KAIDEN'S BIRTHDAY!

Birthday fun!

 I can't turn the cake picture...    

My little man is one.  

 

My New Macbook.

i have done it. I am officially Mac user. So far so good! Still have to figure out some shortcuts (I'm so used to the 'right click' option... not sure what to do without it... any thoughts?)

Im excited to post more now that I have a computer that actually works well!

Climbing boy

I'm in trouble.

Kaiden on his powerwheels!!!

How did she do it???

so, I have watched Julie and Julia about 5 times now, and each time i do I marvel at how amazing an accomplishment it was for Julie Powell to do what she did. it makes me question my own blog. I would LOVE to have the kind of readership, but really, I guess you have to have more interesting things to say than reporting with amazement that your little boy held and drank from his sippy cup all. by. himself. What else do I have to write about? I suppose I could rant... about things I hear on the news that make me so mad (like the fact that there is a school distict in Texas that still allows teachers to paddle students!!????!!!) or to marvel at the little things in life. But in the end, I can never really settle on a focus.

What is it about blogging? Maybe it's because you can write things for the world to see without being rejected. Normally to get your thoughts out there you have to be approved by editors, publishers and the like. On a blog all you have to do is click publish. So I suppose this bog will stay random... posting the odd picture, the disjointed post.. until perhaps I, like Julie Powell find my own project.

Dream State

So this weekend we went up to whistler to have a relaxing little getaway. We stayed with my parents and as suall were spoiled rotten.

The first night went great with Kaiden's sleep. Got up twice, not bad considering his usual patterns. The second night, not so great. Spent most of the night up and down (mostly up) with a teething little guy. Finally at 3 am we were all asleep. Too bad It didn't last. I was in that ehausted sleep that hoveres on the edge of awake. In the strage place i dreamt that Kaiden was falling. Naturally like any good mommy, I had to catch him. Problem being, Kaiden was not falling, Kaiden was not in our bed, Jon was. In my panis I proceeded to grab onto jon and begin clawing at him to save him from a non exisitant fall. Well He didn't fall, but I do think he may have had a heart attack.

After much aplology we laugh at it now, but let me tell you, lack of sleep can do strange things. At least I know now that my reflexes even in sleep are prettey darn good.

Anyone else have these kids of dream? Or am I really actually losing it??
