Water Baby

Yesterday was a nice enough day that we went swimming. They have a pool here called Farmington Pool (catchy huh) and so we went. Sam, Bubba, and I took my sister and her friend Aubrey with us. Because you know, the more people you have, the funner it is! So we took them along with us, and went swimming. It was a LOT of fun!! This is the first time Bubba has really been swimming in a big pool this year. Last time he went, he was probably 5 months old. So it was fun to see how he would act this time. He absolutely loved the water. We have this inflatable crab that we bought last year. Bubba would always fall asleep in it. He fits a lot better in it this year, and he loved just floating there. We took him out of the crab, and he turned into a water baby! He was trying to dance in the pool, and seeing him try to walk in the water was a sight to see! Then he tripped and went under. Scared the SNOT out of me! I didn't let him go after that, but apparently, he thought it was funny, as he kept dipping his head down so it went under the water. He would pull it up blink his eyes, and then laugh. Silly boy! So here are some pictures:
Of course him in his crab. He wouldn't look at the camera.

Here is Bubba and me!

And here is Sam and Bubba

And here is a video of him playing around. I was going to get more video, but my phone died, and that is what I was taking video with!

Anyway. That was our day yesterday! It was a lot of fun, and we can't wait until we can go back swimming! This also makes me want to get more toys for him to play with in the water. LOL.

Issues

Ok, so I don't know if it is Blogger, or my computer, or my connection, or WHAT. But I CAN NOT UPLOAD PICTURES!! IT is driving me crazy!!! So the post that I was going to put up yesterday, it wouldn't upload them. Now when I try to upload them, there is NO BROWSE button! What the..? So...as I sit here angerily trying to figure this out, I thought I would update you. BLech.

Happy Father's Day

This is for the two guys in my life who mean the world to me.

My Dad:

My dad has helped me through a lot. He has always been there for me, and he means the world to me! He has graciously let us stay in his basement while we try to figure things out and get settled. Without so much as a complaint. He was there to band concerts, achievement activities, daddy-daughter dates, etc. So this is to thank him for being so wonderful!

My Hubby:

He is my life. He loves me, he cares for me, he is more than I deserve. I can't believe how lucky I am to have him in my life. And I can't express how LUCKY Bubba is to be able to call him dad. Which he does, ALL the time! I love to watch him play and interact with Bubba, and I usually have to let him do it, as I always try to butt in. Haha, but he does wonderfully. He is there for me when I am sad, and comforts me when he cry. When I am happy, he rejoices with me. I love him so so SOO much, and can't believe he's mine for eternity.

So for all you guys out there, and especially for these two in my life, I wish you a Happy Father's Day! You deserve the best!

Is it Friday already?

Wow..the week sure goes by fast...

• I hate mornings. Ok, so maybe hate is too harsh of a word. But I really really loathe them. And even though I know I have to wake up early in the morning, I still can't bring myself to go to sleep early to get enough sleep. If I had it my way, I would wake up at 10:00 or later every day.
• I love movies. I could watch at least one movie every day!! But I haven't had the chance to. And when I do, I usually watch the same movie for a few days.
• I live through Music. If I am in any kind of mood, I can usually find a song that relates to how I am feeling. There have been many times that I have sat Sam down, and had him listen to a song to show him how I feel at that time. It portrays my emotions better than anything.
• I met up with some people the other day, who I have a huge connection with, and I had SO much fun! It actually made me feel like I had some good friends. Even though it was the first time that I had met some of them!
• I want to go to a beach. And we should be going in August!! YAY! I can not tell you how excited I am to go! I miss it..
• I love to Vaccum. Is that weird? I love listening to things get sucked up the tube. Yeah, I'm odd.

There we go. Enjoy!

Little toes..

This here...this kid right here, can you see him? This little kid right here in this picture is a sweetheart. I love him. And what do you ask is he doing in this picture?

He is screaming. That's right. S.C.R.E.A.M.I.N.G. This is something that he does lately. And sometimes, it makes you cringe away, like nails going down a chalkboard. It is loud, sudden, and usually followed by laughter. BUT, I still love him anyway. And here is another reason that I love him...

His sweet little toes. Toes that I could just eat right off. (Don't worry, I won't...) Little toes that he wiggles into my face so I can nibble on them. Little toes that walk up and down the stairs now, holding on to my hands, little toes that try to tickle me when I snuggle him to sleep, little toes that he can somehow still suck on to keep clean, little toes that make my heart melt. I love little toes.

And I am sure glad that I have those little toes to love. Along with the little boy attached to them. Of which I love even more.

I have a Confession to make...

That's right, time for confessions...what to confess, what to confess..

• According to my mother, I have an uncanny ability to remember lines from movies that I have only seen once. Sam and I went and saw UP last week, and we came back, and I could quote a few different lines from the movie. In fact, any movie that they brought up, I could quote at least one line from. It's strange. I LOVE movies, and I remember them from lines. I'm weird, I know.
• I wish I had $5,000. And not for what I thought I wanted it for. At first I wanted to use it to spend on clothes, and just a big shopping spree. But now I just want it to get out on our own.
• I love taking pictures, but I think that I undersell myself. And I am having a really hard time with this. I have had a lot of people tell me that I don't charge enough for my pictures. But I don't have enough business as it is. So why up my prices. I don't know..I go back and forth...
• Bubba has a doll. I know, I know, he's a boy, and he shouldn't have a doll. But I digress...he does. And he loves it. I can't take it away from him. He will pull it out, and put it in my arms. If I try to set it off to the side, he will pick it up and put it back in my arms. He gives it rides on his truck, and he kisses it. He LOVES to kiss it. He is always kissing the doll on the head. It all has been very sudden..like within the last 2 weeks. Think he's trying to tell us something? lol
• I am exhausted. And I miss Sam. I hate Friday nights. Boooo.

I am heading to bed. Enjoy!

Weekends (TAKE TWO)

Ok! I finally was able to get these photos to upload! Oooohhhhh Yeeeaaaahh. So here is what we did this weekend. Friday of course started with the Thunderbird preview, which I have previously mentioned. But THIS time, I am not going to post pictures of the jets, no sir-e, I am going to post some pictures of Bubba, my nephew DK, and me! That's right. Hold on to your hats..
Here is Bubba looking like Shrek. If only they were green.... And on another note, he would NOT keep these things in!! Anytime I put them in, I would try to distract him, and then he would be right back trying to pull them out. Silly boy.

Here is DK with his cool looking earplugs. Seriously, this is the way to go!

And here is Bubba and I. Again, another picture with him NOT looking at the camera. Man, do I have him trained. Haha.

And then on Saturday, I caught a ride down with my brother in law and his new wife to go down to my Niece's baptism. Her name is Sierra, and she just turned 8. Here she is.

Seriously a doll huh! Well, she was baptised on Saturday. Well, on our way down, we got caught behind an accident that ended up closing the freeway! So we had to get off, and I ended up missing the baptism, but was able to be there for the rest! After that we went out for a luncheon up the canyon. Hamburgers, and Hot Dogs on a grill. PERFECT! It was SO much fun!

And then this brings us to Sunday. A day that I really didn't do anything! I went to take a nap while Bubba was sleeping...and he woke right up. So not really a nap for me! Rats. But that's ok. We have been enjoying thunderstorms and lots of rain the last few days, so not a lot of playing outside unfortnately! But we will hopefully remedy that soon. Alright. Now that I got it to post, let's hope that cyperspace doesn't eat it when I hit publish. Everyone cross your fingers...
