Macy comes to town

Little miss Macy came to town for a lunch date. We didn't make it to her birthday party, so we were unable to give her present to her. The apron fit perfectly, and the rolling pin and cookie cutter will hopefully get used in the next few years! We went to lunch at Main street Cafe and it was as good as I remember. Macy and Gus of course had to give kisses again. too cute

takes 2 naps a day ranging from 30 minutes to 2 hours each nap

puts himself to sleep now. for naps he will cry for 1 minute then talk to himself and his teddy bear for 20 minutes before falling asleep, but for some reason when I put him down at night he will cry a lot longer and it has been like this the last two months. I have tried leaving the light on, and other such things but he still will cry for 20 minutes. breaks my heart

9 month gusbert I am loving the sound of your hands slapping against the wood floor and your feet swishing as you crawl from here to there and everywhere.

party nails

My version of Onjali's party nails. Mine turned out so thick and gloopy, I need to ask her how she exactly did hers. I chipped all of them off by the next day, so a lot of work for one day of party nails.

scenes from a sunday

we went to my sistas to make crepes and play games. lots of crepes were devoured and not much game playing went on. kyle thought he saw a fox den so the men and kinlee hiked up to it, but guess what no den. ha

Exploring

Family Night

we have been doing a lot of what is pictured in the above picture. Kyle bikes basically everyday, and since I paid MONEY to run the stg marathon again I started training for that. One of Kyle's riding buddies told him to do hill work to get faster, and so we make a family night out of it. Kyle rides to the Sand Hollow hill and I ride (in my car) with Gus and the stroller to the top of it. Then while he bikes it 3-4 times I run it 1-2 times. It is a killer I haven't been able to run the whole thing without walking a couple of times, but one day I will. Pushing the stroller up it is a nightmare as well. I have taken numerous pictures with my phone, because the time of day that we go is epic. I love that we can make it a family night, and Gus loves being outside so it is a win win sit. The things we will do to ourselves.

Awesome

The day before we flew to Sac town, Kyle went to warped tour with his buddy. He went specifically because Unwritten Law was going to be there, and his dream happened. He got to take a picture with Scott Russo (sigh) the lead singer of Unwritten Law. He sent me the pic and titled the email Awesome, hence the post title. He kept sending it to a wrong email, so some girl with the email emilyalthea@hotmail has got this picture at least four times. ha
