Grammy and Granddad come to visit

Hi everyone,

I'm taking a short break from my GIANT cleaning project to post about this weekend. Kyle and I have had a great weekend with a visit from Grammy and Granddad. As could be expected, they could not wait to get their hands on their favorite grandchild! We had lots of fun going shopping, running errands, and just hanging around the house watching sports. Kyle was such a good boy for his grandparents. Here are some of my favorite pictures from this weekend:


Kyle's looking off camera in the picture below because right at the moment that my mom took the picture, the kitty walked by! Kyle is starting to become a HUGE fan of the kitty...although she is not a huge fan of him!






Okay, back to the grind for me. My parents left this morning, and I have taken it upon myself to clean the entire house, top to bottom. I have been at it since 8:00 a.m. this morning. Here's some, but not all, of what I've done so far:
1. Cleaned up my entire bedroom, including folding and putting away two loads of laundry and going through the giant pile of magazines and books next to my bed and throwing away half of everything (it was painful);
2. Cleaned out my office and threw away three trash bags full of old junk mail, old papers, old books, and general detritus (yes, I shredded the sensitive documents first). (Yes, there were a few gems that I just could not bear to part with. I'll have to post about those later);
3. Vacuumed out my office (sounds easy, but was hard, the carpet was so dirty it required two passes! Yuck!);
4. Cleaned and did laundry for the guest room;
5. Febreezed the living crap out of the entire downstairs to create a clean, spring-like fresh scent.
The next items on my agenda include cleaning out underneath my bathroom counter and possibly organizing my scrapbook table. My closet needs work, too...but I think that's an entire day's worth of organizing all by itself! Haha!

Take Our Children To Work Day

Hey everyone! Today was National Take Our Children To Work Day. Kyle's been to my office many times, but this was a fun way to celebrate his official 9-month birthday!

Here's Kyle on the floor of my office. Doesn't he look ready to go to court? (He needs a suit and a tie, though!)


Here are Kyle and I, ready to start the day!

Kristol and Asa love Kyle. Every time they go somewhere on vacation, they bring something for him. In fact, Kristol is the Unofficial President of Kyle's Fan Club. Hmmm...I wonder if they need a little munchkin of their own?


Have a great weekend, everyone!

Hi everyone! I'm taking a break from a giant pile of laundry to post this video that I took the other day. For some reason, it wouldn't post with the pictures. This video is funny! Kyle just cracks me up!



I think Kyle has allergies! He's had a runny nose and red eyes. He was up several times last night having a coughing attack. Then. my cat woke me up at 4:00 a.m.! I'm tired! How soon will 9:00 p.m. get here?

Kyle shows off his new basketball

Last weekend, I got Kyle a mini-basketball at the Jazz game, and today he wore his jersey to school. I got some great pictures at home this afternoon. You can hardly tell the difference between Kyle and a real basketball star (except for the milk and drool down the front of the uniform, of course!)






Have a great week, everyone!

Kyle and his musical table

Here's the video of Kyle with his musical table. He loves this thing! No wonder I have to replace the batteries every other week!



Have a great weekend, everyone!

Kyle crawls like a champion!

I took some pictures and a new video on Saturday morning of Kyle. He's getting so big, and can do so much compared to just a few months ago. He's definitely growing up too fast for his mom!
Here he is, showing off his crawling and sitting skills. Yes, I know he's only wearing a diaper, but he was being so dang cute that I couldn't resist snapping a few pics!





I also took a video of Kyle playing with his musical table, but for some reason, the blogger would not upload it. I'll have to try again later! Have a great week, everyone!
