A New Room

Lately I've been trying to finish up a bunch of projects around the house. I (and when I say I, I mean Silas) started with a mud hall. We've never had anywhere to drop out coats and bags so they clutter up the table and then I yell. So we transformed a bare wall to a hooker wall. I really like it. (First two pics) Then I decided to carry it into the dining room....We finished last night. I LOVE the way it turned out. I still have to paint, but isn't it great?! It feels like its very own space now. Now I think I feel confident enough to tackle our lack of a mantle... I've been gathering ideas for that for years... I drew one up that I really like but I'll probably modify a bit. I just need to figure out what to use for a hearth. Although the blanket nicely shields my children from the death trap drywall edges, I think it's time. Any ideas? Brick, stone?

Snow and stuff

It snowed! For the longest time (my whole life) I've never really enjoyed snow. I like to look at it falling from the sky at night. the way it brightens up the entire sky and somehow feels so magical. But when it comes to actually going outside I will pass. I finally figured out why. I've never once owned a pair of snow boots, or snow pants. Or real gloves, just your cheapo one sized fits all (except my defected) hands. Maybe if I had had all that stuff i could have enjoyed it. maybe.

My kids on the other hand don't care that they do have all that stuff. They still choose to go outside sockless in their underwear. Especially Max. He's definitely an outdoorsman.

I love Utah in the winter, I just hate the cold. Make sense?

We're Baaaaack!

Ahoy hoy! After being gone on a year long sabbatical I've decided it's time for me to make my big comeback via mobile device. So you will be receiving quick excerpts (about the length of time it takes me to do mah biznaz) of our ongoings. Please forgive me in advance for the grammatical and spelling errors. My fingers aren't what they used to be.

UNO MAXO

APRIL 13th.
MAX BEAR HENDRICKS
turned 1 today!

AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

My sweet sweet little man.
A year ago today you were swimmin' around in my uterus.
(have you ever noticed how it's called a uterUS, not uter I?)
My how times flies.
So this afternoon mean ol mommy decided
to cut his nap short cause i wanted to play with him

bad idea.

Food Max likes:  green beans, ravioli, fettucine (basically all pasta) strawberries, sweet potatoes, all things sweet of course, string cheese, and pretty much anything he see's anyone eating.
Max grunts at us when he wants food we are scarfing down,
and if we don't quickly fork some into his can he starts to scream.
The days of having my own food are over.
Which i guess is good cause Wyatt doesn't eat anything.

So while we were grocery shopping today,
Wyatt informed everyone that his brother Max is 1 and that today is infact, his birthday.
Then he invited them to a party.
But only AFTER he told the people talking Spanish
"Cinco blah blah Blinko, we don't talk Spanish here people, it's WALMART"
I beg to differ.

I'm pretty sure Max can crawl on his knees, but every time I come into the room
I find him on his hands and knees and then he drops down to his stomach to the army crawl.
For Max's Birthday he got a high chair!
just what he wanted...

It's the bomb.com
Wyatt was pretty upset Max wasn't getting anything good.
But Max didn't seem to mind.

CAKE TIME!
Max was pretty interested in the flame.
And of course, the camera ran out of memory right before blowing out the candle.

.

If i hadn't taken that #1 away he wouldn't have eaten cake.

 

And there it was....

Happy Birthday Baby Bear!!

We love you!!

Fetus

I have enjoyed being a mother thus far

 and last week when I went to see Dr. Bean, I received shocking news.

He couldn't locate the baby's heart beat.

Only mine.

.

 

Now settle down, he could hear it kicking and stuff

But he wanted to see that the beat was 

regular or something, so he decided to do an ultra sound.

AND THEN....

 He said,

"Its a boy."

Need I say more?
