty good at keeping up I think with posting, or.... putting off my school work! So Max loves the phone as do all children. I didn't realize how much he watches us until I saw him walking around with the phone babbling into it.
He has now called:
Grandpa at Work and left a voicemail.
My Friend Natalie 3 times!
And Corey of course!
Thank goodness he hasn't called 911.
So one of my classes is Nursing Research 545. I am not an Eloquent writer, I wish I was. My teacher posted this as the heading to one of the Units in the class. I thought it was very appropriate and said to myself, "thank goodness for computers or I would be killing trees left and right." Should I put that in APA format? Really, who comes up with all of these formalities to writing? I AM A NURSE for goodness sake! We have our own language, (our own shorthand I should say), nothing on a nurses chart is written in complete sentences and now I have to snap out of it and write for real. This too shall pass right? So I guess now you all have the answer to why my posts don't always flowwwww. I am a nurse, they aren't supposed too.
Today Max turned ONE yea! Weird all day I have been thinking, "A year ago I was doing this...at this time..." We are celebrating Sunday but I figured I would post some pics and a Video.
So the other day I was over at my friend Erika's doing school stuff. Riley Erika's little boy was coloring and colored me a picture. I told him I was going to put it on the refrigerator and I did as soon as I got home! Isn't he good! It is a picture of him at the park and his little wienner dog Max. He did such a great job I wanted to show everyone his work! Isn't it Amazing! Thanks Riley.
Logan is the little boy of our friends Jen and Chris. Logan is one month older than Max and we got to go to his little birthday. We had pizza and salad and Cake and Icecream. Then we played with toys and watched Logan open his presents. It was fun. Max enjoyed himself.
I lost my license last week. I was hoping I would have found it by now, but didn't. SOOO.... Today I went back to the DMV and got a new one, WITH picture. I of course had Max so the man taking my picture was nice enough to take it 3 times, as Max was climbing all over me. ALL 3 BAD of course. I came home and asked Corey if I was really that fat and ugly and if my New Bangs really looked that bad. Corey said I looked beautiful, so I took a picture of myself just to see. I don't look bad, right? Do I look old? Are the Bangs ok? I wish you could bring in your own picture.
This week has not gone as well as I had hoped, for both Max and I. We started with his first LARGE splinter, that had to be removed with a pin and tweezers. It killed me, you feel so bad. He got over it a lot faster than I did. Then Poison Control, ohhh... Max got a hold of one of the oil fragrance pluggins and ripped it apart and had oil all over his face along with the base in his mouth when he walked up to me. I worried of course so I had to call poison control, but I was paranoid that the ambulance would have to come, why?? Because the only other time I have had to call for possible poison ingestion was when Eric was young and I was babysitting and we thought he drank hairspray. Max was ok, he didn't go into distress. THEN.... I left the back door open for a second.... to check on Corey in the garage and Max (who I guess is quicker than I thought) was all of the sudden at the door, hoovering at the edge of the CONCRETE stairs 5 or 6 of them. I launched, but grabbed his arm just as he fell. He hit his head, twisted his arm and got his first shinner. He cried. I cried. then end to a bab mom week. That means that this next week cant be as DANGEROUS right? Ohhhh... I hate the guilt that comes with being a Mom. Anyway that was my Week. Here is the random picture. For the post.
This was so much fun. Thanks to all the friends and family that was able to attend. This was a great idea. Thanks to who's ever idea it was. It was so very nice to see our family get together.

To some of the people that has not been able to come see our new home. Here are a few picture of it. Yes you can say unfortunately we have a yard to put in. Anyone that would love to help this spring, summer or fall would be more then welcome. It's such a nice neighborhood. The neighbors are so very nice. Of course we miss our home in Lehi and our friends. We welcome all of our friends and family to come see anytime. It's really not to far away. I also wanted to say thanks so much for the people that helped us move the weekend before Christmas. I needed help so much. I thank you so very much for all that you do. And you know who you are. Give Katie or I a call anytime if you wanna come and visit us. We would love to have some visitors.
Ok so he can walk a couple of steps at a time and then he falls. I don't know why I thought that once he took those first couple of steps that he would automatically be walking but he is working on it. He also said NO! the other day, don't know where he heard that one.
