A death in the family

Sad news this morning folks. One of our beloved members of our small family died today at about 12 Noon. Poor Reginald the fish left us after only one day in the family. You may be gone, but not forgotten.

Blake on his birthday

Here is a picture of Blake on his 1st birthday (with his uncle Scott), and Blake on his 2nd birthday. I can't believe how much he has changed!

We are having cake and a small get together with immediate family tomorrow, so I will get pictures of that!

Our newest family additions...

Hello there! Blake is obsessed with fish, so for his birthday (Today! Holy cow he's 2!) we went to Petco and each chose a fish. We couldn't exactly figure out which fish, that Blake wanted, so Matt and I each chose one. He chose the orange bug eye fish, to be named Reginald (??) and I chose the speckly one that I named Pollack (but really I will call her polly... do I know it's a girl? no... too bad, his/her name is Pollack after Jackson Pollack because that is what he/she looks like, a Jackson Pollack painting!)Anywho, there you go!

Hopefully Blake doesn't think you can pet fish!

Obsessive-Compulsive at its finest!

I went out to lunch today with my friend, Starr. We went to Paradise Bakery in SLC. On the way there, I stopped at Wendy's to get chicken nuggets for Blake, so that he wouldn't need anything at the restaurant. After his meal, I gave him some fruit snacks. He decided he needed to line them up by color in a straight line. That is my little OCD baby! Just thought you all would like to know what kind of kid he is! What a kook!

oh dear!

This afternoon when we returned home from grocery shopping (and seeing fish at Petco--exotic, right?) I had a hard time getting into my driveway because all of the snow had turned to ice. I kind of screamed a bit on the way into the driveway, and then stopped to park. Blake just looked at me and said, "oh dear, oh dear". Too bad it sounded like, "oh damn, oh damn" (pardon the language, but you needed to know what it sounded like! :) ) I promise I am not teaching Blake to swear!!! I have to admit, though, I laughed really really hard.

new blog! new slideshow!

Okay, it is now 11:53 pm. I really really need to go to bed. I got obsessed with this blog tonight, and Matt is in the other room snoring. Just thought I would let you know when I get the most work done! hahahahaha!

On a side note, I finally got a slideshow on here. I have been trying for a while to figure it out. Gold Star to me!

PS: I am going to bed now.

PPS: Does anyone know how to change the background to a design? Not just a color?

PPPS: Blake is talking in his sleep... I can hear him.

PPPPS: Okay, now, I'm gonna go to bed.

PPPPPS: Wait.... now.
