Swim Lessons




I Think Xander is ready for SWIM LESSONS! What do you think?
Xander Loves the Babies!  He laughs and screams when he sees one!  Here he is with his buddy and neighbor.
I think they are going to be friends for a long time!
Dad thought he would take him to lunch one day!

I think he wanted to Go!

The trail he left behind........

Xander is out of the baby bath and is a Tub Boy now!
He loves to Splash!!!
And Splash!
And this is what happens when the phone rings and you set your baby down in his towel for a minute while you go and answer it!

A trail is left behind........

Loves the Duck



I was cleaning the kitchen the other day and I heard Xander screaming and Laughing and kicking his legs and I wondered what all the excitment was about.

It was all about the DUCK! I grabbed my camera as quick as I could but by the time I got there the excitment was not as high but it is still pretty cute!

This boy loves his DUCK!

When Xander is Bored with Me and wants another kid around
We bring out the mirror and Who Hoo!  Instant smiling baby friend.
An Hour of entertainment with Baby Friend!

Making Dinner

As you all know, I am not the Head Chef of the house
But it has been a Resolution for me to add more to the Cooking Department
So Last week and last night.  I have prepared dinner. Yesterday I made Taco's Last week I made Pork Chops with Tomato soup
(with instructions from the Head Chef of course)
They were placed very neatly on the fridge!
I dipped pork in Special seasoned flour..

I took picture of self...because I was alone and it was me who made it.
Just in case you thought I made it up!
Xander watched with much interest at seeing his mother do something in the kitchen that did not involve cleaning.
I took pork and lightly browned it and then placed it in a dish with tomato soup and cooked @ 275 for two hours.
I then made rice when the Pork was done and Who Hoo!
Jeremy did not have to make dinner when he came home!

Friends

I am so Blessed to have so many wonderful friends.
Last night I went out with my CU ward friends. The one in the purple is Korri and she is one of the coolest people I know.  She is very smart and very talented and has the best taste in fashion.
We went and saw, He is just not that into You.


My BEST Friend while we were at the Movie walked around with Xander at the Mall.
He did not want to go and see the movie.
(He said, "Xander and I are going to pick up chicks.")
He picked up a some nice plug in oil for me and a stuffed turtle for Xander.
He tried to get "Lightning Mc Queen for Xander but he preferred Squirt the turtle from Finding Nemo.


He met us at PF Changs afterwards for dinner.
I love that he does not mind being the only guy.
He talks and laughs and is so much fun.

I am so glad that He was so into me!

Tumbleweeds part II

Jeremy (bless his heart) took all the yucky tumbleweeds in our front yard
That gathered from the big Wind Storm in December
And put them in our Backyard.
Then he put them in this nice metal cylinder
And watched them Burn! (My hottie with fire!  Yum!)
To bad I didn't have any marshmallows

He loves his toys!
He sits for a little bit.
And Then he ROLLS
And Sits.....
And ROLLS
And ROLLS

I love his curly hair...It just takes a little hairspray and I can get it to curl on top!
PRECIOUS

First Birthday Party

Xander went to his first Birthday party a couple of Weekends ago!  He did not enjoy the hat as much as I enjoyed putting it on him.
This is the birthday boy's brother!   The birthday boy choose not to participate in the photo opportunity. (He is only 3 so who can blame him?)  Tate (the brother)  loves Xander and said to his mom "I just have a feeling Xander and I are going to be real good friends when he gets older"
