What a Wonderful Christmas!!!

This Christmas was by far the best Christmas ever!!! Kaysen was finally old enough to understand what was going on and had a blast opening up all of his presents. I felt like a little kid on Christmas Eve because I was so excited to wake up Christmas morning and see the big smile on Kaysen's face when he saw what Santa had left for him. We had a good day just spending time with family and watching all the kids play with all of thier new toys. If anything...this Christmas just made me more excited for many more of them to come!

Good Job Jer!

Jerry just got a promotion at APS!!! We have been hoping and praying that this would happen...afterall that is why we are building a house in Joe City. Jerry did training for this job for the past year but wasn't guaranteed a new position. He had to apply for the job, pass the interview and then pass 4 differant tests before they offered him the new job. I'm really proud of him because he has taken classes for the past 2 semesters and he has been studying really hard, late at night after work and early in the morning before work so that he could get this job. Because of this job I can continue staying at home with my boys which is the greatest blessing. So thanks Jer for working so hard for us and GOOD JOB!!!!

Christmas Decorations

This year I am trying to be more festive. I really want to put a lot of decorations up in my house...the problem is that I don't have very many and I am too cheap to buy a ton and not crafty enough to think of ones to make. So I have put up the only ones that I have and hope that it will work for now. I was brave enough to put up my Nativity Scene because it says that it is one for kids...yeah well Kaysen has already broken Joseph's staff, and an ear on the donkey and the cow. Oh well, he is learning who they are as he breaks them! I really want to put up Christmas lights...well have Jerry put up Christmas lights but that seems to be a problem since he is never home when there is light outside. This yearI decided to go ahead and put my Christmas tree up by myself this year. Jerry is always working and gets home too late at night so he never feels like doing it. So I pulled the box of decorations out of the shed and went to work. At first Kaysen was so excited to help me. That is until the christmas tree box was empty. He was way too interested in the box. So as I decorated Kaysen tore apart the box...but hey he had fun and I was able to get my tree up without any accidents. It isn't anything special but it works. Now that the box is put up Kaysen won't leave the tree alone.

My BOY!!

While I was unloading the dishes yesterday Kaysen decided to come over and help me. I turned around and put some pans in the cupboard and when I turned back around Kaysen had my pump put together and placed it on his belly button! Okay...I promise that I only do this when he is sleeping. He has caught me doing it once and I stopped because I know that he is such a copy cat...and what do you know??? He copied me on this too! Yes, it is kinda embarrassing but funny so I decided to let you all know about it. I know that I will look back and laugh about it.


Also, yesterday I was in my office working when I realized that it was much too quiet in the house. I searched for Kaysen and finally found him on my bed, with his blanket wrapped around him, my straightener beside him and my book in his lap. When he saw me he says, "Ugh...Mommy. I Mommy." I promise that he is a little boy...and loves to play in the dirt and loves trucks but every now and then he likes to copy me. I guess that I better watch what I am doing around him.

Thanksgiving

This is a little bobble head turkey that I made at Kendyl's house. Too cute!
We found these dorky glasses and tried to get a picture of Gage with them on, however he did not like them at all and squirmed until we took them off.

Kaysen had the funnest time rolling leftover dough. We gave him cookie cutters and a mini roller and he went to town. 30 seconds into it he was covered in flour but having a blast. He just loves to cook and be a big helper.


We spent this Thankgiving with Jerry's family in Joseph City. We ate way too much good food then let our bellies rest for bit then played some volleyball at the church. It was so much fun but it made me realize how out of shape I am. Just about everyone in his family is really good at volleyball so it was competitive and fast...I just about died. But it felt so good to play again!

House update

After we finally got the foundation poured to our new little house we placed our hand prints on the front porch. Gage won't hold his hand open long enough for a hand print so we did his cute little foot. I know its hard to tell which hand is Jerry's and mine...that's why our initials are under them...I have giant hands...don't laugh!
Here Kaysen is trying to be such a big helper for Daddy. He has his little toy hammer is is pounding away on some screws. They don't budge but hey, it's keeping him busy!

The walls and trusses are finally up! Actually even the sheeting is on the roof now too. Jerry is painting today and shingling tomorrow!! All I can say is, this house may be pretty small but Jerry is doing such a good job. I am so thankful that I have a husband that can build our home and a family that helps us do it...this definitely saves us money...and it makes our home something to be proud of! Good job Babe!

