Streeker

This morning has been so eventful.  Our little man got to jump in the shower with me and refused to get out, then he got all dried up and lotioned with daddy.  As I was getting ready I decided to paint my nails,  thinking it would just be nice to have a little color in my life, plus my nails are all long now.  Chris was sitting with me on the bed as I was doing so then our little man surprised us.  Clayton came into the room yelling about caca and ew....low and behold he had taken off his diaper which he had pooped in and was grossed out about it. So Chris jumped out of the bed and grabbed him while me with my wet nails tried to get a diaper and stuff to get him cleaned up...so proud of myself because I didn't mess them up.  Clayton was so funny about it all, he was just saying ew the whole time as we tried to take care of him and then I got the privilege to go and search the house for any diaper remains/content.  Man what a morning.

I'm at work and.... *Lauren loves Victoria*....this was typed by my friend Lauren Perrier that I work with while she sat at my desk, silly girl. Here is a picture of the two of us from a while ago as we crossed paths at the zoo.  She cracks me up, definitely lightens up my day at work.

We went to a LAN party last night at the Severson's and I was actually shocked that Chris wanted to bring the computer, for the longest time he didn't want to because he was afraid that he would slow everyone down on the games. But he did bring it and had fun.  He got home at like 1:30am and I left at like 9:45pm to get Clayton home and in his bed, which I clonked out too and didn't realize Chris was home and in bed with me till way later this morning.  Gosh, there just isn't enough hours in a day.  Clayton was so sad that I left this morning, my hours really need to go back down to part time because it is really impacting him.  He just cried and screamed when I left this morning and was banging on the window crying as he watched me leave, so sad.

Fun times

OMG...my son cracks me up so bad, we were having dinner on Tuesday and I had made my lazy man lasagna, so yummy.  Before I could add the meat and dish out all the food Clayton pushed over a chair and had commenced eating out of the pan and was shoveling the food in his mouth as fast as he could before his daddy came and got him.  And as you can tell from the photo, after he was done eating he was told that he might need a bath.  Clayton loving baths wasn't going to chance 'may' needing one, he made sure he got one.  He rubbed his dirty hands all over his face and put his bowl on the top of his head...it wasn't empty either.  So I thinking it was funny grabbed the camera and he posed for the picture, that is him saying cheese.  LOL...I love him!

Yesterday being my day off, you would think I would take it easy after being sick almost all week with sinusitis.  Nope, I had to wash clothes, go grocery shopping, stop at the bank, find Clayton some church shoes, get tomatoes from my in laws' garden for Chris, rearrange and go through our storage unit so we can put our bikes in there instead of in our bedroom and van, and much much more.  Then I made a delicious dinner of broccoli, chicken, and cheese soup.  Days off aren't really like a day off at all, it seems to be one of my most busiest days out of all of them.  Clayton was getting cranky through all the errands but he did love getting his picture taken though.  The picture with him in black he was actually saying 'cheese.'  Too cute!

I am so tired today, I worked at the temple this morning and one of the gals from the next shift was there a little early and we sat and chatted for a while.  Her husband is a doctor and we were talking about my health and my issue with weight and my thyroids.  She suggested that I ask about hashimoto disease.  Evidently it attacks the thyroid and causes the medicine to not work as effectively.  The thing is, the is the second time someone has mentioned that to me in the last month...maybe I should have mine tested or find out if that is my problem.  Gotta talk to Chris about it later tonight.

Utah State Fair

 So as you can tell from the many pictures, we had a lot of fun at the Utah State Fair last week.  We went last Wednesday with Marcella and her boys.  Clayton and Chris really enjoyed the hilarious divers that played around like clowns on the diving board, the only thing I could really see is the pounding sun in my face.  But I do have to agree that they were kind of funny with their jokes and colorful suits.

We took Clayton to look at all the animals at the fair, which we had to see them all so Lorimar can pass of one of his scout things.  I thought he would love it, since we go to Wheeler Farm all the time and look at the animals there...nope!  He was actually really afraid of them, especially the roosters that kept crowing.  It was so funny watching him cling to Chris and I every time the chickens and roosters made a sound.  When we got to see the cows, that was a different story.  Clayton thought it was funny that the cows were mooing so he did it too and it was so dang hilarious, it was as if he was trying to talk back to them.

As we walked around the fair they had some of these boards you could stick your face in and take pictures, which we did.  Hence the reason we have all these cool pictures of us on the farm..lol!

Potty training Clayton is going really slow, we are kind of taking our time with it till he is really showing interest in it.  He did one day want to go sit on the potty though.  He was playing with his Halloween costume that we just got him and in taking it off he felt like he had to take his diaper off too.  Which he kind of tore in the process, then Chris took him to the bathroom were he persisted on having a potty snack, which is one of the M&Ms we have in the potty jar for when he goes.  Then I asked him if he wanted to wear big boy undies, thinking he wouldn't have a clue what I was talking about, which he didn't but still said yes.  I got out a pair of spider man undies...way cute.  He thought it was the coolest thing EVER!  Which I have to agree, he did look so darn cute in them.  My little boy is getting to big.  Chris didn't like the idea of having him in just undies so to make him feel better I put them on over his diaper, which Clayton didn't care either way.  Here is some adorable pics of him in his costume and then in his cool big boy undies.  Many has he grown up fast...I love being a mom!

September already :O

I can't believe the year is nearly over, it feels as though I haven't written much at all on here.  So I am not pregnant this month, so we are off to try for next month.  I think a part of me is a little anxious to get pregnant because everyone keeps telling me that maybe it'll take me a long time to have another or ask 'would you be happy with just one?'  I know that I would be happy with just my little man, he is my life.  I just think it would be nice to add to our family, and I have been promised that I would be able to be fruitful in baring children.  Doesn't mean I want a dozen or anything.

There has been a lot of changes at work, Lindsey was let go..sad day.  Nicole, the owner, said that she need to let her go because she wanted to bring on two new girls, one for the sales manager position and the other for media and phones, mainly because Heather will not be returning after she has her baby in November.  Which doesn't make sense then why she would let Lindsey go.  But there has been a lot of complaints from customers about her and almost half the staff doesn't really care a lot for her.  Plus Nicole needed to give her hours to the new girls.  It is just sad because Lindsey was my main source of conversation at work, we are buds.  And Lindsey just got a promotion and a raise just a few weeks before being let go, I miss her already and she has been gone for like a week and a half.  We'll still be in touch and be friends.

Clayton is getting to be so big.  Last night I was looking at him and he just looks like a little boy, not my little baby anymore.  He has such a strong personality and he is just so full of adventure.  Man does that little man complete me, he always knows how to put a smile on my face and bring a tear to my eye.  I love him so much.

For labor day we took Clayton to Hollywood Connection with the Kasules where we rode the rides, ate pizza, played at the arcade, and played mini golf.  I was so proud of myself, Bekah made a bet with everyone that the person who got the first hole in one got free dinner, and I  was the first and only one who got a hole in one, which was actually a complete accident, I was just goofing off and hitting the ball as hard as I could and in whatever direction.  To be honest, I stink at sports, especially golf, at least in bowling I could get the lane with the bumpers...lol! It is so fun going to places like Hollywood Connection with Clayton, he is at that age where he can do things and wants to do them.
