so, I was blog-hopping today and I looked at when I last blogged...can you believe it has already been a week???
I can't...
where has the time gone??? I feel sometimes like life is just flying by and I am missing so much...it's weird, really...
just one day you're at church on a Sunday, the next day, it seems, you wake up but it's Thursday, not Monday...where did the week go??? that is the story of my life...
I am amazed that Scott has already been in my life for 3.5 months...technically longer if you count the pregnancy...but 3.5 months...he has grown so much...
one of his favourite things is to fly abouve our heads and bounce in the air...it cracks him up...he's got the sweetest giggle and I just love it!!! Will makes him laugh better than I do...he is really ticklish for Will, too...not so much for me...on Sunday, I was getting him dressed for church and he just lay there laughing...it was so funny and cute...
he loves having a blanket with him at all times so he can suck on it...it gives his gums so much relief as his tooth comes in...I got some really cute pictures of him sucking on a towel this week...he is adorable!!!
not a whole lot has really gone on in the past week to be honest...I went to a baby shower yesterday for a friend of mine who is due in about 3 weeks...she is having a boy...I got to see lots of old friends from my old ward at church there which was really nice...they knew me before and while I was pregnant, but I moved before I had Scott, so this was a good chance for them to see him.
I have been doing a lot of scrapbooking...Scott is still not sleeping during the days for me to do it, I just hold him and scrapbook...I am the queen of multi-tasking!!! sometimes I am able to put him down in the swing for a few minutes so I can use both my hands, but then he may grump again, so back to one-handed I go...oh, the life of a mother who has to keep a baby quiet so daddy can sleep!!!
life is pretty good, overall...
we got termites, though...that sucks!!! they are in the master bathroom right behind the toilet...kinda creeps me out going to the bathroom knowing that bugs are sticking their heads out of my wall...
having them makes me feel so dirty and trailer-trashy...lol
but, it's not like I can do anything to stop termites from invading my house...unless I don't want a house with wood...but wood is very structurally sound..it definitely has it's perks...know what I mean???
they're not like cockroaches...dirty, messy house can equal cockroaches...that I can prevent (which, by the way, I do...cockroach-free home here, fyi), but, termites, yeah, can't prevent those :)
so, the bug guys are coming tomorrow to, cross your fingers, kill them...
but i do have to say, termites look nothing like I would have thought...they're not cute, by any stretch of the imagination, but they don't really look like they could eat wood...but, what do I know??? I never saw one before I saw it poking it's head out of my wall...which I then compared to a picture I found on the internet...(I 'heart' the internet)
but onto happier topics...
Scott and i and Katrine went for our weekly 1.5 hr walk today...it was so nice...the weather was perfect...aka not so hot that I couldn't breathe...I enjoy being able to breathe.
I am glad that we can go walking together..I know if I was left to my own devices, I would not map out and walk a 1.5 hr. walk by myself...I wouldn't...time flies, though, when we walk together...and it is really good for Scott cause he always sleeps for at least 1 hr. of the walk...being outside really relaxes him...
well, I guess that is all for now...
I promise to try to do better with my updates and try to do it again before another week...
I can't...

well, I now have my computer back so I can get back to blogger-land...
so much has happened inthe apst two weeks I would not even begin to know where to start, but I can tell you this...
on the same day, our washing machine and computer both broke...that was a very crappy day :)
we just got a new washer deliever on Monday and it is so pretty and big...LOVE it!!! and we just got the computer back today...
everything is going pretty well in our lives...Scott is teething (already)...he has been for a couple of weeks now...he has one tooth on the bottom coming in, but it has not broken the skin as of yet...opoor baby is in so much pain...I feel for him...
I think he is also about to go through a growth spurt...on Sunday we both went down for a nap at about 4:30-5pm...I figured he would wake up a couple hours later...I was up at 7...he woke up at 2am to eat...and didn't get up again til about 7 Monday morning...normally he only sleeps another couple of hourse after eating, so it is amazing he went another 5 hours...
I had to go get a new cell phone today...I took it off the charger last night at 10pm, when I woke upa t 7, the battery charge had already dropped one bar, by 8:15, it had dropped another bar...so, I figured something was wrong...so I got a new phone, went home, tried to use the phone, and lo-and-freakin'-behold, the new phone didn't work...it wouldn't get any reception at all, so I had to go back in to get another phone...I had 3 different cell phones in one day...
we had Solomon here since Saturday...last weekend we had him and we went to a place celled "Boomers!"...they have mini golf, arcade, bumper baots...all kinds of fun stuff...we played mini golf and I won by 1 point...I am woman, hear me roar!!! Solomon is still convinced I cheated (I was the score-keeper, you see)...but, alas, it just comes down to him being a sore loser...lol. I scored 61, Will scored 62 and Solomon scored 64...it was lots of fun...
oh, dear me, what else has been going on??? I don't even know...I will have to think over the next couple of days and keep updating...
well, I don't wantt o be on the comp much longer...I am exhausted and will probably be going to bed soon, but I just have to go check out all your blogs now...
so, ttfn!!!

well, I guess it is about time I update you all on my life...
there has not been a whole lot going on here, to be honest...
the trees have been budding for awhile now, so it is quite nice out here...not like Canada, I am sure...
I am taking a photography class at SBOU (scrapbookeronline university)...we are going to learn the basics about terms and definiteions and how to do all kinds of stuff with our cameras...I am really looking forward to it :)
I have been doing a lot of reading on how to make candles and soaps...there is so much more to it than I ever would have thought...funnily enough, a few years back I decided to make candles for a couple people for christmas...as I have been reading about candle making, I don't think I did one thing right that year I made those candles...I wonder if those candles even ever burned....somehow, I doubt it...lol
Scott is drooling like there is no tomorrow and has been for probably 1-1.5 wks...it is crazy!!! I did not know someone could produce that much drool...oh, how I hope he is not teathing yet...but I have heard it can happen this early...I jsut hope it's not :)
I went out walking a couple of times last week...on Wednesday, we went for 1.5 hrs...Scott just loves being outside...never utters a sounds...he fell asleep for probably about half the walk...then on Friday, we walked to the park (about 20 min walk one way) for a play group with some ladies at church...
I realized last night that it has been 3 months since I have slept the whole night....I can't believe it...the time has gone by so fast...it's jsut amazing...but I wouldn't trade it for the world...although, I think I am going to need to start an actual schedule for cleaning and things to do...with learning and planning to make candles and soaps, wanting to scrapbook, laundry, dishes, walking, photography class, taking care of Scott...I just have to actually sit down and decide what days each thing will get done...cause I cannot do all items every day of the week...I just can't do it :)
we're probably going to cancel our house phone all together and jsut bump up our cell phone minutes...Vonage seems to be really interfering with our computer which is excrutiatingly annoying...
what is this??? another spider...I am finding grossly big daddy long-legs every day in our apt...they are totally grodey!!! excuse me while I go kill another one...okay, I did it!!!
I've got some crazy allergies going on today...I jsut feel like crap...I am so glad Scott is already in bed cause I just have so much to do and cannot hold him...he has been falling asleep alot earlier than normal lately, but has still only been getting up once in the night...
I figured I would take this opportunity to catch you all up on life here, and then I have to go do dishes...once I do that, I think I am going to start working on our week 1 assignment for the photography class...
so, I guess I had better get going...
talk to you all again soon
oh, I guess I should also add that my chirporactor has told me that if I want to take the training to be a massage therapist, he will hire me...how cool is that???