Gage Update

I have finally been able to record Gage's cute laugh so here it is!I just love it! Gage is now 3 months old and is getting bigger everyday! I bet that he weighs close to 18lbs now...the kid hasn't slowed down eating at all! The carseat is getting so hard to carry with him in it but it is easier than holding him without it and chasing Kaysen. Last night Gage rolled over from his belly to his back for the first time! I don't know how he could do it though since he is so chubby! He has only done it one more time since then but hey...3 months is pretty fast to be doing that right??? It was probably just a fluke but oh well....it's still exciting! Gage is also teething right now! Can I just say that this is exciting news but is so sad. He was up all night and most of the day today...crying. Then it dawned on me..."Hey he might be teething" so I check his little gums and sure enought the bottom left one is bright red, swollen and cut. Poor little boy. Too bad he has many more of these to go!

Quirky Tag

Here is a list of a few of my quirks...they are hard to come up with because like Krystin says...I think they are normal. So I too asked for Jerry's help with this.

1. I am like Krystin on this one too...when I eat chicken I have to pick all of the fat, ligaments, veins etc. out of it before I can eat it. This drives Jerry crazy...he tells me to just eat it!! It takes me longer to eat one piece of chicken then to eat the rest of my meal.
2. I can't stand to have just my hands wet. If I am washing dishes I have to dry off my hands before I touch anything. When I help Kaysen wash his hands after I've washed mine I have to dry mine off and then help him then dry them again.
3. I have to have the toilet paper rolling over the top of the roll. Whenever I see it the other way I change it. Jerry has gotten used to this one.
4. Whenever I have cash I have to have all of the bills face up, in the same direction with largest denominations on bottom and smallest on top. This is how I had to have my money when I worked at the bank so now I have to keep my money like this.
5. I salt my fruit like watermelon, cantelope and apples. Jerry thinks this is disgusting and that I am ruining my fruit...no way! It makes it so much better, not as healthy though.
6. I hate being alone at night when Jerry is working. If I am coming home alone, I go in every room in my house and check behind doors with my cell phone in my hand on the #9. (speed dial for my mom, we have a system set up to where if she sees my # on her phone and I hang up or don't answer then she'll call 911...yes I know I'm paranoid but oh well I can't change it.) Then I sleep with my cell phone under my pillow. I hate being alone!

Now I tag Kendyl, Kylie & Ashley

Blessed

On Sunday Gage recieved his baby blessing. As soon as Jerry spoke the first word I felt the spirit and knew Gage was meant to be with us. I already know this but for some reason I felt is so profoundly at that moment. He has already blessed our lives in the 2 months he has been with us. Most of our family was able to make it and we appreciate all those who came, it meant a lot to us. After the blessing we had a family dinner of Navajo Tacos at my moms house. (Thanks mom for letting 40+ people invade your house!) Also, I just want to tell Jerry that I am so grateful for all he has done for our family. Growing up I always wanted a husband who could administer blessings for our children and now I do. It is something I will never take for granted. I love having the priesthood in our home, it has brought blessing I never imagined could happen. So thank you so much babe, you are the greatest!!!

How Firm a Foundation????

Yesterday we finally got the foundation to our soon to be new home poured. Well, at least part of it. We will finish the garage on Saturday, hopefully...then the walls can start coming up! Jerry, his Dad and all of his brothers worked so hard to try and get it done. We appreciate ALL of their help. We couldn't have done it without them. Here is a picture of them all working so hard...it looks like that hose was a bit heavy huh?? I think it just about took each of them down more than once!! Then there is Jerry with his sexy rubber boots on smoothing out the concrete. He did this for about 4 hours straight...bending over then pushing and pulling the pole about a million times! Let's just say that it was a little hard for him to get out of bed today!

Just Reminders...

I am using this blog for journal so I wanted to write a list of all the little stuff Kaysen does that I love. I know one day I will forget that he once did all of this so this entry is for me, Jerry and Kaysen...and for anyone who is interested.

