Ahhh....Summer!

We've been having the "classic" summer. A bunch of nothing but seem soooo busy!!!

In June, we took Milo to another Mommy and Me swim class. He did great this time, understood a little more than last year. Unfortunately, no pictures. Soon after the classes ended, we switched babysitters. Denise and her sons Brennen and Jaxon have taken Milo into their home when I have to work. Jaxon and Milo, though we've always thought they were peas-in-a-pod, have really become good friends. I watched Jaxon for Denise and got some pictures of these boys playing together.

I've decided that I really need a hobby! Cole is golfing and climbing a lot, but with Milo around, it's hard to do both those things. So, I've started playing with Cole's dSLR. These are just the beginning, with no editing. There's a lot I need to learn!

Ahhh!

School is done! YAY!!!!

It's not all good though. I unfortunately did not get into the nursing program that I applied to and now am rethinking the whole thing. I would want to get my masters to be a CNM, but I don't want to be starting my career at 40. Just not my thing I suppose. So, we're in a "wait and see" type of stance. Focus on the family and home and have a good summer.

After work today, I headed down to my cousin's house. Cole was in the area to pick up a new color plotter courtesy of ksl.com classifieds. So, we all decided to go to dinner. We went to The Pie. I hadn't been there in ages and wasn't aware there was one down in WJ/Draper area. I got a calzone (aka zappy), and though it was good...it wasn't nearly as good as the one I got in Scotland...that one was to die for!

Milo has had an off day today. I guess he's been a bit blue. He really didn't want me to leave him today at the sitters, and she said that he was sad all day. He was really whinny in the car with Cole, but was great at my cousin's house and at dinner. On the way home, he cried for about 20 minutes. OMG, I was going to die! So I started singing Thomas the Train songs, and then Old McDonald, and all sorts of songs. It was the only way to make him stop crying.

When we finally got home, he went nuts! Running all over the place playing with a broken toy. Considering it's Cinco de Mayo, I swear, it was only water in the sippy! I guess this is what happens with an extremely tired 19 month old!

Just thought I'd say

I HATE FINALS WEEK!

there, I feel better. Carry on!

Please, Thank You!

So, we've been working with Milo on sign language a lot since he really doesn't like talking...LOL!

I've been signing off and on with him since he was just a teeny tiny baby, but really started doing more recently. He's been signing please and thank you now for about 2 months or so. Here's a video. I had to ask him to say it, but if you got something he wants, he'll sign without a prompt! :)

He's also modified want and hungry as well. We're working on more signs. It helps that I took so much sign lanugage in school. I was only a few months away from getting certified as an instructor.

Aww! Four years ago

On the 28th of February, Cole and I got married. It's been such a great four years! As soon as we got back from our honeymoon, I started working for ITI (big career change). Shortly after, we bought our home. Then we bought some koi fish, a cat, and a dog. LOL! We went on many trips, saw many things! All these memories did nothing but make our relationship and love stronger. We were blessed with our little Milo.
We are at a great point in our lives. Sure, there are things on the horizion that are life changing, but we'll tackle that as we've done everything else! (Mainly school for me! YIKES!)
I love Cole so much! We offer each other support, love, and we really tend to even each other out. He has been a great husband, a great provider, and the most wonderful father I could have wished for our boy!
Here's to many more years! Watch out Wendover! Here we come! LOL!

Yes, it's been a month

Between Photobucket and their Bandwidth crap and school and starting work again, I just didn't blog for a month! WOW!

Not much going on...how sad is that? Milo had some problems this month. Got some sort of belly troubles and left him with a bad diaper rash. He's still not talking, but has started signing please and thankyou.

I started back at ITI part time. I am working on the food projects, so it's different from what I've done before, so it's nice.

Cole is busy...always drawing or thinking of a new thing to do to the house. He wants to tackle the main bathroom next, but I hope he finishes the basement bedroom and bath first.

A bunch of snow!

I took these pictures when it was still coming down. At that time, it was about 8 inches, I looked online, and it said my little town recieved upwards of 12 inches! In Salt Lake, they had to close down Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons. There was a small avalanche in LCC. I wonder if the garbage man will make it...LOL!
