i finished!



I finished the last book to the Twilight series. It was better than i thought it would be. these books are a fun read, but i wouldnt call them "great" or the best ever like my 14 year old niece would. But they are entertaining and i love to have a good book to read. it boggles brad how i can read a book in 1-2 days. isnt that the point? now i am lost without a good book to read. any suggestions? if you have read this, what did you think? or of any of the twilight books?

Sorry it has been so long. i started working at the hard hat last week. now that we will be paying rent, we need some more mula. i love that i am able to be home during the day. i am surprised by how many foreign people come in on their way to yellowstone.

So sunday evening we were outside because it was nice and cool and Hunter LOVES to be outside. He made his way over to where his pool is and next thing i know he is all wet. so i take off his clothes and new shoes. I look away and brad is laughing. i look back to find that Hunter has thrown in his new shoes! oh well. Then he throws in his clothes. he does it over and over becuase he loves the splash. he played in the water for an hour! he is a water baby and loves to play.

My dear friend Maggie is in town and i get to see her! hurrah! i havent seen her since i was first pregnant with hunter. maggie and jake were the first ones we told actually. we will have fun together!

Hunter is watching sesame street right now. love that show although elmo is annoying.

Hunter is all better now, no more spots or fever. hurray!

SPOTS

So saturday was our last saturday together since i will most likely be working every saturday now. I am now employed at the hard hat steakhouse and grill. thank goodness i have a job. this is a sidenote but we were hoping brad would get more hours this week because we need that, unfortunately the person he works with informed him that he will be gone all week! so atleast i will be able to contribute.
ANYWAY, so after the lake we came home and put hunter down for a nap. when he woke up i noticed he had red spots all over his face and worse on his body!!! i mentioned before he had a fever, so we were thinking chicken pox. long story short we went in to the urgent care yesterday and the PA thinks it is roseola and so he is on antibiotcs. He woke up this morning with the spots a bit lighter. thank goodness! i am glad that it isnt measles, chicken pox or anything else. whew. i guess we may get to experience the chicken pox another day!

yo gabba gabba

www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9PqjMSNfkU

The video above is a song from the only show Hunter watches. he LOVES it and really it teaches great things. I only let him watch it once a week though because he is a very active boy who loves to explore and play, but when he watches this he totally zones out which is kind of scary to see the difference that tv makes. SO when i do let him watch we log on to nick jr and i will dance and sing with him so that atleast it is interactive.

last night hunter woke up with a fever and he was cranky all day. poor little miserable boy. i put him to bed at 9:30 and he woke up an hour later just screaming and inconsolable. So my desperation led to me turning on the laptop, placing it on our bed and as soon as hunter saw what was going on he stopped crying. thank you to nickjr.com for having the yo gabba gabba show on!! so hunter was in the middle of us sitting right up watching this show while brad was actually trying to sleep and complaining how annoying it was. Why hunter loves it i don't know. maybe the singing and dancing! so i let him watch it for 45 minutes, i knew he was soo tired and then i put him back in his crib and let him cry himself to sleep. Atleast he wasnt screaming like before! you have got to watch the video! let me know if you love it or hate it. i love it, brad hates it! copy and paste it to let it take you there

Tabletop dancer

"he's a maniac, maniac on the dance floor" We had our friends over for a bbq and games. Hunter was put on the table at some point while the music was playing and this was the result. he loves to dance and he loves music. What is really funny is that he is very particular to music. the other night we were coming home from WINCO and it was getting close to Hunter's bed time. So i pushed SCAN on the radio until there was a song he liked. The song he "liked", stopped crying and started dancing, was some hip hop/ r&b song that we have never listened to before. I looked back and there was hunter dancing away! Brad and i couldn't believe it! This boy is so funny and particular about music. So in the video he will do some "clogging" fat guy in a little suit moves as well as show you where his belly button is. He definately gets his moves from brad!

new Baby




Nattie and Nick (Brad's brother) had their baby boy today! i am so surprised that nattie went 10 days early and that this baby is not dark and hairy like nick! We went when he was just born but we didnt get to see him. they took him away to check him out. when they did bring him back it was nattie's first time to hold him. he are pictures of that moment.
