Kent Blames Me

LOL!!!

Potty Time

So Potty Training Sucks! I did give it a try but said so say Zak is back in diapers! I didn't give up, I swear I am just to earth conscious to do two loads of laundry a day not to mention all the lysol and other cleaners I was spraying ALL over my house! Ok I gave up!
I was talking to a group of my friends all of which have potty trained boys and every one of them said their boys were 3 by the time they were trained. As I was sitting there and Zak was peeing all over my friend Tiffany's house I made the decision to give up, for now. I am not sure why I started in the first place.




This is on day one of potty training, I should have known at this point it wasn't going well! :-) On day seven I went back to Wal-Mart and bought more diapers!

I had to post this picture because it does prove, that in fact, this is my kid. My favorite way to waste a morning too!

Its been a while

So we now play catch up! The 20th of last month I got a great excuse to get away. Taleesa, my baby sister, is getting married on the 9th of May. So all the sisters met in Salt Lake to go shopping. No I didn't take Zak and I was so excited, in theory! I did have a GREAT time but it was so so weird. I really missed my little shadow. I couldn't believe it! And honestly I didn't know what to do with myself. I felt a little bit useless.
We were really productive and by 1:30 Saturday afternoon all we had to do was buy Taleesa's make up, easy enough!
It was good to see Tianna and Josh too! I had to add this picture because it is so cute (and the rest of the pictures that weekend were of Taleesa in here dress and you all are just going to have to wait to see that!)



Kent and I made it through NASCAR and had a great time. It wasn't as warm as I could hope but we didn't have to bust out the ponchos so I am not complaining. I wish I had pictures but after the first few years Kent and I stopped taking pictures. I don't know why - Melanie has great pictures on her blog so check those out! :-)




We had Bryson's 3rd birthday last weekend and that was so fun. I love excuses to get together and just hang out and let the kids play. We are lucky as a family that we get together a lot like that and I love every minute!
I am sure that I am missing very important parts of my month but seriously Zak is fake crying by me telling me to feed him like a baby! Yes, I just yelled at him to eat his dinner and asked him if I have to feed him like a baby....apparently I do!
And on that note This is the BIG weekend that I am going to start potty training. I will have to keep you updated on how I handle this new challenge. I have put it off long enough.

Valentine's Day

Here's the Valentine Hat! Ms Rose Mary apologized all week and did her best to make Valentines projects less feminine. I thought this was great - they painted it Blue to "boy it up"



Grandma Anderson had to mail her Valentines gift because they spent the week in New Orleans. This worked fine for Zak he loves getting presents - yes he has figured it out just like every other kid and he just can't get enough - PRESENTS!



This weekend was fairly uneventful EXCEPT I got Kent to take me to a movie! Yes it was Valentines and I don't think he felt he could say No - and he couldn't have, I would NOT have let him get out of this one! We saw "Grand Torino" Wow what a good movie. Kent went because he thought there was an old guy that shot people from his porch (you know he would think that was just great! :-) ) But luckily it was more than that and even he liked it. I am no critic but "two thumbs up"!

This week was the official Kick Off to NASCAR! Kent and I are looking forward to a weekend in Vegas (and with out a kid, sorry Zak we love you but still looking forward to dropping you off at Grandmas) - all I can say is the weather better be good. I HATE wearing sweatshirts and ponchos to races!

Boil'n Whitie's

Friday Night Kent planed a friend get together - In my opinion nothing fun or productive was accomplished but he would disagree. They gathered a stack of the antlers from deer shot this year to boil (and I can't believe I am saying this) the scalps off of them. Zak was stuck in the house with the women for most of the night but we did get him out for a minute of Male education. Kent took the picture and Shem (know for his uncanny skills of making antlers looking way bigger than they really are) helped Zak hold the MASSIVE antlers from the White Tail that Kent shot in South Dakota.


"Look dad they are so HUGE I can't even hold them up!"

I'm a Big Boy Now

We had to get Zak a big boy bed. I thought we could put it off for a few more months but Kent and I woke up way to many mornings with him asleep on the couch or floor. He would get out of his crib at night and couldn't get back in! So we rounded up a bed and new sheets, CARS of course! His room isn't finished yet (I actually should be working on that instead of this but...)I will post pictures of his room completely decorated as soon as I finish it. In my head it is really cute, now if I can just pull it together. We will see!

Happy New Year

No Blogging is not my New Years Resolution - but it wouldn't have been a bad one! I just need to get back in the habit for sure. This is the only journaling I fit in my life so I need to be better. Also, it is nice that my family and friends can keep up (with our oh so crazy life) - Really I have a two year old it can't be that boring.

 

This is a picture of Zak's New Year Hat! He is in the best day care with the best teachers. Now that he is in the toddler class they do a craft everyday, it is so fun to pick him up and see what they did that day. This was the cutest - I had to share!
