Another book down the hatch!

My brain is buzzing with activity! Two books in two months- this is a record people! Of course, there have been sacrifices. Laundry is taking up large corner of my bedroom, there is enough food under Cooper's highchair for a whole meal, eyebrows need plucking, and we have no food in the fridge. Ok, who are we kidding, those things never get taken care of anyway, but now I have an intellectual excuse. So there.

Here is the latest, another historical fiction, but with a twist- the author actually lived during the time she writes about, WWII, and ends up being killed in Auschwitz. The book never got finished. A bit hard to wrap your mind around that concept.

Busy weekend

*I got a new laptop this weekend and I looooove it!! Our other one was so slooooooooow and begging us to put it out of it's misery. It couldn't even keep up with the speed of typing. Yeah.

I got blue.

So, I am hoping I will be more inspired to do some digital scrapbooking, as hopefully it won't take me 2 hours to complete one page!

*All the "boys" got haircuts this weekend too. It was Cooper's first. Time to lose the mullet. Fluff on top, long in the back. He was getting mistaken for a girl even with construction themed outfits on...He did great, and of course looks like a "real little boy" now, not just a baby. Sigh. We did manage to keep some of his signature fluff, though!

*We wrapped of the weekend with some biking and skateboarding in the park. I love that it is near 80' in February. Love it.

*On a less fun note, Jason flew out this morning to Denver for work. He will be gone a whole week. Calgone take me away! Jackson was in a lovely mood driving home from the airport. Trying to soften the mood I asked him if he already missed Daddy. "No, I just wanted to get on that airplane".

1 year photos

Here are Cooper's one year photos, a la Sears. Planned to go Monday, but most of his pics would of him holding his ear and crying! Feeling much better now, just look at this smile!!

I don't know if I am supposed to do this, but here is the link to see them...

Stay tuned

I am trying to update photo albums, add some of my favorite new sites, and give the blog a little face lift. So check back often!

Until then, I just wanted to share this picture of Jackson. I realized that I hardly ever post about him. Kinda the second child treatment, reversed.

A few things about Jackson as of late:

*He is all of a sudden really into his train table and spends hours making "tracks"

( I almost boxed it up since it has sat untouched since his birthday )

*He likes to use the word "stumbled" whenever possible

*Does not appreciate his little brother's curiosity

( i.e. getting into his toys )

* Has a imaginary freind named "Hohovia"

( maybe it's spelled Jojovia, I'll have to check )

*Wants Daddy 24/7

*He joins us in bed everynight at around 3ish...

*Is a bed hog

* Shows random strangers his light-up Spiderman shoes

* Survives almost solely on juice boxes

Love ya buddy!

The Fat Feet and RESULTS

See what I mean- can't crowd those piggies! Finally got around to adding this pic to my earlier post about his extra wide shoes... The red mark is from his socks. He has cankles.

If you don't know what cankles are, watch Shallow Hal.

The other part of my earlier post was that he had to get blood drawn for another round of food allergy testing. It went wonderfully. One year olds are strong little beasts...

The results? EVERYTHING came back NEGATIVE!!!!

I think we may celebrate with his first scoop of ice cream! Or maybe a slice of cheese? Yogurt.

So many choices!
