A Few Musings of a BORED Dad all alone

So, since I really have nothing else going on in my life until I go and dominate the weekly dodgeball game in a couple hours, I figured I would free some of the thoughts I have filling up my mind grapes.

First, I would love to vent a little about the "creepy gym guy" that always seems to be about 35 feet behind me to the left every time I turn around at the gym. Thankfully, this weirdo does not show his beautiful face everyday and ruin my workout, but it does happen way too much for comfort. I know you all know EXACTLY who I am talking about- The middle-aged borderline overweight guy in the cut off jean shorts and circa 1985 Riddell sweatband dousing the curl machine in literal gallons of sweat. Yeah, that guy. Dude, if you happen to be reading my blog too, please go away.

Second, may I take a second and rant about the Wii? Since my girls have left me for a record setting 2 weeks, I have been using this drug called Wii to a nearly ridiculous extent. I have to admit that the first few times I played I really was not blown away. I played the Wii Sports game and I thought, "Yeah, this is cute". Then I borrowed Zelda and Tiger Woods Golf from a couple friends, and WOW. Holy addicting- Note to Heroin, you've got nothing on the Wii.

Home in Sac

Kaylee and I have been in Sacramento with my family for the last little while. It has been very fun and we are having a blast, but we seem to be missing a certain someone very much....SHANE! He is itching for us to get back! He's so good to even let us come.

Kaylee is loving being with her grandparents and aunties. She is getting to that age where she knows them more now. She walks around the house calling "bam-pa" (Grandpa), "la la" (Hayley), "Mamamama " (Grandma) and "na na" (Annie). It is SO cute. My dad even bought Kaylee her own little pool for the back yard. Once we get her in it it is very hard to get her out! She's shivering and will still shake her head and say no when you try to get her out. She's a little fish I tell you! It will definitely be hard to leave (more for my fam) but we've had a great time!

Oh yea...

WE'RE PREGNANT!

Pack #2 is due to arrive January 24th 2009! We are very excited!

So much to tell

Well we have been without Internet for a while now. I (Shara) was at a family reunion in Montana with no computer to speak of and now feel as though I need to play catch up big time. So here we go...

*Kaylee is Walking! She has been for a while and its still a little wobbly, but we love it. She just goes everywhere!! It is definitely more work, but she is SO cute, so we are so excited!

*Kaylee is also saying so many more words. Grandpa, light, book, baby, wow, doggie, cracker, duck etc -of course this is all in cute little 14 month old jabber, but still :)
*Kaylee and I went to Deerlodge Montana (yes it is a place) for my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. We fit over 60 people in one house, with ONE bathroom, and it was STILL fun!

*Shane has been killing it at work. He works hard for us and it is starting to really pay off! We love you baby!

*Kaylee is a DRAMA QUEEN! She will make the most insane faces, and she is just so dramatic. It is so funny to see such a little person have such a BIG personality!

Team USA

Well Happy 4th of July to all. Its crazy but this use to be my favorite holiday. Pancake Breakfast at the church, town parade, then off to Hagan Park for food, fun and fireworks! Oh how times change. Still we decided to make the most of this patriotic holiday and show our love for the good ol' USA! Today we're enjoying friends, family and BBQ yum! Here is our own "Team USA." Enjoy!

HELP

Kaylee likes to grind her teeth together. It makes the most terrible noise plus I think she's chipped her front tooth doing it. We spank her little mouth when she does it but she just laughs. She doesn't get that we don't want her to do it and even when I am coming towards her telling her no she laughs.
I have no clue what to do to make her understand its bad and to stop. Any Suggestions?

Messy Miss

Not to make this one of those blogs that gets added to everyday, but I think a few blogworthy things have happened in our family's life (and by family, I mean Kaylee) since Shara's post yesterday. We really should just rename this blog Kaylee Christine.

Shara's Aunt Linda bought our little queen a baby doll yesterday at Ross. I'll be honest here; I didn't think that Kaylee would really get it right away. I figured she would probably like the doll, and probably play with it for a second and then forget it. Anyway, here are the pictures...




And who doesn't love pictures of kids covered in Dinner? I kinda felt bad because she ended up with spaghetti in her eyes. Ah well. At least she ate.
