Oh the things that entertain!

Keller can move! It's awesome and scary at the same time. I know a lot of you who read this are in the same boat. While he doesn't crawl like you might think a crawl should happen, he does manage to move his little body around and get to places he wants to go. He's also extremely eager to get to walking...standing at every opportunity possible. But back to this story. We had let Keller play on the kitchen floor and this is what he was able to find to entertain himself.

Yes, those are my left over grocery bags :)

Who knew paper tasted so good...he'll put this in mouth..but not the food we give him! haha..oh the conundrums in life!

If I can get it to post, I have a video with him and those shiny pizza foils... :)

Rolls and Rolls and Rolls...

Just a picture that don't really need any explanation...Keller has rolls..and LOTS OF THEM! :) Enjoy!

Memorial Weekend Part IV

Yes...part IV...meaning Monday. Sunday night, after getting off the lakes, back to the in-laws...showered, packed, fed, and diaper changed...we were ready to head back home to Eau Claire. If felt nice to sleep in our bed, and although Broghan wasn't home yet, I wasn't alone..haha NO! not that, Keller slept with me :)...but we didn't sleep long...well, I didn't sleep long. We didn't get home until sometime around 1AM, I fell asleep around 2AM and we were both up and once again in the car by 8AM. On our way to my parents to hang out for the day. While home, I was pleasantly surprised by getting to see my long-time friend Tessa! It was also a day full of lounging and napping too so don't be surprised to see those pictures too :).

Memorial Weekend Part III

Just so we don't skip anything, we had a fabulous time going to see Sex and the City 2 on Saturday night. Me, Janet, Jill and Kim. First time I left Keller with a babysitter for four hours :) It went great! and we had a great time! It certainly boosted my confidence and comfort level with leaving him with someone who isn't related. AND I got to enjoy a portion of a way-too-large frozen mango margarita!

Moving onto Sunday...and MORE pictures. Jill, Kim and Kim's two little ones headed our way Sunday and we got to borrow a boat to cruise the chain of lakes. Sun, warmth, great people and being on the lakes was AWESOME! I finally got some color to my pale skin and Keller got to see what it felt like to swim. Here are the pictures from that adventure. BTW: The little girl is Katie (4 yrs old) and the little boy is Taylor (6 yrs old).

Memorial Weekend Part II

Alright, so here we are...PICTURES! Friday, we were able to spend some time in the sun and show off Keller's rockin' new suit! (his first suit besides his birthday one to be accurate) So enjoy...there isn't much to comment on as these are just fun to look at!

Memorial Weekend Part I

So as per tradition, Broghan and about 14 other men packed up their vehicles, trailered up their boats and headed North to Canada for a 5-day fishing trip. In the past, this was a fun weekend to go out and reconnect with old friends. Thinking back, I can't believe how different this Memorial was! Now married and with Keller I was somewhat dreading a five day spread of not getting to even call Broghan and being on my own to take care of the house, the dog AND the kid!

Broghan's mom, being left alone as well (only with the house and two dogs...no kids), and then two other "widowed" wives invited me over to Eastern Wisconsin for most of the weekend. Broghan and his brother Cullan and his friend John headed out of town late Wednesday night and I decided not to wait until Friday to go. So Thursday was spent cleaning like a crazy woman, then picked up the boys I nanny from school, then hit the road. We got in late so it was straight to bed for us.

Early (8AM) Friday, we decided to take all three dogs for a nice walk over the neighbor's house so we could stop in and say hi and see when they were heading out for the weekend. Well...as it turns out, Marvin (our dog) and Doc (their lab) decided to take a VERY LONG walk all by themselves. Within minutes of us walking into the neighbors, those two were gone...and I mean GONE. We immediately began searching, taking turns driving around to other neighbors houses..yelling..screaming...whistling. Ugh, they just were not responding. We waited for over 10 hours, called the radio stations, the humane society and the animal shelter...no luck.

Finally, we kind of gave it up to God and said, if they come back, they come back because obviously our efforts weren't doing much. We traveled to Appleton to catch the end of dinner with our other "widows" Jill and Kim and to watch Sex and the City 1. As we drove back we just kept saying, "please be home" "PLEASE BE HOME!" and guess what...when we drove up their long driveway...THEY WERE HOME!! OMG! I'd never been so relieved (ok I probably have but this was darn close). Our dogs came back and they certainly seemed glad to be back with us. They didn't even cry to be let out the next morning!

So while the first day of the vacation didn't start so hot, things were looking up! :)

Just don't feel like it

Sorry folks, I know its been a few weeks and I really do have stuff to blog about...I just haven't had the "bloggin' bug". One day..haha, I do have new pics of the Kel-man to post so that will have to get done soon. Thanks for being patient!