1. When he is ready for bed he says, "I want nigh nigh" then is ready for his jammies and a nighttime "biper" (diaper). He then kneels in front of the couch and pats the floor tell Jerry and me to kneel beside him for prayer. When this is over he promptly gets "Gagers bankie." (I used it for Gage once so now it is Gagers blankie, not Kaysens even though Kaysen uses it daily) He then lets me know he wants his "pellow" and lays down on the couch. He has to have a sippie full of milk and either Jerry or me sitting at his feet on the couch. While he is drinking the milk we have to have one hand on his belly so that one of his hands can play with our fingers. When he his done with the milk he will put it on the floor then roll over onto his belly and says, "I bup, I bup" so that we can burp him. (he started this after Gage was born) Within a few minutes he is usually out, but not before a few moments of talking about his day to himself.

2. When he says a prayer he says, "uh Mommy, uh Daddy, uh Gagers" over and over no matter what he tell him to say. When the prayer is finished he says, "ALL DONE!!" instead of amen.

3. When he wakes in the middle of the night he comes to my side of the bed and wakes me up then crawls in between Jerry and me. Every now and then we let him stay there if it is early morning. Otherwise we take him back to his room. When we do this he is crying for whichever one of us didn't put him there. Since Gage was born Jerry is usually the one to take him back to his room. Kaysen then says, "Daddy set." (sit) He is such a wild sleeper so his mattress is on the floor and so we will lay next to him until he is asleep. However 9 out of 10 times Jerry falls asleep next to him so when I get up with Gage I have to wake Jerry up so he'll come back to our bed.

4. He loves to "Pop It." This is a ridiculously loud popping noise that he makes with his tongue. My Dad always popped at Kaysen like this when he was just a baby. By the time Kaysen was about 10 months old he had the "popping" mastered. Before he could talk he would "POP" when he wanted to go see Papa.

5. He has to "bep it." (dip it) No matter what he eats he has to "bep it" in something. I just love the way he says it.

6. When I pull up to any fast food restaurant he immediately says, "Mama, I wan toke." (Mama, I want coke) Seriously, I don't eat fast food THAT much! He hast to put the straw in the cup or he throws an absolute fit and he has to hold the cup if he wants a drink. Picky little man huh???

7. He loves to smash bugs. To keep him busy when I am doing a craft in the garage I put him on "BUG PATROL" and he will go around trying to find bugs and smashing them. He won't just smash them once though...he'll do it to the same one until he finds another one or gets distracted.

8. When I need him to quit doing something I ask him to come help me and he runs to wherever I am and says, "hep me, hep me." He loves to help anyone do anything. He always has to help me unload the dryer, fold clothes, cook food, take out the trash and change Gage's diaper. I encourage this though...I love my little helper!!!

9. Now that I have two kids to get loaded up in the truck I had to come up with something to keep Kaysen from running out in the road. I give him my diaper bag and ask him to carry it for me while I get Gage in the truck...it works great! The bag is too heavy for him to move very fast with. The whole time he is carrying it he says, "Momma, I strong!" Yes, Kaysen you are my strong boy!!!

10. When Jerry gets home from work he opens the garage door and Kaysen can hear it...no matter when he is doing. He drops everything and runs to the garage and says, "I wanna ride." He loves to crawl up on Jerry's lap and drive the car with him. Whenever it is time to come inside he is ticked so Jerry distracts him by asking him to carry his lunch box...which is very heavy. Kaysen then walks in the door yelling once again, "Momma, I strong!"

11. Whenever I am on the floor Kaysen pushes me over so that I am on all fours and says, "Heeehee! Heeehee!" ( sound of a horse) He loves to climb on my back as I crawl around the living room trying to buck him off...yes to an outside I would look like a fool but this gets Kaysen laughing so hard. And hearing his laugh is totally worth the humiliation of someone seeing me.

12. When we go shopping he says, "I pooosh. I pooosh." (I just love the way that he says it! ) He doesn't want to ride in the cart so he offers to help us push it. He stands behind the basket, in front of us and pushes the basket. This usually only last as long as he can see through the basket though...which isn't very long. We fill it up too fast!

13. He loves Mickey Mouse! However, he calls him "Toodles" (because of the tool that brings them the Mouse-ka-tools on the cartoon) When he draws a picture he always asks us to draw "Toodles" for him. Then he will point out his ears, eyes, nose and teeth and will color each one. He is so smart!!

14. He acts out everything he is trying to say if he doesn't know the word. Example: When my Dad fills up the stove with pellets Kaysen does this: "Papa" (then he bends over sideways and acts like he is holding something in his hand and pours) then says, "fire, hot, owies." I swear he is going to be an actor or a mime...

15. When he sees words or letters he points to them and says, "eee, owww, oooh, eee, aaaa." He really thinks he is saying the word and laughs afterwards.

