SO SO SLEEPY

Two weeks ago Justin went into get Riley out of his crib and found him with his leg up over the side of the rail. So obviously it was time for a toddler bed. He has adjusted really well which I find totally amazing. I was very fearful of having a two year old either roaming the house at 2am or banging on his bedroom door. He isn't quite tall enough to reach the door knobs and get them open though he gives it a good try. When we first got the bed put together Riley had to test it out and pose for a few pictures.




Last night I went in to check on him before I went to bed like I always do and this is what I found. Since he usually sits on his bottom and scoots off the side of the bed I can only assume that he was trying to escape and found that it was just too much effort and fell back asleep.



Snuggled back in for the night!

Random Tuesday

Kia has so much fun with this one I thought I'd give it a try. I guess she stole it from the Un MOM so go steal the button and give it a try. We can all be random together.

I never remember my dreams but lately I have been dreaming really vivid crazy dreams. Last night I had totally grow a old lady beard. Seriously it was so clear I was even at the hairdresser getting the wax done. This morning I was looking in my rear view mirror checking to make sure it was just a dream. I'm not going to look good as an old hairy lady.

My friend Kacey's little girl Ella Grace can say the word COCK and mean several different things. It can range between sock, truck and frog. It is one of the funnies things you have ever heard.

Several weeks ago when I posted pictures of my new furniture several people thought it was my real house but the picture was really of the furniture showroom. I stole it off the website. I just dream of a house that is perfectly clean, large and has plants in it that aren't dead.

My friend Angie and are easily distracted and jump from story to story in midcoversation. We joke that a shiny ball has distracted us. I'm not sure that anyone else things that we are as funny was we do when mid sentence we start laughing loudly and saying shiny balls - shiny balls! I think that is why I have love reading Kia's random posts and decided to give it a try.

My life has started revolve around the number of days that "aunt flo" has been here. We are over a month and still counting. Seriously - this is for the birds. Dr appointment tomorrow and she better be able to FIX me.

What is it about little boys and scratching their junk, weenus, penis, wee wee, pee pee or any other name you want to give it. It seems like at the most inappropriate time they either need to touch it or talk about it. Will it ever stop.

Creating a world with more birthdays
To most people, birthdays are just a reminder that they're getting older. But at the American Cancer Society, "Happy Birthday" is a victory song, because a world with less cancer is a world with more birthdays. And that's definitely something to celebrate.

More than 11 million Americans who have survived cancer—and countless others who have avoided it—will celebrate a birthday this year, thanks to the progress we're making together to help people stay well and get well, to find cures, and fight back.

Join the movement for more birthdays—declare the American Cancer Society the official sponsor of your birthday—and together we can save lives and give people more candles to light.


This is a new National Campaign for the American Cancer Society. Down syndrome is not the only health issue that hits close to home. I have had all to many family members, friends and coworkers lose the fight to this horrible disease. Take a minute and check out the information.

19 days since I last posted. Yes I know I'm a blogging loser.

70 degrees it reached today it SpoVegas

200 dollars I raised at my Pamper Your Piggy Party on Friday. What a great reason to sit around with girlfriends drinking, eating gossiping and soaking your feet. All that in the name of raising money for Cancer Research. If you don't know about the Relay for Life you should check it out. www.cancer.org - just so happens they sign my paycheck too

60 minutes spent outside after dinner enjoying the sunshine and playing with the boys

2 the size of Rex's new soccer cleats - the pair that rubbed his feet raw at the game this weekend were a 13. Oops I won't win mother of the year on that one. Good thing he can wear soccer cleats for baseball too.


918374 the number of amazing things Riley has done lately. He tried to climb out of his crib - leg over the edge and other leg off the mattress when dad found him. He is now in a toddler bed and actually stays in it during the night. He has learned to take his own shirt off, and is eating with a fork 90% of the time. And the best was when Rex and I were outside yesterday kicking the soccer ball around. I purposely didn't put shoes on Riley hoping he would stay on the steps and not try to venture out on the grass. So when I sat down next to him he starts saying please please and then he signs help shoes. He was totally telling me with multiple signs that he needed his shoes on. I can't believe how often he is actually stringing words or signs together to tell us things.

Woo Hoo

It arrived yesterday. I can't begin to explain how exciting it is to finally get grown up furniture that matches and everything. We have never really bought furniture of any kind, well besides our bed. It isn't like we still had our college furniture but still it wasn't great. My mom does have great taste and I do love her cast aways. :-)

So here are our new digs. The ottoman is coming in a few weeks but we have a nice comfy place to cuddle up and relax. Riley has already drooled on it to break it in.

1 The number of days until my new living room furniture arrives

500+ the number of dollars I saved by checking bargains on my lunch hour today on furniture mentioned above

1230980 is the number of times I talked about beautiful new grown up matching furniture that no one has owned before us

10.5 glorious years of marriage and use of lovely hamdidown furniture

2 the number of Costco pizza it took to bribe free labor to move old furniture out of our house into the garage - I'm guessing they would have come for free but it was a great excuse to see friends

40 bucks is what we hope to gain off of Craig's list sale of icky old furniture - we'll settle for 5 :-)

Boys Boys Boys

I thought I'd treat you to some fun pictures of the boys. Riley has recently become very interested in combing his hair. Tonight big brother was patient enough to let him comb his hair as well. I can tell you from experience this can be a bit painful. A couple of nights back Riley and Justin were having quite a funny little exchange that involved a lot of tongue. You'll just have to see that for yourself.
