Meet The Newest Addition

We inherited an amazing upright piano from Kevin's 

Great-Aunt Edyth Mackay.

I am in love...

I found some fabric laying around waiting to be used, 

so I threw it on the bench to help it fit the room better. 

Cute huh?!

    

We got some other knick-knacks and furniture from her as well.

Isn't this pot to DIE for?!

This buffet stole my heart

and..

I bought these curtains last weekend

(not from Aunt Edith, but still new to the house)

Our front room was so barren, 

and now it is so warm and inviting with these new additions.

We picked up a few more things, and I will post them as soon as I find a place for them!

What makes a house a home? 

A Piano

Kevin's Desert Race 4/9/11

Yesterday Kevin got the brilliant idea to race in the 

Desert Race...

Yes.

It has been snowing all weekend.

No.

Kevin did not back out.

Our TOTALLY AWESOME AND SUPPORTIVE NEIGHBORS ;)
Kelly and Jen

came out with him, along with our brother Trent.

Here I am. Clean, warm, and dry... for the next 10 min at least.

Notice all the snow on the ground and how this was a dirt bike race. 

Not a snowmobile race.

Mentally preparing before the Race...

After. 

(3 hours later)

Notice the missing front fender?!

Yeah, 
Kevin raced a grueling 50 miles 
and crashed a few times, 
and luckily got out of it with no major injuries.

With the mix of sand/snow/missing fenders Kevin's goggles rendered them useless the last half of the race.

So he rode without them on.

Thanks to photoshop you are unable to see the 

nasty/sandy snot 

that was pouring out of his nose.

I am such a proud wife!

I know all of you are rushing to judgement of Kevin and I as parents. 


Asking yourself questions like...

 "Did they really drag their 2 month old to a race in the freezing temperature all day?!"

and the answer is..

NO! 

Sam and I attended the Bridal Shower of my lovely friend/employee... 
Krystle W.

 Come check out her awesome blog! via

Krystle is aka Harley

Is Sam a Morning Person?

It might not look like it sometimes...

and he might need convincing on some days...

BUT,

this sweet smile is usually my greeting!

Maybe because he knows its breakfast time.

hehe

I Love my son

Growing up, Baby Gap Bear Suit, and Metallica

I love playing with our little man all day on my days off. 

He is holding his head up so well now, and he wants to do it all the time! 

In the center picture Sam is trying to 

stand up. 

He does really well and always wants to do it. 

My bug is growing up so fast!

After his bath tonight I put on this cute sweatsuit 

that our Aunt Jerri got us from 

BabyGap. 

As you can see... 

Sam had some doubts about this get up,

but he looked SO PRECIOUS!

in other news... 

Sam has this deep stare that he does every couple hours. 

I managed to get that gaze on camera.

When he gets like this I like to read and sing to him.

The song of choice today was 

Unforgiven 2 by Metallica. 

It was playing on the computer and 

Sam LOVED IT.

He was smiling, laughing, cooing and yelling the whole time.

Sam's Uncle Grant is on his mission in Mexico right now and he is a 

Metallica junkie. 

He will be so exited when we tell him the great news that 

his nephew 

is already a Metallica fan!

:)

Sam Looks Like Mom!

When he sleeps...

Can you see it?

Ha!

:)

Belly Shirts

Sam's first and last time wearing this outfit.

Maybe I can start a new fashion trend?

Think Sam can pull it off?!

OK, I guess belly shirts will never be "in" ever again.

Still, I am so proud of my good eater!

(he has graduated from newborn to 1-3 month old clothing)
