And We're Back!

Let's see, let's see.  Where to begin?  Do I really have that much to say?  First off, why in the world am I up this early?  I've been awake since just after 5 am and out of bed just before 6 am.  May seem odd to you but my little bug sleeps until about 9 am every morning, sometimes later.  So, yeah, I'm not usually out of bed this early!  I really need to update my page layout but I don't know if I'm that adventurous this morning.  It's already 7:45 so I got other things to get going!

I'm still taking cake classes.  We had a two week break, which I've enjoyed.  Tuesdays are hectic after being gone all day Monday spending time at Gramma's.  It's also a little expensive when it comes to supplies.  For each course you need new items and we are starting fondant this next course (3) which means lots of new tools.

The Miranda Lambert concert was awesome and Dierks Bentley was a great performer.  I'm not sure if I enjoyed him more or Miranda.  Lee Brice was good too.  It was like a "3 for 1" deal since they all have hit songs.  That was our splurge for the month.  Heck, maybe for the next few months!  Here we are waiting in line.


My little toot LOVES to be outside.  When we go to Gramma's I can hardly get any cleaning done because he is constantly going out the doggy door to be outside, regardless of the temperature.  If it's too bad I'll shut the door but otherwise I just check on him (about every 5 seconds!!!).  He's gonna be such a great little helper this summer!  This first picture is us walking around on the farm at home and him pointing to a big truck that went by.

Here he is at his favorite place at Gramma's, out back waiting for the ducks and geese to come be fed.  He does a little planting in between feedings. :)



He'd stay out there ALL day!  There were a couple of geese last summer that would eat out of our hands.  We're hoping they come back this year!



He has finally cut all of his incisors (thank GOD!).  They made him a clingy, whiny little boy.  We had a zoo trip with a friend and her little man and did pretty good.  I think he is allergic to his sunscreen though!  I thought he was just tired and rubbed it in his eyes which made his eyes water and his nose run.  Then this last weekend we went to the St. Patrick's Day parade in Blanchard (where we go to the library) and he did the same thing (without rubbing his eyes).  We thought maybe just general allergies but then realized with being outside all morning he didn't have any trouble.  So, I'll have to do a little research on what we should use instead!  Here's my patient little man (just for this picture!) waiting on the parade to start.  He did great not running towards the street until he saw the horses and ponies!  I had to chase him down!



As stated in a previous blog, my little guy is addicted to Toy Story (TS) and the characters.  His Gramma got him a plush Woody doll and TS blanket as part of his Valentine's Day gift.  Then, she got him some curtains for his room so we have changed him from his little baby decor to TS.  (sniff, sniff!).  I'll have to take some pictures.  He loves his almost 3 ft. tall Buzz Lightyear above his crib.  I have one wall I need to finish but it won't be TS.  It will have some printables on it that I saw on Pinterest of a song I usually sing to him at night.

The day of the concert I spent that morning getting my leg burnt off.  Well, it was only about 10 minutes and it was my first laser tattoo removal session.  It was a gift to get me started.  The damn thing only cost me about $40 to get and the FIRST session was $200.  Five times the original price and 5 times the original pain!!  We aren't sure how many sessions it will take (hoping not many and $200 a pop) but this first session has done well.  After a week and a half part of it is already gone.  They say it can take up to 6 months to see the final results.  I'm already pleased!  You aren't supposed to shave the treated area until it's healed (6-8 weeks) so in one picture you might see some hair!  I did accidentally shave over it the other night and it was fine.  I think that's if it scabbed and blistered, which mine didn't.  I was actually worried in the beginning that it didn't take well because it did so good.  I'm excited to have that thing gone!  Rusty is too because he wants me to wear shorts and skirts and I don't much because of it.  I try to educate people about getting tattoos now!  Plus, I always said I couldn't get another one until this one was taken care of and I want one for Ryne!  I have gotten one, my eyeliner but that was a gift too so it doesn't count! Here's a before and then 1 week after picture.  (Yes I need a tan, just look at those pores!!)


Well, I think that's it.  I don't lead an exciting life by any means but having my Ryne is enough excitement for me!

*Update: so I worked on a new layout but I need to do better on the banner.  Maybe later!