16. He loves any kind of tool and says that every tool is "like Daddy's." He just wants everything to be like Daddy. If Daddy is working with tools he has to have the same tool in his hand (don't worry most of them are play tools.) If Daddy is diggin the the dirt, he has his little shovel and is digging right beside Daddy. I love that he wants to be just like Jerry. If he keeps it up he will be an amazing man when he grows up!!!

Precious Moments


I love to just sit next to my boys and watch them sleep. Even if it just took me an hour to get Kaysen to calm down long enough to take nap. This time is my time...a time during the day when I can sit back and reflect on all that I am grateful for and when I realize just how precious time is. It seems like just yesterday I was taking a picture of Kaysen sleeping when he was 2 months old...now he is my big boy. At times it makes me so sad to think of how fast time goes by but I just have to remind myself to enjoy these precious moments and look forward to the many others that will come.

Caught in the Act....

"Mommy! Mommy, I want a Loll Up!" I hear this 10 times over the noise of my blow dryer and reply to my impatient 2 year old that I will get him a ROLL UP when I am done with my hair. I think that this answer satisfies him as he runs off. After a few minutes I realize it is much to quiet in the house so I go inspect why. (I always know there is trouble brewing when it is quiet.) I discreetly walk in to my living room then around the corner into my kitchen and guess what I see??? My impatient two year old boy quietly and carefully getting into the box of Fruit Roll Ups. Except, he's not just getting into the box...he standing on my kitchen counter!!! (He pulled a chair over so that he could reach) The camera is right next to me on the othe side of the counter so I quietly take a picture. He hears the camera and turns around with the biggest victory smile on his face!!!

WORKAHOLIC

This word describes my husband! I love him to death for being a hard worker but seriously...sometimes he needs to just take it slow. (I am just going to vent a little...I can do that every now & then right???) Right now he is waking up at 4:30am to go to work and gets home at 8:00pm....or vice versa when he is working nights (which I absolutely hate being alone at night)....so this makes for a long day for him {and ME} and Kaysen...he loves to be with his Dad. Then he is going to school and building a house. So every day that he has off...he isn't really off. He is in Joseph City no matter what basically...but I know that he is doing it all for his family. I just can't wait for the day when this is done and I can get my husband back. I just have to tell myself..."This too, shall pass."

Off to an Early Start

I grogilly get out of bed at 4:03 am to the sound of Gage trying to breathe through his nose. (The poor boy has the stuffiest nose right now and is trying to learn how to breathe with it.) I lean over his crib and pick him up and he instantly settles down and cuddles next to me. He doesn't know what's coming though...I lay him on my bed and get "the booger sucker." Obviously he does NOT like this at all...but I just tell him it will make him feel better...yeah like he understands that! When I'm done with this task I hold him next to me and once again, he instantly relaxes. I walk into the living room and just hold my baby taking in that sweet baby lotion scent and thinking dang...it is way to early to be up! However I delight in the moment that I get to be alone with my sweet baby and realize...Waking up at 4 in the morning has been worth it!

So much to be gratetful for....

Seeing as how this is the season to be thankful I decided to write some of the things that I am grateful for...of course there are many more but here's just a short list of things to remind me that I truly have so much to be grateful for. As I think about more each day, I might add more. There are just too many things...

12. Health - I have always been a pretty healthy person...besides my 6 sugeries. {accident prone} Now that I have children I realize what a blessing it is to wake up most days feeling good...besides being sleep deprived. It is so much harder to take care of them and play with them on days when I'm not feeling my best. Also, I am so grateful that my boys are healthy!

11. My Sister & My mom- They are my best friends. They know the real me and love me anyways. They support me...even if they don't agree with what I am doing. I'd have to say that we are all too much a like and that is why we have the disagreements that we have...but I don't mind being like them.

10.Clothes - I hate being cold and I love to be warm! And let's face it...there are many people out there you don't want to see naked!

9.Laughter & Smiles - The laughter of my children is the greatest sound...nothing can make me smile or change my attitude faster. Luckily I have a husband that makes me laugh & smile on a daily basis!!

8.Running water - It is the greatest thing to be able to take hot showers and have indoor plumbing.

7.Electricity - To be able to see in the dark, get my hair ready, cook, clean and use the computer is amazing to me. Of course electricy also pays the bills...without it I wonder what my husband would do for work???

