Baseball and Stiches

Andrew started baseball a couple of weeks ago. He is having a lot of fun. Mylie really wants to be on the field with him. She just about goes crazy having to sit there and watch (so boring). The first game we went to she got antzy so she decided to run up and down the bleacher and of course she fell and hit her chin really hard. The next game she got bored again and decided to run around she came running back to us and went to climb up the bleachers and missed. She hit her face three times. We ended up having to go to the ER that night and she had to get 5 stiches on her eyebrow. Of course she was really tough and thought it was cool. Now when we go to the games Mat makes her sit still. He thinks we should make her wear a helment.

Andrew's Blog

Andrew started his own blog. http://scurfybudoo.blogspot.com/ Please go check it out. He is very proud of it and is having a fun time. He would love to get comments or emails from you.

Light Red Shirt

Andi bought me a new shirt. She justified it by saying it is a white and red striped shirt. Mylie calls it a light red shirt. Andrew calls it pink. Below is the fabric of the shirt scanned at different resolutions. The top square is the actual size of the stripes. The middle square is at about four feet away. The bottom square is about 4 inches away. Take the survey on the right side to let me know what you think: red and white striped, light red, or pink?

Big Baby Bump Banner

Alice 105.9 is a local radio station with a contest to see who can make the best belly banner advertising their radio station. The banner must be painted or drawn on a third trimester pregnant belly. The public helps decide which is best, so go to their website and check out the other entries. Ours is below. The winner gets $2200 worth of baby related supplies.

What Andrew Would Rather Eat

I asked Andrew what he would rather eat: brains or an eyeball. He thought eyeballs would be tastier. He asked his class and was crushed to find out that everyone else would rather eat brains. I know I would. What would you chose. Take the poll on the right.

Week of Birthday Fun!

Mylie's birthday was this past week and she turned 5!! I cannot believe that my baby is 5. She was so excited and wants to be big so bad. We had a great week celebrating with her.

On her actual birthday (Jan 27) we went to Chuck E. Cheese. The kids had a blast. We ate pizza, cotton candy, popsicles, care bear shaped rice krispy treats, opened presents and of course we played a lot. We ended up being there 3 hours!! It was a great day.

On Saturday we had a birthday party for her up in Longmont (Nana's house). With both families and some friends we had about 30 people there. It was very special for Mylie and she felt very loved. We had a fun day of roasting hot dogs, playing bocce ball, playing games, going on a treasure hunt, opening even more presents and eating cake and ice cream. Mylie had a great time with all of her family. She loves them all so much.

Iowa Vacation

Andi and I spent the past couple days in Des Moines for my company’s holiday party. Iowa is charming in a boring kind of way. What else is there to do in a city with nothing to do when you are in a hotel with the one you love … go out to eat. We ate at Skips, The Iowa Beef Steak House, The Waveland Café and B&Bs Deli – all local restaurants with Iowa flare. We had a really fun time and we always look forward to … the restaurants.
