Nap time!

It is amazing how little I can get done in a day since Drew came into my life. I love him, don't get me wrong, but he is sooo clingy. He has to be by my side all day long. Playing by himself just doesn't seem to cut it for more than 15 minutes at a time. He probably needs a sibling. I'm definitely not making any announcements! I'm not quite ready to hug the toilet all day again. Anyway, I've come to cherish nap times. They are short and sweet most of the time, so I have to be choosy about how I spend my free time and blogging was forgotten for awhile. Dustin and I celebrated our 3rd aniversary on the 13th of August. To celebrate we went hiking in Grand Teton National Park and then to the Bar J Wranglers dinner show near Jackson. It was a lot of fun. I highly recommend the show. I hadn't ever seen them before and they are very talented and the food wasn't too bad. I guess it is supposed to be similar to what the cowboys ate out on the trail, which I was a little worried would be very nasty, but it was good. Drew also got two new teeth this last week. This is never a fun experience. He had a permanent runny nose and bad disposition for a few days and then the teeth finally popped through-8 down and 12 to go. He also got a haircut on Saturday. He was starting to look like a girl with his long flowing hair, so I decided to bite the bullet and asked my mom to help me give him a trim. I dread haircuts because it is usually a 15 minute wrestle to hold his head still as he screams and my mom clips as fast as she can. He surprised us all this time by holding perfectly still and even laughed when Aunt Sara asked if it tickled. We were done in 3 minutes! Yahhooo!

What am I doing?

So, I thought I would never join the blogging trend. For one, I feel like I am going through a major antisocial phase of life and who would actually care to read my blog??? Two, even if someone suprises me and wants to read my blog--what do I write??? My life is not exciting or interesting. BUT, I have enjoyed reading friends blogs and I have been able to catch up with friends I haven't seen or heard from in forever. So, in an effort to return the "fun" I have had reading blogs, I will try to make my life more interesting or maybe I will throw in a few make believe stories just to keep things "fun".

This is me and my busy little boy, Drew. He is all boy and almost always busy. The trick is to keep him busy doing things that are safe and clean (by clean I don't mean not messy but able to be cleaned up successfully when the activity is over ). Drew will probably be the most common subject of my blog because his life is way more thrilling than mine and he's a lot cuter than me too. So I'm starting my blogging experiment. Hope it goes well!
