  • I’m watching Karsen and Hogan again, and Karsen is sick again, poor baby. She has this pathetic cough, but she’s still so smiley… that is until it’s the middle of the night and she starts wailing. This morning she woke me up at 2:30, coughing and crying. I picked her up, gave her some medicine, and then tried to put her back in her crib, but she just kept crying, and wanted her back patted. So I took her into my room (I’m staying in their parent’s room) and she was soothed by me constantly rubbing her back. Eventually she fell asleep and started moving around like she was possessed, so I tried to put miss kicks-a-lot back in her crib at 3:30, but she would have none of that. So I just gave up and let her sleep next to me on the king bed, scooting her over through out the early morning so she would stop jabbing me. I hope she feels better soon, though 100% is unlikely since she is teething everywhere. Oh well, at least Hogan is good for some laughs:

    I’m watching Karsen and Hogan again, and
    Isn’t he cute wheeling around this mini cart? That’s not the funny thing. The funny thing is what he told my mom and I at lunch:

    “My dad’s had a wedgie since he met my mom.”

    Oh. My. God. My mom and I were almost crying we were laughing so hard, like, what the heck right? Turns out Wedgie is his cat. LOL Ah kids, you just gotta love em.

  • It was a sunny Saturday today and Bj surprised me by taking me to the tulip fields in nearby Woodburn.

    It was windy but really really pretty. All those colors! I can’t wait until I have my own yard, I am going to plant it full of tulips in the fall, I mean what a great reward in the spring. And check this out:

    I don’t know how they were doing this will all the hella wind. It was also like a whose who of cameras, we saw some sick macro lenses, and huge digital backs, crazyness. Bj totally got me – a great surprise!

  • Thursday night I went to the NCAA Gymnastics Championships. It was held at Oregon State this year, and our team made it to the championships so the retired crew girlies thought we should make an appearance and cheer for Beaver pride.

    Sciarrino was there too, but I think because I see Sciarrino so often that I forget to take pictures of her, which isn’t good, sorry Sciarrin! There was lots of flipping and twisting, and insane body manipulation going on.

    Can you see the girl flipping in the background. Crazy. Unfortunately the Beavers didn’t advance to the next round, but we are very proud of them for making it to the NCAA, something we couldn’t accomplish in crew during our four years.

    Yesterday was pretty slow, Ribbon Jar wise, so I spent the afternoon being crafty (results to follow at a later date), which was very fun. Bj came over after work and we went to babysit hang out with my little friend Anna, whom I’ve watch over the years. We all went to see Ice Age: The Meltdown. There was this one part where these little animals were all copying what this bigger animal was doing. Well it was so funny, I laughed until I cried. Loved it. Then we hung out there until her mom got home, Bj is a baby-sitting newbie, and he fell asleep, but it was adorable, so I didn’t wake him. Today Bj and I are headed out and about, and I’m dragging some Peaches and Cream cotton with me…. washcloths baby!!!
