Six Flags

Yesterday, Andrew, Kami, Colby, and I went to Six Flags...for FREE! CBIZ was having a company picnic/party thing there, so we all got free tickets. It worked out perfectly that Kami was going to be visiting that weekend so that we could go and actually go on rides! We switched off who went on rides and who had baby duty. Can i just tell you...that place is AMAZING! We're planning on going back sometime in the next month when my parents are here for Colby's birthday, so they can just babysit and Andrew and I can REALLY enjoy the park and go on lots of RIDES. Colby sure did make it fun though, he was so good and didn't complain even though the only place it let him play was the stroller because the ground grossed me out.

karma

Andrew and i were having an interesting conversation yesterday. The whole argument started a couple days ago when andrew called a little skit, a "sketch". i proceeded to call him an idiot, and ask him (or tell him) that he meant "skit". I decided to look it up yesterday as the argument resurfaced. This is a great example of why you should proof read before you talk smack. this is how that conversation went:

Tara: "See andrew! you google sketch and you get drawings, you google skit and you get....a comedy sketch"

CRAP! Well he won that one.

Well later that night we watched "Did You Hear About The Morgans?" I was telling Andrew how I have a big nose, just like Sarah Jessica Parker. His reply, "no you don't, she doesn't have a big nose either." i responded with the smart remark "yeah huh!" I looked up pictures of Sarah Jessica Parker to prove my point. He still didn't budge. So he told me to google "girl with big nose". so i did. first thing we see... HUGE picture of Sarah Jessica Parker.

Andrew: 1 Tara: 1

Soccer

Andrew signed up for a soccer league this summer. He had his first game yesterday and they tied! (the other team scored at the last second! dang). Andrew was DYING! He hasn't had time to work out very much the last 6 months. i made him go running with me in the morning, and after 20 minutes of playing soccer his legs were pretty much noodles. but he had fun, and colby and I had fun watching him.

what a weekend

Andrew made his own dinner the other night.

Ingredients: mac and cheese, black beans, chilli powder, pepper, ketchup, and cheese. i know it's been a while since he's cooked, but what the heck? that's completely wrong! He had a spoonful ready for me to taste it. after some convincing on his part, i told him i'd try it if he made me brownies so i could counteract the disgusting taste in my mouth.

Turns out it was good! i'm a little bummed about that, i didn't get my brownies.

On another completely unrelated note: I've decided house hunting is DEFINITELY not as fun as it may appear. I thought it would be awesome to look through a bunch of homes and then pick one that i liked and make an offer. Not only do i have to sacrifice a lot of what i was hoping to get, but most the houses we find we get outbid on. I knew in some homes you get into "bidding wars" but i didn't realize it was on EVERY house. There are other homes that have been on the market for a long time, but then i start wondering...why have they been on the market a long time? what's wrong with them? turns out looking at homes is completely exhausting when you only have an hour or so during Andrew's lunch, and a baby that needs to nap. And then you deal with getting a loan. UGH. but i'm SO anxious to get out of an apartment and make our house our own :) ultimately, i know we'll end up where we're supposed to. we just have to keep our spirits up and keep looking.

This last weekend Kami came up to visit from Arizona. She spent some time here, then went to LA and then came back here with Dan and Britt, we went out to dinner, and made smores over the stove.

Kim and Jeff were also on a trip and were able to stop by on sunday for a bit to see us. it was a great weekend filled with visitors! Kim and Jeff also have a dog, Nessie. I thought for sure colby would start crying once he saw Nessie, but turns out he kinda liked her, even though he was getting knocked over. i guess the dog licks all over the face made up for that, plus Nessie brought some new food for him to try.

Best Toy Ever

Colby was having a little too much fun out of our sight this afternoon. When you don't hear anything at all, it's never a good thing.

Sherwood

Being in Sherwood this last week was amazing! i just love being back in my home town. Colby was having issues all week....issues with his bowels that is. we had many dirty diapers a day, most at VERY inopportune times. He even left a little surprise in Nana's bathtub, and no, it was not a snickers. To make things even better, Nana was on bath duty that night.
And then there was the restaurant as we were heading out of town. We heard some intense pushing coming from the backseat on the way to the restaurant, only to find that colby's little Huggies did not do their job. It took a tag team with my mom and me to clean up the explosion in the bathroom at the restaurant. Needless to say, there were casualties - the new shirt my mom got me now bears colby's mark forever. But who can stay mad at this kid? Especially when he's at the wheel.


Andrew and i were finally able to go on a date. It was a short date, we made a break for it while colby took a nap. We jumped on my dads motorcycle and headed straight to.... the movie theater. kinda pathetic right? we finally get to go on a date and we go to a theater. well we had movie ticket gift cards that we had to use. truthfully, it didn't matter what we did, it was just great to be the two of us for a couple hours. and to ride on the back of a motorcycle again!

My first Mothers Day was fun! i told Andrew that i wanted a couple shirts and molten lava cake for mothers day. We celebrated mothers day on Tuesday when we headed to the Woodburn outlet mall so i could pick out the shirts i wanted, and that night we made molten lava cake. PERFECT mothers day. It was a perfect mothers day as well - Colby got super spoiled by Nana at the outlet mall.
