weekend update

I thought I would update our weekend and the many "eventful" things we did. Eric has had some time off, looking for a new job, so we have had a lot of "weekend" days. It has been nice having Eric home and spending some good quality family time together. I know he has enjoyed being home with Taylor!

taylor's favorite things of the week, sitting up like a big girl; plastic cup; walker; and books

update: eric found a job with Scottrade and starts Mar. 24th :)

Friday we went to our friends, jenni and bentley's, with their 2 little girls Kayla & Jada. We all went to high school together and we really like hanging out with them. We had dinner, taco soup/cornbread/chips/and cupcakes for dessert, and then played the Wii. Eric seemed to be the hit of the night, keeping us all entertained while he played game after game. Bentley had lots of things to show him and Eric would play each one. Thanks guys for a fun night!!!

what a cute family

Saturday we hung around...like we've done most days for the last month...and then decided to brave Salt Lake and hit Babies R Us. We almost went to Costco, but used our better judgement. Costco is worst then Wal Mart on Saturdays. Eric always tells me we have to put on our "game faces" before we go in. We had lunch at Chili's and then went and bought Taylor a walker. She enjoys sitting up and we thought this would be fun for her. I wanted to get the $75 Rainforest Jumperoo, but eric of course wanted to get the cheapest one, $30. I came to an agreement with him after seeing Jenni & Bentley had the same one and Taylor enjoyed her time in it while we were there.

playin' and having some rice cereal...the highchair broke...a new one is on the way

Afterwards, we treated ourselves to some frozen yogurt at Yogurt Stop. A self serve yogurt shop, something hard to come by around here. We then spent the rest of the night playing with tayor, eric watched a movie, bath time and sleep.

Sunday, we lounged around in the morning, church doesn't start until 1:00. Church was good. Taylor almost made it, luckily eric got her to sleep towards the end. She hasn't fallen asleep in our arms since 2 months. She looked like a little rag doll. When we left church we were greeted by a huge storm. It was dumping hard and heavy. It was the wet, dense snow. I didn't even know this storm was coming. Thank goodness we are leaving for Vegas on Tuesday. We need some warmth. Eric was excited because it meant he could go snow blow. He really enjoys it, especially since our snow blower was broken during the last storm.

We spent the rest of our evening lounging around, playing with taylor again, and I sewed. I have been trying to get my first baby bedding set finished...and I am almost there. I have the bumper, sheet, and skirt. Now I just need the blanket. It has been a lot of fun and I am excited to see what will happen. I am thinking about trying to sell it on Etsy first to see if there is a market and if people will buy it. I hope to keep it up and I look forward to making more. So if you are ever interested, let me know. Here is a sneak peek of what I have been doing so far!

the left is a boy set that is just about done, and the right is the fabric I am using for a girl set


diaper & wipes case, bibs, and burp cloths! A little more girl stuff, but plenty boy on the way

I also made this baby leg warmers out of knee high socks...so cute...even cuter under a skirt!

Now it is Monday and Eric is still asleep. I have already fed taylor once, played around with her, and now she is back asleep. On today's agenda...clean house, pack for vegas, make much needed phone calls, get tires on the car, laundry, and the DENTIST! Eric is having some serious pain with his tooth. The poor guy has had a horrible tooth ache all weekend. I was able to sneak him into the dentist today to get it looked at. He has really been in a lot of pain. No fun!

See you in a week...we are off to 70 degree weather (I hope)! We are going to take Taylor out and get a lot of fresh air!!!
