Zoo Day, Hooray!

Micah and I spent the day at the zoo with my cousins and their kids, we all had a really good time. This was Micah's first trip to the zoo so I felt bad that we went without Ryan. I thought that this would be a great day to go to the zoo, the weather was the best we've had in a while and I figured that since it is still February, there wouldn't be a lot of traffic. WRONGO! It was a full house.

Micah seemed to enjoy seeing all the different animals and I loved being able to spend time with my cousins. I didn't get a whole lot of pictures, but here are the few that I did get. Thanks for inviting us Brooke!

Happy Birthday Micah!

I finally finished a quilt! One of my new years resolutions this year was to finish the projects that I begin. I started a quilt at the beginning of January in hopes to finish it before Micah Birthday. A month and a half later it is DONE! So Micah at 13 months is finally getting his birthday present from me. This is the first quilt I have ever finished. I started one for Ryan when we got maried that is half way finished, I promised him I would finish it after I did Micah's. Anyway, there are tons of mistakes that I made and to be honest I am afraid to wash it. I am worried that it will completely fall apart in the wash.



So I am pretty late posting about Micah's Birthday, now that his gift is done I thought this was as good a time as any. Micah's Birthday was so fun, we had a small party over at Ryan's parents house. I worked all day on a cake that was pretty goofy looking, but it tasted okay. Micah didin't care too much for the cake. When we first set the cake down on his table, he tried to pick it up, but it was too heavy; silly goose. After getting frosting all over his hands, Micah spent the remaider of the time licking his fingures and sucking his thumb. He is so cute, I love him so much.

The many seasons of Ryan

Am I the only one out there that has to hassle their husband to get a hair cut? Ryan has hairdo's for the different times of year. Some of them I love and others have to go!

The cycle begins in the summer, Ryan will usually buzz his head. He like this because it helps him stay cooler in the hot weather, I really like this look too.
In the fall Ryan has the sexy do next, that's what I like to call it. This cut usually happens when Ryan is starting to get the Chia pet look. So instead of looking like and ornate house plant he has it cut to my specifications.
The winter season is rough for so many reasons. A few of those reasons are, it's cold, I am cooped up in the house, and Ryan's Shaggy Hair. This year he has achieved a record length. I never measured it, but it was about 4-6 inches all the way around. I can't blame him for going so long with out a hair cut, he has thick, shiny, healthy hair. It just wasn't a good look for him. I got to the point where I couldn't take it any more and I had to try to convince him to get a hair cut.



To my surprise, it was much easier to convince him this time. So now Ryan is sporting the Sexy haircut and I love it (Thanks Val). The only thing I have to worry about now is Post Hair cut depression. This is depression is pretty self explanatory and Ryan goes through it every time he gets a hair cut. The cure is to show him a before and after picture and the depression usually subsides.

More Micah Videos

Earlier today I ripped off a bunch of tape that I was using to mark a quilt. The following is Micah's adventure with the tape. Enjoy!

Micah, Walking, Laughing

Lots of laughter is just one of the many benefits of having a child. (We just did our taxes and, believe me, that is another).

Our little musician

I know it has been a long time since I have posted, I have had a lot to say but I just don't sit down to post, instead I like to catch up on other blogs.

Last night with the help of my family I figured out how to pull the videos off my phone and onto my computer. I will probably be sharing all of them eventually, but today I really want to share my favorite one.

Recently Ryan and I have been pulling out our old keyboard to let Micah play with it. He loves to pound on the keys, his favorite feature however is the Demo button that plays a funky version of the music from the "Nutcracker," when he hears this he loves to shake his booty!
