Just Another Day in Paradise

Well so much has happened, I just had to share. Drew has been glued to Nick ever since we came home from our trip. They spent Saturday together running errands and dining over Costco pizza and Diet Coke for lunch. (Yeah I later found out that Nick had forgot to take Drew's sippy cup in with them to Costco, so he shared a "few sips" of Coke with Drew. Yep just what we need, a baby hopped up on caffine.) Later that day Nick and Oakland went running and Drew felt so left out that he couldn't go, that he stood by the front window crying for them. We went over to Travis and Leslie's to play with little Kendra. Well since we had been wrestling beforehand, he deceided that it was Kendra's turn. He would go up to her and throw his arms around her and growl, trying to get a response. Right there you knew the difference between boys and girls as she looked at him wondering what the heck he was trying to do, and why he wasn't letting go of her. With that failed attempt, he moved on to the dogs, Dash and BeBe. Drew was chasing them aroung trying to steal their toys and wrestle them too. Oh I also forgot to mention that he was persistent on having some of Nicks vitamin water before we left to see Kendra. So we finally convinced him that we were putting some in a cup for him to have. It's vitamin water afterall, and everyone could use some extra vitamins. About a half our later, we come to find out that is has ginsing and caffine in it. Who knew? Morning rolls around and I am trying to distract Drew so Nick can jump through the shower. He had barely just turned on the water when Drew lept off the couch (however a 16 month old leaps) and runs into the bathroom absolute distraught that Nick would of even thought of not inviting him to such a climatic event. After all day of pestering Nick while he tried to work, we decided to run some errands. We went to Costco again and right when we walked in, Drew started signing that he was hungry by rubbing his tummy. He was wandering trying to grab some milk and loaves of bread. It was the funniest thing to see this little kid in this big warehouse wandering up and down the isles trying to get something to eat. We stopped at Hobby Lobby and there was a fake dog curled up asleep. Drew was so mesmorized by it. He kept bending down and whispering "Night night doggy." I don't know maybe you had to of been there but the past few days have just been a blast with my guys! I love them to death, and spending time with them has been just another day in paradise.

Fun Pictures!

We were able to play in the snow while Drew took a nap!

Oakland trying to find snowballs!

Our home after the big storm a couple of Sunday's ago. We spent the afternoon digging everyone out since church was cancelled.

Slacker!!

Well it has been forever since I have posted so here is an update on some stuff. Nick and I were both extremely busy last week so Drew was basically raised by all of our wonderful family that lives nearby. I had the amazing opportunity to go and see "Riverdance" with my parents. It was wonderful! Those dancers are sooo talanted! I also am in Young Women's so I was busy planning New Beginnings, and getting ready for a wedding that I had to shoot. Nick has been busy with work and trying to control all of us bombarding him every minute that he is home. This week Nick and I had the opportunity to go and spend some time up in Park City. He work was having a conference so he had free hotel and food all week. I went up Wednesday through Friday and it was so nice to get away. It was the first time I had ever left Drew for more than a day, and it was nice to sleep in, hang out in my pj's and read. Over the past two weeks Drew has just wanted Grandma Jeann, Grandma Pam or Daddy. It is so cute to see him searching around the house for Nick calling 'Da da. Da da.' He is growing up so fast, we can't hardly believe it!! Well I better go, Drew is supposed to be down for a nap, but I can still hear him complaing that we left him again!!

Drew

Nick and I were blessed with a sweet baby boy on October 8, 2006. Drew has been a bundle of energy from the day he was born. He loves to play with balls, trucks and Oakland, his dog. His favorite thing to do is play hide n' seek, wrestle, clean and play with friends. He is often found trying to "help" his Daddy work or "help" his mommy clean or cook. He loves everyone and is currently reaping the benfits for knowing how to sign 'more candy please.'