6.FREEDOM - Currently so many people are focusing on all the negative stuff that is happening and I just want to remind myself that we live in the greatest country there is.

5.Vehicles - I love that I can hop in one of our cars and go anywhere in no time. I love walking and it truly would be better for me to do more of it but cars sure are more convenient.

4.Food - Need I say more????

3.My house - It may not be huge or brand new, but it is my HOME. I have so many wonderful memories inside this house. From moving in and it just being Jerry and I to remodeling and working hard together and of course bringing home both of my children. My house provides a shelter for my family...something many people would be so lucky to have.

2.The Gospel - Without this I know that I wouldn't be as happy as I am today or as blessed. I know that the Atonement is real and because of this I am able to recieve many blessings. I am able to focus on the future more than the present...which really helps out on hard days. I know that no matter how hard today is Heavenly Father is willing and able to help. I know that I will be with my family FOREVER if I live for it!

1. My FAMILY- They love me, support me and are the greatest. I love being a mother and wife...it is the greatest and most rewarding job in the world. They are the only thing that I can have after this life is over and they are really all that I want!

We Love Bathtime!!!


Gage finally lost his umbilcal cord after keeping it on for 8 weeks so him and Kaysen have finally gotten to take a real bath together. Kaysen loves having someone in there to play with. He always tries to dump the cup full of water on Gage so I gotta keep a close eye on him. Gage absolutely loves the water. The night he got his shots he wouldn't stop crying so I put him in a warm bath and he was instantly smiling. So of course I had to take this picture of him. Isn't he the cutest??

My Chunky Monkey


Gage had to go to the Doctor for his 2 month check up and shots. Poor boy...he did so good though! He already weighs 15lbs 1oz. He is in the 96% for weight for his age. He is 23 3/4" long and is in the 78% there for height. He is getting so big already!

Halloween Fun



Kaysen was our little bat for Halloween. At first he was a little scared of the eyes that were on the hood but eventually got over that and loved his costume. We kept trying to get him to flap his wings so that we could take a picture but he didn't really want to cooperate. Gage was a dalmation. Grandma Duncan bought it for him thinking it was a cow but figured out later that she was wrong. It is still such a cute costume. It is a good thing that he wasn't a couple weeks older...he wouldn't have fit in it. He is a little too young to care at all about all of this stuff but it is so fun to dress him up.
We took both of them to Aunt Lacye's & Uncle Jerry's house, then Uncle Chad & Aunt Rebecca's then on to Grandma & Grandpa Duncan's. After this we headed back home and Kaysen had the funnest time handing out candy to all of the Trick-or-Treaters. Everytime the doorbell rang he ran to the door yelling, "Candy, Candy" then would just stare at each person. It was a fun night.

Pumpkins!!

We took the family to Sandi's Pumpkin Patch and let Kaysen pick his pumpkin and one for Gage. He had a blast pulling the wagon around. He didn't want to leave. We took him home and we all carved our pumpkins together. He had a so much fun scooping the inside of the pumpkin out. He got too impatient though and started grabbing it with his hands. The whole time he was grabbing it he was saying, "yucky, yucky."

