Something new... Something old...

Today has literally been a lazy day for us all here! Phil let me sleep in until 8 and then when it was 8 Drezden decided that it was time to take a nap, Phil wanted to take a nap too so I got to sleep till about 10 or so...We did, however, get a few things done today, but nothing that really needed to be done. One thing we did that we needed to do eventually was clean out the car. For some reason the car just attracts all sorts of stuff (mostly garbage like crackers and empty water bottles). It was about time we cleaned it out... Now I am not so embarrassed about parking the car next to anyone else's :). I am sure this is something Phil was not concerned about.

This morning the neighbor came over to get some shingles so her home teacher could patch a few spots on her roof. We had some just lying around that the previous owners had left so we told her a while back that she could have them if she wanted them. We have really enjoyed having the neighbors we do. Melanie is such a nice lady... She gave Drezden a little blow up pool today. I guess her neice has grown out of it so she figured we might be able to use it. She also gave us a little garden till that she said she was going to donate to the DI if we didn't want it. Also... a few weeks ago she gave us a hose she was going to throw away. It has a few kinks in it, but hey... it is a hose that we didn't have to buy! She is really fun to visit with and we hope to visit with her more.

So, something old... Yesterday we had a couple and their kids come over for dinner and then we played rock band, which was fun... So, because we had been playing it so late last night we didn't put it away and Phil decided to play it today and Drezden wanted to help him play the drums... I wanted to post a few pics of Drezden helping. I thought it was kinda cute, and it was funny because Phil really had no idea what Drezden was doing.

Here she is "helping" Phil with the foot pedal


I think she got a little bored so she tried to eat the cords while Phil was drumming


So, a few weeks ago we were at Macey's and they had these really cute benches for sale and Drezden had a lot of fun climbing on and off them... Phil decided we could get one for her and so here is a pic of her standing on it. I think it is cute. It is a Noah's Ark Bench!


Here is another one of her just sitting on it. It looks like she was blowing kisses...*sort of*


And here is one I just thought I would post just because I think Drezden is darling!

Random Slideshow

Just a random update...

Right now Phil, Drezden and I are in the living room watching the Count of Monte Cristo. I watched the film yesterday and I really enjoyed it. Phil wanted to watch it so here I am watching it again. I think it is a really good film, so those of you who haven't seen it I would recommend it.
Phil has been staying busy with work and loves what he does. Phil is a computer programmer. He works for L3 communications and is really liking the company. He has been with L3 for a few years now. He is going on his second year working full time. He does stuff with SNMP... Don't ask me what it is because I have no idea. I don't really understand what it is he does for a living, but it is nice that he loves what he does.
I am a stay at home mom. I stay with home with Drezden, she is a wonderful little girl. It is amazing how fast she is growing. She is only a year old and already she is walking and learning to use forks and spoons to eat. It is really quite amazing how quickly babies learn and grow within just a year.
I am currently expecting my second child and I am due in August. We are expecting a boy this time around. At first I really had hope for a girl, but I am getting more used to and more excited for a little boy. We have decided on a name... Sullivan Paul. I love the name Sullivan!
Well, I have written much for now... Until next time!

Drezden is 1!!! (this was written on her birthday May 4th)

So today is officially Drezden's birthday. It has been fun to watch her learn and grow. She is no longer a baby, which is a little sad but we are happy she is growing and developing and soon enough she will be a young lady. We love having her in our lives! She is definitely a blessing. We look forward to many more years with her and we know she will be a great big sister!

We love you Drezden!!!

Love, Mom and Dad

Here are some pictures of her from today!

Drezden got to try out her new swimsuit!

I guess it is time for a little update. I am not sure how many of you actually read what I post, but I will post anyway. So, nothing new is happening here in Tooele. Although, we have heard there is lots to do. I guess we will just have to get out in the community and see what is happening.

This last week Phil, Drezden and I went to a refresher course on giving birth. It was nice and I learned a few things that I didn't know before. Like birthing positions that you can do even if you decide to have an epidural. I thought it was interesting and I am really glad that I went. I think each time I go to the Tooele Hospital I feel even more comfortable with the idea that I will deliver there.

So, today Phil was outside with Drezden and he let her play with the hose. She really likes to get wet so we decided to get her in her swimsuit and let her play in the sprinkler. I think she enjoyed it, although, she enjoys climbing up the entry stairs much more. So, I am going to add a photo of her in her cute swimsuit. It is the first time for her ever using it!

I thought this one was a good one showing the water from the sprinkler.


Phil was saying this one reminded him of the little girl on the sunblock packaging.

here is the picture of the waterbabies coppertone girl


I just thought this one was cute with her finger in her mouth... like she was thinking about something.
