Farm Life.

Josh had to work today, so after Zane's "messy" class we drove out to Buckley to visit my dad. My dad called me on our way out there asking if he could take Zane up to the feed-store by himself once we got there; I of course said yes, but warned him that Zane may not love the ride (b/c I wasn't there). So on the way to my dad's I was pumping Zane up telling him he was going to ride in Grandpa Hay's BIG truck and I told him that mommy would not be going with him and he kept saying "ok" and kept talking about the BIG truck. I knew that the act of pumping him up would never fully prepare him and I was right...he was not thrilled at all, but my dad said he only cried until they got down the driveway and had fun there on out (which I totally expected)!

My poor baby not happy to be going on a drive without mommy!



After their adventure into town we had lunch and then headed out to feed the horses, pet the bunnies and spread straw in the chicken coop! Zane made great use out of the new boots that grandpa bought him at the feed store! He talked about his adventures in the truck and out on the "farm" the whole way home...well, until he fell asleep that is!

Dress for the Mess!

Zane started a new class at our community center today called "Dress for the Mess" the description in the catalog was basically a room full of kids doing messy projects that you don't want to do at home because you'd have to clean it up! They were right. One problem though...my kid doesn't like to get messy. It was actually almost embarrassing, he was the only boy out of 5 kids and the only kid that threw a fit when asked to get his hands dirty!! After a few tears (from him, not me) and a lot of coaxing (from me) he finally got ONE hand dirty...would not get them both dirty! I called Josh afterwards and told him that he needed to toughen his boy up and take him next week and show him how to get dirty and enjoy it!!!











Notice in all of the pictures how only one hand is participating?!!

Hoppity-Hop

Zane had his last tumbling class last night and they brought out the Hoppity-Hops (or that's what they were called when I was a kid anyway)!! The coach wasn't to sure that any of the kids would be able to figure these things out, but to her surprise all of the kids did wonderful! They had a blast hopping on these things...I need to find one for home!





Here is a video of my little hopper!



Here's one more video to share...I swear bubbles are like crack for my kid!

Just call me Betty Crocker!

Here's what I did tonight:

Sugar cookies for Zane to take to daycare tomorrow:


Chocolate covered Red Velvet cake balls:


Red Velvet cupcakes with a marshmallow butter-cream frosting (that is to die for by the way):


All made from scratch! I don't know about you, but I'm tired!

Now what did you do tonight?!!

Superbowl 2010.

What a fun day we had to watching the Superbowl and all of the commercials! We had some of our good friends over today; the Wieser's and the Serna's! The kids made our living room look like a tornado had blown through and somehow only touched the toys and left the rest of the house fine, the guys drank their share of beer and the girls had a great time catching up! I love to have people over and today was no different! Now Zane's in bed, the kitchen is somewhat cleaned up and I'm ready to crash! Back to work tomorrow :( And for the record none of us cared who won!

The Hanson's.

My good friend Eric got married yesterday. It was a fun time for my date Karena and I, haha! Josh stayed home with the boy and Karena and I got all dressed up and went out for some fun! The wedding went perfectly and the food (and beer) were delicious, they also had the best tasting wedding cake I think I've ever had! I am so happy for Eric that he has found "the one", I want that for all of my friends!!

This first picture is terrible due to my camera and its lack of taking decent zoom'd in pictures, but its the only one I took of the ceremony (or the couple for that matter), so it'll have to do!


Eric and I.

Daddy's Home!

Josh was in California all last week for work and both Zane I missed him like crazy! It was too quiet around here after Zane went to bed and the house stayed too clean, haha! Everyday on the way home Zane would ask "daddy home?" and I'd have to remind him that daddy went on an airplane. We are so happy to have daddy back home!!

Daddy brought Zane home a pair of 3-D glasses from when he went to see Avatar!