Our New Bundle of Joy

On August 20 I had my first doctors appointment to find out my progression with my pregnancy. I was expecting to be barely dialated and effaced but it was a shocker when Dr. Tindal said, "4cm and 75% effaced." I still had to keep this little guy in my belly for another 3 1/2 weeks!!! Dr.Tindall told me that I could be going into labor any day but to try to take it easy for at least 1 more week. I went home and immediatley started having major contractions....Jerry was in Joseph City so I had to call him and tell him to get home ASAP. When he got home we went to the hospital and they put me on and IV. We monitored my contractions and luckily they were slowing down after a few hours. We left the hospital at 10:00pm and I was told to "stay down" and "take it easy" for a bit longer. (Yeah right...can anyone do this when you have a 2 year old running around your house??)
On August 29 I started to once again have good contractions. All through the night I tossed and turned as Jerry would say, "Are you sure you don't want to go in???" No, I didn't want to go. I wanted to wait until morning so that Kaysen could play with his cousins and not realize we were really gone so much. I didn't want to leave him in the middle of the night....I didn't want to leave him at all.
So the next morning we got up and walked around the block by Lacye's house and I was still having contractions pretty good. We called Dr.Tindall and he told me to come in. So at 10:00 am we arrived at the hospital. The nurses didn't want me to be there though because I was only 37 weeks and 6 days pregnant. (They won't break your water until 38 weeks unless you are showing progression.) So they made me walk around the hospital for an hour and then checked me....yay! I was 5 1/2 cm and almost fully effaced. So Dr.Tindall came in and broke my water at 12:40 and at 2:09 I got my epidural. This made my contractions almost stop so at 3:30 they put me on Pitocin. My contractions still weren't doing much... at least the monitors said that. But I kept telling the nurses I felt pressue. So they finally checked me at 5:00pm and the nurse said, "You're fully....there's the head!) Right then Dr.Tindall came in the room...he saw Gege's heartrate drop on the monitor and knew he was decending. Dr.Tindall quickly got dressed and ready to go. 2 pushes and 11 minutes later Gage Ryan Miller arrived! He is the cutest little boy (along with Kaysen.) We don't have a clue who he looks like yet. He weighed 7lbs 3oz and was 20" long and perfectly healthy.
Kaysen was able to come to the hospital and see him that night. He instantly fell hin love with his little brother. He wanted to lay on the bed and help me hold him...but only me. No one else was allowed to hold Gage, which I thought was wierd. I was sure he would be jealous...but nope he just loves him already and so do we!!

Just Like Daddy...

This is one of the many reasons why I love Jerry so much...he is such a good Dad. Every Sunday Kaysen watches Jerry brush his teeth so he brushes his, then he watches Jerry shave and acts like he is shaving, after this he watches Jerry put on deodorant and cologne and of course Jerry has to give him some too. Kaysen runs to me in the living room and makes me smell him. He is so excited that he smells like Daddy now! Then he runs back to the bathroom and sees Jerry putting on his tie so he goes into our closet and pulls a tie off the hanger (usually more than just one of them fall to the floor) and runs into the bathroom begging Jerry to help him put a tie on. He says, "hep me! hep me!" ( in his adorable 20 month old voice) I could hear all of this unfolding so I ran and got the camera and got this {KODAK} moment. When they are all done Kaysen is running around the house so excited to smell and look like his Daddy! And I think he has no better person to want to be like!!!

Tuckered Out

After a long day of "helping" Dad in the back yard (mostly just playing in the dirt) we finally get Kaysen to come inside to eat some lunch. Jerry and I fix turkey sandwiches so we give Kaysen a cut up tomato (his favorite), some turkey and cheese all in pieces on a plate. He eats about half of what we give him (typical) then decides to climb off the chair and go play some more. Only, he doesn't make it that far...he barely makes it off the chair befor falling asleep. I had to hurry and snap this photo. I guess that's what happens to a little boy who has been working so hard "helping" Dad!

CoPy CaT

Here I am at 32 weeks prego just waiting for Gage to arrive. I decided that it was time for a belly picture now. As you can see I did one with my shirt down and my shirt up to show my belly a little more. .

Kaysen was standing by me as Jerry took the picture and he decided that he wanted us to take a picture of his belly also...he's my little {copy cat} All he has to do is see someone do something ONE time and he will do it. That could be a bad thing so Jerry and I constantly have to make sure we don't do anything we don't want our son to do...he keeps us on the straight and narrow that's for sure!!!

Scaredy Cat

Grandma & Grandpa Miller & Uncle Jermey & Aunt Jennie have 3 little kittens....which Kaysen is absolutely SCARED to death of. He is never really around animals so when he sees one close by and they start to chase him it SCARES him a bit...okay a ton. He runs over to Jerry or me saying,"oooooh, oooooh kitty." (in a half crying voice)No matter how many times we try to tell him they are nice kittens he still gets SCARED. So this was a monumental moment when Jerry was finally able to get him to pet the kitty. Then before we knew it he was trying to give the kitten a kiss...only if Dad was holding the kitten though. However this didn't last too long. Any other time we tried to get him to pet it he wouldn't do it again unlsess his Daddy was there holding the kitten. I guess that he feels SAFE with his Dad around....which is definately a good thing. Maybe one day he'll outgrow being so AFRAID of kittens.

{Down For The Count}


What happens to a CRANKY boy who has been crying for the past 2 hours??? This...he lays down on the floor kicking and screaming and his Dad and I finally just ignore him and stop trying to calm him down. What do you know??? 2 minutes later he's down for the count and drooling all over my living room floor.
