Happy Anniversary!

Today is Burger and my second wedding anniversary! I was going to post a cute couple picture of us, but I don't have any because I am always the one behind the camera. Anyways, we have made it two years with out any major mishaps and we are working for many many more happy years together! Also, a few days ago was my parent's 27th wedding anniversary so I just wanted to wish them many more happy years together! In other news, Jacob had his hair cut today. He likes to get his haircut and when I told him this morning that we would go get his hair cut today he was so excited for it all day! Strange kid. But, he looks handsome now and not shaggy. I got my hair cut the other day, but I would rather not talk about it. Other than that we are having a rather boring day. I need to clean up the house. We'll see how far I get...

Find the Sleeping Baby!

This is a game that we have been playing at my house quite frequently these days. He will fall asleep at the most random places at nap time. If I don't keep an eye on him, he will disappear! Today he decided to trash his room and then sleep amongst the mess. Well, at least he sleeps, right? Also, I am trying to watch Dr.Phil right now, but the stupid news broke in to tell me about the stock market crashing or something like that. Usually I would be interested and try to pay attention to it, but today I am just pissed. I wanted to watch Dr.Phil and this isn't it. So I decided to get online and blog about it. Hopefully when I'm done here, my show will be on. Wish me luck.

Bits and Pieces

Burger and Jacob posing for me at the John Deere 90th anniversary celebration.


Jacob in the wheel of a very large tractor. He thought it was really fun. He also got to sit inside the tractor, but I missed it because I was waiting in line for mini donuts. I had to wait in line for 40 minutes, but the donuts were totally worth it!


This is nap time at my house today. At 4 in the afternoon. The Brave Little Toaster was playing on the TV. Yesterday we were pretty busy and outside almost all day. Jacob ate a bunch of junk food and ran around and bounced in the bouncy thing at the CFU Energy Fair. Then in the evening we went to the John Deere Anniversary celebration and ate Pizza with grandma and grandpa Hild. Today we grilled out with grandma and grandpa Hild and Jacob bounced in his bouncy thing in our backyard. I don't think he will ever get tired of those blow up bouncy toys. He loves to play in it and thinks it's funny when Burger pushes him through the mesh wall and makes him fall down and he bounces back up. Hysterical. Anyhow, Burger and Jacob were wore out from our busy weekend and fell asleep on the couch like this. Cute. Definitely picture worthy.

Sleeping Issues

This is Jacob sleeping on his floor. Yes, he is sleeping there. It's nap time and he WAS in his bed. I honestly can't tell you what happened here. But I will tell you that for the past week he has been showing up in odd places sleeping at nap time. The couch, my bed, random floors in the house... I think we might have a sleepwalker on our hands because he always sleeps in his bed for about an hour before showing up to sleep at all these odd places. He slept in his own bed all night last night and woke up super early to watch Thomas. Hope our day goes well.

Is It Tomorrow Yet?

We are waiting for tomorrow because Burger comes home! Yay! We have no plans for the weekend! Double Yay! We are probably just going to hang out all weekend and be together... Our second anniversary is next Tuesday. We don't have any plans for that either. Maybe we will go to dinner or something. Doesn't matter, I'm just excited to have his company again. I know, I'm a big cheese ball! We don't work tomorrow and we don't have any plans yet. Maybe story time at the library. We'll have to see. I am just not a planner, apparently! Today we are just hanging out. Season premier of The Office is tonight! I was thinking of getting my hair cut, but have to wait for my mom to get off work and see what her plans are. No, she doesn't cut my hair. She watches Jacob so I can go somewhere and get my hair cut. My throat is starting to hurt again today, but it's not too bad. If it gets worse I might have to do something about it. Last night Jacob slept well for a while but then he woke up at 12:30 crying. I tucked him back in and he went to sleep. At 1:30 he woke up again and I told him to go back to sleep and he did. But then he woke up again at 2:30. I'm not sure what the problem was, but he came to bed with me that last time and didn't wake again until 6:30 this morning. Not something he is going to get used to. Sleeping with a child is NOT FUN! And not something I will do on a regular basis. I think he might be a little stressed with Burger being gone for so long though. Burger is always here and it's a big change when he leaves for so long. I know, excuses excuses. But really, have some empathy, right? Jacob will be sleeping in his own bed tonight. I will let you know that works for me...

Glasses?

These are Jacob's new glasses! Aren't they cute? They are actually my old pair of glasses with the lenses popped out. He loves them, obviously! He looks so distinguished! Obviously a happy boy! Last night he was taking a tub and I ran to my room to grab his jammies and when I got back to the bathroom he was washing his hair! He was washing his own hair! How smart! He only got the front but it was nice and clean. He also rinsed it out himself. What a boy! Pretty soon I won't have to help him with anything!

Tuesday is better...

I am feeling much better today! My nose is still stuffy but other than that I am all good! We went to work today and then had Subway for lunch. Made french fries at home to eat with our subs! I am so hungry for a sub from Blimpies but there is not a Blimpies around here. So I had to make due with Subway, which is totally not the same. We need to go to the store today. We went yesterday but when I got there I couldn't remember anything that I needed. I walked the aisles thinking I would pass something that would strike a memory, but nothing did. When I got home, I remembered naturally. So I wrote it down and we're going to try again today. Jacob is good. He has been sleeping really well the past couple days so that's nice! I am making a roast for dinner and that's our plan for the day! Not very exciting, but that's my life for ya!
