silly husband

so this story may be a little more personal than you care to be with us, and if you are a little prissy, this post is not for you. skip it.

but this story was just too good. i'm in the middle of switching birth control pills right now, so my NP suggested we use condoms for the next couple weeks. shawn and i are not condom people, we don't even have any. see, lots of information. but shawn's eyeballs pop out of his head at the mere thought of having another wee one anytime soon, and then will proceed to vomit if he thinks of an "accident".

hence, we go to a CVS pharmacy to pick up my new perscription and some condoms. to begin with, we don't even know where they are in a store...health and beauty? pain meds? toys? i don't know. so we find them and shawn literally stands there like a deer in headlights. SO MANY OPTIONS. and i'm like "dang. they're expensive." and he says "well, for most people, which includes us now, you are up a creek without them."

twenty minutes later, folks, he's still standing there. i have now circled the store twice with sam-boy freaking out in the cart, jack is destroying every display they have with a four-square ball that he does not own.

k: "dude, just pick a box."
s: "oh, you want me to pick?"
um, yes.
s: "i don't know which ones to get!"
k: (seeing a box with the size X-LARGE on it) "well, what size do you need? large, x-large?"
s: (rolling his eyes) "babe. they are all the same size. you don't see a box with SMALL on it."

touche, well-said. who's the guy that's gonna walk in and slap a box of SMALL size condoms on the counter?

to all of shawn's friends, you know who you are...please comment kindly, my mom reads this blog...

yes, i'm talking to you nate, morgan, kyle, jordon, and any others who might wander in.

mr. cubby

if there is a cubby to be found, he'll find it. remember when you were little and finding the perfect little space that fit you only was the greatest thing ever?

little gem

these kinds of things are what i love about being a mom. jack said to me today "mom, i wrote you a note, see? C O I...note!" mostly, i love that C O I spells note, because that's what it is, a note. also, he really did draw a C and an O and an I, we've been working on our letters. he's 3, people. genius.

home

after shawn's 3rd session, we went to utah for a grand two week break. it was so great. it truly is home. we loved the mountains, jack asked to go up the canyon every day...he's just like his dad. shawn would live up there if i let him. we loved the grass. we loved sitting out on grandma and grandpa gibbs' deck, chatting away the summer nights. we loved playing with cousins, aunts and uncles, grandmas and grandpas. jack is a different kid there. he loves it. we can't wait to move back in oct.

thanksgiving point animal farm, love it there.



and this little guy turned 1 while we were there. he had the greatest birthday party ever. we went up the canyon, had a great dinner, birthday cake and ice cream, opened presents, and played and played and played. it was awesome.



we went out to cedar hills for some fun festivities, love the area. the boys got to sit in a real army hummer. it was huge.



everything

one of those crazy random posts in a desperate attempt to update. brace yourselves.

bathtime is a favorite around here.
i swear he's gonna be my musical prodigy. he loves the piano, guitar, and dances like crazy whenever there's music on.

what?

lake powell

our awesome friends, jen and aaron paxman, were kind and generous enough to invite us to lake powell to stay on their incredible houseboat for a week. done, right? jen and i drove out there with the kids and shawn and aaron joined us a couple days later. well, i have a kid who is super-human who apparently has no need to sleep. ever. for 5 days straight. so we ended up coming home early with the daddies. but the awake part was super fun, something that we'll probably never have the chance to do again. so here's a HUGE thanks to the paxmans and gilberts for their amazing generosity.
why would i do such a silly thing as taking pictures of our fun adventures? instead, herde are pics of us packing to come home.
decided to bring him with us.
